Planets & Transits in Vedic Astrology: The Nine Grahas and Their Influence

In Vedic astrology the nine planets (Navagraha) are the moving forces of the chart. As they transit (gochar) through the signs, they activate different areas of life — which is why understanding each graha and its current movement matters.

This guide gathers clear explanations of each of the nine grahas — the Sun and Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu — along with how retrograde motion and major transits are understood. The aim is steady, factual insight: what each planet signifies, and how its movement is read, without alarm.

Current transit insights & analysis

Frequently asked questions

What are the nine planets in Vedic astrology?

The Navagraha are the Sun (Surya), Moon (Chandra), Mars (Mangal), Mercury (Budh), Jupiter (Guru), Venus (Shukra), Saturn (Shani), and the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu. Each signifies particular qualities and areas of life.

What is a planetary transit (gochar)?

A transit is the ongoing movement of a planet through the zodiac signs. As a planet enters a new sign, it activates the corresponding house from your Moon sign or ascendant, which is how Vedic astrology reads timing.

Is a retrograde planet bad?

No. Retrograde (vakri) motion intensifies and turns a planet's energy inward, prompting review and reflection in its areas. It is a natural cycle, not a misfortune — it is read alongside the rest of the chart.
