The meaning of the word ‘Jyeshta’ is elder, senior, first, or the chief. Yogatara of Jyeshta is Antares. Antares is the brightest, most massive, and most evolved stellar member of the nearest OB association. Antares is nearing the end of its lifespan and is expected to explode as a supernova in the next million years. Even in this sense, the name Jyeshtha or elder is appropriate. Jyeshta was the eldest of 27 sisters. She felt betrayed and jealous because Soma, their husband, favoured Rohini, who is younger than her.

#Jyeshta #Nakshatra in #Vedicastrology is one of the Tiryaka Mukhi #Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths curved). In these Nakshatras, things related to roads, dams, the expansion of metals, chariots, boats, etc., can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: An #Earring
The symbol for #Jyeshtha is an earring. This indicates the development of nerves in the ears and the ability to respond to sounds during this period.

Deity: The #Indhra
Indhra is the deity of Jyeshtha Nakshatra. Indhra means the one who controls Indhriya or senses. Indhra is considered a producer of earth and sky. He maintains the earth and the mountains. He is always frightened because someone could ascend to his throne. Getting immersed in music, dance, and the enjoyments of heaven is his weakness.

The yoni animal of Jyeshta Nakshatra is the #male #deer.
A deer is found in a quiet place in the forest and shows youthfulness, and the elegance of life.
When you see a deer, whether male or female, you feel a sense of calmness, beauty and serenity.
Deers reproduce at an extremely fast pace.
They reproduce once every year.
They are not as fast as a rat but reproduce quickly.
The deer is also one of the most killed animals by a car accident.
This can also show a Jyeshtha native usually always gets into car accidents or some kind of fender benders; it cannot be life-threatening unless other yogas are present and the person has completed their counted breaths.
Jyeshtha is perhaps the most lustful and sexual Nakshatra as the buck (the male deer) is ready to produce at any given moment.
The male deer also has antlers, which they use for protection and fight.
They show dominance and their right to mate with the female deer.
Deers can eat around 8-10 pounds of vegetation a day.
Jyeshtha natives can have a big appetite for food and can be fond of non-veg and exotic foods; some even love eating venison and wild game.
Bucks have to travel long distances to find a female deer to mate.
Sometimes they lose muscle mass and weight in the pursuit of sexual encounters.
Jyeshtha natives themselves will travel long distances if they know they will have a sexual encounter.
The symbolism of Jyeshtha is an umbrella, which shows protection and a sign of a royal authority.
The royal members of the family have someone follow them carrying an umbrella to protect them from the harsh sunlight.
It was used during wars on elephants to show the king behind the army, and mostly, it was the royal female of the palace who always had to be in the shade.

The other symbolism of Jyeshtha Nakshatra is the #amulet.
Amulets are usually used in old cultures in India, China, Latin America, and are used for occult and mystical protection to the native.
Indra himself used an amulet to win over his enemies.
Jyeshtha natives go deep into the occult, tantra, and hidden mysteries of the unknown.
Jyeshtha is also connected with yoga, especially Kriya Yoga, because it’s the eldest form of yoga to attain God realization.
Indra, having a thousand eyes, is extremely helpful in yoga as the Crown chakra is the home of the 1000 petal lotus.
Indra is the king of Gods and is considered as the hero amongst the Gods.
His mount is the Airavat elephant, which has 5 trunks.
His weapon is the powerful thunderbolt, #Vajra.
Indra defeated the dragon Vrittasur, which he had to do, having lost his kingdom by disrespecting Guru Brihaspati and having difficulties finding a replacement for the Guru.
The Vajra was made from sage Dadhichi’s bones.
Indra also loves drinking his Soma rasa.
Indra seduced Ahilya, the wife of sage Gautam, when the sage was away.
The sage supposedly cursed Indra to have 1000 vaginas. After doing severe penance, Indra eventually turned the 1000 vaginas into 1000 eyes and got the title of “the 1000 eyed one”.
In Mahabharata, Lord Krishna subdued Indra’s ego by lifting the Govardhan.
Indra was angry with the villagers of Gokul as they refrained from providing him with ritual sacrifices.
In anger, he sent heavy rains and wind, but Krishna protected the villagers by lifting the mount Govardhan and providing them shelter.
Indra admitted defeat and recognized Krishna as the incarnated godhead.
Indra is obsessed with Soma, the juice of immortality.
He always needed Soma in the battleground and had Tvastar make more and more juice for him, which strengthened his body like Arnold.

It is said that Indra leaves blood spatters on the ground during battle, which shows the energy of Indra and Mars together.
If Vishakha Nakshatra shows the lustful Indra and his theme of relationship with rishi’s wife, Jyeshtha shows the extreme lustful nature where Indra simply would kill the rishi and would force his way into the house and make love to his wife.
Jyeshtha is the intensified version of Indra.

