A fight for power in love

Jyeshtha Nakshatra

Jyeshtha falls entirely in the sign of Scorpio and, as per mythology, is ruled by Lord Indra. Lord Indra as per mythology is the eldest son of Goddess Aditi and Sage Kashyapa. Goddess Aditi rules the Nakshatra of Punarvasu.

The sons of Goddess Aditi are known as the Adityas. They reside in the heavens and the eldest son is Lord Indra.

Since he's the eldest he's also given the responsibility of protecting the heavens. He is the king of heavens. Naturally the first thing about Jyeshtha is leadership and kingship. Lord Indra is mentioned in the Rig Veda many times as someone very powerful, fierce, bold, possessing a thousand powers. He's known for his not only physical strength but also mental prowess. He is the protector of the gods and the destroyer of evil and in the process of protection he's known to have defeated the most demonic of demons.

Venus in Jyeshtha

Venus and Jyeshtha, I don't think, have a lot in common—love and leadership. If you draw a Venn diagram, I'm not sure there's going to be much in common there. Nonetheless, Venus-in-Jyeshtha-like individuals, firstly would like to be a dominant partner in a relationship and may also attract individuals in one's life who want to be a dominant partner. The first thing is in relationships there's always going to be a struggle.

Who is the dominant partner? This power struggle in one's personal life might affect one's relation with one's partner. If this combination falls in one's career-related houses, the native may have this issue with relations the native might have with people at one's workspace. This position can lead to you having a future in finance research.

I think you'll know how to outdo strategically your competition in the money world. The investments you would make based on your research and reason might end up being better or more rewarding than the competition. If Venus in Jyeshtha is in one of your career-related houses, this can lead to a career in investment banking. The most significant thing Venus and Jyeshtha share is creativity and innovation.

Venus-in-Jyeshtha-like individuals can be behind creations which leave others spellbound. They leave others not having an answer to your creation, like an ad campaign which has left the competition with no answer, like those very interesting ads we see from Volvo. If Mercury, for example, is placed in Bharani in your chart alongside Venus in Jyeshtha, this can lead to you having a highly creative way of thinking. Your creativity would not only lie in originality linked to Bharani, but also in how you can gain advantage from your creativity, how your company can rise from that innovation.

Venus signifies all desires on a material plane. Jyeshtha native is also known to be driven by materialistic pleasures. A Venus-in-Jyeshtha individual can fall prey to wanting things which are luxury providing. The native may also want to explore one's personal life, want to be in more than one relationship over one's lifetime and can even become addicted to sexuality as Venus, Scorpio, Mars, Jyeshtha, all of this combined can lead to that.

Altogether, I find this position to be a mixed bag. If Mercury and Mars are not well placed, we will see the native becoming very materialistic. In personal life, the native then becomes very vindictive when one is lied to or one is cheated on, for example. However, if Mercury and Mars are strongly placed, the native would know how to channelise Venus's creative energy better and how to manage relationships better.

A lot would depend on Mercury and Mars's position.
