Dhanu (Sagittarius)

Dhanu (Sagittarius) rising

With Dhanu rising you are tall and well developed, with a large forehead, high brows, a long nose, bright eyes and a charming, open face. Guru (Jupiter) rules your lagna: you are bold, optimistic and energetic, you love truth and principle and will speak them whatever it costs, and you fight for people who are treated unjustly. You weigh the pros and cons of a venture carefully, then pursue it with courage; higher learning, long journeys, foreign contacts, religion and philosophy draw you. You make friends in a moment and keep them for years. Your lessons are tact, keeping the promises you make in enthusiasm, and not letting bluntness wound the people you love.

The Moon in Dhanu (Sagittarius)

Chandra in Dhanu gives a hopeful, open and principled mind that loves learning, travel and faith: you are generous, straightforward and respectful of teachers and elders. The mind needs freedom and a larger purpose; without one it changes opinions restlessly.

The Sun in Dhanu (Sagittarius)

Surya in Dhanu, a friend's sign: the self is principled and far-seeing, drawn to teaching, law, religion and dealings abroad, and the father is often a guide in dharma. Look after the eyes and ears.
