What gochar is
Phaladeepika reads these transits from the natal Chandra (Moon), counting each house from its rashi. It counts Guru (Jupiter) good in transit through the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th houses from the Moon; Shani (Saturn) good in the 3rd, 6th and 11th; and Rahu and Ketu, whose effect it likens to the Sun's, good in the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th. Elsewhere, it adds, their transit calls for more care. (26.1, 26.2)
Phaladeepika says a graha transiting an unfavourable house does no harm if it is then in its exaltation or own rashi, and gives its full good results if it is also in a favourable house. The same graha transiting a favourable house gives nothing if it is in debilitation, an enemy's rashi or eclipsed; and if the house is also unfavourable, it gives its bad results in a sharper form. (26.31, 26.32)
Shani, Guru, Rahu and Ketu are read for the year because they stay longest in a rashi: Shani about two and a half years, Rahu and Ketu about a year and a half, Guru about a year. The Sun, Moon, Mangal, Budh and Shukra move within weeks; the transit calendar lists every one of their sign changes.

Common questions
Which graha changes sign in 2027?
Shani and Guru change sign in 2027; Rahu and Ketu hold their signs until 24 June 2028.
Is gochar read from the lagna or the Moon?
From the Moon rashi: Phaladeepika (26.1) holds that transits are read from the Moon’s rashi. Reports also read them from the lagna, which needs your birth time.
What is vedha in gochar?
A good transit is held back when another graha stands in the house paired with it. Each rashi page says, for every good stay, whether anything holds it back and on which days.
