Dhanu Rashi
ధనుస్
Dhanu Rashi (ధనుస్ రాశి), known as Sagittarius in Western astrology, is the ninth sign of the Vedic zodiac. Ruled by Jupiter (Guru), Dhanu natives are the eternal seekers — philosophical wanderers drawn to wisdom, travel, and the pursuit of higher truths. This mutable fire sign is associated with Indra, king of the gods, blending royal aspiration with restless curiosity and a deep love of freedom. Dhanu people are among the most optimistic and honest in the zodiac, with a gift for inspiring others through their expansive vision, though they can sometimes overlook practical details in their enthusiasm for the big picture.
