Moon in Karka

With the Moon in its own sign of Karka, your mind feels sensitive, caring and intuitive.

The Moon is in Karka, its own sign, a movable water sign tied to home, mother and emotional roots. Intuition and empathy run strong. The day favours family time, cooking, caring for others and tending your living space. Sensitivity can tip into moodiness, so give yourself quiet moments too. Evening practice near water or under moonlight feels especially soothing.