It’s the Nakshatra of war, and all is fair in love-&-war.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Indra, who also presides over Vishakha Nakshatra.
Indra is the king of the Gods, who is the champion, and is seen as the one enjoying all the luxuries, drinking Soma, & gambling.
He is the king but also the most insecure, as he is not willing to let go of his throne.
He’s bulky, strong, handsome, with a huge ego and lust for women and Soma.
Whenever you think of a man who is godly, rich, a hero and loves to party, think of #Indra, and mostly that individual would have Vishakha or Jyeshtha Nakshatra in their chart.

Characteristics of Shatabhisha Nakshatra in Astrology
The yoni animal of Shatabhisha Nakshatra is the #female #horse.
A horse has a great balance and fast ability to escape danger; they can sleep standing up or sitting down and reproduce at a very early age.
These are just some basic notes on horses.
A Shatabhisha native wants to finish things fast and as soon as possible.
They are excellent in averting danger, either physical or psychological.
Shatabhisha natives will start their puberty or menstrual cycle and become sexually active early in their life.
Shatabhisha natives find it easiest at any place to take a nap, whether it’s on an uncomfortable plane or in the comfort of their bedroom.
They use sleep as a way to gain energy and simply for pleasure.
Their main aim is to wake up as early as possible so that they can start running in the race of life.
A horse lacks a collarbone; hence, a Shatabhisha native may have weak collarbones.
The most distinctive feature of a horse is his muscles and endurance, which is widely known worldwide, so it’s obvious that a Shatabhisha dominated person has strong muscle tendons and the ability to work for longer and faster than others.
One word that comes to mind is “Horsepower”, which is used in describing the power of a car’s engine.
A horse is an extremely powerful animal that can kill a man with a single kick from his hind legs.
If we compare a horse’s body to a human, the horse’s hind legs are his actual legs, while the front two can be considered as arms.
A Shatabhisha native will have strong legs and thighs to help them run in sports.
The symbolism of this Nakshatra is an empty circle, which represents many things.
It can show an enclosed circle like a group, cult, or community where the individual attains hidden information. It can also represent a black hole as it is empty and dark in the middle.
Basketball is a sport where the ball is put inside the hole.
This symbolism shows that such people want to be within a boundary and surrounded by some protection from the world.
The deity of the Shatabhisha Nakshatra is Lord Varuna, the God of cosmic law, cosmic ocean and sky and is also one of the Adityas.
He rules the mysteries and the underground waters. He is associated with occult abilities, secrets and destiny.
Varuna rules over the West direction. He is the Lord of the underworld and healing as well.
Varuna is believed to have 1000 eyes, which are stars of the night sky. Varuna is also connected with Dakshinayana, the Sun’s movement in the southern celestial hemisphere.
He also carries the pot with the nectar of immortality, Amrit, and has the ability to give life and overcome death.
Varuna & Mitra are often invoked together, and Varuna is considered to be the night Sun or the dark Sun. He rides on crocodiles or makara-like animals.
Interestingly, Vedas also call him an asura. Another story we hear from different scholars is about how from an astral plane yagna, the celestial apsara Urvashi appears.
Mitra and Varuna were overwhelmed by her sexuality and ejaculated.
Their semen containing their sperms falls into a mud-pitcher, where the foetus of Agastya Maharishi is born.
He is born from the same jar as his sibling Vashishtha.
Agastya was born from the sperm of Varuna and Vashishtha from Mitra’s.
A love triangle theme can be generally seen with Anuradha and Shatabhisha natives.
Varuna is also known for carrying a pasa (noose), just like Nirritti and Yama.
Varuna used his pasa randomly to seize unsuspecting victims, while Yama used it to drag the soul of a dying person to hell.
Varuna is known to be equipped with shackles and staff, symbolizing his authority and commanding qualities.
The word Shatabhisaj is formed from two words, Shata (means hundred) and Bheesaj (healers).
Hence the literal meaning of Shatabhisha Nakshatra means 100 healers or 100 physicians.
It demonstrates Varuna’s ability of healing and regaining good health.
Varuna has a harsh, punishing ability along with a merciful and compassionate one.
In one of the stories, Sage Agastya is known to have drunk the entire ocean to expose the demon Kalakeya hiding in the ocean to be killed by the Devas.
Varuna is also supposed to have cursed his father, Kashyapa, along with his mothers, Diti & Aditi, to be born in the Earth plane for having stolen a cow from him to do a yagna.
The father was reborn as Krishna’s father Vasudeva, and his mothers were born as Rohini and Devaki.

