They are confident, dynamic, sexy, passionate, loving and full of compassion. These soulful people are full of warmth and love which are enough to render security to Jyeshta’s restless mind.

Jyeshta Nakshatra- Jyeshta Nakshatra (77%)

Having the same Nakshatra traits, Jyeshta connects well with their same Nakshatra partner. They share a subtle understanding of love, intimacy and passion owing to identical emotions. However, as per Vedic traditions, one Jyeshta native cannot be the best match for another Jyeshta Nakshatra native. They have a complex spiritual remit and if they marry they may live a painful and troubled life. Thus, it is always advisable to take a love marriage or arrange marriage consultation from experts when two similar Nakshatras marry.

Least Compatible Nakshatras for Jyeshta Nakshatra

Jyeshta Nakshatra- Ardra Nakshatra (14%)

Ardra is the worst match for Jyeshta Nakshatra males and females. As per Nakshatra's point of view, Ardra and Jyeshta only bring out the worst in each other. In the marriage, Jyeshta appears as a dominant and aggressive partner. They assume that they can deal with the aftermath and hence take actions that are not appropriate at times. However, Ardra can react exactly the opposite of what Jyeshta expects from them. They may turn violent and burst out with anger at their disordered behavior. Both Jyeshta and Ardra can be self-destructive. Thus, they need to be very careful when they form relationships or marry. It is advisable for them to keep a check over their extreme behavior. 

Jyeshta Nakshatra- Punarvasu Nakshatra (22%)

Jyeshta Nakshatra's compatibility with Punarvasu is a little better than Ardra. They feel attracted to each other initially but with time they understand each other and start getting distant. In love, Punarvasu desires a simple and smooth relationship. They don’t love their Jyeshta partner the way Jyeshta expects. On the flip side, Jyeshta enjoys Punarvasu’s attitude towards relationships, however, they find it hard to handle that their partner doesn’t love them. They try to control Punarvasu and manipulate the relationship. In turn, Punarvasu becomes ignorant of Jyeshta and leaves them in the middle. For solving relationship problems and exploring marriage prospects, it is advised to take live astrology consultation that offers instant and easy solutions for love, marriage and relationships. 

Jyeshta Nakshatra- Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra (26%)

Purva Bhadrapada is another less compatible Jyeshta matching star. Their compatibility is weak and they encounter various hurdles in their relationship. As per Nakshatra Astrology, Jyeshta introduces Purva Bhadrapada to the world of passion and romance. They express love without meaning and weave a web of illusion around Purva Bhadrapada. In turn, Purva Bhadrapada feels enchanted by Jyeshta and gives into them easily. Jyeshta, however, feels disdainful with the nature of Purva Bhadrapada. They feel hurt and pay a very high price emotionally and spiritually in this alliance.
