Yajna Vidya, Mahavidya, Guhya Vidya, Vibhavari.
There are the mysterious lines from the thousand names of Lakshmi Sastranama, the Goddess of Wealth,
which is all about knowledge as the means of wealth, as the means of attaining wealth.
Why are we speaking about that?
We come to the 23rd Nakshatra out of the 27.
Dhanishtha Nakshatra, which falls in two halves.
First two of the padas fall in Capricorn, the next two fall in Aquarius.
Now we are going from Capricorn to Aquarius in this Nakshatra.
The Dharma and Artha fall in Capricorn while Kama and Moksha fall in Aquarius.
So these people by default, already we can see they become very versatile.
Just like Chitra Nakshatra did, which again fell half in either side of the science, were going Libra.
So, Dhanishtha Nakshatra falls between 23 degrees, 20 minutes of Capricorn and moves up till 6 degrees, 40 minutes of Aquarius.
Aquarius, Aquarius.
So, the Navamsa goes from Leo to Scorpio and here we are talking about life lessons and themes of Nakshatras.
This is just the beginning point.
There is a lot more to this story and we will see that in the coming series.
Never mind.
So, the nature of Dhanishtha is movable.
Again, nature wherever Nakshatras are movable, they are very dynamic in nature.
They can have lots of facets, they can move a lot between energies.
That's the nature of movable Nakshatras.
The Gana is Rakshasa.
Therefore, they become more about materialistic gain, the gain on this plane called Earth and everything upon it.
The deity is eight Vasus of abundance.
That's why the name Dhanishtha, it's all about wealth.
Doesn't mean these people will be wealthy in the wealth sense of things.
Doesn't mean stock exchange or Waltz Street.
That's just such a narrow concept of wealth.
The entire earth is wealth.
Your body is wealth.
Your family, your spouse, your kids, your brothers, sisters, your friends, your family are your wealth.
But nobody sees it that way, do they?
You need to change your idea about what wealth is.
I digress.
So, energy.
What energy does Dhanishtha Nakshatras provide these natives?
People with personal planets and points in Dhanishtha.
The energy is of fame and wealth themes.
Because it's Rakshasa Gana and because it's movable and because it stands for wealth, they want to gain wealth.
They may gain wealth.
It's connected to music, dance and sports.
That's why the symbol of the drums and the flute there.
It'll help if these guys keep some kind of musical instrument like a drum or a flute in the house.
Okay.
Back to, yeah.
So, they love music, dance and sports.
They are social birds.
Capricorn and Aquarius, especially the next two padhas.
The Kama and Moksha Padha are in Aquarius.
They are social birds.
They love exploration.
They love traveling.
They are multi-dimensional in nature.
Here's the funny thing about these guys.
They have many facets to their personality.
This doesn't mean split personality.
In that context, all of us split personalities because we are different people to different people.
Just ask.
So, flexibility and hard working is another one of this Nakshatra themes.
They have a very versatile nature.
Like I said, very multi-dimensional in nature.
They can be interested in a dozen things because again, it's a movable sign.
So, they are very versatile.
They are achievers, go-getters in Padha 1, going into Leo.
Communicators could be in Padha 2 because Capricorn goes into Virgo, which is good at communication.
Good in relationships could be in Padha 3 because it's Aquarius going into Libra.
Both are about other people.
So, they are good in relationships.
Very action-oriented in Padha 4, which is Aquarius going into Scorpio.
The life lesson finally for this Nakshatra becomes find the right kind of resources to
make true wealth happen for you.
True wealth in this context, we are talking about beauty, wealth, talents, etc.
That's your material.
Your raw material can be in many forms, isn't it?
It can be your talents.
It can be your ability.
It can be how much money you have in the bank account to invest in a business or maybe learn
some piece of music.
Again, it comes down to talents.
Are you a beautiful person?
Beautiful as in physically, I mean here.
Can you go model?
Can you do acting?
Can you be in film and media and so on and so forth?
Because this is a very versatile Nakshatra, they can choose to do n number of things and
participate.
That's the energy of Dhanishta.
The mantra, Lakshmi Sahasranama, the thousand names of Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth,
could tune you into what exactly you are here to do.
What could be that thing which you can focus on?
If you don't want to go through the long drawn process of astrology, you can straightaway
start listening to Lakshmi Sahasranama.
It'll help you.
The ages that this Nakshatra is active is 27, 36, 40, 45 and 39.
That's active but as you can see it is active in the prime ages of a person's life.
Which means if the houses which are active at that particular age in your chart and if
Dhanishta is prominent, personal planets, Mercury, Moon, Mars, Venus, etc., this will
be active in those particular years.
Next we shall be doing Shatabhisha Nakshatra.
Take care.
