Transit (Gochar)

Moon Transit in Cancer (Karka)

When Moon (Chandra), the karaka of mind, mother, emotions, public, comfort, transits Cancer (Karka), a water sign ruled by moon, it activates the nurturing, emotional, protective, intuitive themes of the sign for everyone, with results varying by Moon sign.

Overview: Moon transit through Cancer

Chandra governs the mind and emotions and is the most important indicator of mental wellbeing. The Moon sign (Rashi) shapes instinctive responses.

As Moon enters Cancer, a movable water sign ruled by moon, it expresses through the nurturing, emotional, protective, intuitive nature of the sign. The collective themes highlighted are mind, emotions, mother, felt most where Cancer sits in each chart.
