How to Read Guru Gochar
Gochar (transit) means the present movement of a graha through the sky. Guru stays in one rashi for about a year, so the results are broad, steady, and easier to notice through study, family, wealth, and guidance.
Read this page from your Moon rashi. The Moon shows lived experience in Jyotish, while Guru shows growth, wisdom, children, teachers, and blessings. If you are unsure, use the find your Moon rashi by date of birth tool first.
Guru can move backward by retrograde motion and briefly touch a sign boundary more than once. Naksham's live band merges close retrograde fragments into the practical gochar window, while the retrograde pill shows if Guru is moving backward now.
For full timing, compare this with your dasha calculator, your personal 90-day forecast, and the slower Shani gochar for your rashi.
