The years ahead for Sagittarius
Nature
Dhanusu is a dual fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the great teacher. People with the Moon in Dhanusu tend to be optimistic, principled and freedom-loving, with a hunger for meaning, travel, learning and a bigger view of life.
Their strength is faith and generosity of spirit. The lesson is follow-through and tact, matching big ideals with patient action, and remembering that blunt truth lands better with kindness.
In love
In love Dhanusu wants a companion for the journey: honest, open-minded and up for adventure. Shared beliefs and room to grow matter a great deal to them.
At work
Dhanusu does well in teaching, law, religion and philosophy, publishing, travel, sport and international work, wherever wisdom and wide horizons count.
