XXIII · Drums of Abundance

Drums of Abundance

Gets the party going when the mood drops

Dhanishta · धनिष्ठा

The name itself means "wealthiest." You take on the role of setting the rhythm in a group, and people and money attach to that rhythm together.

Mythology and origins

Dhanishta is ruled by the Ashta Vasus, the eight gods of the elements — earth, water, fire, wind, sky, sun, moon, and stars — held to bring abundance and prosperity.

It spans the end of Capricorn to the start of Aquarius, near the constellation Delphinus. Dhanishta means "the wealthiest," and its symbol is a drum, linked to the damaru Shiva beats as he dances.

So the star is read as the one who sets the rhythm in a group, with people and money following that rhythm together — linked to music, rhythm, and running an organization.
