Dhanishtha
Drum / flute
Dhanishtha means "the wealthiest" — its drum symbol speaks to rhythm, timing, and the co-ordination of collective effort. Mars's drive under the auspices of the eight Vasus (elemental abundance) gives its natives a striking capacity to accumulate resources, lead groups, and create music or systems of lasting value.
