What today's Gochar chart shows
The Gochar Today chart uses Swiss Ephemeris calculations with Lahiri ayanamsha. It shows the current rashi, nakshatra, degree, and retrograde status for each of the 9 grahas so you can read today's planetary picture in the Vedic sidereal framework.
This is the shared sky picture for today, not a personal prediction. For a personal Gochar Kundali reading, compare these transits with your natal lagna, Moon sign, houses, and current dasha.
How it works
- 01Positions are fetched from our real-time sidereal ephemeris
- 02The Lahiri ayanamsha is applied to convert tropical to sidereal
- 03Rashi (sign), Nakshatra, and degree are calculated for each planet
- 04Retrograde status is flagged where applicable
Planetary positions fetched from Swiss Ephemeris. Lahiri ayanamsha (~24°07') applied for sidereal conversion. Sign and nakshatra computed from ecliptic longitude. Retrograde status derived from heliocentric velocity.

Frequently asked questions
What is Gochar today?
Gochar today means the current movement and position of the nine Vedic grahas through the zodiac. This page shows today's sidereal rashi, nakshatra, degree, and retrograde status for each graha.
How do I read today's Gochar chart?
Start with the planet, then read its current rashi, exact degree, nakshatra, and retrograde status. To interpret how that transit affects you personally, compare it with the houses and planets in your birth chart.
Is today's Gochar the same for everyone?
The astronomical planetary positions are the same reference picture for everyone, but their personal effects differ by birth chart, location, lagna, Moon sign, dasha, and the houses being activated.
What is the difference between sidereal and tropical positions?
The tropical zodiac used in Western astrology is based on the seasons and the Sun's position at the Spring equinox. The sidereal zodiac used in Vedic astrology is based on the actual constellations. They differ by approximately 24° (the ayanamsha), meaning your Western Sun sign may differ from your Vedic one.
What is Ayanamsha?
Ayanamsha is the angular difference between the tropical and sidereal starting points. Gochar uses the Lahiri ayanamsha, the most widely accepted value in modern Jyotish. Currently approximately 24°07'.
Are Rahu and Ketu real planets?
Rahu and Ketu are the lunar nodes, the points where the Moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic. They are not physical bodies but are treated as shadow planets (Chhaya Grahas) in Vedic astrology. They always move retrograde and are always 180° apart.
Is the Gochar Today chart free?
Yes. The current transit chart is free and does not require an account.
