The battle that is worth fighting

Vishakha Nakshatra

Vishakha falls in the sign of Libra and Scorpio and as per mythology it's ruled by Lord Agni and Lord Indra. Lord Agni is the god of fire and Lord Indra is known to be the king of the heavens. Lord Agni is also known to be the king of the Brahmins, the leader of the Brahmins.

The Brahmins as per mythology are known to preserve ancient knowledge. Right conduct prevails in the society. Knowledge, wisdom and, by extension, teachers are linked to the Brahmins, and Lord Agni is their leader. Tejas represents intelligence. Lord Agni is known to bestow that wisdom, the fire within us that burns the veil of delusion. That is thanks to Lord Agni. Lord Agni therefore is directly linked to spirituality.

It also keeps us warm. It's known to cook our food. However Lord Agni is known to burn incessantly. We often hear of wildfires. When Lord Agni expresses its extreme form, it's uncontrollable. Lord Agni has a dual character. It's important for you to understand that this Nakshatra has a lot to do with duality. Lord Agni is also known to be the leader of the Vasus and the Vasus are known to have sovereignty over earth.

The point I'm trying to make is Vishakha is a lot about leadership due to Lord Agni's role in the cosmic hierarchy. Similarly, Lord Indra also rules this Nakshatra. Lord Indra is known to be the king of the heavens. He is known to be the leader of the Kshatriyas. The Kshatriyas are known to belong to the caste of warriors. They are known to fight injustice. They are known to maintain law and order and Lord Indra is their leader. Once again leadership.

Jupiter in Vishakha

When Jupiter is in Vishakha the divinity linked to Lord Agni is going to help you see which battles to fight. I had given you the example of Dalai Lama who has Jupiter in Vishakha. You then start, I believe, guiding others to fight for the right things. You promote right conduct.

You maintain law and order. You become an inspiration for others to fight for things which are worth fighting for. Your fight here, your battles rather, are on a philosophical plane. They are driven by a philosophy.

They have a higher purpose. I find Jupiter in Vishakha to be a very, very strong position. If your purpose in life is to be recognised in the society, Jupiter in Vishakha can lead to that. Recognition, leadership, growth opportunities, foreign travel opportunities.

You have your influence not only in your home community, you may even find yourself having an impact, leaving an impact rather, in places foreign to you. The Sattvic Guna attached to Vishakha would be seen in your character. I think you'll become very generous when you help people. I think generosity, selflessness, right conduct is going to be part of your character.

One of the symbols of Vishakha is a triumphant gateway which symbolises victory. Jupiter in Vishakha, I believe, guarantees victory. Firstly, you're not going to fight for issues which are not worthy. Secondly, when you do make an effort, Jupiter's energy is going to make sure the results are in your favour.

This is a strong position. Lastly, you must try to find the purpose of life on a spiritual plane. Lord Agni is ruling Vishakha, and Jupiter's presence in this can lead you on that path.
