Nakshatras in Dhanu
Dhanu covers 240° to 270° of the sidereal zodiac -- nine nakshatra padas:
- ✦ Mula (padas 1, 2, 3, 4) — ruled by Ketu, deity Nirriti
- ✦ Purva Ashadha (padas 1, 2, 3, 4) — ruled by Venus, deity Apas (the waters)
- ✦ Uttara Ashadha (pada 1) — ruled by Sun, deity Vishvedevas
These are the general traits of the sign. Your own chart -- the Moon's nakshatra, house and aspects -- refines them; an astrologer reads the whole picture.
