Nature of Vishakha
Vishakha is the star of purpose: determined, ambitious and focused on a goal until it is reached. Its natives are energetic and capable of great achievement, and learn to balance drive with patience.
Its ruling planet Guru signifies wisdom, children, wealth and good fortune, and its dasha is the first one for people born with the Moon here.
