In response to our previous blog post on motion patterns over a long period of time, some readers have expressed their desire to have a similar chart, which would show the relative movement of grahas for the current year. The individual pattern charts for 20 years are good for understanding each graha’s motion, but the combined chart for one year is good for practical application. Therefore, this blog post shares the graphical ephemeris chart for 2016, as well as rāśi and nakṣatra transit calendar in tabular form. Note that with Chakra Darshana on your Android phone or tablet, you can receive transit and direction change notifications automatically. For a published retrograde motion calendar, please refer to the dedicated blog post.
The following picture shows the graphical ephemeris for 2016 with crossing points allowing to visually identify rāśi transits and conjunctions (click on the image for viewing the chart at a larger scale):
Rāśi transit data is provided below in tabular form. In order to keep the table sufficiently narrow for the Web page format, it is organized as follows. Rows are sorted by date and time in UTC, giving a chronological sequence of events. Transits for Candra are omitted, because that would make the table very long. Transits for Sūrya, Maṅgala, Budha, and Śukra are listed in separate columns, because they transit often and having a separate column makes it easy to visually filter transits for that particular graha. Transits for Guru, Śani, Rāhu, and Ketu are listed in a single combined column on the right, because they only transit rarely:
