Jyeshtha - The Eldest
https://arvind-bhagwath.medium.com/myth ... ac027e24c9
Jyeshtha
Jyeshtha Nakshatra is the 18th Nakshatra as per Hindu astrology in Scorpionis constellation.
Jyeshta is ruled by Indra, the ruler of the Gods. Indra is praised as the highest god in 250 hymns of the Rigveda
इन्द्रस्य नु वीर्याणि प्र वोचं यानि चकार प्रथमानि वज्री ।
अहन्नहिमन्वपस्ततर्द प्र वक्षणा अभिनत्पर्वतानाम् ॥१।।
अहन्नहिं पर्वते शिश्रियाणं त्वष्टास्मै वज्रं स्वर्यं ततक्ष ।
वाश्रा इव धेनवः स्यन्दमाना अञ्जः समुद्रमव जग्मुरापः ॥२।।
1. Now I shall proclaim the heroic deeds of Indra, those foremost deeds that the mace-wielder performed:
He smashed the serpent. He bowed out the waters. He split the bellies of the mountains.
2. He smashed the serpent resting on the mountain — for him Tvaṣṭar had fashioned the resounding [sunlike] mace.
Like bellowing milk-cows, streaming out, the waters went straight down to the sea.
— Rigveda, 1.32.1–2
In the Brahmavaivarta Purana, Indra defeats Vritra and releases the waters. In post-Vedic texts, Indra’s importance declines, and he evolves into a minor deity in comparison to others in the Hindu pantheon, such as Shiva, Vishnu, or Devi. In Puranic mention, he becomes a source of nuisance rains sent out of anger with an intent to hurt mankind and Krishna as an avatar of Vishnu, comes to the rescue by lifting Mount Govardhana on his fingertip, and letting mankind shelter under the mountain till Indra exhausts his anger and relents. In the post-Vedic period, he rides a large, four-tusked white elephant called Airavata. The Sangam literature also describes Indhira Vizha (festival for Indra), the festival for want of rain, celebrated for one full month starting from the full moon in Chitrai and aspects of Indra as a deity are cognate to other Indo-European gods; they are thunder gods such as Thor, Perun, and Zeus who share parts of his heroic mythologies, act as king of gods, and all are linked to “rain and thunder”.

Jyeshta “the eldest” 16.40 to 30.00 Scorpio
Symbol: a circular amulet, umbrella, earring
Deity: Indri, chief of the gods
Stars: Antares is the heart of the Scorpion. Antares means “rival of Mars” and is a military, political star giving a drive for power and honors, but with possible sudden loss.
Mythology: Jyeshta was the eldest of the 27 sisters and felt betrayed and jealous when their husband Soma favored the younger sister Rohini.
Indications: There is a sense of betrayal and abandonment indicated by the myth. These people have a sense of seniority and superiority due to wisdom, age and experience, but are very protective of themselves and their loved ones. At times they can be arrogant and hypocritical, due to their low self-esteem. But as the patriarch or matriarch of the family, they run the show and know how to deal with wealth and power. Their lives are not easy and some may experience hardship and poverty. They are reclusive, secretive with few friends. Their profound and inventive minds provoke them to seek the deeper meaning of life. They possess hidden occult powers.

JYESHTA NAKSHATRA: A COMPLETE GUIDE
Luke Vanderlinden
Jun. 15, 2020
Overview
Every nakshatra has its own set of fixed attributes. This includes planetary ruler, nakshatra group, zodiac sign, deity, symbol, and power. The features of Jyeshta are below:
Sanskrit Name: ज्येष्ठा (Jyeshta) in Sanskrit means “the eldest,” indicating wisdom, leadership, and excellence.
Planetary Ruler: Mercury. This planet is associated with the intellect, literature, logic, artistic expression, and commerce.
Nakshatra Group: Monstrous. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Jyeshta is a monstrous nakshatra. People in this group are generally intuitive, strong-willed, and assertive. They may be prone to anger and violence.
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio. Scorpios are intense, reclusive, and bursting with energy.
Deity: Indra. In Vedic theology, Indra is the king of svarga and chief of the demigods. He enjoys life in great opulence, and he is a servant of Vishnu.
Symbol: Umbrella. This represents refinement, beauty, and culture.
Power: To ascend. Persons born under the star of Jyeshta have an aristocratic bearing. They are able to uplift those around them by creating a progressive atmosphere.
Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Jyeshta are No (नो), Ya (या), Yee (यी), and Yu (यू). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.
Strengths
Jyeshta natives are self-sufficient and content. They do not like to impose on others, and through their ingenuity they are able to easily provide for their own needs. Others perceive them as resourceful and highly competent, and for this reason they are seen as qualified leaders.
Those born under the star of Jyeshta possess a unique power. They act with precision and confidence, and they can be effective in whatever task they choose take up. They often use their talents to help others and to engage in noble, charitable works.
You are brilliant and wise. You excel in creative pursuits and may be a gifted writer or musician. You find joy in solitude and you lead a contemplative life.
Jyeshta Careers
Persons born in Jyeshta can do well in leadership roles or in careers that engage their creativity.
Some ideal professions include:
Musician, performer, or entertainer
Manager, CEO, or thought leader
Academic or independent researcher
Non-profit founder or charity worker
Weaknesses
Jyestha natives sometimes suffer from a superiority complex. Due to their high standards of living and their refined mode of thinking, they may look down on others. They can be harsh in speech and even violent when angry. Unless you learn to manage your anger and frustration, you will be perpetually over-stressed, and this can result in protracted illness. Practicing meditation can be a powerful tool for combatting anger and other mental health issues.
Those born in Jyeshta can be restless, always seeking something new and stimulating. They may have difficulty finding peace and satisfaction in the ordinary activities of daily life. At the same time they crave the excitement of social activity, they are somewhat awkward when it comes to interpersonal dealings. This may lead to periods of loneliness and depression.
You are manipulative, impatient, and difficult to get along with. You may not have a very robust moral compass, and you may resort to unethical acts when it suits your purpose. However, by keeping one or two genuine friends or mentors in whom you can confide and from whom you can receive good advice, you will be better able to make it through challenging times.

Jyeshta’s Four Quarters (Padas)
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters, also known as padas, of 3:20 degrees each. These quarters are based on a 1/9th divisional chart, known in Sanskrit as navamsha.
The moon’s position at your time of birth determines the quarter in which you are born.
First Quarter (16:40-20:00 degrees Scorpio): Sagittarius. You may be a famous and well-liked personality. You are a powerful leader and orator. However, you may be overconfident.
