Vishakha Nakshatra
Determined and goal-fixed — patient strategists who win in the final lap. Vishakha is the 16th of the 27 nakshatras, ruled by Jupiter, with Indra-Agni as its deity and triumphal archway as its symbol.
The four padas
| Pada | Moon sign | Navamsa | Naming syllable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishakha pada 1 | Tula (Libra) | Mesha | Ti |
| Vishakha pada 2 | Tula (Libra) | Vrishabha | Tu |
| Vishakha pada 3 | Tula (Libra) | Mithuna | Te |
| Vishakha pada 4 | Vrishchika (Scorpio) | Karka | To |
Vishakha straddles two moon signs, so the pada — which needs the birth time — decides the rashi. Each pada is also one navamsa, the ninth-division sign astrologers read for marriage.
