Gochar — the current motion of the grahas — is read against your birth chart: a transit lands differently for every Moon sign and Lagna. The slow movers matter most: Saturn (about 2.5 years per sign), Jupiter (about a year per sign), and the nodes Rahu–Ketu (about 18 months per sign) set the background weather, while the inner planets add the day-to-day texture.
