Vishakha Nakshatra — Lord, Deity, Symbol & Marriage Matching

Vishakha occupies Libra 20° – Scorpio 3°20', which places it in Tula & Vrishchika. A star of sustained purpose; matching gives attention to gana because of its Rakshasa classification.

Vishakha is Rakshasa gana and Antya nadi. Nadi is the most heavily weighted of the eight kootas, and identical nadi between two horoscopes is read as nadi dosha — which is why the 8 other Antya nadi stars are the ones families check against first.

On gana and nadi together, Vishakha matches 5 of the remaining 26 stars: Chitra, Jyeshtha, Mula, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha. Scored across gana, nadi, yoni and graha maitri, its strongest pairing is Chitra at 23 of 23.

This page records what traditional kundli matching holds about this star, for families filling in the nakshatra field of a biodata. It is a guide to the convention, not a prediction — and no single koota decides a match on its own. Where a family takes matching seriously, an astrologer reads the full horoscope.
