Cancer at a glance
Cancer begins at the June solstice and is the only sign ruled by the Moon, which is why it is tied to home, family, food, memory and moods. The crab's hard shell and soft inside is the usual image. When the Sun enters sidereal Karka in mid-July, Indian calendars mark Karkataka Sankranti and the start of Dakshinayana, the Sun's southward half-year; in Kerala the whole month is spent reading the Ramayana.

Cancer's monthly Moon cycle
Every month the Moon passes through all twelve signs, so every Cancer meets the same rhythm: about two and a half days in each of your houses. When the Moon is in Cancer itself it lights up your first house; when it reaches Taurus, your 11th house of gains, comes the most helpful stretch of the month; and when it reaches Aquarius, your 8th house, comes the Chandrashtama days to take it easy.
