Jyeshtha Nakshatra: Name Letters, Padas and Nature

Jyeshtha padas and name letters (naam akshar)

Each nakshatra has four padas (quarters) of 3°20′. A child born with the Moon in a pada traditionally gets a name starting with its syllable. For Jyeshtha:

Jyeshtha nature

Protective, capable and senior-minded, often taking charge. You carry responsibility well but may guard your feelings closely.

Rakshasa gana natives are said to be strong-willed, independent and fearless; the name describes intensity, not bad character.

Dasha at birth

Born with the Moon in Jyeshtha, your Vimshottari dasha begins with Mercury, whose full period is 17 years. How much of it is left at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra.

In Kundli matching

Gana, yoni and nadi come from the nakshatra and count for 6, 4 and 8 of the 36 points in Ashtakoota matching. The same nadi for both partners is the one traditionally avoided.

Match two kundlis

Name letters follow the traditional Avakahada chakra. Spellings of a few letters vary between regions.
