Vishakha is the sixteenth nakshatra, bridging Libra and Scorpio. It carries single-pointed ambition — the forked branch that reaches for its goal and does not let go until the harvest. Those born under it are often natural conquerors — bright, brave and successful, ready to take on any challenge and hold on until the goal is won; spiritual rather than superstitious, though the same drive can make them so goal-fixed they will take any road to arrive. The triumphal archway is its symbol.
Presided over jointly by Indra and Agni, with the decorated triumphal archway as its symbol. Its Vimshottari lord is Guru.

Span 20°00′ Tula – 3°20′ Vrishchika; lord Jupiter. The Venus-sign portion pursues goals through alliance, the Mars-sign pada through intensity; determination is the constant across the split.
