Qualities of Vishakha: 

Trimurti: Brahma/Creative Gotra/Clan: Sage Vashishtha Gana/Tribe: Rakshasa Varna/Caste: Mleccha Motivation/Goal: Dharma Nature: Mixed – Sharp & Soft Activity: Active Place: Cotton Field Body parts: Arms, breast.

Guna: Sattvic Element: Fire Dosha: Kapha Sex/Gender: Female Downward Facing Direction: East Colour: Golden Animal: Male Tiger Tree: Elephant apple

Brahma / Creative energy: A creative energy that brings something new and fresh into the world.

Rakshasa: They hail from the clan of Rakshasa. Outcaste demon tribals who come down from the mountain and cause trouble. They don’t know the way and they don’t really care since they also have their own ways. And there usually is something pure about them; purification by fire, since this is still a sattvic nakshatra motivated by dharma.

Mleccha: Outcaste, all-castes, mixing, misfits of society. They like the subterranean world. The underground themes and places. They tend to feel like the outsider of any community of home they are in. They either inflict or remove poison and in either case, it’s time to move on afterwards. They are capable of mixing with any case that will help them achieve their goals.

Dharma: focused on following dharma; reaching for one’s own highest spiritual potential. Planets which support dharma will support a person on their soul path to the highest order. Dharma positions seek to rise up, expand and illuminate their righteous actions. Planets belonging to the other castes will result in a mix of the castes. The energy of the planet in a dharma position will also help one find their purpose in life.

Misra – Mixed: Wednesdays. Krittika is the only other Mixed Nakshatra. They are a mix of sharp and soft. Multitasking is common for these folk. They like to be in high stress positions with a lot of critical information coming moment by moment. Vishakha will often have two very different things going on at once. They think on their feet, take charge and take care of business. They like to mix things up to keep themselves sharp. They might literally or metaphorically “play with fire” or electricity. And Vishakha likes to mixe

Sattvic: Tendency towards purity, harmony, truthfulness, sincerity, peacefulness. They tend to have a positive attitude and seek constructive dialogue. The activity of planets in this asterism act as an instrument of the divine.Their inspiration ultimately comes from the soul. They usually recognise that purity needs to be achieved within ourselves which somehow sets them up for a struggle between the ideal and the reality.

Fire: rises up, expands, illuminates, transformers burns, cooks, assimilates. Fire & Air are cooperative. Earth & Water are cooperative. Space cooperates with all. Earth does not cooperate with Fire and impedes Air. Water does not cooperate with Air and impedes Fire.

Kapha: Water & Earth elements. Cool, oily, heavy, stable, slow, soft, gross, sticky/cloudy, smooth. Stable, slow, methodical, greedy. Disturbed by sweet (Jupiter), salty (Moon), sour (Venus). Pacified by pungent (Sun) and astringent (Saturn).

Active: Planets here will actively pursue their interests. Active planets like Mars and Sun will have their activity enhanced. If afflicted here it can make a person very aggressive and angry.  More passive planets will struggle in an active field a little bit like. The Moon here can make an active mind, but we need active and alert minds to nourish and protect the weak. Saturn is slow and bureaucratic, systematic, but does well on the libra part of Vishakha.

Female: Imparts some female characteristics to planets sitting here.

Adho-Mukha – Downward Facing: Relates with research, containment, underground activity, digging wells or mines, drilling for oil, digging up the garden or other trenching activities. It may also relate with shame, pessimism or low self worth that causes you to keep your eyes cast downward. Bharani, Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Vishakha, Mula, Purva Ashadha, and Purva Bhadra. Planets like Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu share this nature.

East: Movement east of your home becomes likely in the periods of planets placed here.

Sage Vashishta

He and his wife Arundhati are an example of the closeness, intimacy and blessing that marriage brings into a couples life. Her star, Alcor, is the 7th sister who stays in the handle of the Big Dipper with her husband (a star called Mizar) instead of with her six sisters in Pleiades (the Vedic seers only recognised 6 stars in Pleiades). The star Mizar is sometimes worshiped by married women in thanks for the blessings of married life. The seven sons of Vashishta and Arundhati all became great sages themselves. Vashishta was the keeper of the wish fulfilling cow, Kamadhenu.

