Chandra Rashi Peyarchi — 2028

Chandra Rashi Calendar 2028 — what this timeline shows

The Chandra Rashi Calendar for 2028 — the annual calendar of every Moon Rashi (Moon sign) change — goes by many names across Indian regional traditions:

• Chandra Rashi Peyarchi — the primary name we use across the site; combines the Sanskrit "Chandra Rashi" (Moon sign) with "Peyarchi" (transit) into one clear label.
• Chandra Rashi Calendar / Moon Rashi Calendar — the plain Sanskrit / English name used in modern Vedic almanacs.
• Chandra Peyarchi (சந்திர பெயர்ச்சி) — the Tamil / South Indian term for Moon transit or sign change.
• Chandra Gochar (चंद्र गोचर) / Chandrama Gochar — the North Indian Hindi term for Moon transit.
• Chandrama Rashi Parivartan (चंद्रमा राशि परिवर्तन) — another Hindi phrasing meaning "Moon changing sign," widely used in panchang and almanac publications.
• Moon Yearly Transit / Annual Moon Sign Change Calendar — the English descriptions most commonly used in Western Vedic-astrology software.

All of the above refer to the same set of events: every moment the sidereal Moon crosses from one Rashi into the next. This page shows every one of them for 2028 as a card, ordered chronologically. Because the Moon moves ~13° per day and stays only ~2.25 days in each sign, 2028 contains around 160 sign-visit cards.

Dignity filter chips

At the top of the timeline you'll find five dignity filter chips — Exalted, Own Sign, Debilitated, Neutral, and All — each with a live count of matching cards in 2028. Tap any chip to instantly narrow the timeline to just those visits:

• Exalted — Moon-in-Taurus visits, where the Moon is at maximum sidereal dignity. Typically 13–14 windows per year, each ~2.25 days. Peak exaltation (3° Taurus) is called out inside each card as a sub-event.
• Own Sign — Moon-in-Cancer visits, where the Moon rules its own zodiac sign. Emotionally centred and generally supportive of family / home / Lakshmi rituals.
• Debilitated — Moon-in-Scorpio visits, the Moon's lowest dignity. Peak debilitation (3° Scorpio) is flagged as a sub-event; traditional practice suggests postponing new emotional commitments during these windows.
• Neutral — every visit in one of the remaining nine signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces). No special dignity flag; the Moon simply passes through with its normal ~2.25-day duration.
• All — clears the filter and shows every card again. The chip pinned at the end of the strip so it reads as the reset action.

Month filter chips

Below the dignity chips is a second strip of twelve month chips — Jan, Feb, through Dec — each showing the count of Moon sign entries that begin in that month (typically 12–14 per month). Tap any month chip to instantly filter the timeline down to just that month's visits. Tap the same chip again (or "All") to clear. The chip strip stays sticky as you scroll, so the filter is always reachable.

Common questions this page answers

The two chip strips are independent. Stack them to narrow the timeline to a very specific answer — for example, click Exalted AND Mar to see "when is the Moon in Taurus in March 2028?" as a single card. Common combined queries this page answers instantly:

• When is the Moon exalted in 2028? — click Exalted. Returns all Taurus visits (~13 windows).
• When is the Moon in Cancer in 2028? — click Own Sign. Returns all Cancer visits (~14 windows).
• When is the Moon debilitated in 2028? — click Debilitated. Returns all Scorpio visits (~13 windows).
• When is the Moon exalted in January 2028? — click Exalted + Jan. Returns 1 card (or 0 if the Taurus visit that month falls just outside the calendar boundary).
• When is the Moon in Cancer in July 2028? — click Own Sign + Jul. Returns 1–2 Cancer visits in that month.
• When is the Moon debilitated in October 2028? — click Debilitated + Oct. Returns the Scorpio visit(s) in that month, along with the exact Peak Debilitated (3° Scorpio) sub-window.
• Which days is the Moon in Taurus in February 2028? — click Exalted + Feb, then read the entry / exit times off the card.
• Which months of 2028 have peak Moon exaltation? — click Exalted with no month filter; the resulting card list spans all months where a Taurus visit contains a Peak Exalted sub-event.
• When is the Moon in Aries / Gemini / Leo / Virgo / Libra / Sagittarius / Capricorn / Aquarius / Pisces in 2028? — click Neutral + the target month. All nine neutral-dignity signs are visible under that combined filter.

Peak dignity windows

The Moon is exalted in Taurus 0°00'00"–3°00'00" (peak at exactly 3°00'00"), moolatrikona across Taurus 3°00'01"–29°59'59", and debilitated throughout Scorpio (peak at exactly 3°00'00"). Because the Moon moves ~13° per day, the exaltation stretch lasts about 5.5 hours and each peak only about 2 seconds. Every Taurus card carries a Dignity bands section splitting the visit at 3°00'00" — the exalted hours and the moolatrikona remainder each listed with their own entry and exit times — so the card no longer implies the Moon is exalted for the whole ~55-hour visit when exaltation is only its first ~5. Taurus and Scorpio cards additionally carry the peak instant as its own sub-event.

Why the Moon doesn't retrograde or combust

The Moon never retrogrades in geocentric view — its motion is always forward. Classical Vedic astrology also does not treat the Moon as combust in daily practice, so this year page has no retrograde bar overlays or combust callouts (unlike the Venus year page). Every card here is a clean forward-motion sign visit.
