Tendencies of a person born under Viśākha
Viśākha is called the ‘star of purpose’. This nakṣatra does not give immediate results in life. It suggests an individual who slowly grows in influence and produces great fruit as age ripens.
Viśākha is ruled by Indra and Agni, who represent the powers of heat and lightning in the atmosphere and attest to the energy and potential enclosed in Viśākha.
You may have much hidden ambition, and you can make great success, but may use questionable means to achieve it. The patience and endurance you show are enormous, and they are sustained even through the struggles you face. This drive can sometimes turn into frustration and anger when obstructions occur. It can lead you to pursue a selfish goal using people as means to an end.
Viśākha denotes a strong power to recover from depression and difficulties. You are an excellent communicator, able to write and speak well. You are also good as a supervisor of people: you are brave, strong, charitable, and of a religious nature.
Sometimes, the native may be unstable and shows aggressiveness. The problem is often caused by jealousy and envy of the success of others, a fault that breeds problems in relationships.
You may feel sometimes you lack a strong network of friends and feel isolated and alone in this big world. Bitterness and resentment may result out of this lack of attention. When this happens, the native may feel like eating uncontrollably, resulting in weight problems or indigestion.
Those born under this nakṣatra are likely to be scientists, military leaders, writers, public speakers, politicians or lawyers.
Characteristics of an Anurādhā-born
The residing deity of Anurādhā is Mitra, the God of friendship and partnership. Mitra promotes cooperation among humanity. ādhā is its emblem; it stands for the feminine manifestation of the energy of the universe, encouraging all beings to serve the Lord. Anurādhā gives friendliness, compassion and love, devotion and balanced relationships by honoring others and oneself.
This nakṣatra is also called the ‘star of successes’. The native usually possesses good health and vitality, and has a strong appetite for life.
You like to manage people and can demonstrate organizational skills and motivate others to activity. Residing in foreign lands is highly possible, and you may achieve success away from your homeland. You can shine in the social and political fields or in performing activities such as music, classical dance, etc.
You can face spiritual challenge with braveness and courage. Righteousness is your motto, and you prosper through good social relationships. Your outer expression may not reveal your inner motive of action.
Sometimes you face difficulty in your home and feel a restless urge to move away from it, to change your place of living. You should learn to develop tolerance and not respond with anger when another person doesn't meet your expectations. Melancholy and lack of motherly nurturing in childhood are in evidence.
You should also watch your diet and learn to eat less, as you have strong appetite.
