Sagittarius (धनु / धनु)
Governed by Jupiter (Guru / Brihaspati Deva)
Vedic Astrological Overview
Dhanu (Sagittarius) occupies 240° to 270° of the sidereal zodiac. Ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the auspicious cosmic teacher of Dharma, wisdom, philosophy, and higher learning, Dhanu is the archer of truth. As a dual fire sign (Dvisvabhava Agni), it fuels an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, spiritual expansion, and ethical righteousness.
Personality Traits & Core Archetype
Dhanu natives are optimistic, visionary, honest, and philosophically inclined. They love exploration, pilgrimages, and debating metaphysical principles. Their blunt honesty stems from an intolerance for falsehood rather than malice. Generous and forward-looking, they inspire others to believe in a higher purpose.
Career, Profession & Wealth (Karma Bhava)
Excel in higher education, jurisprudence, Vedic scholarship, university teaching, international trade, philosophy, publishing, ethical coaching, and spiritual administration. Blessed by Guru's grace, they attract abundance through righteous endeavors and wise mentorship.