One of his main teachings was that we must overcome our prejudice, bigotry and stereotypes and seek to work in cooperation and harmony with our rivals. but they only become successful once they learn this important lesson. He believed there was a common spiritual core between even the worst rivals.

Sage Parashara was one of his sons, suggesting this lineage has something to do with astrology.  Vashistha Samhita is about electional astrology which is used to select favourable timing for events such as marriage or war. Vashistha typically highlights the importance of the means we use to achieve our desired outcome.

Some of his hymns in the Rig Veda discuss family life, and much emphasis is put on his hymns extolling Indra & Varuna on equal terms. The power of Indra was needed to destroy enemies and Varuna was there to uphold social & ethical norms of society.

Vashistha also has a famous section in the Ramayana where he answers Rama’s questions about nature of life, human suffering, free will, creativity, & spiritual liberation. He is considered the Adi Guru of Vedanta Philosophy. He taught that the powers of the deities arose from within ourselves and that our fate was not determined by external gods. We must make an effort to live in harmony with nature and with others. He was devoted to righteous action and worked for the welfare of the world.

He was involved in a famous feud with a king who wanted to steal Kamadenu but he warded off all attacks by the king and his men. In a final attempt to  get the cow, Vishwamitra did severe penance; however, by the end of his tapas he decided to reconcile with the sage. Vashistha teaches us to defend nature and many of those who are descendants of Vashistha find various ways to act as custodians of nature.

Male Tiger

Male Tigers reach sexual maturity around 4 – 5 years of age. The Female is typically receptive for 3 -6 days even 3 – 9 weeks. Although the female can get pregnant throughout the years. Most mating behaviour is seen in the cool months November – April. The female will advertise their readiness through vocalisation and a distinctive scent in her urine. They typically begin courtship by circling each other and vocalisation. Copulation is typically brief, but repeated many times in four or five days. Males and females will have several mates over their lifetime. Cubs remain with the mother for 17 – 24 months. The male will occasionally associate with mother and cubs. Females typically have a fairly well defined territory while the males will typically overlap their territory with a couple of females (but will not usually encroach on another males territory. The male will seek to defend the female. He will also share his kill with a female and will wait for her to finish eating from her own kill before he takes his share.

Compatibility: Anuradha, Jyeshta, Mula, Shravana.

Wood Apple – Kaitha – Elephant Apple – Limonia Acidissima

Wood Apple is found in India, Sri Lanka & Thailand. It has a hard shell and smells like a combination of blue cheese and over-ripe bananas. Inside is a dark brown pulp with seeds. Its sour flavour is good for pickles and jams.

Wood Apple is an excellent summer fruit with medicinal properties for combating Sun stroke and other heat related health issues. Tannis and phenolic properties enriched with antioxidants make it useful for piles, ulcers, and other stomach or digestive problems such as dysentery and diarrhoea. Riboflavin and thiamine detoxify the body, cleansing the kidneys and keeping the gut healthy. It has expectorant properties that are helpful for respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis and sore throat. Wood Apple is high in vitamin C and has immunity enhancing properties to keep viral, fungal and bacterial infections at bay. Laxative properties and high fibre make it good for keeping bowel movements regular. Combined with jaggery it can give a good energy boost. The leaves can be boiled to make a tea which reduces high blood pressure. The fruit also acts as a blood purifier and prevents diabetes by regulating sugar in the bloodstream. It has various properties for treating skin conditions and for maintaining health skin. It even boosts hair growth and can be used to treat itching, dandruff and folliculitis. Taken during pregnancy is helps regulate stress hormones in the body and reduces constipation. The powdered rind is given to children with some honey to relieve diarrhoea. Pulp form the roots, leave, fruit and bark is combined to treat snakebite.

A gum extracted from the branched and truck is used in inks, varnish dyes, and water colour paints. The wood can be used to agricultural implement, carving, block printing, as well as for burning.

Eating too much wood apple can cause gastric problems and flatulence. Consumed over a long time can cause pressure in the stomach causing the abdominal muscles to contract.

