Who is Vishaka?

You are an active participant in life, motivated by your goals. As the symbol, a decorated archway suggests, you are an ambitious soul with an unwavering determination, always focused on harvesting the fruit of your efforts. You appear calm and insightful, but deep down, you are like a cannon of desire, shooting a pointed beam at your target. You also have a highly accurate radar to sense where treasure is hidden. Not only do you have a forceful and enduring attitude toward achievements, but also you are a very courteous and smooth communicator who makes others feel taken care of. You are also an eloquent speaker and a showman, who can energize people with your inner fire, which makes you a powerful leader. The presiding deities are Indra and Agni, the God of Rain and Thunder and also the King of the Gods, and the God of Fire. You know how to utilize the storm inside to fuel yourself to be the King. You work hard, and you avoid negativity by putting your energy into more productive actions: You always focus on the positive even when things are difficult. Vishaka is ruled by Jupiter and lies in Libra and Scorpio, ruled by Venus and Mars. Since you are generally blessed and have talent to succeed in your pursuit, it is important you choose a goal that is in line with the Divine. Otherwise, you can use questionable means to fulfill your desires or you can end up as a dictator instead of a leader. Also, you can be calculative in relationships and be domineering, suspicious and possessive. Since you are competitive and generally feel unsatisfied with what you have, you can be jealous and critical toward others. Also, Venus, Mars and Jupiter make you a highly sexual and agitated person who can indulge in love affairs or feel the need to abuse drugs or alcohol. Harness the fire within and proceed toward your divine archway!
