    Is Kark rashi in Sade Sati?

    No. Saturn is in Meen, the 9th from Kark. Sade Sati runs while Saturn passes the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from the Moon sign, which for Kark are Mithun, Kark and Singh.

    Is Cancer the same as Kark rashi?

    Kark (Karka) is the sign the Western zodiac calls Cancer, but here it is counted against the stars, in the sidereal zodiac, about 24° from the tropical zodiac most Western horoscopes use. So a Moon in sidereal Cancer can be in the next sign in a Western chart, and a Western sun sign is a different thing again. To be sure, find your Moon sign from your birth date, time and place.
