Marriage and Compatibility
Jyeshtha belongs to the Rakshasa gana and Adi nadi. In matching, a partner from the same nadi (Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu and Uttara Phalguni and others) creates Nadi dosha unless an exception applies. Rakshasa gana matches best with Rakshasa.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Jyeshtha starts life in the Mercury Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
