What it means for each Moon sign

Gochar is read from your Moon sign (rashi). Classical rules, in brief:

• Aries: Mercury transits your 7th house from the Moon (marriage, partnerships and business dealings) — a position that asks for patience and care.
• Taurus: Mercury transits your 6th house from the Moon (health, debts, competition and daily work) — a favourable position in classical gochar.
• Gemini: Mercury transits your 5th house from the Moon (children, studies, romance and ideas) — a position that asks for patience and care.
• Cancer: Mercury transits your 4th house from the Moon (home, mother, property and peace of mind) — a favourable position in classical gochar.
• Leo: Mercury transits your 3rd house from the Moon (courage, siblings and short journeys) — a position that asks for patience and care.
• Virgo: Mercury transits your 2nd house from the Moon (money, family and speech) — a favourable position in classical gochar.
• Libra: Mercury transits your 1st house from the Moon (self, health and confidence) — a position that asks for patience and care.

• Sagittarius: Mercury transits your 11th house from the Moon (gains, income and friends) — a favourable position in classical gochar.

A transit is read with your own chart and running dasha; a planet's effect depends on its strength in your Kundli.
