ℹ️ About This Tool

How It Works

Vedic Astrology Transit Finder calculates the precise moment when a planet crosses into a specific Zodiac sign or Nakshatra using:

Swiss Ephemeris: Industry-standard astronomical calculations
Lahiri Ayanamsa: Traditional Vedic sidereal zodiac system
Linear Search Algorithm: Daily scan with hour and minute-level refinement for precise transit timing
Date Range Limit: Maximum 2 years (730 days) to ensure fast and accurate results

Understanding the Results

Date & Time: Exact moment of transit in UTC (convert to your timezone)
Longitude at Entry: Sidereal position (0-360°) when entering the sign/nakshatra
Degree in Rashi: Position within the 30° span of that sign
Degree in Nakshatra: Position within the 13°20' span of that nakshatra
Pada: Quarter of the nakshatra (1-4), each pada is 3°20'

Rashi vs Nakshatra

Rashi (Zodiac Sign): 12 divisions of 30° each
Nakshatra (Lunar Mansion): 27 divisions of 13°20' each
Each Rashi contains: 2.25 nakshatras
Each Nakshatra contains: 4 padas (quarters)

Special Notes

Rahu & Ketu: Move retrograde (backwards through zodiac)
Slow Planets: Jupiter and Saturn stay in signs for longer periods
Fast Planets: Moon changes signs every ~2.3 days and nakshatras every ~1 day
Nakshatra Transits: More frequent than rashi transits, useful for daily muhurta
