Mars in Dhanishtha ~ Find good rhythm and energy

Mars, planet of energy and action, is in Dhanishta from March 6th to 24th 2024, across the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius.

This is the nakshatra where Mars’s is at its strongest, and finds you with special stamina and leadership potential, and you summon all these qualities to impress by knowing exactly what you want.

A touch of heroism gives you a great start, and decisiveness and bravery inspires people to follow you. Dhanishtha’s Shakti, or special gift, is to Bestow Wealth and Fame, and your courage and energy combine to create an opening with a view to financial reward.

Dhanishta is ruled by the Ashta (eight) Vasus, the auspicious wealth-givers in Vedic mythology, which gives you more promise of prosperity when you follow the right path. Such potential brings many desires, and you have a decision where to focus and which roads are most worthwhile and rewarding.

This nakshatra is also famed for its association with music, and its symbol The Drum gives you a percussive rhythm which suits Mars’s urgent style. You can use this signature for dance, exercise or any activity which needs a strong beat – this is good fun and gives you an excellent workout.

Mars joins Saturn, planet of karma, by March 16th when it pays to take a smart, professional approach to your work. Any task may only come together slowly at this point, with initial obstacles and frustration, but you learn a lot by seeing your business through to the end.
