What tradition holds

Astrology associates Vishakha with keeping one's eye on a goal, persistence and steady progress. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: quick understanding, a gift for putting things into words, eagerness to learn, and the ability to adapt. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
