Graphic Gochara

Gochara (gochaara) means transit, i.e the position occupied by a planet at a given time. The natal or janma is a planetary position at the time of one's birth. By correlating the transit positions on a given day with the natal positions of several reference points, we can draw some conclusions about the nature of results experienced by the native then.

To analyze the gochara AE Jyotish Master uses a new original graphic method of Graphic Gochara (GG). To start you have to select the natal chart of a person whose gochara will be studied and set the transit date and time period accordingly. A zero (start) point of the vertical axis correponds to a reference point selected in Preferences/Gochara/Zero Point. Usually this is the Moon.

Depending on the houses occupied by transit planets with respect to natal Moon, they exert different influences. The transit of Vimsottari dasa lord is particularly important. The sign occupied by Moon in the natal chart is called "janma rasi" and planets give different results when transiting through houses from janma rasi.

You may explore the GG chart by clicking the planet lines and reading a brief interpretation for every house placement. The text is given only for reference. Of course, not everyone with the same janma rasi experiences the same results on a given day, week or month. The results delivered by the planets depend on what they stand for in the person's natal chart. For example, if Mars is a 5th house lord in a natal chart, then the worries given by it during its transit in the 8th house may pertain to children. If Mars is a 10th lord, the worries may pertain to one's career.

The houses which planet rules are shown at the left graph edge next to a planet glyph and in pop-up text interpretation window.

Both auspicious and inauspicious planet influence may be subjected to vedha (neutralizer). For example if Sun is in 3^rd, any planet except Saturn in 9^th will cause vedha and spoil the auspiciousness of Sun. Conversely, if transit Sun is in 4^th from natal Moon, it is inauspicious but if there is any other planet except Saturn in gochara in 3^rd house from natal Moon, the inauspicious effects of Sun in 4 are cancelled.

In preferences you may select a set of vedha rules used or turn them off at all. Periods affected by vedha are displayed with a gray lines while active planetary periods with color ones
