Vishakha Nakshatra: The Cosmic Crossroads of Determination and Destiny
Vishakha Nakshatra
Deity: Indragni
Symbol: Triumphal Archway
Shakti: The Power of Achievement and Manifestation
Quality: Mixed
VD Planetary Period Lord: Jupiter
Indra and Agni are a dimorphic pair—a single body with two heads. Vishakha means “the forked shape,” and this is symbolized by the two gods who are joined to one body. These two powerful gods support the shakti of this nakshatra to achieve and manifest, although results may not be experienced right away.
Indra, the warrior and king of the gods, can be very indulgent, and he has a love of luxury, pleasure, and egoistic activities. Indra must control the indriyas, or senses, and spiritual faculties first. Agni, the god of fire, represents a strong spiritual nature, and has a connection to fire sacrifices, mantras, purification, and rituals. Agni wanted to restore his strength by burning the entire Khandava forest, and it was Indra who tried to prevent Agni’s hunger from consuming the forest by bringing thunder and rain, to no avail.
When fire is out of control, it can burn indiscriminately, thus fire is also representative of passion. Agni also had great lust for the wives of the Saptarishis, and this nakshatra can show the possibility for strong sexual desire and promiscuity. Both of the gods like to get intoxicated on the soma, the elixir of life for virility and strength; sometimes those who brew or like to indulge in spirits have key planets placed in Vishakha.
The triumphal gateway is a moving target, because once the gods conquer an objective, they are moving on to the next.
