What Sun in Dhanishta nakshatra means
The eight Vasus preside over Dhanishta, the drum and the flute, ruled by Mars. Two padas lie in Capricorn and two in Aquarius, so the Sun passes from one of Saturn's signs to the other at Kumbha Sankranti. Mars is the Sun's friend and Saturn is its enemy. The nakshatra lord is a friend and the sign lords are not.
The Vasus are wealth, and for about two weeks the Sun's significations turn to the treasury, to pay and pension, and to public works. A father's money or a father's music comes up. Dhanishta is chara, and it favours movement, group work, music and any activity with a beat: drill, rhythm, a schedule kept by many.
Of Saturn's two signs, Aquarius gives the Sun the least ease, since it is Saturn's mulatrikona. Authority becomes one voice in an assembly. The Sun that keeps time with the others is followed.
In the Capricorn padas, Scorpio, Leo, Aries and Pisces Moons hold the favourable houses. In the Aquarius padas, Sagittarius, Virgo, Taurus and Aries Moons take the third, sixth, tenth and eleventh. Capricorn and then Aquarius Moons carry the Sun in the first, and the twelfth passes from Aquarius to Pisces. Read the lagna the same way.
Dhanishta shows how the person keeps time with others. Mars in the nakshatra gives the drive, and Saturn in the sign decides whether it is welcome. Water to the rising Sun, Om Suryaya Namah, and copper given on Sunday. For the Vasus, give to a fund that serves many, and keep a fixed hour for practice through the stay.
