"The Vasus desired, "May we revolve around the summit of the Gods." One who makes the appropriate offering to the Vasus, to Dhanishta, gains the summit among his peers.
The Vasus rule over material and worldly splendors, which their Nakshatra grants. They gain through high association."
~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra

"This is a talkative and interesting person, particularly successful in lecturing and debating. She is capable of writing mystic novels and is good at story telling.
She will be happy in domestic life. She loves nice dresses, especially blue, pink, and purple, and likes curios and antiques."
-- Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 100.
