Cancer Horoscope — Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cancer monthly horoscope based on the Sun sign or the Moon sign?

This monthly horoscope is based on your Moon sign (chandra rashi). Through the month the Sun's transit from your Moon sign sets the tone — shifting at the mid-month Sankranti. Use the Birth Rashi calculator to find your Moon sign.

How is the Cancer (Karka) monthly horoscope calculated?

It is computed for the whole calendar month from the Sun's house from your sign (which shifts at the mid-month Sankranti), the inner-planet ingresses, and the slow-planet backdrop relative to your Moon sign. It updates each month.

What does the Cancer monthly horoscope cover?

It covers nine areas — career, business, finance, love, marriage, family, children, health and education — across the month's two halves, plus the month's best & caution dates, key dates (Sankranti, eclipses, festivals & vrats), lucky colour, number & direction, and a remedy.
