Mercury in Cancer Sidereal
Budha in Karka: gains through work with water or through force, kin who are not very loving.
Everything hangs on one word that can be read two ways. For Budha in Karka, the sidereal Cancer ruled by Chandra, profits may come from activities tied to water, or else from acts of force. Think of the boatman or the mover, whichever fits. Your kin show you little love.
Chandra rules this sign. To read the sign itself, open Cancer sidereal; to read all about Budha, see the Budha guide.
