About this pada

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: determination, deep insight, being trusted with confidences, and staying the course through hard times. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
