Dhanishta

Mythology

Dhanishta "the wealthy." Its deities the Eight Vasus: gods of earth, water, fire, air, ether, moon, sun, star — each an element. Drum or flute symbol: rhythm and melody, the pulse of the universe. Mars rules — action and vitality.

Astrological reading

Moon in Dhanishta is rhythm-bound — musician, dancer, choreographer, or someone who runs orderly operations. Leader within a group. Risk: defining self only through the group, can't be alone; or making material success the only measure.
