Frequently asked questions
Is this Cancer horoscope by Sun sign or Moon sign?
By Moon sign (rashi), which is how Vedic astrology reads transits. If you were born under the Moon in Cancer, this is yours. If you only know your Western sun sign, cast a free chart to find your true Moon sign first.
Which planets most affect Cancer this year?
The slow movers set the tone: Jupiter in your twelfth house (testing), Saturn in your ninth house (mixed), Rahu in your eighth house (testing), Ketu in your second house (mixed). The Sun in your sixth house adds the year's rhythm.
How accurate is a sign-only horoscope?
A rashi horoscope is a real, classical reading of the current transits from your Moon sign — but it is general to everyone of that sign. For timing that is specific to you, a full birth-chart reading factors in your ascendant, dasha and the exact degrees.
This is for everyone with the Moon in Cancer. Want timing built around you — your rising sign, life periods and exact degrees? Read your own chart.
