Visakha
1 One born in Visakha is Jealous, avaricious, handsome, clever speaker and quarrelsome, or maker of money.
2 One born in yisakha will be extremely Jealous, slim, skilful in languages, will destroy his enemies, be an ascetic winning his senses, wealthy and miserly.
3 Vishakha is ruled by Indra and Agni, who represent the powers of heat and lightning in the Atmosphere. It gives the power to achieve many and various fruits in life (vyapana shakti). Its basis above is plowing or cultivation. Its basis below is the harvest. These three gives us the fruit of the harvest. Vishakha provides the effort to achieve our goals abundantly through time, like a farmer plowing his field. It does not give immediate results but perhaps greater long term gains. Indra and Agni here are agriculture Gods showing the ripening effect of heat, rain and seasonal changes.
