If Kark is your rashi (Moon sign)
Inside, you feel everything deeply. Home and family are your anchor.
Water signs feel deeply. They care about people and remember everything. Movable signs like to begin things and keep moving.
If Kark is your lagna (rising sign)
People see you as caring and soft. You remember what people need.
Your lagna is the sign that was rising in the east when you were born. It changes about every two hours, so you need your birth time to know it.
When is the Sun in Kark?
In the Indian calendar, the Sun is in Kark from about 17 July to 16 August each year. That makes it your Sun sign if you were born then. Your rashi is different: it is your Moon sign, and it needs your exact birth date and time.
