Dignity and strength
Cancer is ruled by Moon. For Ketu, this makes it a enemy sign. The planet is uncomfortable in an enemy's sign, so its results come with friction.
Personality and nature
Ketu represents detachment, spirituality and moksha, intuition, past-life skills and sudden separation. In the water sign Cancer - symbolised by the crab - these qualities become caring, emotional, family-minded and moody.
The movable quality of Cancer makes the planet's results quick and changeable.
Career and money
With Ketu in Cancer, suitable fields often include research, spirituality, alternative healing, coding and investigative work, coloured by Moon's own interests in hospitality.
Relationships
In relationships, this placement makes a person caring and family-minded.
