Dhanu (Sagittarius)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Dhanu (Sagittarius) spans 240° to 270° of the sidereal zodiac. It is a dual fire sign ruled by Jupiter, symbolised by the Archer. No planet is exalted or debilitated here. Dhanu emphasis reads as philosophical and expansive: it wants a framework that explains things, and it says what it concludes rather plainly.
