The Mechanics of Taurus Navamsa
Saturn in Vishakha Pada 2 falls into Taurus Navamsa (ruled by Venus). This is a Pushkara Navamsa (highly auspicious). Saturn is exalted in Libra (ruled by Venus) and comfortable in Taurus (also ruled by Venus), making this an incredibly prosperous placement. The 'obsessive goal' of Vishakha is directed entirely toward the material world. Unlike the aggressive warrior of Pada 1, this native is the 'wealthy victor.' They are not in a rush. They use their diplomatic skills (Libra) and their immense patience (Taurus) to slowly, methodically accumulate vast wealth and resources.
