Use this planetary guide to help you navigate your personal and professional life with ease during the month of July

In Vedic astrology, planetary transits (movement of planets through the zodiac) are known as “Gochara” and are considered to have a significant impact on our lives. Their importance is next to Dasha only and similarly, the planetary transit of 2023 will play an important role in shaping our life. You will have to keep an eye on all the major and minor transits this year because they have the ability to trigger events in our life both good and bad.

In Vedic astrology, each planet is associated with certain qualities and characteristics, and its transit through various zodiac signs affects us in different ways. For example, when Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, transits through a favorable sign in a person’s birth chart, it can bring good luck, wealth, and opportunities. Similarly, the transit of other planets like Rahu, Ketu, and the moon can bring significant changes and challenges in a person’s life, depending on their placement in the birth chart and the current transits.

It is important to note that while planetary transits can indicate general trends and tendencies, they are not the only factor that determines a person’s fate and the position of the planets in the sky at any given time influences our personal and collective experiences. Therefore, the yearly transits of the planets are closely monitored and analyzed in Vedic astrology
