Dhanu Rashi Meaning
Dhanu rashi (Sagittarius) spans 240° to 270° of the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the archer, its ruling planet is Jupiter (Guru), and it is a fire sign. It covers Mula, Purva Ashadha and the first pada of Uttara Ashadha. In panchang, the Moon's rashi gives the daily Chandra rashi, and the Sun's entry into Dhanu is Dhanu Sankranti.
In Simple Terms
Dhanu Rashi is Sagittarius, the 9th sign of the sidereal zodiac. Its exact use depends on the wider panchang context: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vaara, and local sunrise.
