Jyeṣṭhā - The SECRETIVE One

Jyeṣṭhā means 'eldest', referring to someone having acquired skills and secret knowledge. As an elder, this sign can sometimes feel overlooked and become bitter, although any bitterness can be used to propel one to even greater heights. It is ruled by the chief of the gods who likes to stay in control. Its symbols are a talisman and umbrella, both symbolizing being initiated into secret knowledge and the protection it offers. ​

When the Moon transits Jyeṣṭhā, it's a good day for overcoming weaknesses, surgery, and secret activities.
