Marriage and Compatibility
Vishakha belongs to the Rakshasa gana and Antya nadi. In matching, a partner from the same nadi (Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha and Magha and others) creates Nadi dosha unless an exception applies. Rakshasa gana matches best with Rakshasa.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Vishakha starts life in the Jupiter Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
Remedies

- Gemstone: Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) - only if Jupiter is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
