Moon Transit (Gochar): Now in Virgo

The Moon (Chandra) is the fastest-moving graha, changing signs roughly every two and a quarter days, which is why it governs the day-to-day emotional weather. Its transit is the basis of the daily Panchang nakshatra and of Tarabala — the moment-to-moment favourability read from the Moon’s position relative to your birth star.
