About a month in each sign
The Sun spends about one month in each rashi. Jyotish counts its current position from both the lagna and the natal Moon. It also checks whether the Sun joins a natal graha and whether a Sun dasha or a period connected with the transited house is running. For example, the Sun in the tenth may increase visibility at work, while the Sun in the twelfth may direct energy toward retreat, foreign places, or work done privately.
What a Sun transit tends to touch
Solar topics include father, government, status, confidence, eyes, and vitality. A transit does not change the natal Sun; it temporarily emphasises the house through which the Sun is moving. Combustion may also matter when the transiting Sun comes very close to another graha. Its meaning depends on the graha involved and the natal chart, and it does not mean that a person's identity disappears.
Transit and dasha together
A Sun transit during a Saturn dasha differs from the same transit during a Sun dasha because the active natal period changes the context. Dasha shows which natal graha is giving results, while gochara shows the current movement of the sky. The natal Sun remains the lasting placement. The transit describes a temporary emphasis lasting about a month.
How to ask about a Sun transit here
A reading compares Surya gochara with your sidereal chart, natal Sun, relevant houses, and current dasha. Bring your date, exact time, and place of birth, then ask about the work, parent, authority, health, confidence, or public situation you are experiencing this month.
