Karka

What Karka describes

Karka holds what matters. It tends to mark where a person feels most, remembers longest, and moves to protect first. Ruled by the Moon, it is responsive by nature — which is why the same placement can read as deep care or as difficulty letting a thing go.

This is the archetype on its own. It is not a reading. Where Karka actually shows up for you — and how strongly — depends on which houses it governs in your chart and which grahas sit in it. Two people with the same rashi emphasised can look nothing alike.
