Frequently asked
How do transits affect my life?
Transits activate the natal placements they cross. The event-producing power comes from combining the current transit with your active Mahadasha / Antardasha. Transit alone produces atmosphere; transit during a relevant dasha produces events.
What is the difference between transit and dasha?
Dasha is the long-cycle planetary period system (Vimshottari Mahadasha lasts 6-20 years per planet). Transit (Gochar) is the day-to-day current position. Dasha provides context; transit provides trigger.
How accurate are 2026 transit dates?
Verified against Swiss Ephemeris and cross-checked against acharyalavbhushan.com and drikpanchang.com (New Delhi). Per-city variation is minimal for ingress dates.
Does my Vedic chart use the same transits as Western astrology?
Same planets, different zodiac frame. Vedic uses sidereal (Lahiri Ayanamsa); Western uses tropical. A planet's transit through a sign happens about 24 days apart between the two systems due to precession.
