In this YouTube short, the speaker notes that on Saturday, May 9 the Moon will remain in Capricorn for the entire day, placing it in the Dhanishta nakshatra. Dhanishta, symbolized by a drum, is associated with timing, rhythm, intuition, wealth, and the ability to act on inner impulses. The nakshatra is ruled by Mars, which the speaker highlights as giving the day extra strength for getting work done and following gut feelings. Listeners are encouraged to heed spontaneous urges—such as a sudden desire to go to a coffee shop—as these are expressions of Dhanishta’s intuitive guidance, especially in the Capricorn context of business and progress.

Saturday, May 9th, and the moon will be in Capricorn most of the day. It actually stays in Capricorn, so throughout the day it will be all the way to the end of Capricorn. It will definitely be in Capricorn the whole day of May 9th, but it is in the nakshatra Dhanishta, and Dhanishta deals with— it's a drum, its symbol is a hollowed-out instrument, but it deals with timing, deals with rhythm. If you you get an inkling to go somewhere, don't discount it. Do it, because that's what Dhanishta is all about. If you think, well, I think I want to go to the coffee shop right now, go. Maybe you're going to meet somebody. It's your inner voice directing you, your intuition. Listen, go. Dhanishta is that nakshatra. Did you know Dhanishta is actually called the richest one? Can deal with wealth and understanding. And of course, you know, it's in Capricorn. Capricorn is the sign of business, work, getting ahead in the world. Dhanishta is ruled by Mars, so this is a really strong day for getting work done, listening to your gut, following through on things. Listen to that inner voice.
