Career and Nature
Ruled by Mars, Dhanishta natives often do well in engineering, police, defence, surgery, sports and real estate. The deity the eight Vasus and the symbol of a drum add their own flavour to the work style.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Dhanishta starts life in the Mars Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
