Jyeshtha

Born with Chandra in Jyeshtha, the eldest's star, ruled over by Indra, you are the one who takes charge — studious, quick, resourceful and bold, with a wit that wins arguments. Budh's star in Mangal's sign makes you tireless and technical: engineering, power and water works, printing and publishing, insurance, surgery, the forces and the courts all suit you. The sharp tongue is your weapon and your weak point; say less than you could. Care for the lower bowel, the arms and the shoulders, and rest before you are forced to.

The four padas

Pada 1 — Dhanu navamsha (Guru); names begin with No (नो). Sharp, quick and versatile; KP names the law, acting, sales, liaison and press work.

Pada 2 — Makara navamsha (Shani); names begin with Ya (या). Fortunate and frank, with a comfortable life; KP names power houses, bridges, marine and mechanical engineering, and the mint.

Pada 3 — Kumbha navamsha (Shani); names begin with Yi (यी). Intense and self-assertive; KP names surgery, mechanical engineering, iron and bridge work, and cost accounting.

Pada 4 — Meena navamsha (Guru); names begin with Yu (यू). Philosophical and prayerful; KP names audit and chartered accountancy, the post and telecommunications — and the last ghatikas here begin Abhukta Moola.

Health

The lower bowel, colon and reproductive organs: piles and fistula; aches in the arms and shoulders. Don't ignore bleeding or pain, keep the diet soft and regular, and see a doctor for anything persistent.
