The Star of Purpose - Symbol of Determination and Achievement
About Vishakha Nakshatra
Vishakha Nakshatra, the 16th lunar mansion, represents determination, focus, and achievement. Ruled by Jupiter and influenced by both Indra (King of Gods) and Agni (Fire God), it symbolizes power, transformation, and the drive to succeed. The triumphal arch represents victory and achievement.
People born under Vishakha are goal-oriented, ambitious, and possess strong willpower. They have the ability to overcome obstacles and achieve their objectives through persistent effort. This Nakshatra bridges Libra and Scorpio, combining social grace with intense determination.
