This page follows the Karka (Cancer) Moon through 2027, one month at a time. The method is traditional: whole-sign houses from your Moon sign, the Lahiri sidereal zodiac, and Indian Standard Time for every date. For the overview of the year, read the Karka Rashi 2027 yearly page. Here we trace how the Sun, Mars, Mercury, Venus and the Moon’s phases move through your houses.
These are transit tendencies counted from the Moon sign. They are not predictions of events, and your birth chart and dasha decide the detail.
