In anisotropic turbulence the correlation functions are decomposed in the irreducible representations of the SO(3) symmetry group (with different "angular momenta" $\ell$). For different values of $\ell$ the second order correlation function is characterized by different scaling exponents $\zeta_2(\ell)$. In this paper we compute these scaling exponents in a Direct Interaction Approximation (DIA). By linearizing the DIA equations in small anisotropy we set up a linear operator and find its zero-modes in the inertial interval of scales. Thus the scaling exponents in each $\ell$-sector follow from solvability condition, and are not determined by dimensional analysis. The main result of our calculation is that the scaling exponents $\zeta_2(\ell)$ form a strictly increasing spectrum at least until $\ell=6$, guaranteeing that the effects of anisotropy decay as power laws when the scale of observation diminishes. The results of our calculations are compared to available experiments and simulations.