Gods & Symbols of Vishakha

Story of Radha Krishna

 

 

The beloved female slave, the Gopi with five beauties or charms of a woman: beautiful hair, curvaceous figure, good bone structure, smooth golden skin, youthfulness.

Love based on penance and devotion. They were both married, their love was impossible, but it was not just a desire. Blind trust, blind faith. They tend to show this devotion towards their career as well.

Krishna and his sister Drupati were considered destroyers of the kshetriyas. The pure Agni side of this Vishakha destroys the malign maya aspect related to the indriyas; the senses.

In a story from the Bhil tribal literature about Radha and Krishna. Right after they were married Krishna had to go away on business. This angered Draupadi so she went to the market and slept with a bangle seller. In the story, this also turns out to be Krishna as well. But he’s not angry; they have an open liberal relationship where she can do what she wants. Some other stories have Vasuki tying up Arjuna and ravishing Drupati. He gets mad at Vasuki but not Drupati; she is free to do what she wants, but only a snake will come between a man and his wife. And of course such things can poison the well. This is like the poison Shiva holds in his throat. They say communication is the key to neutralising such poisons, though I suppose every planet will have their own story and style of dealing with it.

Indra – Agni: Indra rules Jyeshta & Agni rules Krittika. 

This combination can be understood as fire & lightening, it’s where the inner fire rises up to meet with divine inspiration from outside Its the place where people argue to disagree and split the difference. Some call this couple “Fire & Rain” but fire and brimstone is probably close to the truth. Indra is electrical energy, or more precisely, and electrically charged atmosphere,  He is nucleus in the middle that all the atoms rally around. He’s the king, the viraja, the agent who controls the shakes, the powers and abilities of the senses. In many ways, prana in the fire and the warmth of life. This fire is transported though the Prana vayus and like flashes of lightening or flickers of a television screen, these prana vayus reach out with the senses to find the objects which are in our heart. Some others compare this combination to Fire & Rain to highlight the likely connection between the endocrine system and the nervous system that Vishakha nakshatra represents, 

In many ways this couple represents that fragile gap between the polar opposties. That momentariness of reality that many of the Buddhists talk about. If we take this perspective e we could talk about the split between Dharma and Kama; the love and lust Mizra Ghalib lamented over, singing that love demands patiences while lust insist on action. Of course patience is the highest path; but who can wait that long?!

The forked branch of lightning is mostly associated with Indra striking things down from the sky like Zeus with his thunder-bolt, but lightening actually reaches up from the ground with equal force as which comes from the sky.

Indra Agni have one other relationship which is important. Indra is the fire master, the master of ceremonies. Agrni is the ceremonial fire. Together, the fire ritual can proceed. Of course like so many things that originate in Vedic culture, there is an actual fire ritual, but the fire ritual is also a metaphor for the engagement between the subject and the object and the unlimited creative potential of this union. 

“One day Vyasa was ‘employed in rubbing his sticks to make a fire. While thus engaged he beheld the Apsara Ghritachi, who, in consequence of her energy, was then possessed of great beauty.” Seeing Ghritachi, Vyasa ejaculates spontaneously – his semen falls on the fire, and Shukra is born.”

In Arthashastra (Book XIII, “Strategic Means to Capture a Fortress”, Chapter I.  Sowing the Seeds of Dissension), Kautilya says:

“When the conqueror is desirous of seizing an enemy’s village, he should infuse enthusiastic spirit among his own men and frighten his enemy’s people by giving publicity to his power of omniscience and close association with gods. Proclamation of his omniscience is as follows:–rejection of his chief officers when their secret, domestic and other private affairs are known; revealing the names of traitors after receiving information from spies specially employed to find out such men; pointing out the impolitic aspect of any course of action suggested to him; and pretensions to the knowledge of foreign affairs by means of his power to read omens and signs invisible to others when information about foreign affairs is just received through a domestic pigeon which has brought a sealed letter. Proclamation of his association with gods is as follows: Holding conversation with, and worshipping, the spies who pretend to be the gods of fire or altar when through a tunnel they come to stand in the midst of fire, altar, or in the interior of a hollow image.”

