Sun transit for each Moon sign
Gochar is read from your Moon sign (rashi). Count from your Moon sign, as house 1, to the sign Sun is in now. The classical texts call Sun's transit favourable in houses 3, 6, 10, 11 from the Moon. Your full chart and running dasha matter more, so treat this as a general guide.

| मेष (Aries) | 7th | Needs care |
| वृष (Taurus) | 6th | Favourable |

What Sun's transit means
The Sun (Surya) stands for the soul, vitality, the father, authority, government and recognition. Its transit colours how confident and visible you feel, and how dealings with seniors and officials go.
The Sun spends about one month in each sign and never turns retrograde. The day it enters a new sign is a Sankranti; Makar Sankranti, when it enters Capricorn, is the best known.
The Sun's position also decides which planets are asta (combust): any planet that comes close enough to the Sun loses strength until it moves away again.
Frequently asked questions
- Which sign is the Sun in today?
- The live position at the top of this page shows the Sun's sidereal (Lahiri) sign and degree right now, with the date it entered the sign and the date it moves on.
- Why do Vedic Sankranti dates differ from Western sun-sign dates?
- Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which today sits about 24 degrees behind the tropical zodiac used in Western astrology. So the Sun enters each Vedic sign roughly three weeks later than the Western dates.
- Which ayanamsa is used for these positions?
- All positions use the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris, the same standard used for your janam kundli.
