α, β, γ, ι Librae
"The Forked One" or "The Gift"
"forked, having branches"; also known as rādhā "the gift"
In the night sky, Vishaka consists of four stars in the constellation of Libra: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Iota Librae. These stars form a "forked branch" and can be seen under the bright star Spica. In astrology, Vishaka bridges the signs of Libra and Scorpio. It is referred to as a nakshatra of purpose because it gives determination and a single-pointed focus. People born under Vishaka often find themselves at a crossroads. Once they choose a direction, they have the ambition, along with the patience to succeed, even if success arrives later in life. This star fuels competition and also gives excellent leadership abilities. Vishaka is a combination of its ruling deities, the mighty Indra and the purifying Agni. Thus, people born under Vishaka have passionate and courageous warrior energy.
