Gochara Mars in Cancer (2025) – Rāśi-wise Transit Effects with Remedies

Written By Divya Reddy

Mars will transit into Cancer (Karka Rāśi), its debilitation sign, on April 3, 2025 at 01:32 AM IST and will remain there until June 7, 2025 at 02:12 AM IST. During this time, Mars’s energy becomes emotionally charged, less assertive, and can create disturbances depending on which house it transits from the Moon sign (Janma Rāśi).

Below are the transit (Gochara) results for each Rāśi, based on classical principles and supported by relevant Sanskrit ślokas. These are temporary effects, felt during the ~2-month period Mars spends in Cancer.

For clarification purpose: 

What this is:

✅ Transit (Gochara) results of Mars moving through Karka Rāśi (Cancer)

✅ Effects are given Rāśi-wise, based on the Moon sign (Janma Rāśi), not Lagna

✅ These are temporary effects lasting for the duration of Mars's stay in Cancer (from April 3, 2025 to June 7, 2025)

✅ Practical remedies for each Rāśi during this ~2-month phase(Ashwini – 4 padas; Bharani – 4 padas; Kṛttikā – 1 pada)

 What this is not:

🚫 Not for natal Mars (i.e., Mars in Cancer in your birth chart)
🚫 Not long-term karmic results (those are based on dasha, natal positions, and divisional charts)
🚫 Not interpreted from Lagna (Ascendant) — strictly from Moon sign as per classical Gochara rules