HYMN CVIII. Indra-Agni.

1. ON that most wondrous car of yours, O Indra and Agni, which looks round on all things living, Take ye your stand and come to us together, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.
2 As vast as all this world is in its compass, deep as it is, with its far-stretching surface, So let this Soma be, Indra and Agni, made for your drinking till your soul be sated.
3 For ye have won a blessed name together: yea, with one aim ye strove, O Vṛtra-slayers. So Indra-Agni, seated here together, pour in, ye Mighty Ones, the mighty Soma.
4 Both stand adorned, when fires are duly kindled, spreading the sacred grass, with lifted ladles. Drawn by strong Soma juice poured forth around us, come, Indra-Agni, and display your favour.
5 The brave deeds ye have done, Indra and Agni, the forms ye have displayed and mighty exploits, The ancient and auspicious bonds of friendship,—for sake of these drink of the flowing Soma.
6 As first I said when choosing you, in battle we must contend with Asuras for this Soma. So came ye unto this my true conviction, and drank libations of the flowing Soma.
7 If in your dwelling, or with prince or Brahman, ye, Indra-Agni, Holy Ones, rejoice you, Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libation of the flowing Soma.
8 If with, the Yadus, Turvaśas, ye sojourn, with Druhyus, Anus, Pūrus, Indra-Agni! Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.
9 Whether, O Indra-Agni, ye be dwelling in lowest earth, in central, or in highest. Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.
10 Whether, O Indra-Agni, ye be dwelling in highest earth, in central, or in lowest, Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.
11 Whether ye be in heaven, O Indra-Agni, on earth, on mountains, in the herbs, or waters, Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.
12 If, when the Sun to the mid-heaven hath mounted, ye take delight in food, O Indra-Agni, Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.
13 Thus having drunk your fill of our libation, win us all kinds of wealth, Indra and Agni. This prayer of ours may Varuṇa grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.

HYMN CIX. Indra-Agni.

1. LONGING for weal I looked around, in spirit, for kinsmen, Indra-Agni, or for brothers. No providence but yours alone is with me so have I wrought for you this hymn for succour.
2 For I have heard that ye give wealth more freely than worthless son-in-law or spouse’s brother. So offering to you this draught of Soma, I make you this new hymn, Indra and Agni,
3 Let us not break the cords: with this petition we strive to gain the powers of our forefathers. For Indra-Agni the strong drops are joyful, for here in the bowl’s lap are both the press-stones.
4 For you the bowl divine, Indra and Agni, presses the Soma gladly to delight you. With hands auspicious and fair arms, ye Aśvins, haste, sprinkle it with sweetness in the waters.
5 You, I have heard, were mightiest, Indra-Agni, when Vṛtra fell and when the spoil was parted. Sit at this sacrifice, ye ever active, on the strewn grass, and with the juice delight you.
6 Surpassing all men where they shout for battle, ye Twain exceed the earth and heaven in greatness. Greater are ye than rivers and than mountains, O Indra-Agni, and all things beside them.
7 Bring wealth and give it, ye whose arms wield thunder: Indra and Agni, with your powers protect us. Now of a truth these be the very Sunbeams wherewith our fathers were of old united.
8 Give, ye who shatter forts, whose hands wield thunder: Indra and Agni, save us in our battles. This prayer of ours may Varuṇa grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.

Drupati:

Drupati is famous as the wife of the Pandavas, but she was merely a reincarnation of Radha who a a reincarnation of Laxmi. From Vaishakha perspective they represent the fire pan into which the ghee is saddled or the the semen deposited so that some wholly new thing might be craated. You might notice that Vaishakha will find much in common with Purva Phalguni. 

