Mars (Mangal) Rashi Transit 2022

Mars governs energy, courage, property and conflict. It stays about six weeks in a sign and turns retrograde roughly every two years, when it can cross the same sign boundary more than once.

A rashi transit (Gochar) is the moment a graha leaves one zodiac sign and enters the next in the sidereal (Nirayana, Lahiri) system. Transit signs are read against your Moon sign and ascendant to judge the effect of the period. The Mars spends about 45 days in each sign. Times below are exact to the minute, calculated with the sidereal Lahiri ayanamsa.

Rows marked Retrograde are crossings made while Mars is moving backward, so it can appear to re-enter the same sign more than once.

Note: positions are calculated with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa using the Swiss Ephemeris. Other Panchang sources use slightly different ayanamsa values, so their times can differ from these by a few minutes for the Sun and Moon, and by more for slower planets such as Jupiter and Saturn.
