Cancer (कर्क)

Cancer is the only sign ruled directly by the Moon, making it one of the most emotionally sensitive and intuitively gifted signs in Vedic astrology. If your Moon is in Cancer, your inner world is rich, vivid, and constantly in motion. You feel things deeply — the highs are exhilarating and the lows can be consuming. Your strength lies in your ability to nurture, protect, and form deep emotional bonds. People naturally trust you and turn to you in difficult times.

Home and family are central to who you are. You need a safe emotional environment to flourish, and when that environment is threatened, you retreat behind your shell. The hardest thing for Cancer natives is learning to protect their energy without shutting people out. In career, you perform best in roles where emotional intelligence is valued — healing, teaching, caregiving, or any field where human connection matters.
