JYESHTA

Jyeshta (The Eldest) is one of the Nakshatras (lunar mansions) of Vedic astrology. A
hanging earring is the symbol for this Nakshatra found from Scorpio 16°40’ to 30°.
Considered a good time to act more “mature,” people will find it easier to build a bet-
ter support network of their friends, but may run into family tensions and/or be more
scheming. Indra, chief of the gods, presides, and the planet Mercury rules over Jyeshta.
