Marriage and Compatibility
Dhanishta belongs to the Rakshasa gana and Madhya nadi. In matching, a partner from the same nadi (Bharani, Mrigashira, Pushya and Purva Phalguni and others) creates Nadi dosha unless an exception applies. Rakshasa gana matches best with Rakshasa.
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.
