What Gochar means
Gochar is the movement of the planets through the twelve signs (rashis). The fast planets, the Sun, Mercury and Venus, change sign about every month; Mars every month and a half; Jupiter once a year; Rahu and Ketu every 18 months; and Saturn every two and a half years. The slow planets' transits shape the year, and the fast ones its months.
Why these dates differ from Western astrology
These dates use the Vedic sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, which is about 24° behind the tropical zodiac of Western astrology. So a planet enters each sign here weeks after the date a Western horoscope gives for the same sign. Times are for Ujjain: the moment of a transit is the same everywhere, but the local date can differ.
