Dhanishtha and Saturn: The Astrology of Bussdown Culture


Dhanishtha is that Nakshatra that runs 23.20° Capricorn -6.40° Aquarius. This Nakshatra is represented by the Asta Vasus, which are the elements of Nature. Their name means “Brilliance” and “Wealth Givers” when we consider the word Vasu. They’re children of Aditi, ruler of the Past and Future (what I consider time), Sky, etc. This Nakshatra is also time oriented due to the drum as a measure of time when you think about it. Cred to someone who helped me back on Twitter come to this conclusion, I unfortunately cannot find who. Also Shiva dances to this drum. Dancing is usually done in counts because this action is a rhythm. This drum is also a representation of the Damaru, which is the spiritual sounds that are created when this universe was created. This Nakshatra is represented by the 8 Vasus, which are representations of each fundamental element. What is cool about this is 8 is Capricorn/Saturn ruled!

I want to talk about how Saturn/Capricorn/Aquarius rules over time. I noticed most popular watches are Swiss owned. Switzerland has an Aquarius Moon. This also makes sense as to why Astro.com is a popular Swiss owned Astrology Website. Astrology charts are merely data keepers of time.

Let’s talk about the founders of luxury watches also having Saturn placements/Dhanishta:

Richard Mille- Dhanishtha Sun, Aqua Mars, Cap Mercury

Antoni Patek- Shatabhisha Ketu

Hans Wilsdorf (Rolex) - Dhanishtha Mars, Aqua Mercury

Watches are important in Hip Hop culture. It also complimentary value to a Rahuvian based genre and rappers. Some of these watch creators have Rahu (Satabhisha/Swati) Nakshatras so it explains the bussdown watch appeal. We must remember that Rahu creates the illusion. So remember the original intent was already to calculate time, which already isn’t real. Add bling to it? You got Rahu doubling down on the energy. Just some food for thought.

This is all I have so far. I may keep this one short because this article is specifically about watches! Hope you enjoyed this quick read!
