Kark Rashifal for 15 Jul: 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.

Aaj ka Kark Rashifal · Cancer Moon sign

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.

No Sade Sati or dhaiya for Kark now: Saturn is in Meen, your 9th, until 3 Jun 2027. The next, Sade Sati, runs from 31 May 2032 to 13 Jul 2039.

The next Sade Sati for Kark begins on 31 May 2032 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 13 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.

A name rashi is the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra's syllable. 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 Kark on 15 Jul, the 1st house, Kark itself, until Thursday 16 Jul, 7:52 PM. 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 15 Jul, the Moon is in Kark, from Tuesday 14 Jul, 6:49 PM to Thursday 16 Jul, 7:52 PM: 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 15 Jul, the Moon is in Pushya, one of Kark's nakshatras, and in its pada 4 until 9:47 PM. 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?

Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Kark on 15 Jul: Saturn is in Meen, the 9th house from Kark. The next Sade Sati for Kark begins on 31 May 2032 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 13 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?

Jupiter moves into Singh on 31 Oct, 12:03 PM, the 2nd house from Kark; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 5:46 PM, the 7th and 1st houses from Kark (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh on 3 Jun 2027, 5:28 AM, the 10th house from Kark. 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 15 Jul, at 5:35 PM, the Sun is in Cancer 23°02′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Mithun 28°48′ 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.
