In Vedic astrology, planetary transits—known as Gochar—refer to the continuous movement of planets through different Zodiac signs (Rashis) relative to your natal Moon or Lagna.
Understanding Hora (Planetary Hours)
Every day is divided into 24 planetary hours called Horas, starting from local sunrise. Each Hora is ruled by one of the seven classical planets in a specific sequence based on speed.
- Sun Hora: Great for administrative tasks, speaking with authority figures, and leadership.
- Moon Hora: Ideal for emotional reflection, family matters, and public relations.
- Mars Hora: Favorable for physical exertion, competition, and courageous actions.
- Mercury Hora: Excellent for writing, business negotiations, learning, and mathematical work.
- Jupiter Hora: Optimal for spiritual practices, financial investments, higher education, and legal counsel.
- Venus Hora: Perfect for creative arts, romantic endeavors, buying jewelry, and social activities.
- Saturn Hora: Good for discipline, organization, long-term planning, and land investments.
