Cancer

The nurturer — emotional, protective, deeply tied to family and home.

Karka is ruled by the Moon and embodies the principle of emotional nourishment, motherhood, and the sanctuary of home. Cancer natives are sensitive, intuitive, protective of those they love, and deeply tied to memory and the past. Jupiter is exalted here at 5° — the great benefic finds its sweetest expression in nurturing, dharmic, family-oriented Cancer. The sign rules the chest and stomach — Cancers feel emotion in the gut.
