Characteristics of a Jyesṭā born
Jyesta means 'the eldest one', the senior most, the chief one, more excellent, the preferred one or most glorious. The naksatra shows maturity, experience and skills. The person born under this star is full of luster and splendor.
The chief deity is Indra, the King of the Gods and protector of heroes. He is the divine warrior and 'dragon slayer.' He demonstrates the power of truth. Indra is known for his daring nature, courage and power. Jyesṭā allows us to reach the summit of our personal powers, but it requires great courage and effort
Born under Jyesta, you are a combination of power, independence and combativeness. One can have brilliant analytical abilities here and achieve an elevated position in life, with the most dedicated skills or sometimes creative genius.
The Jyesṭā-born has excellent physical stamina and good physical appearance. Your qualities make you look very proud, but the facts are actually different. Some desire seclusion and are not prone to have friends because of their secretive side. Be careful of hypocrisy. Brought about by internal struggles regarding one's self image and self-esteem, it does not allow you to be genuine with others. You may often try to behave differently from who you are inside. Some arrogance can show up at times, and irritable nerves need to be soothed through yoga practices, or taking time to walk in nature, breathing fully.
You show interests in being self-employed and a manager. You may be a military leader, musician, dancer, detective, engineer, doctor, surgeon or a worker in funeral home.
Energy Centers and Scorpio
Maṇipūraka Cakra - the fire of transformation
There are 7 major energy centers in our body, called cakras in Sanskrit. They are directly connected to our emotions and impact different aspects of our personality and the way we relate to ourselves, others, and to Existence.
Each planet resonates with a particular energy center in the body. The fiery energy of Mars is connected to manipūraka cakra located in the navel region. Its energy can sometimes imbalance the cakra, especially when it is channeled towards worrying! Manipuraka flowers when you stop worrying about your worries.
lt is a proven fact that cakras correspond and affect the functioning of specific glands that constitute the body's endocrine system. This is why worrying imbalances your system, and creates chronic diseases in the long run. Your body and mind are very deeply rooted in our consciousness!
To keep manipūraka balanced, bringing awareness into your mind and irritations, practicing meditation and yoga will benefit you. Wearing coral stone can also contribute to maintain your balance.
Also, Mars stands for the fire which produces heat in the body, a warm temper and an attitude of intensity in life. Mars gives courage and strength to evolve in life. Therefore, it is associated with transformation on all levels: for example, jaṭarāgni is the inner fire through which food is converted into substances which can be assimilated by the body. Inner strength and the power to digest can be maintained by eating slowly and with awareness.
A balanced maṇipūraka cakra will confer a good digestion and physical well-being.
