Gochara is the Vedic system of planetary transits. Each transit is counted by house from your birth Moon, not your Ascendant, so the same sky reads differently for different people.

The report covers the 12 areas of life, one for each house from your birth Moon: Tanu (self and body), Dhana (wealth), Sahaja (courage and siblings), Sukha (home), Putra (children and creativity), Ripu (obstacles), Kalatra (partnerships), Ayu (transformation), Dharma (fortune and purpose), Karma (career), Labha (gains) and Vyaya (loss and liberation).

Two speeds are at work. Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu stay in one house for months or years, so the same area can carry their influence for a long time. The Moon changes house about every two and a quarter days, which is why it supplies the day-to-day variation. Each area shows whichever of these are in its house today, and a quiet area says so.

Each transit is also weighed against your own Ashtakavarga. A placement that is classically favourable but poorly supported in your chart, or classically difficult but well supported, is read as mixed. Planetary positions are taken at sunrise at your location.

For a fuller picture of one area across a whole week, use the weekly Gochara report. To check whether a particular day suits you, use Tarabala.
