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.
