Kark Rashifal for 30 Jan: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Kark rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Kark (कर्क) is the 4th rashi, 90° to 120° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by the Moon, and it holds Punarvasu pada 4, all four padas of Pushya and all four padas of Ashlesha. In English it is called Cancer, but here it means the sign the Moon was in at your birth, not your birthday sign. Every line below names its graha, the house that graha holds from Kark and the classical verse behind it.

0 of the 9 planets support · 9 need attention?

The day's main graha: the Moon (in the attention list).

The Moon in Kumbh, your 8th (research and hidden matters), until Saturday 1 Feb, 10:29 AM: Chandrashtama.

The Sun in Makar, your 7th (marriage and partnership), until 12 Feb, 11:26 AM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: tiring travel and a dip in standing.

Mars in Mithun, your 12th (expenses, foreign lands and moksha), until 2 Apr, 3:59 PM (EDT): classically not a favourable house; classical reading: spending and health.

Mercury in Makar, your 7th, until 11 Feb, 2:25 AM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: friction.

Jupiter in Vrishabh, your 11th (gains and friends), until 14 May, 1:07 PM (EDT): classically a favourable house, but the Moon and Saturn in your 8th hold it back (vedha), and Jupiter is in Vrishabh, whose lord Venus is not its natural friend, so its support is held back; classical reading: gains and health picking up.

Venus in Meen, your 9th (fortune, dharma and father), until 31 May, 2:04 AM (EDT): classically a favourable house, but Jupiter in your 11th holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back; classical reading: happiness and money.

Saturn in Kumbh, your 8th, until 29 Mar, 12:15 PM (EDT): classically not a favourable house, but Kumbh is its own sign, where the texts say it does not work against you; classical reading: strain.

Rahu in Meen, your 9th, until 29 May, 2:48 PM (EDT): classically not a favourable house; classical reading: low spirits.

Ketu in Kanya, your 3rd (courage and siblings), until 29 May, 2:48 PM (EDT): classically a favourable house, but Mars in your 12th holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back; classical reading: happiness.

The day changes at 8:05 AM, when the Moon moves into Kumbh; both parts are shown.

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Work and Money: Ketu, Jupiter and Mars need attention.

Ketu in Kanya, your 3rd (courage and siblings), until 29 May, 2:48 PM (EDT): classically a favourable house, but Mars in your 12th holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back; the texts name no separate result of it for work and money.

Jupiter in Vrishabh, your 11th (gains and friends), until 14 May, 1:07 PM (EDT): classically favourable for gains, but the Moon and Saturn in your 8th hold it back (vedha), and Jupiter is in Vrishabh, whose lord Venus is not its natural friend, so its support is held back.

Mars in Mithun, your 12th (expenses, foreign lands and moksha), until 2 Apr, 3:59 PM (EDT): classically not favourable for spending.

Love and Family?

Love and Family: the Sun and Mercury need attention.

The Sun in Makar, your 7th (marriage and partnership), until 12 Feb, 11:26 AM: classically not a favourable house; the texts name no separate result of it for love and family.

Mercury in Makar, your 7th (marriage and partnership), until 11 Feb, 2:25 AM: classically not favourable for relationships.

Health?

No graha is in your 1st or 6th on 30 Jan, so the texts point to nothing particular for health.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Kark: Exact Dates

Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from the Moon sign, about seven and a half years. Dhaiya is Saturn's passage through the 4th or 8th sign from the Moon sign, about two and a half years.

Shani's dhaiya (8th) for Kark: Saturn is in Kumbh, your 8th, from 17 Jan 2023 to 29 Mar 2025. The whole dhaiya runs from 28 Apr 2022 to 29 Mar 2025, with a pause from 12 Jul 2022 to 17 Jan 2023. Traditionally this passage is a time for steady effort, discipline and looking after health.

  • dhaiya Phaladeepika 26.22–23 · Brihat Samhita 104.39–45

Within this stay, Saturn's effect is classically felt most in the last third of Kumbh: from 6 Apr 2024 to 3 Oct 2024 and from 27 Dec 2024 to 29 Mar 2025.

  • Felt most Phaladeepika 26.25 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.19

Saturn is one of nine: the verdict for Saturn in your 8th and the other eight grahas are in the table below.

The next Sade Sati for Kark begins on 30 May 2032 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 12 Jul 2039, with Saturn stepping out of it from 22 Oct 2038 to 5 Apr 2039.

Counted from the Moon sign, as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 do. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown. Classically it is a time for steady effort and patience, not a fixed outcome.

Each fact is given in at least two classical texts, and where the texts differ both readings are shown. Left out: the element (tattva), which only one of the texts we read gives (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4); and any colour, number or stone for a rashi, which none of them ties to good fortune.

Questions

Kark Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Kark rashi?

The Moon, the lord of Kark, is in Kumbh on 30 Jan, the 8th house from Kark, until Saturday 1 Feb, 10:29 AM. The Moon rules Kark in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. The Moon rules no other rashi.

Which name letters (naam akshar) belong to Kark rashi?

On 30 Jan, the Moon is in Kumbh; its next stay in Kark runs from 10 Feb, 1:27 AM to 12 Feb, 9:06 AM: a child born in those hours has Kark as janma rashi. Kark's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are Hi (Punarvasu 4); Hu, He, Ho, Da (Pushya 1–4); Di, Du, De, Do (Ashlesha 1–4). A name starting with one of them gives Kark as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Kark rashi?

On 30 Jan, the Moon is in Dhanishta; its next pass through Kark begins in Punarvasu pada 4, from 10 Feb, 1:27 AM. Kark covers 90° to 120° of the sidereal zodiac: Punarvasu pada 4, all four padas of Pushya and all four padas of Ashlesha, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Kark, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Kark rashi people like?

They are described as good friends with many friends, fond of home and of building it, drawn to water and gardens, quick on their feet, and with a natural interest in jyotisha. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.4, Saravali 23.23 and Hora Sara 29.4 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon and Kark, the Moon's own sign, are both strong in the birth chart, and Hora Sara 29.13 that a graha joining or aspecting the Moon changes it, so your own kundli says more than the rashi alone.

When do Sade Sati and Shani dhaiya start and end for Kark rashi?

Shani dhaiya is running for Kark on 30 Jan: Saturn is in Kumbh, the 8th house from Kark. It began on 28 Apr 2022 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 29 Mar, with Saturn stepping out of it from 12 Jul 2022 to 17 Jan 2023. The next Sade Sati for Kark begins on 30 May 2032 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 12 Jul 2039, with Saturn stepping out of it from 22 Oct 2038 to 5 Apr 2039. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown, and is counted from the Moon sign as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 count it. Classically Sade Sati and dhaiya ask for steady effort and patience; neither is a fixed outcome.

When does the time change for Kark rashi?

Saturn moves into Meen on 29 Mar, 12:15 PM (EDT), the 9th house from Kark; Jupiter moves into Mithun on 14 May, 1:07 PM (EDT), the 12th house from Kark; Rahu moves into Kumbh and Ketu into Singh on 29 May, 2:48 PM (EDT), the 8th and 2nd houses from Kark (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 18 May). Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Kark, and each change above names the house it brings. The daily reading on this page weighs all nine grahas together, and no rashi has a good or a poor time as a whole.

What is Kark rashi in English?

On 30 Jan, at 4:03 PM, the Sun is in Aquarius 11°14′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Makar 17°01′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Kark is called Cancer in English, yet a rashi is the Moon's sign at birth in the sidereal zodiac, not the birthday sign, so someone whose birthday makes them Cancer need not have Kark rashi.
