Every house is counted from Dhanu, so this chart is Dhanu's gochar on that day. Positions at 12:00 PM, sidereal (Lahiri). The number in each house is its rashi: 1 for Mesh to 12 for Meen. R after a graha: retrograde.

Dhanu on 11 Mar: the Moon is in your 4th (mother, home and happiness) all day (Needs attention: house not favourable); 1 of the 9 planets supports, 8 need attention.

Aaj ka Dhanu Rashifal · Sagittarius Moon sign · Monday 11 March 2024

Dhanu Rashifal for 11 Mar: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Dhanu rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Dhanu (धनु) is the 9th rashi, 240° to 270° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by Jupiter, and it holds all four padas of Mula, all four padas of Purva Ashadha and Uttara Ashadha pada 1. In English it is called Sagittarius, but here it means the sign the Moon was in at your birth, not your birthday sign. Every line below names its graha, the house that graha holds from Dhanu and the classical verse behind it.

1 of the 9 planets supports · 8 need attention

The day's main graha: the Moon (in the attention list).

Venus in Kumbh, your 3rd (courage and siblings), until 31 Mar, 4:46 PM: classically a favourable house; classical reading: prosperity and standing.

The Moon in Meen, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until Tuesday 12 Mar, 8:30 PM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: a restless mind.

The Sun in Kumbh, your 3rd, until Thursday 14 Mar, 12:36 PM: classically a favourable house, but the Sun is in Kumbh, whose lord Saturn is not its natural friend, so its support is muted; classical reading: standing, money and good health, with an edge in competition.

Mars in Makar, your 2nd (family, wealth and speech), until Friday 15 Mar, 6:09 PM: classically not a favourable house, but Makar is its exaltation sign, where the texts say it does not work against you; classical reading: words and money.

Mercury in Meen, your 4th, until 26 Mar, 2:57 AM: classically a favourable house, but the Sun, Venus and Saturn in your 3rd hold it back (vedha), and Mercury is in Meen, its debilitation sign, and Mercury is close to the Sun (combust), so its support is held back; classical reading: gains and a growing family.

Jupiter in Mesh, your 5th (children, education and intelligence), until 1 May, 1:00 PM: classically a favourable house, but the Moon and Mercury in your 4th hold it back (vedha), so its support is held back; classical reading: children, prosperity and goodwill.

Saturn in Kumbh, your 3rd, until 29 Mar 2025, 9:45 PM: classically a favourable house, but Saturn is in Kumbh, its own sign, and also close to the Sun (combust); classical reading: standing, helpers and gains.

Rahu in Meen, your 4th, until 30 May 2025, 12:18 AM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: unease.

Ketu in Kanya, your 10th (career and karma), until 30 May 2025, 12:18 AM: classically not a favourable house by most texts (favourable in Phaladeepika 26.2).

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Ketu in Kanya, your 10th (career and karma), until 30 May 2025, 12:18 AM: classically not a favourable house by most texts (favourable in Phaladeepika 26.2); the texts name no separate result of it for work and money.

The Sun in Kumbh, your 3rd (courage and siblings), until Thursday 14 Mar, 12:36 PM: classically favourable for standing and money, with an edge over rivals, but the Sun is in Kumbh, whose lord Saturn is not its natural friend, so its support is muted.

Saturn in Kumbh, your 3rd (courage and siblings), until 29 Mar 2025, 9:45 PM: classically favourable for standing, helpers and gains, but Saturn is in Kumbh, its own sign, and also close to the Sun (combust).

Mars in Makar, your 2nd (family, wealth and speech), until Friday 15 Mar, 6:09 PM: classically not favourable for money, but Makar is its exaltation sign, where the texts say it does not work against you.

Love and Family?

Love and Family: the Moon, Mercury, Rahu and Mars need attention.

The Moon in Meen, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until Tuesday 12 Mar, 8:30 PM: classically not a favourable house; the texts name no separate result of it for love and family.

Mercury in Meen, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until 26 Mar, 2:57 AM: classically favourable for a growing family, but the Sun, Venus and Saturn in your 3rd hold it back (vedha), and Mercury is in Meen, its debilitation sign, and Mercury is close to the Sun (combust), so its support is held back.

Rahu in Meen, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until 30 May 2025, 12:18 AM: classically not a favourable house; the texts name no separate result of it for love and family.

Mars in Makar, your 2nd (family, wealth and speech), until Friday 15 Mar, 6:09 PM: classically not favourable for words at home, but Makar is its exaltation sign, where the texts say it does not work against you.

Health?

No graha is in your 1st or 6th on 11 Mar, so the texts point to nothing particular for health.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Dhanu: Calculated Dates

Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from the Moon sign, about seven and a half years. Dhaiya is Saturn's passage through the 4th or 8th sign from the Moon sign, about two and a half years.

