Sun nakshatra transit (Surya Nakshatra Gochar) in vedic astrology
In Vedic astrology, Sun nakshatra transit refers to the movement of the Sun through the 27 Nakshatras (lunar constellations). While the Sun changes zodiac signs approximately every 30 days, it changes Nakshatra approximately every 13 to 14 days.