“Often compared to a lotus flower she is said to be born from vedi (the raised platform), yagna-agni (the sacrificial fire) and Ghee (the libations poured into it.” “And there arose, after this from the centre of the sacrificial platform, a daughter also, called Panchali, who, blessed with great good fortune, was exceedingly handsome. Her eyes were black, and large as lotus-petals, her complexion was dark, and her locks were blue and curly. Her nails were beautifully convex, and bright as burnished copper; her eye-brows were fair, and bosom was deep. Indeed, she resembled the veritable daughter of a celestial born among men. Her body gave out fragrance like that of a blue lotus, perceivable from a distance of full two miles. Her beauty was such that she had no equal on earth. Like a celestial herself, she could be desired (in marriage) by a celestial, a Danava or a Yaksha. When this girl of fair hips was born an incorporeal voice said, ‘This dark-complexioned girl will be the first of all women, and she will be the cause of the destruction of many Kshatriyas. This slender-waisted one will, in time, accomplish the purpose of the gods, and along with her many a danger will overtake the Kauravas.” — KMG trans., Adi Parvan -169

“Vaisampayana said, …The illustrious Yagnasena, otherwise called Drupada, had a daughter risen from the centre of the sacrificial altar. Of eyes like lotus-petals and of faultless features endued with youth and intelligence, she is extremely beautiful. And the slender-waisted Draupadi of every feature perfectly faultless, and whose body emitted a fragrance like unto that of the blue lotus for two full miles around, is the sister of the strong-armed Dhrishtadyumna gifted with great prowess–the (would-be) slayer of Drona–who was born with natural mail and sword and bow and arrows from the blazing fire, himself like unto the second Fire. And that daughter of Yagnasena will select a husband from among the invited princes.”

“Her loins (Vedi) are the altar; her body-hairs, the strewing-grass; her skin, the Soma-press; her labia, the fire in the middle. The one who practises sexual intercourse knowing this gains as great a world as the one who offers the Vajapeya sacrifice, and takes the merit of the women to himself. However, the one who practices sexual intercourse without knowing this, the women take his merit to themselves.” — Mantra of Brhadaranyaka Upanishad

“In Rig Veda, sexual intercourse is an act of Sacrifice/Yagna: Semen is the Ghrta (libation) in the Agni of Yoni. “Agni has come from OUT, goes towards Yoni, and then goes IN abounding in grease, being fond of and desiring Yoni, and also being desired by Yoni, standing firmly and remains and continues in that condition and action, having a wide approach or access; and then it shines brightly in pleasure, soars high in purity and sublimity, moving into Yoni and back again and again, like the two pieces of wood used in kindling fire renewing with every force, and are purified in the waters anew with every force (my trans.).” — Shatapath Brahmana (7:5:1:38)

“The fire-pan is the belly, the mortar the womb;–the fire-pan is above, and the mortar below; for the belly is above, and the womb below. The pestle is the sisna; it is round-like, for the sisna is round-like. He places it to the right (south of the mortar), for the male lies on the right side of the female. And what food there is for the consecrated animal, that is the dûrvâ-brick. The left (north) side of that (Agni or altar) is more raised,–that Agni is an animal, and hence the left side of the belly of a well-filled beast is more raised (than the right side).”

“They enter woman, and make her lap their offering-fire, her womb the fuel,–for that (womb) is called the bearer, because by it Pragâpati bore creatures,–and the seed their pure libation: they satiate woman; and, verily, for him who, knowing this, approaches his mate, the Agnihotra comes to be offered. The son who is born therefrom is the renascent world: this is the Agnihotra, Yâgnavalkya, there is nothing higher than this.’ Thus he spoke; and Yâgnavalkya granted him a boon. He said, ‘Let mine be the (privilege of) asking questions of thee when I list, Yâgnavalkya!’ Thenceforth Ganaka was a Brahman.”

The word for Female Genital is Yoni – often translated in English as Vagina. However, in RgVeda, the word Yoni also means “the womb, uterus, vulva, female organs of generation; place of birth, source, origin, spring, fountain; place of rest, repository…” — Monier-Williams

Drupati’s true nature is revealed to be a goddess with a tiger; and a kind of avatar of the power goddess Durga. And since Krishna was also born for the sacrificial fire they are like brother and sister.

In Bhil literature, Drupati is ‘Dayan Devi’. This reveals an ambiguous relationship between benevolence and malevolence. She exists to destroy the civilised folk who arrogantly lay claim to the forests and make it their home.