No Sade Sati or dhaiya for Dhanu now: Saturn is in Kumbh, your 3rd, until 29 Mar 2025. The next, dhaiya (4th), runs from 29 Mar 2025 to 23 Feb 2028.

The next dhaiya (4th house) for Dhanu runs from 29 Mar 2025 to 23 Feb 2028, with Saturn stepping out of it from 3 Jun 2027 to 20 Oct 2027.

Counted from the Moon sign, as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 do. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown. Classically it is a time for steady effort and patience, not a fixed outcome.

A name rashi is the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra's syllable. Each fact is given in at least two classical texts, and where the texts differ both readings are shown. Left out: the element (tattva), which only one of the texts we read gives (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4); and any colour, number or stone for a rashi, which none of them ties to good fortune.

Questions

Dhanu Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Dhanu rashi?

Jupiter, the lord of Dhanu, is in Mesh on 11 Mar, the 5th house from Dhanu, until 1 May, 1:00 PM. Jupiter rules Dhanu in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Jupiter also rules Meen.

Which name letters (naam akshar) belong to Dhanu rashi?

On 11 Mar, the Moon is in Meen; its next stay in Dhanu runs from 31 Mar, 10:57 PM to 3 Apr, 4:37 AM: a child born in those hours has Dhanu as janma rashi. Dhanu's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are Ye, Yo, Bha, Bhi (Mula 1–4); Bhu, Dhā (धा), Pha, Ḍhā (ढा) (Purva Ashadha 1–4); Bhe (Uttara Ashadha 1). A name starting with one of them gives Dhanu as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Dhanu rashi?

On 11 Mar, the Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada; its next pass through Dhanu begins in Mula pada 1, from 31 Mar, 10:57 PM. Dhanu covers 240° to 270° of the sidereal zodiac: all four padas of Mula, all four padas of Purva Ashadha and Uttara Ashadha pada 1, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Dhanu, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Dhanu rashi people like?

They are described as good speakers, skilled in arts and crafts, strong and bold, and versed in dharma and the shastras; the texts give them a long face and a prominent neck. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.9, Saravali 23.58 and Hora Sara 29.9 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Dhanu and its lord Jupiter are all strong in the birth chart, and Hora Sara 29.13 that a graha joining or aspecting the Moon changes it, so your own kundli says more than the rashi alone.

When do Sade Sati and Shani dhaiya start and end for Dhanu rashi?

Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Dhanu on 11 Mar: Saturn is in Kumbh, the 3rd house from Dhanu. The next dhaiya (4th house) for Dhanu runs from 29 Mar 2025 to 23 Feb 2028, with Saturn stepping out of it from 3 Jun 2027 to 20 Oct 2027. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown, and is counted from the Moon sign as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 count it. Classically Sade Sati and dhaiya ask for steady effort and patience; neither is a fixed outcome.

When does the time change for Dhanu rashi?

Jupiter moves into Vrishabh on 1 May, 1:00 PM, the 6th house from Dhanu; Saturn moves into Meen on 29 Mar 2025, 9:45 PM, the 4th house from Dhanu; Rahu moves into Kumbh and Ketu into Singh on 30 May 2025, 12:18 AM, the 3rd and 9th houses from Dhanu (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 18 May 2025). Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Dhanu, and each change above names the house it brings. The daily reading on this page weighs all nine grahas together, and no rashi has a good or a poor time as a whole.

What is Dhanu rashi in English?

On 11 Mar, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Pisces 21°11′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Kumbh 26°59′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Dhanu is called Sagittarius in English, yet a rashi is the Moon's sign at birth in the sidereal zodiac, not the birthday sign, so someone whose birthday makes them Sagittarius need not have Dhanu rashi.

Felt most
The third of a sign in which a graha's transit is classically felt most: the Sun and Mars the first, Jupiter and Venus the middle, the Moon and Saturn the last (Phaladeepika 26.25; Muhurta Chintamani 4.19).
Mean-node reckoning
Rahu and Ketu by their average motion, which many almanacs print; its dates can differ from the true node by days.
Texts differ
The classical texts read this placement differently; we follow most of them and name the text that differs.

What supports
A graha in a house the texts count favourable, with nothing holding it back, or counted supportive by reverse vedha (Muhurta Chintamani 4.4).
Points that call for patience
Every other graha, each with the fact that puts it there: a house the texts do not count favourable, vedha, a debilitation or unfriendly sign, combustion, its own or exaltation sign in an unfavourable house, the Moon's company, or Chandrashtama.
House meaning
What each house stands for (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 11): 1 self and body, 2 family, wealth and speech, 3 courage and siblings, 4 mother, home and happiness, 5 children, education and intelligence, 6 health, work and competition, 7 marriage and partnership, 8 research and hidden matters, 9 fortune, dharma and father, 10 career and karma, 11 gains and friends, 12 expenses, foreign lands and moksha.
