Vishakha - Ascendant Nakshatra Life Pattern

Please refer to the introductory article here – https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/AscendantNakshatraandLifePattern to understand the theme and purpose of this series.


So, now we will try to understand that what will happen if Vishakha Nakshatra is someone’s Ascendant Nakshatra and how it is going to impact the life pattern of person.


So, let’s cover this article under the following points –


Ascendant Nakshatra – There is something called the Ascendant Nakshatra. It is based on the degree of Ascendant (please find introduction of all the Nakshatras here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/intronaksh)


If Ascendant shows the life path then Ascendant Nakshatra will show the pattern of life. It shows the activities we follow throughout life as pattern.


Vishakha - Vishakha is nakshatra of counselors and guides. It is also nakshatra of split or partition or different direction. For more information on Vishakha Nakshatra, please check this link - https://www.astrosaxena.com/vishnaksh.


Effect of Vishakha Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Vishakha is an energy which represents split direction or separate path. It shows split both in personal and professional life. It is also the nakshatra of Guides, Counsellors and Gurus etc. It can also show Psychological issues like Split Personality etc. So, when Vishakha becomes someone’s ascendant nakshatra then these traits can be person’s life pattern.


Ascendant Nakshatra Lord’s Position – Now, as ascendant shows our life path and ascendant lord’s position in chart shows the direction of life path; likewise, ascendant nakshatra shows our life pattern and position of ascendant nakshatra lord in chart shows that in which area of life, the life pattern will be exhibited.


Like, we have discussed all above traits and characteristics of Vishakha Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Vishakha lord Jupiter is placed in a Libra/Scorpio Ascendant's chart, person may get Vishakha’s and Jupiter’s results as life pattern. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Jupiter is placed in chart.


Here, going through Jupiter’s position in each house/sign can be repetitive or monotonous. So, for understanding the end result, we can rely on the Concept of Who, How, What & Where - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/whww.


“Where” is the House where event is happening.


“What” is the Sign which is indicating towards event.


“Who” is the Planet who is bringing the event; and


“How” is the quality of event which depends on nature and dignity of planet.


For example, Jupiter in 4th house/Capricorn for a Libra ascendant chart would show that Native can treat their Mother as their Guru or Guide. It shows that person can have two homes or two homelands. It can also be a case of a person has two mothers; like one who gives birth and the other who takes care of him. Person can be a good teacher or a guide working from home or private offices. Person can be a counsellor in real estate matters too. But as Jupiter is debilitated, it shows that person can be frustrated from overall results here.


Whereas Jupiter in 6th house/Aries for Scorpio ascendant chart shows that this person’s life pattern can be working independently at daily work life. They can be following two separate work life simultaneously or at different times. This can show a health or a legal counsellor. It can also show someone who is teacher and practitioner both in Legal/Medical field. At the same time, it can bring a split in family life or with children. As Jupiter is in friendly sign here, it shows that native can be feeling happy with overall results.


Final example, Jupiter in 10th house/Leo shows that split will be visible in career or in relationship with Father. It also shows split with any authority figure in life. It again shows someone as counsellor or guide. The person can be working under the Govt. or any high authority figure. This can be a position of a teacher in any creative field too. They can be teacher or guide in multiple streams simultaneously. As Jupiter is in friendly sign again, it shows that person can be happy with overall results of this position.


Like this, we can understand about how and where the ascendant nakshatra lord is exhibiting the results of life pattern. In further articles of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern, I will cover other house/sign positions which would help us in learning interpretation of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern in a more holistic way.


Dignity – As always, Dignity of Planet has the highest say. So, we can expect better or more satisfactory results if Jupiter is in friendly signs (Aries, Leo and Scorpio), own signs (Sagittarius and Pisces) and exaltation sign (Cancer). But results can be frustrating one if Jupiter is in enemy signs (Taurus, Gemini, Virgo and Libra) or in Saturnine signs (Capricorn and Aquarius).


Conclusion – As I understand, this is how we can understand as to how ascendant nakshatra can setup the life pattern for people with Vishakha Nakshatra as the Ascendant Nakshatra.
