Every ingress (from → to), retrograde/direct station and combustion begin/end — computed from full-precision VSOP87B ephemerides with the Lahiri ayanamsa. The Status column carries a planet's ongoing retrograde / combustion until it changes. Dates are IST and may shift a day for your timezone.
The live transit board shows where every planet — the Moon included — is right now, on a gochar chart, and lets you step to any month or year.
Open the live transit board →The slow-planet sign changes shape the year: Jupiter → Cancer, Saturn → Aries, Jupiter → Leo, Saturn → Pisces, Jupiter → Virgo. Mercury through Saturn also turn retrograde and direct, and each planet moves in and out of combustion — all dated in the table above.
A transit is where a planet is in the sky at a given time, as opposed to where it was at your birth. Vedic astrology reads these moving positions — which sign and nakshatra each graha occupies, and whether it is retrograde or combust — to time the texture of a period.
A planet stays retrograde from its retrograde station until its direct station, and combust while it is within a few degrees of the Sun. The Status column flags that ongoing state on every event in between — so a sign change that happens while a planet is still retrograde is marked as such.
Positions use the Lahiri ayanamsa from full-precision VSOP87B ephemerides. The eight non-Moon grahas are listed (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu); the Moon changes sign every ~2¼ days, so it is shown on the live board instead.
