Karka Rashi · The Nurturer
Cancer
Karka
90° – 120° of celestial longitude
Karka is the sign of emotion, intuition, and nurturing care. Ruled by the Moon (Chandra), it governs the inner world of feelings, memories, family bonds, and the deep need for belonging. Like the tides that respond to the Moon's pull, Cancer moves through life guided by instinct, empathy, and emotional wisdom.
"To be born under Cancer is to carry the gift of the heart — the ability to nurture, protect, and create a sense of home wherever life leads."

Karka's karmic path is to transform emotional attachment into unconditional care — not dependency.
The crab becomes wise when it learns that love protects without controlling.