The Potter’s Wheel: 

This points is more direct towards the chakra psychophysical energy system. The spinning and whirling is what keeps everything in balance. By applying slight pressure against the centrifugal force a new pot is created. Of course the speed and everything has to be balanced just right or everything will go wrong. I tend to also associate the “Wheel of Dharma,” which is often depicted and as the Captains steering wheel of a ship. 

The Triumphal Gateway decorated with leaves

The triumphal moment of penetration of the vagina which is the decorated archway with leaves. Said to be the symbol for an interdimentional radio total which spans Radha and Anuradha. It’s the triumph of man, the victorious soldier,

Health: Arms & Brest

They might also experience problems with their lower stomach, bladder, gallbladder, kidneys and pancreatic or prostate glands. Organs of reproduction and elimination will be harmed with malefics poorly placed here. 

Stars of Vishakha

Four stars in the shape of a pylon: Alpha Librae (Pada 1); Beta Librae (Pada 2); Gamma Librae (Pada 3); Iota Librae (Pada 4).

Key Themes 

Brain storms. Expansive shocks. We might see the underdog pull one off, or someone come from behind to seize and incredible comeback. Strength, power, brilliance, and perfectionism are all a part of Vishakha. One is purified under fire and is capable of anything. Hope is never lost to Vishakha, or just when it is, ka-pow, everything suddenly just comes together. Complete destruction followed by expansive growth. Vishakha reminds us that we have to sacrifice something in order to get anything important. In relationships we learn that we have to give up something of ourselves to have a relationship, to get anything that is really worth having. When we speak of what we love, what we are passionate about, we should talk about what we have sacrificed for that thing or person rather than what it does for us or how it makes us feel. At the stage of Vishakha life is at the bargaining stage; here life asks: “So you want this? What are you willing to give up?”

In other ways this nakshatra represents the bursting of life from the egg, the sprout from Swati rising up in the crack between time and space, feeding off the environment in order to express its own personal creativity. This is a very fertile, pro-creative nakshatra. But it’s also a deadly, poisonous nakshatra related to alcohol and toxicity in general, but radioactive energy, radium, polonium, radiology, splitting of the atom. Electro-magnetic energy at its peak of power. Is Vishakha a wave and a particle? It’s said to be the buildup of atmospheric energy just before a storm; the electric shock that causes an event of split and grow. Shakti, the power, and Shiva, the agent brings full sovereignty. The full chakra; full power.

Unity in diversity, a popular slogan for many modern yoga ashrams. Divide and conquer a popular tactic for destroying the enemy. Vishakha’s are likely to take both of these roads at some point in time. Many Krishna devotees can be found here and of course these natives typically have strong appetites for food and for sex. The fire in them burns strong; but hey can also develop a steel-will.

They usually have an attractive personality with bright, dark eyes and a lightening flash smile; like Drupati. They are very good with dealing with people, juggling multiple agreements, broad ranging negotiations. They tend to charge the atmosphere with their presence and they might transfer electric charges through their touch, voice, look or other modes of interacting with the world.

They do well in high level positions and situations where the atmosphere is charged. In many cases it will be the combination of houses owned by the planet that will come together to charge up the house the planet in Vishakha is in. By spanning Libra and Scorpio Vishakha represents the transformation from air to fire. As long as there is some fuel, this is a very intense situation to be in; just waiting for everything to flare up.

1st lord in Vishakha can give a split in the personality in certain situations related to house & sign placement as well as other planetary influences. 2nd lord in Vishakha can cause a split in the family and/or the bank account or other stores assets. 3rd lord will cause a split in the team or associations. 4th lord the split will be in the home itself, though Saturn in Vishakha conjunct Ketu in the 4th house: can literally cause the house to be hit by lightening. Interestingly enough it went right up through the door frame which is like the victory arch symbol of this nakshatra. The 5th lord in Vishakha often give some kind of joint custody of children, or even joint attribution of a creative project. 6th lord related with Vishakha can effectively divide and conquer the enemy, but if poorly placed it could be how the enemy conquers you. 7th lord relation with Vishakha can really put you in the fire when it comes to negotiated settlement. The liberal Jupitarian side of this nakshatra might allow the terms of agreement to expend until they reach their breaking point.