Historical Significance of Vishakha Nakshatra in Astrology | Symbolism of Vishakha Nakhsatra in Astrology
The yoni animal of Vishakha Nakshatra is the male tiger. The tiger hunts around 3:30-4:00 am when it’s completely quiet, and certain animals are just starting to wake up.
A Vishakha native will always wake up around this time or at least become aware that they were asleep, and now they are up. Some may not do anything specific, while some may love to have midnight snacks.
Tigers also hunt at night due to their retinal adaptation to darkness; they can see extremely clearly in the dark, so a tiger or tigress can see quite well in the dark.
Vishakha Nakshatra natives can easily adapt to darkness much quicker and faster than others, especially when luminaries like Sun or Moon are in this Nakshatra.
A tiger is an extremely careful animal who is quiet when hunting, and you wouldn’t know what hit you.
He would suddenly launch at you with an attack.
Vishakha natives are also very quiet, but when they are pushed constantly, they will suddenly lunge and attack you, and they don’t just attack to show, but to cause some harm, so you know next time not to provoke them.
A tiger has bangle patches all around its body, which discourages predators and shows that they are present and not to be messed with.
The symbolism of Vishakha Nakshatra is a triumphal arch, potter’s wheel. When a triumphal arch is looked at, the “arch” can be noticed, which is very important in the life of a Vishakha native.
The symbol of an arch is connected with pillars and is considered a place of regal royal statuses like government buildings, palaces, and luxury hotels.
This symbolism represents the return of warriors from a winning battlefield.
In olden days, when a champion or solider came back from winning the battle, they were ceremonially greeted under a triumphant gate.
Whenever a Vishaka native enters a home or a workplace with an arch or pillars, they achieve quick success but suddenly also lose interest in either professional or personal life, depending upon which gates the arch represents.
The other symbolism of Vishakha is the potter’s wheel. There is also a type of wheel that is used in directing ships and yachts, which can also be symbolized by this wheel.
The potter’s wheel shows the creative and artistic side of Vishakha natives. They know how to sculpt something from nothing and how to get a business or venture from thin air.
The wheel goes around, and the pottery is created in the middle. Vishakha natives think the world revolves around them, and they become too self-centered and egotistical.
The pottery wheel is also in a shape of a galaxy on the finger of Vishnu and Krishna, and this again signifies that Vishakha natives think they run and rule the world.
The wheel also represents what goes around, comes around. Vishaka natives are more susceptible in getting quick back karma based on their actions.
Vishakha Nakshatra is the only Nakshatra with two different deities, with each of them having their own individual Nakshatras.
The deities are Indra, who presides over Jyeshtha Nakshatra, and Agni, who rules Krittika Nakshatra. Indra is the king of the Gods, who is the champion, and is seen as the one enjoying all the luxuries, drinking soma, & gambling.
He is the king of Gods, yet he is the most insecure, as he is not willing to let go of his throne and ends up acting out of his insecurities.
Agni is the God of fire who, along with Indra, drinks soma. Agni transfers the offerings from the men to the Gods and back. He is present in all the fire rituals, especially yagnas & havans done by the men to fulfil their desires.
The story goes that Agni was filled with great hunger and needed to burn down the Khandava forest to quench his hunger. However, Takshaka, the serpent king, lived in the forest and was a friend of Indra.
Hence, Indra would bring down rains to prevent Agni from consuming the forest.
After obtaining their divine weapons and the chariot from Varuna, Arjuna and Krishna created a canopy of arrows, which allowed Agni to consume the forest.
Indra was happy that his son, Arjuna, was able to complete his task and blessed him.
Indra also killed Visvarupa, son of Tvashta or Vishwakarma. As a result, Tvashta created Vritra to avenge Visvarupa’s killing, but unfortunately, he too was slayed by Indra with his Vajra, prepared from the bones of Rishi Dadhichi.
Vishakha natives are extremely insecure and cannot take defeat by another person.
They want to be the champion; they want to be the first and will do whatever it takes to achieve it.
Since Vishakha represents two deities, it shows a divide, a division in these natives.
They are always split into decisions, what to do, what not to do, whether to pick this or that, and they usually have a split personality or mood disorder due to such confusion in their life.
Vishakha natives are extremely clever in accomplishing their mission in life.
Vishakha natives can easily penetrate into their enemy’s heart by befriending them, and when they know what hurts the person the most, they will use that against them.
Vishakha Nakshatra is about Indra and Agni and shows that at one point in their life, Vishakha natives find a fascination with fire rituals, raw fire pit, barbeque or even a smoker.
In mythology, Indra is seen being obsessed with Ahilya, the wife of sage Gautam.
He started stalking and pursuing her even after she was married. He tricked his way and transformed himself into her husband’s body, and made love to her.
Ahilya, though knowing something was wrong, surrendered and made love. When her husband walked into the hut and saw them both, he cursed Indra to have his body covered with 1000 yonis (vagina). Ashamed, he went into isolation, and when other Gods found this, they pleaded to Brahma to help Indra.
Brahma went to sage Gautam and requested that a thousand yonis be turned into thousand eyes. The wish was granted.
The above mythology shows the sexual obsession of a Vishakha native. At one point in their life, they will seduce someone else’s spouse and even be in danger of getting caught.
Vishakha natives would be obsessed with porn, constant masturbation, and always having a lustful eye for every beautiful female or male.
The thousand eyes of Indra transforms into the obsession of spying on others, having an obsession with spying on others, especially on women.
Vishakha natives simply always want to bring down the heavens to the Earth. These natives want to have a lavish house, a bar in the house, beautiful paintings.
Most of the time, Vishakha men love painting of classic nude women or dancing women.
This is because, in Indra’s palace, there were dancers, parties, and all the pleasure of the heaven.
Vishakha Nakshatra also deals with secret societies, obsession for learning about the illuminati, freemasons and skull & bone society.
