Jyeshta is positioned from 16°40'- 30° Sidereal Scorpio.

It can also be found in Tropical Sagittarius.

Jyeshta means "The Eldest" or "The Chief". It's called The Elder Star. So, this Nakshatra represents maturity, power, and superiority. Jyeshta seeks to be robust and in control. They are protective and have a soft spot for the underdog. Everything for them must be done efficiently and routinely. They like productivity and dislike incompetence.

An earring, talisman, or umbrella symbolizes Jyeshta. The earring is a symbol of supreme power. It used to be that only people with power and prominence could afford to own earrings.

The talisman is a symbol of luck and protection. These people can have a lot of luck in their lives. Scorpio has the willpower to bounce back from challenges. They go through a lot of transformations but don't shy away from conflict. These individuals can also be protective towards others.

The umbrella is also a symbol of protection and status. Along with this, the umbrella represents secrecy. Jyeshta people can achieve success through covert actions. They have to be cautious of scandal. Money could be hidden away or they could have secret banking accounts. Scorpio is a very conservative and mysterious sign.

Jyeshta people can also be interested in uncovering hidden truths. They have curious and probing minds. Mercury is the Mahadasha lord of this Nakshatra. Jyeshta can see through lies and use their penetrative minds to get to the bottom of a situation. Scorpio is the sign of digging deep below the surface. So, you probably shouldn't trust them to keep a secret.

The ruling deity is Indra. Indra is the king of the gods and the god of lightning. Similar to this, Jyeshta seeks to be in a position of authority. Sun rules the 10th House for Scorpio. So, there is a superiority complex. If you threaten their sense of power, they can become ruthless and even violent.

Even if these people are the youngest among siblings, they act as the eldest. Sometimes traumatic childhood experiences force them to mature quickly. However, they must overcome their insecurities around status and power. Despite their tough exterior, they are devoted and loving deep down. Scorpio is a water sign after all.

Due to the influence of Mercury, Jyeshta people can be fond of learning and traveling. Their curiosity takes them to foreign lands. Sometimes their traumatic childhood experiences can also take them far from home. They are also insightful, skillful, and talkative. They can have good skills in business and handling money.

Jyeshta has the power to rise above perils and to conquer the subconscious. It's also phrased as the power to rise, overcome, conquer, and gain courage in battle. As I mentioned earlier, Scorpio is a sign of transformation. So, these people possess the will to overcome challenges and heal their insecurities.

This gives them the ability to gain power over themselves instead of other people. The true power of Scorpio is self-control. They want to fix their powerful emotions. This is because losing control of their feelings makes them powerless and vulnerable. Huge emotional reactions and impulsive behavior lead to others holding power over them.

Often Scorpio seeks to control others by being sexy, mysterious, dogmatic, and overpowering. Yet, this is only a survival mechanism. The true power is over themselves. When they can conquer their demons and grow through changes, they will feel what true power is. Then they make great leaders.
