Please refer to the introductory article here – https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/AscendantNakshatraandLifePattern to understand the theme and purpose of this series.


So, now we will try to understand that what will happen if Jyeshtha Nakshatra is someone’s Ascendant Nakshatra and how it is going to impact the life pattern of person.


So, let’s cover this article under the following points –


Ascendant Nakshatra – There is something called the Ascendant Nakshatra. It is based on the degree of Ascendant (please find introduction of all the Nakshatras here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/intronaksh)


If Ascendant shows the life path then Ascendant Nakshatra will show the pattern of life. It shows the activities we follow throughout life as pattern.


Jyeshtha - Jyeshtha Nakshatra is from 16.40 degree of Scorpio to 30.00 degree of Scorpio. So, Jyeshtha Nakshatra is in front of Mrigshira Nakshatra from 23.20 degree to 30.00 degree of Scorpio. It is a nakshatra of feeling better or higher than others. It represents orderly and justifiable people. It is the most closely connected nakshatra with occult and mystic.

Effect of Jyeshtha Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Jyeshtha Nakshatra represents high authority, recognition and fame. It also represents people who are very fair and justifiable. It is nakshatra of people who can be into mysticism. They can be good at people management. So, these can be traits and life pattern of people who have Jyeshtha as ascendant nakshatra.


Ascendant Nakshatra Lord’s Position – Now, as ascendant shows our life path and ascendant lord’s position in chart shows the direction of life path; likewise, ascendant nakshatra shows our life pattern and position of ascendant nakshatra lord in chart shows that in which area of life, the life pattern will be exhibited.


Like, we have discussed all above traits and characteristics of Jyeshtha Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Jyeshtha lord Mercury is placed in a Scorpio Ascendant's chart, person may get Jyeshtha’s and Mercury’s results as life pattern. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Mercury is placed in chart.


Here, going through Mercury’s position in each house/sign can be repetitive or monotonous. So, for understanding the end result, we can rely on the Concept of Who, How, What & Where - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/whww.


“Where” is the House where event is happening.


“What” is the Sign which is indicating towards event.


“Who” is the Planet who is bringing the event; and


“How” is the quality of event which depends on nature and dignity of planet.


For example, Mercury in 11th house/Virgo for a Scorpio ascendant chart would show that Native would get that high authority and recognition while working in large organizations and MNCs. Person can be working with lots of analysis and details. Person can also be an entrepreneur and gaining his authority through his business and communication etc. They can be very clever or perfect with their communication. As Mercury is exalted, person can be feeling happy with overall results of Mercury.


Whereas Mercury in 5th house/Pisces for Scorpio ascendant chart shows that this person’s life pattern can be gaining authority through educational field, spiritual field or in any creativity related work. They can also be working in financial matters or stock markets. They can be very creative and skillful but at the same time, in personal life, they can be very imaginative and impractical. They can be taking decisions on the basis of dreamy approach and utopia. As Mercury is debilitated, person can be feeling dissatisfied with living results of Mercury and 5th house.


Final example, Mercury in 2nd house/Sagittarius shows that person can be gaining authority and recognition through his higher education or ability to teach, guide and counsel people. They can also gain recognition through family lineage. If Mercury is in Mula Nakshatra then it will be perfect case of someone going in mystical field. This also shows a person who can be highly educated and can gain through spreading his knowledge by teaching/preaching etc. As Mercury is in enemy sign, person can be feeling frustrated about the results, especially results of living significances.


Like this, we can understand about how and where the ascendant nakshatra lord is exhibiting the results of life pattern. In further articles of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern, I will cover other house/sign positions which would help us in learning interpretation of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern in a more holistic way.


Dignity – As always, Dignity of the Planet has the highest say. If Mercury is in exaltation (Virgo), Friendly Signs (Taurus & Libra), Own Signs (Gemini) and Neutral Signs (Leo), there is a potential that person can get results without much difficulties or obstacles. When Mercury is in Enemy Signs (Cancer, Sagittarius, Aries & Scorpio), Saturnine Signs (Capricorn & Aquarius) and Debilitated Sign (Pisces) then things can be difficult to achieve and extra hard work is needed to be done.



Conclusion – As I understand, this is how we can understand as to how ascendant nakshatra can setup the life pattern for people with Jyeshtha Nakshatra as the Ascendant Nakshatra.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
