About Vishakha Nakshatra

Vishakha, ruled by Jupiter and governed by Indra and Agni, is the star of purpose and triumph. It grants determination, goal-focus and the patient ambition to break through to victory.

Each nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac and is divided into four padas. The Moon's nakshatra at birth (your Janma Nakshatra) seeds the Vimshottari Dasha and the auspicious starting sound for naming.
