Career

The native would achieve extraordinary things in life, would fight challenges in life with great fortitude, would honor one's word, and would not shy away from responsibilities. The Jyestha native would occupy the senior-most position in the society (Recall, Lord Indra is the eldest son of Goddess Aditi & Sage Kashyapa). So a high-ranking government officer, an entrepreneur/business leader, a military commander, a politician, a union leader, a sportsperson, a community leader, etc. are seen from Jyestha. The native would be driven by the materialistic pleasures of life. One could even resort to using drugs given the mythology of Lord Indra's overreliance on Soma (nectar of immortality). Lord Indra has been depicted to be a victim of ego. And so, the native, blinded by success, would fail to acknowledge the contribution of others to one's success. The native may fall prey to envy, may misuse one’s authority, and turn vindictive.
