Questions

Positions are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris.

When does Jupiter enter Leo in 2028?

On 28 February 2028 at 19:17 IST, by the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri).

When is Jupiter retrograde in 2028?

From 12 January 2028 to 14 May 2028.

What is Guru gochar?

Guru gochar is the transit of Jupiter through the signs: Guru is its Hindi name, and gochar means its movement through the zodiac.

Why do Vedic and Western transit dates differ?

The Vedic zodiac used here is sidereal, measured against the stars with the Lahiri ayanamsa; the Western zodiac is tropical, measured from the equinox. The two are about 24° apart, so Jupiter reaches each Vedic sign about 24° further along its path.

Which time zone are the times in?

India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) by default. Choose another zone at the top of the page and every time on it changes.

How the positions are found

Read the methodology
Positions
Geocentric, in the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, from the Swiss Ephemeris (NASA JPL’s DE441).
Rahu and Ketu
Sign changes give the mean node first, as the Surya Siddhanta does (1.33), with the true node beside it.
Western positions
The tropical zodiac runs about 24° ahead of the sidereal one, so Western sign dates fall earlier.
Time zones
Times are in India time by default. Switch to any other zone at the top of the page.
