Karka nature
Caring, protective and emotionally deep; home and family come first. Moods can rise and fall like the tides of its ruler, the Moon.
Classical tendencies of the Moon in Karka — the mind and feelings, not fate. Your Lagna, the other planets and the running dasha change the picture; the free kundli shows all of them.
