• A Vishakha native will always wake up around this time or at least become aware that they were asleep and now they are up, they may not do anything specific while some may love to have midnight snacks.
• Tiger also hunt at night due to their retinal adaptation to darkness; they can see extremely clearly in the dark, so a tiger or tigress can see quite well in the dark.
• Vishakha nakshatra natives can easily adapt to darkness, much quicker and faster than others, especially when luminaries like Sun or Moon are in this nakshatra.
• A tiger is an extremely careful animal, who is quiet when hunting and you wouldn’t know what hit you.
• He would suddenly launch at you with an attack.
• Vishakha natives are also very quiet but when they are pushed constantly they will suddenly lunge and attack you, and they don’t just attack to show but to cause some harm so you know next time not to provoke them.

• The symbol of an arch is connected with pillars and is considered a place of regal royal status like government buildings, palaces, and luxury hotels.
• This symbolism represents return of warriors from a winning battlefield.
• In olden days when a champion or solider came back from winning the battle they were ceremonially greeted under a triumphant gate.
• Whenever a Vishakha person enters a home or a workplace with arch or pillars they achieve quick success but suddenly also lose interest in either professional or personal life, depending upon which gates the arch represents.
• The other symbolism of Vishakha is the potter’s wheel. There is also a type of wheel that is used in directing ships and yachts, which can also be symbolized by this wheel.
• The potter’s wheel shows the creative and artistic side of Vishakha. They know how to sculpt something from nothing and how to get a business or venture from thin air.
• The wheel goes around and the pottery is created in the middle; Vishakha natives think the world revolves around them vs the other way around, they become too self-centered and egotistical.
• Vishakha natives are the pot being shaped and sculpted by the Universe. They become more refined and more focused on God with age.
• The pottery wheel is also in a shape of a galaxy on the finger of Vishnu and Krishna, this again signifies that Vishakha natives think they run and rule the world.
• The wheel also represents what goes around, comes around. Vishakas native are more susceptible in getting quick back karma based on their actions.
• Vishakha nakshatra is the only nakshatra with two different deities, with each of them having their own individual nakshatras.
• The deities are Indra who presides over Jyeshtha nakshatra, and Agni who rules Krittika nakshatra. Indra is the King of the Gods, who is the champion, and is seen as the one enjoying all the luxuries, drinking soma, & gambling.
• He is the king of gods yet he is the most insecure, as he is not willing to let go of his throne and ends up acting out of his insecurities.
• Agni is the god of fire, who along with Indra drinks soma. Agni transfers the offerings from the men to the Gods, and back. He is present in all the fire rituals especially yagnas, & havans done by the men to fulfil their desires.
• The story goes that Agni was filled with great hunger and needed to burn down Khandava forest to quench his hunger. However, Takshaka, the serpent king lived in the forest and was a friend of Indra.
• Hence, Indra would bring down rains to prevent Agni from consuming the forest.
• Arjuna and Krishna, after obtaining their divine weapons and the chariot from Varuna, created a canopy of arrows, which allowed Agni to consume the forest.
• Indra was happy that his son Arjuna was able to complete his task and blessed him.
• Indra also killed Visvarupa, son of Tvashta or Vishwakarma. As a result Tvashta created Vritra to avenge Visvarupa’s killing but unfortunately he too was slayed by Indra with his Vajra, prepared from the bones of rishi Dadhichi.
• By reading the mythology we get that Vishakha natives are extremely insecure and cannot take defeat by another person.
• They want to be the champion; they want to be the first and will do whatever it takes to achieve it.
• Since Vishakha represents two deities, it shows a divide, a division in these natives.

• Brahma went to sage Gautam and requested that the thousand yonis be turned into thousand eyes. The wish was granted.
• The above mythology shows the sexual obsession of a Vishakha native, at one point in their life they will seduce a 3rd party spouse and even be in danger of getting caught, but how would the curse work on a normal Vishakha person.
