As the meaning of "dhanishtha" implies, the natives born in this Nakshatra are either inheritors of great wealth, or accumulate it during the course of their lifetime. The symbol of this constellation is musical instruments. Accordingly, one can rightly decipher the musical inclination of Dhanishtha people. The subjects are natural leaders as well. This Nakshatra also provides many of them with fame or atleast a good reputation. Ironically enough, endowed with so much of prosperity, a usual native do have to face some marital problem or other in their lives.
