(Moon Sign Based)
Dhanishta belongs to Capricorn and Aquarius zodiac signs. It is ruled by Mars. People belonging to this nakshatra are multi-talented and sometimes, musical prodigies. They are known as high-achievers amongst all constellations.
Dhanishta is presided by Ashta Vasu as their deity and is considered one of the luckiest constellations. It spans across 23.20 Capricorn to 06.40 degrees in Aquarius. This is because those born with this constellation achieve their dreams, especially professional, at a very early age. They might have thought of a huge career goal which they make a reality much easily than everyone else. Against the contemporary belief of being Mars ruled, these are people who would never get involved in a controversy or a situation which adds fuel to a negative situation. They stay away from conflicts, forget about evoking one.
They also are actually someone who would under no circumstances speak a single harsh word, be sarcastic or taunt anybody whether on their face or behind their back. These people do not forget when someone wrongs them and will wait years and ages to get their revenge. They stay away from arguments and do not indulge or enjoy arguing with anyone under any situation.

This is a risky connection. Often the relationships which are based off sex but terrible in reality is what this relationship is about. This can come off as borderline unacceptable behavior for both on an everyday basis making things tough, and not in the positive way. The sex, however, can be moderately good to good considering both Ashvini and Dhanishta love sex. This is a relationship which can trap you with delusional ideas of a future or through wrong steps taken during the relationship leading to a bad marriage.

Red flags all over, this is what a relationship of Bharani and Dhanishta can be like. Dhanishta is the worst sexual partner for Bharani.

Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 9/36, which is 25%.
Dhanishtha likes to be in control and the one to chase & seduce openly and that works fine with Krittika as they are diffident or shy about their sensuality. They can have opinions regarding power and control in the relationship as they do not wish to be dominated. This is a good relationship.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 23/36, which is 50%.
Dhanishta wants nothing to do with commitment unless it has materialism involved. They are not going to commit for the sake of romance or love. Rohini will obviously feel hurt or disregarded due to this. Dhanishta wants to live a luxurious life but when Rohini says the same thing, Dhanishta starts judging them for it. Rohini doesn’t know what to make of a person who says something and thinks something else. Lots of mixed signals and low on understanding or love.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 20/36, which is 55%.
Dhanishtha might not respect Mrigashira’s sensitivity or their need for intellectual ascension. Dhanishtha doesn’t understand the whole point of running after intellect or wisdom or even an education when you can just lavish around if you get the opportunity. This will obviously create disturbance as one loves educating themselves and other doesn’t see a point in that. Doesn’t work.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 15/36, which is an 42%.
Immense lack of trust lies in the relationship of Dhanishta and Ardra.

This leads to a very tiring and disturbing relationship.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 18/36, which is an 50%.
Friendship is an important ingredient in any relationship, the openness to have conversations and candid, genuine ones. When Punarvasu and Dhanistha get together in a romantic relationship, Dhanistha starts expecting too much and Punarvasu believes in letting time work its wonder. There can be a fallout if Dhanishtha does not remember the friendship part and overloads Punarvasu with expectations beyond a sane level. Try to be more accommodating.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 16/36, which is an 46%.
Pushya belongs to ‘sheep yoni’ and Dhanishta belongs to ‘lion yoni’. This is completely an incompatible union from Moon sign and yoni aspect. Pushya doesn’t like the dominance and borderline narcissism of Dhanishtha and doesn’t feel comfortable in their presence either.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 10/36, which is a 28%.
Ashlesha likes Dhanishta for their strength, protectiveness and unconventional outlook. They can wish for a long-term with them, the only issue here is that Ashlesha should try to not be detached as Dhanishta needs assurance of emotions in a relationship.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 22/36, which is a 60%.
Very less compatibility and even lesser faithfulness brews in this relationship. Dhanishtha is a lion and Magha is a rat. There is no power play just dominance of the first on the other. Dhanishtha feels no interest in making any efforts towards Magha and Magha can return the favor by being sexually involved with others, which Dhanistha is least bothered about, including Magha’s existence.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 20/36, which is a 55%.

Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta can be good friends but pathetic lovers. Dhanishta loves to fight, and Uttara Phalguni has no issues with confrontation.

The perfect recipe for a fall out.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 12/36, which is a 29%.
Hasta, very clearly needs emotional support in love due to so many fears they have within them. Dhanishta cannot provide emotional strength or connection to Hasta.

Hasta loves Dhanishta’s strength, but what’s the point if Dhanishta can’t even emotionally support Hasta with it?-something they need the most.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 18/36, which is a 50%.
There’s a level of immaturity in this relationship as both Chitra and Dhanishta try to have the last word in a fight. Does that really matter who wins if you lose the relationship?-Just asking.

Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 18/36, which is a 50%.
No one likes an underconfident partner, and no one likes an arrogant partner either. Both are signs of insecurity.

With Dhanishta, Swati wishes they could have at least spiritually be where Dhanishtha are, but Swati can’t, if they are always so insecure. Besides, Dhanishtha would like you to be self-assured and comfortable with who you are.

The romantic association of a Dhanishta and Purva Ashada is that of Mars-Venus. This type of relationship is characterized by a strong sexual attraction which dies out soon after. The relationship doesn’t have anything as such and sometimes, one may wonder why were they even attracted to such a person especially in times of arguments. Purva Ashada might believe that they liked Dhanishta due to their kind personality but later, only arrogance and rude behavior is seen making them accuse Dhanishta that they attracted them by a pretense.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 9/36, which is a 26%.

The relationship between Dhanishta and Shravana can work as they gel well together. They are both emotionally compatible and feel fulfilled, however, Shravana should know that a Dhanishta’s inner turmoil are for them to sort, and one can only do so much and not beyond. Let them fight this battle and do not meddle in it trying to sort it for them. We’re all on our own journeys even if we’re together and that should be respected by conforming to healthy boundaries.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 21/36, which is a 61%

Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 23/36, which is a 63%
The relationship between Shatabhisha and Dhanishtha is a comfortable one as long as it works. They both like each other’s presence and can work well together, and Dhanishtha doesn’t mind Shatabhisha’s need for space. However, if Shatabhisha hurts Dhanishtha, they will hurt them back and profusely. The relationship works on a give & take format and the other receives on the same level as they give. This isn’t a selfless love, but a workable one.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 28/36, which is a 77%
Sex binds Purva Bhadrapada and Dhanishta together. Whenever Dhanishta feels they’re not getting the respect they expect out of Purva Bhadrapada, they will fight with them until they get it. Whatever rules apply to one also applies on the other. Another give & take relationship, where you get as much as you give and nothing less or more.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 22/36, which is a 58%
Uttara Bhadrapada, doesn’t care about Dhanishtha’s existence and there is nothing a Dhanishtha can do about it. Uttara Bhadrapada are self-assured people don’t care about anyone trying to show dominance or control in any way, shape or form and therefore, it doesn’t work. Uttara Bhadrapada is happy in their own world unless anybody adds any real value to their life, which is something Dhanishta doesn’t understand. Therefore, this is their worst relationship.

Revati and Dhanishtha both love sex. But there is one difference, Revati requires themselves to be respected and honored in a relationship to come to the point of being sexually involved with anyone. Revati can be indulgent in sex with only one partner, which means they are not frivolous, making this relationship go South in no time. Dhanishta, the one who likes to be in control and put on a pedestal doesn’t comply with giving the same level of supremacy to Revati. Revati doesn’t associate with people who don’t respect them, in general. This is another of their worst relationship.
