Vishakha in a birth chart
Your birth nakshatra (janma nakshatra) is the one the Moon was in when you were born. With Vishakha, the Moon is in Libra (Tula) or Scorpio (Vrishchika), and Jupiter rules the first dasha of your life in the Vimshottari system, which is why your Mahadasha sequence starts with Jupiter. In Kundli matching, its Rakshasa gana, Tiger yoni and Antya nadi count for 18 of the 36 points.
