VishakhaLibra 20°–Scorpio 3°20′

What Vishakha means in Vedic astrology

Vishakha is the 16th of the 27 Nakshatra — the lunar mansions that divide the sidereal zodiac into finer bands than the twelve Rāsi. It spans Libra 20°–Scorpio 3°20′, is ruled by Jupiter, and is presided over by the deity Indra-Agni.

Its symbol is the triumphal arch, and it belongs to the Rakshasa gana. Your Nakshatra is determined by the exact degree of the Moon at your birth, which makes it far more specific than your moon sign alone — and it is what drives your Vimshottari Dasha, the timing system at the heart of Jyotish prediction.
