The Mechanics of Libra Navamsa
Saturn in Dhanishta Pada 3 marks the transition from Capricorn into Aquarius. This is an incredibly powerful and auspicious placement. Saturn is in its Moolatrikona sign (Aquarius) and is exalted in the Navamsa (Libra). Dhanishta is the star of rhythm and the drum. In the airy signs of Aquarius and Libra, this 'rhythm' becomes social and intellectual. This native is 'the charming conductor.' They do not force people to work (like Capricorn); they orchestrate massive groups of people (Aquarius) with flawless diplomacy and charm (Libra). They understand the 'rhythm' of society and use it to build massive networks and wealth.