8th lord in Vishakha is very likely to bring very sudden shocking events related to fire or electricity. Of course one might also inherit some kind of power or authority. Prostate problems, piles, anal fissures are also possible if this placement is particularly problematic. The 9th lord here can cause schism in the church or some great change of faith. The 10th lord might have you working for both sided somehow; a double agent in some way. Or one might have a split in the structure of authority. 11th lord here can place one in some very charged mass gatherings; the potential for incitement to riot would be strong. Or perhaps some kind of systematic destruction meant for rebirth. The 12th lord here bring extra power to your dreams and fantasies, isolation and privacy would give you a charge. With Mars and nodal influence it could be the kind of charge that a thief feels once they’ve entered someone else’s personal space, or it could be the energy gained from a retreat get away. Either way one may feel all charged or fired up.

Vishakha people are good diplomates or business negotiators; but they like to play hard ball. At some point in their life they often take a great change and begin doing almost the opposite of what they were doing before. This great change can affect all parts of life if its a powerful and influential planet, or just parts of life its it’s influence is less. They do well in politics (or NGO’s which are essentially another branch of politics). They are usually good communicators and good with people so any kind of teaching, speaking, writing also come into play. The Jupiter influence will likely put them to work in some kind of humanistic cause; and for Vishakha the military might very well be included as a humanistic organisation. They often like science and research, they might be interested in law or any other field that allows them to rise up something new from the ashes. They want the challenge attaining unity among diversity; but planets placed here might be recognised first for the diversity of Vishakha. One might be tempted to ask how these two sides exist in the same person.

They can be good counsellors and the shocks of life typically lead them towards spirituality, and they can become good leaders, and broad minded patriarchs. Poor placements can develop into an overly commanding firey nature of a brutal dictator. They split things so that there might be greater development and growth of hidden potential. They often get some kind of help from people in low places. It might be Garth Brooks’ friends in low places, but it might be some special help from a mailroom clerk that helps an executive land the big promotion; which of course nobody was expecting. In some way they have a secret source of power, or fuel that allows them to rise.

Jupiter in Vishakha

Their own idealism in relationships can bring many socking surprises and sudden splits or separations. Some kind of joint custody of children is possible. They are usually focused on some kind of spiritual success: a triumph of faith. It’s likely they will have a great crisis of faith at some time in their life or they will be torn between to spiritual religious or ideological paths. They are likely to develop some kind of special insight into the topics of the houses involved.

Venus in Vishakha

They love highly charged situations. In many ways, Vishakha represents those last three steps we take on the gang plank; and then the fourth which carries us into the unknown in Scorpio. One is looking for peace, for some agreement at any cost. A better analogy might be after a couple of virgins get married and are going to have sex. The atmosphere becomes highly charged as they sit beside each other on the bed not knowing what to do, but something tells them that they have to do this; they have to have sex. This just increases the energy in the room, but then someone takes the step into Scorpio. This Scorpio sliver of Vishakha is not a very comfortable position for Venus as it’s ruled by his enemies Mars and Jupiter. This is where we get those highly charged, heavy relationships; something always breaks. The openness and vulnerability is at it’s peak in this last pada before Anuradha clamps down to control this energy; this is especially true when Venus is in enemy camp.

They can be showy a theatrical in their style, they like to stand out. The Libra side is, of course, more likely to keep a more balanced conventional style while the Scorpio side can be more mysterious and sexy. They dress to make an impression, especially a first impression they will try to sear into peoples minds. Beauty to them is a flash of illumination, bright, beautiful. Men will find that their spouse and many of the sisterly women in your life have many of these powerful traits of Indra-Agni. The kind of women I call “firecrackers;” full of energy, full of life, they love by high intensity situations.

They can be very determined in love, but they will have to face some difficult choices in matters of love, peace, trust. There can be something tantric in knowing that beauty, balance, harmony is in the space between two things; this is how trust is formed. They can make good counsellors, inspiring trust in the most highly charged situations. They are the ones who have to remain balanced and calm when shit is hitting the fan. This can also be seen in athletes, especially those known to rise to the occasion.

