Sun Transit in Cancer: Impact on All 12 Moon Signs

🌞 The Sun Transits in Cancer (Karka Rashi): Nurturing Light Meets Emotional Depth

🔭 What Does It Mean When the Sun Transits in Cancer?

When Surya Dev moves into Karka Rashi (Cancer), a watery and emotionally intuitive sign ruled by the Moon, the universe shifts into a more inward, nurturing, and protective rhythm. Unlike the fiery authority of the Sun in Leo or Aries, here the Sun takes on a more reflective and caregiving tone.

This transit (usually mid-July to mid-August) is a time of emotional intelligence, family values, spiritual introspection, and deep inner healing. Since Cancer is the natural 4th house of the Kalpurusha Kundli, themes of home, mother, nourishment, and inner security come to the forefront.

🕉️ Vedic Wisdom: Scriptural View

As per the Brihat Samhita (Aditya Ch. 3) and Surya Siddhanta, Surya's placement in watery signs brings inner purification. When Surya enters the sign of his "enemy," Moon, he learns humility and fosters heart-based leadership.

“सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः” — Let the divine light of Surya through Cancer bring peace and emotional wellness to all.
