ABOUT DHANISHTA
Dhanishta is the twenty-third of the 27 Nakshatras. It runs from 23°20′ Capricorn (Makara) to 6°40′ Aquarius (Kumbha) and is ruled by Mars. Its presiding deity is the Ashtavasus, the eight Vasus, who give wealth, precious stones, valuable articles, gold and opulence.
Dhanishta means riches (dhana) and sound (dhvani). It is also known as Shravishta, which means famous in Sanskrit. Its symbol is the drum: this is the star of symphony, and its natives love music. Its power is Khyapayitri Shakti, the power to give abundance and fame.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Those with the Moon in Dhanishta are wealthy, optimistic, heroic, charitable, peaceful and free of pride. They are ambitious, competitive, dominating and productive. They achieve much acclaim in whatever work they take up, and are extremely intelligent with all-round knowledge. They are gentle and dislike causing trouble to others, and prefer to live by their own effort.
The influence of Saturn gives perseverance, discipline and a goal-oriented approach, which they use to climb the ladder of success in business, trade and diplomacy.
STRENGTHS
They have good leadership and strategic planning skills and become good entrepreneurs and managers. They are adaptable and flexible and enjoy social group activities. They are humanitarian, generous and well respected in society.
Kind hearted and sensitive, they protect their friends and family. They dislike conflict, though if they are hurt they hold a grudge until the other person seeks reconciliation.
CHALLENGES
On the negative side, they can be egoistic, adamant and stubborn, and they never yield to pressure. Because of this stubbornness, married life can be disturbed by frequent arguments and disputes.
CAREER
The strong influence of Mars gives confidence and bravery, so careers in the army, police and similar services suit Dhanishta natives. Business, trade, management, diplomacy and music also suit them.
HEALTH
Those with the Moon in Dhanishta may be prone to cough, cold and anaemia.
REMEDY FOR DHANISHTA NATIVES
Regular prayers to Goddess Durga on her lion bring highly beneficial results to those with the Moon in Dhanishta. You can also worship the eight Vasus.
