"Indra desired, "May I gain supremacy among
the gods." One who makes the appropriate offering to Indra, to Jyestha,
gains supremacy among his peers.
Those born under Jyestha seek to be the best and the highest but
on their own, by their own effort, as individuals, not by relying on
others.
They often do their best when left alone."
~~ David
Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra
Jyestha, for
females:
"... independent and
self-sufficient, capable, dignified, and proud. If she is not born in a
wealthy or well-to-do family, she will herself become wealthy through her own
efforts. In such case, her family will be dependent on her and she will be
recognized as the head of the family.
She is careful and canny regarding money
matters.
Being proud, she has a tendency to dramatize herself and secretly
glories in being the pivot or centre around which her family affairs revolve.
She will, at some time in her life, occupy a very influential position and be
greatly respected."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu
Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 98.

Jyestha, for
males:
"A dark and sensitive nature ...
superficially religious but are hypocrites at heart. On the surface they are
respectable, law abiding citizens, ostensible church goers but secretly
their morals are loose and their tempers passionate.
Smooth, oily, and suave to all
appearances, they carry in their hearts schemes and thoughts which might not
stand the light of day."

Barbara's
viewpoint on Jyestha:
Anuradha's alliance-building negotiations
have become prolonged. The need for a senior leader to bring the conflicted
factions together. One individual with a strong vision will arise. This one
knows, or believes that they know, the true path toward peace.
This one speaks
loudly, with calm seniority. This one is the self-appointed authority. This one claims
to receive direction from the Divine. This
is Jyestha, the respected Elder.

"Remedies from the
Effects of Birth in Jyestha Gandanta"
(Ranjan edition, 1995, p. 1035 Vol 2.)
10
"A girl born in Jyestha Nakshatra
destroys (is the cause of death of) the elder brother of her husband
and
a girl born in Vishaka
Nakshatra destroys (is the cause of death of) the younger brother of her
husband.
Therefore a
cow should be given in charity at the time of the marriage of such girls
to wipe out the aforesaid evil effects."
