Dhanistha is the 23nd Nakshatra occupying 23 degrees 20 minutes Capricorn to 6 degrees 40 minutes Aquarius. Dhanistha is ruled by Mars. Here's what it represents:
Earth (Dhara), water (Apah), fire (Anala/Agni), wind (Anila/Vayu), sky (Prabhasha/Akasha), Sun at day-break (Pratyusha), Soma (Moon), and the fixed star (Dhruva) are the Vasus. Agni is their leader. They fashioned the Earth for the humans. Vasu translates to an abundance of riches and therefore the Vasus bless the native with imperishable prosperity, earthly treasures, and worldwide fame. The native would be wealthy, rich, famous, and most renowned. The Vasus are also known for their kindness and so the native would be magnanimous, generous, philanthropic, and compassionate too. The stars of the Dhanistha are shaped like a diamond, which is another indication of wealth and fame associated with this Nakshatra. Another symbol of this nakshatra is a drum (musical instrument). The native would have great a sense of rhythm and timing. The native would be adept at music, sports, and fine arts. The native may even understand the rhythm of the Universe, which is symbolic of the native’s interest in astrology, aeronautics, or spirituality. It is a moveable (Chara) nakshatra and so the native would be fond of foreign travel and may find success overseas. Mars is is the ruler of this Nakshatara and is exalted here too. So, Mars’ unparalleled technical expertise, piercing logic, innovative and original work, courage-till-the-last-breath attitude, and its sovereignty over land and property is experienced in this Nakshatra. The native could be known for his/her heroics but there might be an overemphasis on fame. It depends on the overall birth chart.
