Your birth chart is fixed, but the real planets keep moving. Transits — gochar — are how those moving planets relate to your chart right now. Here's how they're read.
What transits are
A transit is simply where a planet is in the sky today, measured against your natal chart. The slow movers draw the most attention, because their long transits colour whole seasons of life — above all the planet of discipline and time, whose much-discussed Sade Sati is a Saturn transit, and the planet of wisdom and growth.
How they're read with dashas
Transits rarely tell the whole story by themselves. They're usually read together with the planetary periods that map life's seasons: the dasha sets the underlying theme, and the transit shows the weather passing over it.
An honest note
Transits describe themes, not fixed events — the weather of a period, not a script. No genuine reading uses a transit to frighten you or to sell costly "remedies" to ward off a planet. A chart can't predict misfortune, and that boundary matters most here.
How to hold it
Take a transit as a prompt to reflect on the season you're moving through, not a verdict on it. We keep that boundary clear in what a chart can and can't reveal.
