Male Natives born under Visakha Nakshatra
Physical Features: His face will be round, bright and physical appearance extremely attractive. We have noticed two types of physical appearance i.e. one with fatty and long structure and the other with very lean and short structure.
Character and general events: He will have full of vigor and vitality as also intelligence of the highest order. He is firm believer of god and leads a life of truthful existence. He does not believe in the orthodox principles not the age old tradition. He is fond of adopting modern ideas.
Mostly he lives away from his family. He is ready to give weight to others in excess of what is actually required depending on the weight of the persons to whom he is dealing in. Slavery is suicidal for him. While he is very much religiously active, he does not follow any superstitious religious fanaticism. He treats all religions, castes and creed as one. He is a follower of Gandhian philosophy of ‘Ahimsa Paramodharma‘ (Religion is Non-violence) and ‘Truth is God‘. In certain cases I have seen that such type of persons accept Sanyasa (saintism) when they touch 35 years of age. When we sanyasa it does not mean that complete detraction from the ‘Grihastashram‘ (duty towards the family). He will simultaneously look after the family and follow sanyasa.
Education, sources of earning/profession: He is a very good orator and has the capacity to attract crowd. He will win several prizes in elocution competition. Hence he is the fittest person to be in the political circle. There is a peculiar spending tendency in him. While on the one side he is very stingy on the spending on the other side he is extravagant in the spending where it is not required.
He is fit for doing an independent business, job involving high responsibility, banking and religious professions, mathematician or a teacher or a printer.
Family life: He cannot enjoy love and affection of mother. One of the primary reasons for such lack of care may either due to mother’s death or unavoidable circumstances and atmosphere which warrant his mother to be away from the native. There may be several beneficial points of his father with which he can always be proud of. Even then, not much help will be derived from his father also. In other words, we have to come to a conclusion that the native leads more or less a life of an orphan. There may be a lot of difference of opinion between his father and him on several points where an amicable settlement on any matter may not be possible. It is due to these reasons he is right from the childhood a hardworking and self made person.
He loves his wife and children very much. Even so, he has two bad qualities. One is that he is addicted to alcohol and another is that he indulges in too much sex with other ladies. In spite of these weaknesses he will not make this weaknesses as hindrance either in the family or social life.
Health: Since has has inherent vigor and vitality given by the god, his health will normally be very good. However, he is prone to paralytic attack. More than 70 percent of Visakha born people were noticed of this paralytic attack after the age of 55 years. It is also seen that they are prone to asthmatic attack.

Padas:
1st Pada 20° 00′ – 23° 20′ Libra falls in Aries Navamsa and is ruled by Mars. This pada is all about energy, impulse, and very high social ambitions. The focus here is on relationships, but passion and instinct are likely to dominate instead of commitment and depth. A well placed Mars or Venus are the most suitable planets for this pada.
2nd Pada 23° 20′ – 26° 40′ Libra falls in Taurus Navamsa ruled by Venus. Endurance and durability are the hallmarks of this pada. Planets here tend to give success in Venusian pursuits. Material ambitions are strong here and since this is the Pushkara navamsa pada they are fulfilled to the degree allowed by the chart as a whole.
3rd Pada 26° 40′ – 30° 00′ Libra falls in Gemini Navamsa ruled by Mercury. There’s a definite conflict between two opposing forces here – one force demands the native to be lighthearted, openminded and jovial, while the other promotes selfishness, deception and anxiety. Only well placed Mercury and Saturn can be counted on for giving good results in this pada.
4th Pada 00° 00′ – 3° 20′ Scorpio falls in Cancer Navamsa ruled by Moon. This is the most pointed of all Vishakha’s padas. The turmoil here takes place on the emotional plane, making this a highly volatile, transformative and dangerous part of the zodiac In its lowest aspect, it is highly vindictive and revengeful and embodies most of the despicable, human qualities. Only a well placed Jupiter can give the widom to navigate through the stormy waters of this pada.
