"Indra desired, "May I gain supremacy among
the gods." One who makes the appropriate offering to Indra, to Jyestha,
gains supremacy among his peers.
Those born under Jyestha seek to be the best and the
highest but
on their own, by their own effort, as individuals, not by relying on
others.
They often do their best when left alone."

Jyestha, for
females:
"... independent and
self-sufficient, capable, dignified, and proud. If she is not born in a
wealthy or well-to-do family, she will herself become wealthy through her own
efforts. In such case, her family will be dependent on her and she will be
recognized as the head of the family.
She is careful and canny regarding money
matters.
Being proud, she has a tendency to dramatize herself and secretly
glories in being the pivot or centre around which her family affairs revolve.
She will, at some time in her life, occupy a very influential position and be
greatly respected."

Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 98.

Jyestha, for
males:
"A dark and sensitive nature ...
superficially religious but are hypocrites at heart. On the surface they are
respectable, law abiding citizens, ostensible church-goers, but secretly
their morals are loose and their tempers passionate.
Smooth, oily, and suave to all
appearances, they carry in their hearts schemes and thoughts which might not
stand the light of day."

Barbara's
viewpoint on Jyestha:
Anuradha's alliance-building negotiations
have become prolonged. In the chaotic aftermath of Vishakha followed by
still-incomplete negotiations for order within Anuradha, the people need a senior leader to bring the conflicted
factions together.
Thus Jyestha often finds social destiny as
a politician (Thomas Jefferson, Angela D.
Merkel, John Forbes Kerry, Elizabeth Dole) or an influential religious leader
(Mother Teresa, Tammy Faye Bakker, Elizabeth Clare Prophet).
One individual with a strong vision will
arise in the disorder following the shock caused by a great storm (Vishaka).
Jyestha knows, or believes that one knows, the true path toward greater world
order and a lasting peace.
This one speaks with articulate (Budha)
seniority, with calm certainty in the rightness of one's own view. This one is the
self-appointed authority. This one claims
to receive direction from the Divine. This
is Jyestha, the respected Elder.
Jyestha is often associated with cult
leadership . However, Jyestha's proclaimed certainty may be
deceptive to less discriminating minds. Jyestha must maintain the highest
standards of personal integrity in order to withstand the temptation to misuse
one's inherent seductive charisma.
The native has darkly
charismatic and manipulative
powers. The status of Budha and Kuja within the Jyotisha nativity
will determine the course of one's true righteousness.
Of all 27 nakshatras, Jyestha is the most
likely or the most tempted to misuse one's power to control others. The
Jyestha native faces lifelong potential for self-deception. Jyestha may
fall prey to the belief that, in a time of desperate tribal need for
leadership, one has been "Chosen".
As the people beg for leadership, Jyestha may slip into delusion, believing
that all of one's thoughts and actions respond only to the highest powers. A
"reality check" on one's own humble humanity is permanently in order
for the Jyestha native!
Cf. Mother
Teresa who had super-strong Kuja AND super-strong Budha. Note her
awareness of her Jyestha predicament, and how she kept it under control
through vigorous humility practice.
Jyestha can be a "control
freak". (If Chandra-
Jyestha, obsessive emotional control.) If there is a Jyestha person in
your life, things will be easier in the relationship when the Jyestha person
is allowed to have firm control over his or her physical, emotional, mental,
social, and spiritual destiny. Outsiders will be disregarded. One may however
extend positive influence to the Jyestha native through subtle psychic
suggestion and (in case the Jyestha is still a child) through parental
role-modeling. Jyestha has a fixed-direction mentality and physical habit, but
also a very fluid psychic aura.
Jyestha must rigorously discipline a
tendency to appropriate power through psycho-mental manipulation. Jyestha
should avoid the temptation to believe that one "knows
better" what is good for the partner or the people.
Jyestha is advised to wait to assume
leadership until public trust is fully earned through a track record of
transparent moral action. If self-discipline, including even the mortification
of the flesh, is in place, then Jyestha may indeed act as a great and
transformative channel for the progress of human civilization

General results of being born in Jyestha
Nakshatra:
1. Physical features: You will have a
very good physical stamina and
attractive countenance. It may be noticed that most of the persons born in this Nakshatra may have defective teeth.
2. Character and general events:
You are clear minded and sober, although your humility will prevent you
from showing off these qualities. It may be difficult for you to face even a small problem. You may not be able to keep a confidence. You may tell everything, even your own problems, without
discrimination. This may even affect your sleep.
You may appear hot tempered and
obstinate. Due to this temperament you may face difficulties and obstacles. You may not accept the advice given by others. Your tendency to act solely on the idea of principle may lead you into trouble.
Be cautious of your hot temper as you may end up hurting those that have helped you. There may be
no closeness with your family. Although on the external you may appear proud, you are actually humble. Close association with
drugs or alcohol may lead to the
demise of your
reputation.
3. Education, sources of earning/profession:
You will leave your hometown at a young age. You will earn of your own
efforts. Your sincerity in the work field will lead to rapid
advancement.
Constant change of jobs or professions are noticed . Period up to 50 years of age will be full of trial.
Any stability in your life starts thereafter. Period from 18 years of age to 26 years of age may a be period of trouble. During this period you may undergo financial problems,
or mental troubles. Period from 27th years of age will be a beginning of progress towards stability, even though the pace may be slow,
until your 50th year of age.
4. Family life: There may be limited or no relationship with your siblings or parents. Your spouse will be demanding and insist on staying away from
intoxication. While married life will be completely harmonious, occasional
health problems of your spouse or separation due to some unavoidable circumstances will
greatly affect your mind.
5. Health You will suffer from typical health problems of the human race, cough, colds, etc. |

[BPL note: for MALE nativities: Jyestha's lord Budha is particularly
influential and if Budha occupies one of the marriage houses (7 for
marriage-1, 2nd for marr-2, dharma bhava for marriage-3 etc) that wife
will have enormous effect for the male. Cf.
Ronald Reagan and
Brad
Pitt, Budha = 2nd wife. Had Elvis
Presley
lived longer, his 2nd wife would have been definitive.] |

from BPHS, Ch. 94 -"Remedies from the
Effects of Birth in Jyestha Gandanta" (Ranjan edition, 1995, p. 1035 Vol 2.)
"A girl born in Jyestha Nakshatra
destroys (is the cause of death of) the elder brother of her husband
and a girl born in Vishaka
Nakshatra destroys (is the cause of death of) the younger brother of her
husband.
Therefore a
cow should be given in charity at the time of the marriage of such girls
to wipe out the aforesaid evil effects."
