The Lord: Art Deco and Jyeshta

Finding Jyeshta in the classic Art Deco Gypsy cards published by Piatnik in 1936. Finding ADG through Jyeshta and other nakshatras.

Jyeshta, the lunar mansion/ constellation found in the last part of Scorpio. The "Scorpio Sting." 18th nakshatra ( 16th nakshatra according to the system I follow).

Jyeshta is best understood by studying Mercury as astrologers have said Jyeshta acts like Mercury. Jyeshta's deity id Indra, the King of the Gods in Vedic mythology. Stories of Indra describe Jyeshta and how Jyeshta is seen in everyday lives.

Jyeshta, a fierce nakshatra is about obtaining power to overcome oppression. Natives of Jyeshta are typically person's of power. Many successful politicians have Jyeshta strong in their chart. Jyeshta has a reputation for manipulation, trickery and cunningness. The qualities can be seen as negative. These qualities can also be seen as positive as these are qualilities that can be used for the greater good, to help those disadvantaged overcome oppression amongst many, many other things.

Of course we see Jyeshta in this card: the medals and sash suggest a dignitary of some sort displaying his dominance and power. Typical of Jyeshta, we see someone studying the power of "the Lord." Perhaps this person is simply observing the power. Perhaps the person is questioning the power. If typical of Jyeshta, this person will attempt to challenge, even take away the power of "the Lord."

Jyeshta natives are often politicians, successful spouses, CEOs, and even leaders of organized crime. The Godfather's Miichael Corleone is a perfect example of Jyeshta as seen in western culture.

Jyeshta is useful for many healing practices, one being "black magic" which to me is about destroying poisons, enemies and anything opposed to personal freedom. Jyestha can be used to destroy drug addiction, for one example.

The Art Deco Gypsy deck is a classic beautiful deck for mindfulness as well as many other practices. The ADG is a great way to find nakshatras in daily life.

Namaste.
