Weaknesses
Vishakhas are extreme and passionate individuals.

This can cause personal frustration, and others may perceive them to be inconsistent or unreliable.

Persons born in Vishakha may be too talkative, prying into others affairs, gossiping, and so on. Though they are compassionate deep down, they do not always understand personal boundaries or the meaning of privacy. This can cause them to lose friends and the favor of their peers, if they cannot control their tendency to be a busybody.

You may be stingy with others and envious of the success of your peers. Others may perceive you as greedy, scheming, and manipulative. By regularly going out of your way to help others, even those who are not in your inner circle, you can maintain a humble and friendly disposition.
