If Dhanu is your rashi (Moon sign)
Inside, you need freedom and hope. You bounce back fast.
Fire signs are active and bold. They like to lead and to start things. Dual signs adapt easily and can see both sides.
If Dhanu is your lagna (rising sign)
People see you as cheerful and honest. You say what you think.
Your lagna is the sign that was rising in the east when you were born. It changes about every two hours, so you need your birth time to know it.
When is the Sun in Dhanu?
In the Indian calendar, the Sun is in Dhanu from about 16 December to 13 January each year. That makes it your Sun sign if you were born then. Your rashi is different: it is your Moon sign, and it needs your exact birth date and time.
Nakshatras in Dhanu
Dhanu holds these nakshatras: Mula (pada 1, 2, 3, 4), Purva Ashadha (pada 1, 2, 3, 4), Uttara Ashadha (pada 1).
