What this sign is

Sagittarius (धनु) is the 9th sign of the zodiac, ruled by Jupiter. It is a fire sign and a dual (dvisvabhava) one — which together say most of what there is to say about how it behaves.

Being a fire sign, Sagittarius acts first and thinks after — quick, warm, impatient with delay. Being dual (dvisvabhava), it adapts — works in two directions at once, which is both its gift and its difficulty. Its ruler Jupiter adds its own colour on top of that, and in a real chart the ruler's position decides how much of this actually shows.

Ruler: Jupiter
Element: Fire
Modality: dual (dvisvabhava)

One thing worth knowing before you read any of this: in Vedic astrology your rashi is where the MOON stood when you were born, not the sun-sign the date ranges give. The Moon crosses a sign in about two and a quarter days, so the date table is right by luck rather than by rule — most people reading a column have been reading the wrong one.

This is the sign, not your chart

A rashifal is written for a twelfth of the world at once. Your own chart is cast from your date, exact time and place — and it says something no sign column can.
