Questions

Positions are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris.

What is Shani gochar?

Shani gochar is the transit of Saturn through the signs: Shani 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 Saturn 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.
