Zodiac Span
Vishakha is the 16th nakshatra, spanning 20°00' Libra – 3°20' Scorpio. Its symbol is the triumphal arch, its presiding deity Indra-Agni, and its Vimshottari lord Jupiter. The forked path: single-minded ambition that ripens late and fully.
People born with the Moon in Vishakha begin life in a Jupiter mahadasha, which colours the opening chapter of their story. The gana is Rakshasa, which matters in traditional match-making.

Your janma nakshatra is fixed by the Moon's exact position at your birth minute — a birth time even 20 minutes off can shift the pada. JYTS.H computes it from Swiss Ephemeris data and reads your full chart, dasha timeline, and daily sky against it.
