"22-Sravana and 23-Sravistha (Dhanishta)
are a pair, even though they are not called purva-uttara like the other
nakshatra pairs."
~~Valerie Roebuck, Circle
, p. 100
"The drum in mind is like an Indian tabla,
which can be tuned to a particular note."
~~Valerie Roebuck, Circle
, p. 100
"The Vasus desired, "May we
revolve around the summit of the Gods." One who makes the appropriate
offering to the Vasus, to Dhanishta, gains the summit among his peers.
The Vasus rule over material and worldly splendors, which their Nakshatra
grants. They gain through high association."

Dhanishtha, for
females:
"This is a talkative and interesting
person, particularly successful in lecturing and debating. She is capable of
writing mystic novels and is good at story telling.
She will be happy in domestic life. She
loves nice dresses, especially blue, pink, and purple, and likes curios and
antiques."

Dhanishtha, for
males:
"Two entirely different types are
born with Dhanishtha rising. It depends on the part of this asterism, which
lies on the Rising Point, as to which type predominates.
The key notes of
both are optimism and ambition. They both have thick necks and heavy thighs.
But there the similarity stops. (see later padaa descriptions)."

General

Das:
"Normally, you have a lean body with lengthy figure. In exceptional cases you may have a stout figure. You will be expert in all work you undertake. You have an extremely intelligent mind
& all around knowledge. You do not like to cause any trouble to others. It has been seen that you have a religious spirit. You always like to live by your own caliber
& effort. You dislike to express disagreement with others until the last moment.
Most of us are probably aware of the elephant's
revenge. That is, if any person or any animal cause trouble to the elephant, the elephant waits for an opportunity to
pounce on them. In the same way, you wait for an opportunity to pounce on others with whom you have a score to settle.
Most scientists & historians are born in Dhanishta. Since there is an inherent talent of keeping
secrets, you are quite suitable for secret service, private secretaries to senior executives. Whatever may be your academic background, your intelligence is beyond question. In argument you are much ahead of others.
Lawyers profession is excellent for you. "
"From the 24th year onward will show progress in the earning field. Since you will be engaged in the profession or trade where you have to trust others, you should be very careful before putting trust in others. In the family circle you will be the uppermost administrator.
Your relatives will cause a lot of embarrassment
& problems. You are more inclined to brothers & sisters.
You will have ample inherited property subject to the placement of planets in beneficial position. You cannot have much benefit from in-laws. But this drawback will be nullified due to the presence of the good qualities of your spouse. Any improvement in the financial field will be only after marriage. "
"Your health may not be so good. Even then you will not think about your own health. It is only when the illness reaches the peak you start finding a remedy. Slightest improvement out of the severest disease will drag you to the work field.
You are prone to coughs, anemia etc. However,
you will not be in a prolonged state of illness." |
