As the understanding matures, an astrologer should expand his horizon and bring in multitude of other factors, to make the judgement more accurate and comprehensive. The first step however, in understanding of the Transit is to study the results from the Moon. In addition, Nakshatra transits of the Grahas are elaborately dealt in various classics, such as Sarvatobhadra Chakra in Phaladeepika. In addition to judging the transits from the Chandra Lagna and the Lagna, there is a need to judge the various yogas forming during the transit, the state (Avastha) of the transiting Graha, any obstructions (vedha), Ashtakavarga, the transit of the Dasa and Antardasa Grahas etc. A composite analysis of the Transit both from the Lagna and Chandra Lagna gives more accurate results. The transit is equally important from the Lagna which is unique to people born on the same day, having same Chandra Lagna. Although it is customary to look at the transit from the Moon, in my view, that is done only out of convenience as Moon sign is readily known from the day of birth and is used in various matters in India even now. Grahas which are stationed in the Rasi chart and are involved in various good and adverse yogas give their results when they move through various signs during their transits. Transit is a very important aspect of Jyotish, used primarily for timing events.
