Free Planetary Transit Impact Calculator (2026)
See how today’s Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu and Mars transits fall in your birth-chart houses from Lagna.
What are planetary transits in Vedic astrology?
Planetary transits — gochar in Sanskrit — describe where planets sit in the sky today relative to the fixed blueprint of your birth chart. Your natal Lagna (Ascendant) and planetary positions do not change; transit planets do. When a slow planet moves into a new rashi, it lights up a different house counted from your rising sign. That house theme — career, marriage, health, gains — becomes more active for as long as the planet stays there.
This free calculator maps current Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu, and Mars signs onto your natal houses from Lagna. Enter birth date, time, and place so we can compute your Ascendant accurately; today’s transit signs are shared for everyone on a given day and do not require a second city for sign-level work.
Why Saturn and Jupiter transits matter most
Saturn takes roughly two and a half years per sign. Its transit through houses 1, 4, 7, 8, or 12 from Lagna is often called a watch period — discipline, delays, and restructuring themes intensify. Jupiter stays about a year per sign and frequently expands houses 1, 5, 9, and 11 with growth, learning, and opportunity — if the chart and dasha support it. Pairing transit houses with your Vimshottari Dasha gives better timing than either tool alone.
If your concern is specifically Saturn over the Moon, use the dedicated Sade Sati calculator. Transit Impact here is Lagna-based house mapping for today’s sky, not Moon-based Sade Sati phases.
How Rahu and Ketu nodal transits work
Rahu and Ketu move retrograde through the zodiac and spend about eighteen months in a sign. They always occupy opposite houses. When the nodal axis falls on the 1–7 line from your Lagna, identity and partnership themes can feel unusually intense — ambition, foreign pulls, detachment, and relationship tests often rise together. Remedial themes in Jyotish tradition emphasise calm routine, honest speech, and grounded spiritual practice rather than fear.
Transit vs natal chart — what’s the difference?
Your natal chart is a snapshot of the sky at birth — Lagna, Moon, and all grahas fixed in houses. Transits are the moving sky now. A planet “in your 10th house” by transit means its current sign matches the 10th house counted from your Ascendant, not that your natal Saturn moved. Natal strength still filters results: a well-placed Jupiter natal may express a Jupiter transit more smoothly than a weak one.
Mars is included here as a mild, short-window overlay (~45 days per sign). It colours courage, conflict, and drive briefly; treat Mars cards as situational, not multi-year forecasts.
How to use transit information practically
Read the house theme first, then the positive and caution lists as planning prompts — budgeting, health checkups, relationship talks, career pacing — not as fixed fate. Prefer Abhijit windows and avoid Rahu Kaal when starting work; check Aaj Ka Panchang for daily timing.
