What tradition holds

Tradition holds that people with the Moon in Dhanishtha carry energy and a rhythm of their own. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: balanced thinking, courtesy, a gift for bringing people together, and a feel for art and beauty. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