Venus in Scorpio: They have a love for those high charged, heavy situations where no one knows what will happen. They love secrets, the occult, that heavily charged atmosphere that can come between two people when one person has a secret love shocking people in various ways. They might have a double life in love. Two interests will always seem to be there at the same time. They may be prone to a kind of addiction for highly charged situations in which anything could happen. They just love that high energy of the stadium during a play-off game: do or die. Many criminals love this tension that comes with their “work”, like the whole world could change in an instant. I don’t think we can quite call these people adrenaline junkies, but other things in their chart could easily tilt them this way.

“Peace at any cost” is especially apparent in Kyle Rittenhouse. Kyle Rittenhouse also went out with a gun on that fateful night to protect property and ended up having to shoot several people and defend the defensive nature of his actions in a court of law. It was that dangerous love for those kinds of highly charged situations that allowed that to happen.

In many ways, it’s love for turning up the heat. Greta Thunberg’s whole career on the emergency of climate change: she literally proclaims an emergency out of the rising temperatures.

Of course this is also what made Rittenhouse famous, Patrick Roy, as a hockey goaltender was the last line of defence. Jean Claude Van Damme stared in the movie Double Impact, which is a very Vishakha title. It’s seems bouncers, Peace Keepers, and criminals will often have this placement. This might also be seen in counsellors and helpers trying to balance everyones interests.

Chamatkar Chintamani Venus in Scorpio: “The native is unfortunate, poor, mean, debtor, violent, venery, hostile to relatives, a cheat, unsocial and unfriendly; linked with wicked women, sorrow, trouble through them; very sexy, occultism, patrimony and legacy. If Sun aspects there is trouble and discord in married life, early marriage. Affable, sympathetic, sociable and fortunate. Gain through legacy. Peaceful end. Separation and grief. Aspect from Moon links the native with a wicked partner. In a female chart there will be menstrual problems, A large number of children but many fail to survive. Aspect from Mars indicates service, penniless, disrespected, delayed and unfortunate marriage if in a female chart. Danger by fire or accident. Mercury causes much discord with brothers, mean, obstinate, impolite, cruel and a prig. Aspect from Jupiter gives lonely looks, blessed with comely wife and promising children, prosperous. Aspect from Saturn bring financial difficulties after marriage, travelling, inert and chronic ailments.”

AstrologyKing: Venus conjunct Zubenelgenubi: Bad for marriage, sudden and secret death, may be poisoned owing to jealousy of one of own sex. Venus conjunct Zubeneschamali: Social success, help from women, favorable for love affairs and marriage.

The triumph of he working man.

Rahu in Vishakha: 

They often work on the cutting edge of technology seeking success at any cost. Electrical technology is likely to be a specialty. They might follow a kind of scorched earth policy to getting what they want. They can become fixated in consuming relationship or sexual energy. This can be an incredibly impulsive position for Rahu who wants to devour everything until all the fuel is gone. Obsessive compulsive and easy succumb to excess and driven to triumph over others. There can be an unstable energy surrounding them and a very charged and unpredictable atmosphere.

Rahu in Libra is famous for exciting mismatched partners, promising too much, being to accommodating, and deals with the devil. It gives a strong, overly ambitious drive to connect with others, but balance, fairness, equity and trust may be missing from the equation. This might lead in chronic dissatisfaction with relationships, broken promises, and lack of trust.

Ketu in Vishakha 

Static electricity; scattered static particles in the air. With Saturn making the air especially dry there can be lightening strikes in the house involved. In many ways they are born winners. They might lead so quickly to the front of the pack that they don’t feel it as an achievement; it’s meaningless to them. In some cases the opposing side is so mismatched that who can really celebrate another triumph by Israeli over its enemies. One the other hand, they might win many battles, but the war goes on. In other cases the success may not be merit based so it feels rather empty. Other are truly born to triumph, the effort they put might feel like nothing to them, just normal, but it’s enough to give them the win. They might have a deeply spiritual side to them.
