Planet transits 2026–2027
Gochara, the movement of the planets through the signs, is how Vedic astrology times the ups and downs of a year. Here are the big transits of the next 18 months, calculated from Swiss Ephemeris in sidereal (Lahiri) positions, what tradition says about them, and a free check of how each one falls for you.
In focus
♂ Mars in Simha (Leo): 12 Nov 2026 to 10 Mar 2027
Mars usually stays about 45 days in a sign. This time it stays 117 days, because it turns retrograde in the middle on 10 Jan 2027. It then steps back into Karka (Cancer) until 26 Apr 2027 and returns to Leo until 5 Jul 2027. Social media posts call a long Mars stay like this Kuja Stambhana and list earthquakes, wars, fires and accidents for it.
What it means for the world
In Medini (mundane) astrology, Mars stands for energy, courage and conflict, fire and heat, sport, the army and police, land, machines and engineering. Leo stands for kings and leaders, government, gold, sport, the stage and forests. So tradition reads this period as one where those themes are active: strong-willed leaders, heated politics, sport and courage, and also more need for care with fire, heat and machines.
An honest note. These are themes, not forecasts. A transit is the same for every country, and the classical texts give no way to name a place or a day from it alone; every month somewhere in the world has an earthquake or an accident. Astrologers who study a country look at that country's own chart (for India, the chart of 15 August 1947) and the yearly Mesha Sankranti chart. For you, what matters is where the transit falls from your own Moon sign, below.
