They are spiritually inclined and like to follow the path of righteousness and ethics. They have good oratory and diplomatic skills which makes them good advisors, teachers, philosophers, preachers, administrators, professors, lawyers, and counselors.

Vishakha belongs to the tiger yoni, which is characterized by its ferocity. They are ferocious and have a high sex drive. They are, therefore, one of the constellations which cannot be easily paired with any other since their sexual energy is hard to match. Sexually, they are best paired with the same yoni. But for overall romance, love and emotion – which can make or break the joy of sex or have a fulfilling relationship on all levels – Chitra and Jyestha are best compatible. This ferocity translates into their lives other than romance as well. These people have a mind of their own and they are very assertive in their choices.

Vishakha and Ashwini form a relationship which can lead to mostly a sexual relationship. Vishakha are sexually ferocious and dominant in bed. Vishakha are resembled by the ‘tigress’ which makes them hunt their interests down and have it. But Vishakha are not satisfied by any other constellation except one which exhibits the qualities of a ‘tiger’. In social settings, they appear the opposite of what they are within the bedroom. The bigger issue however is the lack of sentiments in this relationship. Commitment can be an issue from both sides.

Mrigashira can seem nagging to a Vishakha who believes they’re fine just the way they are.
