Lord Indra: The deity of Jyestha Nakshatra

Lord Indra who is associated with the Jyestha nakshatra is one of the sun gods or Adityas. The first one perhaps because in Vedic pantheon, Indra is considered a post or position. Indra is also derived from Indriya or the sense organs.

One way to reach to the position of Indra or the top is control one’s sense organs. Or in other words establish self-control. In real life, it manifests with Jyestha natives reaching high level of self-control. Most of them have that natural ability to restrain themselves.

When Jyestha natives lose their discipline or their self-control, they tend to lose their position in real life along with their reputation. In the ancient stories, many times people have lost their post of Indra as they could not resist the temptations.

This can be seen in Jyestha moon native Tiger Woods chart as well. Most Jyestha natives reach the pinnacle of success through their discipline but later fall in the trappings of success, and wealth. Ultimate or absolute power corrupts and this can be seen in this lunar mansion.

Jyestha natives also face a loss of reputation multiple times in their lives whether or not they deserve it. This has to do with the natural debilitation of moon who is the karaka of popularity and mass appeal. E.g, Jyestha Sun Taylor Swift who also made an album named reputation.

Another reason for Jyestha natives lack of public support is because they are opposite of mediocrity. Mercury takes pride in being skilled, sophisticated, and intelligent. Couple with Mars in Jyestha, these people can stand out in the crowd due to their powerful attitude.

The symbol associated with Jyestha nakshatra is a pair of protective earrings and amulets. In Mahabharata the earrings of Karna which were given to him by Sun god were returned to Indra, the lord of this lunar mansion.
