Vishakha

Vishakha, the 16th of the 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions), running from 20°00' Tula (Libra) to 3°20' Vrishchika (Scorpio) in the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the triumphal arch. Its presiding deity is Indra-Agni, power and fire joined, bringing focused, goal-driven ambition. Its ruling planet is Jupiter, so someone born with the Moon here begins life in Jupiter's dasha (planetary period). Its themes are purpose, determination, goals. Classically it is a mixed (misra) nakshatra, both at once, and the tradition reads it as neither good nor bad on its own.
