Sun in Vishakha ~ Combine dynamism with diplomacy

The Sun, planet of light and self, is in Vishakha from November 6th to 19th 2025, where the Sun emerges gradually from its place of debilitation in Libra and picks up strength in Mars-ruled Scorpio.

You go from indecision and reliance on other people’s opinions to courage, decisiveness, and chasing up your goals with energy. You are on a journey of discovery and subtly transformed, as the Sun’s light shines on hidden parts of your personality. The Shakti, or unique power of this asterism, ‘To Gain Many Fruits in Life’, represents all-out success, though you may also confront others who are reckless or over-ambitious.

Vishakha is ruled by Indragni, a fusion of Indra, chief of the Gods, and Agni, which is Divine Fire personified, and creates a Phoenix-like deity that combines emotion and mystery. The Sun, sitting with conciliatory Venus up to November 16th, lifts its level in this nakshatra and gives you extra strength and diplomatic decisiveness. You can make a creative compromise, settle a dispute for yourself and others, and perhaps earn a reputation as a diplomat and mediator.

This is also an excellent time for your artistic efforts, where you express yourself easily and create some truly great work. The smallest thing you do has a stylish touch; you can present yourself smartly and become a fashion leader in a natural, effortless way. Vishakha’s symbol of a Triumphal Arch also inspires you to great heights, but you keep your will to win from being all-consuming, and instead make any proposals mutually agreeable.
