Mars in Vishakha ~ Victory from a balanced approach

Mars, planet of action and competition, is in Vishakha nakshatra across the signs of Libra and Scorpio from November 20^th to December 9^th 2021.

Vishakha’s symbol is a Victory Arch, so your battling energy is on a high and the prospect of a personal triumph is a powerful motivating force. You set standards and raise your game, and your will to win makes all the difference to the final outcome.

This nakshatra is ruled by Indragni, a combination of Indra, King of the Gods and Agni, the embodiment of sacred fire, which creates passionate, powerful energy and a comfortable feeling when handling authority.

The Shakti or unique power of Vishakha is also to ‘Achieve Many Fruits in Life’, and you turn the influence of Mars to a high level and aim it at all the goals you have striven for. You are fiery and impulsive, and work with an intuitive conviction that has a way of manifesting in the real-world – you also size up a situation immediately.

Go with your gut feel and don’t overthink. This nakshatra has excellent diplomatic skills and you direct all your attention to making the right contacts and getting your message across. Create an alliance, where working as a team brings out the best in all parties, despite any accusations of political favouritism, or that you are all business.

Someone may also draw you into a power play and you decide how closely you want to be associated with their game. All sides should profit in the end. Mars receives a boost from expansive Jupiter up to December 6^th, where you have extra energy and enthusiasm in all your plans.

Look for meaning and the upside of any proposal, and playing fair in all situations gets you an outcome with no repercussions.
