The Sun is seen as the planet of vitality, strength, and illumination. Without its light, life on Earth wouldn’t exist. In Vedic astrology, the Sun holds the highest position and represents the soul. It is linked with authority, leadership, and individuals who carry significant responsibilities. In mundane astrology, it signifies governments and those in positions of power. In spiritual sciences, the Sun is believed to carry intense transformative energy.

In July 2022, the Sun’s transit into Cancer (Surya Gochar in Kark Rashi) became an important astrological event for every zodiac sign. This movement brought both positive and challenging shifts depending on each sign’s alignment.

Let’s take a detailed look at the timing of this transit and how it impacts all 12 zodiac signs.

Timing of Sun’s Transit in Cancer 2022

The Sun, often connected with fatherly energy, brings benefits when well-placed and challenges when afflicted. During this period, the Sun moved from a dual sign into a movable sign — Cancer, ruled by the Moon. This combination of fire and water carried the potential for major emotional and situational changes.

The Sun entered Cancer on 16 July 2022 at 10:50 PM
It remained in this sign until 17 August 2022, 7:14 AM, after which it moved into its own sign, Leo.
