Dhanu (Sagittarius)

Dhanu is ruled by Jupiter, the teacher of the gods. It is the sign of optimism, philosophical curiosity and a hunger to expand, through travel, study or belief.

A Dhanu Moon is optimistic and always looking toward the next horizon, a real one or an intellectual one. You are honest, sometimes bluntly so, and your enthusiasm spreads: few signs bring as much lightness into a room. The shadow side is restlessness and a habit of promising more than the day allows.

Teaching, publishing, law, travel and any work connected to higher learning or philosophy suit Dhanu. Jupiter adds wisdom and an ethical sense, which makes the sign effective in advisory and educational roles in particular.

Dhanu loves with warmth and honesty. The need for freedom and space can look like a fear of commitment to a partner who has not understood the sign. Given room to roam, Dhanu is a loyal and adventurous partner.

Dhanu is optimistic about money, sometimes taking risks because things will surely work out. The sign does well when its optimism is backed by enough practical planning to carry it through a bad quarter.

Fire signs (Mesha, Simha) share Dhanu's energy, and Air signs (Mithuna, Tula, Kumbha) match its expansiveness without restricting it. Water and Earth signs can build strong bonds with more adjustment. This is the traditional pattern between signs. A real match needs both charts, which the Kundli Matching tool compares.
