Jyeshtha in a birth chart
Your birth nakshatra (janma nakshatra) is the one the Moon was in when you were born. With Jyeshtha, the Moon is in Scorpio (Vrishchika), and Mercury rules the first dasha of your life in the Vimshottari system, which is why your Mahadasha sequence starts with Mercury. In Kundli matching, its Rakshasa gana, Deer yoni and Adi nadi count for 18 of the 36 points.
