Welcome to Part 2 of the "Wife Material" Zodiac Sign series where we look at the astrological statistics regarding women who are in long-term heterosexual relationships, as well as the definition of the term "wife material" itself.
Here is Part 1, in case you have not already read it: The "Wife Material" Zodiac Sign- Part 1
In order to determine which placements bestow upon women not only a blessed sexual and marital union, but also an innate understanding of the feminine principle, I gathered the birth data on 119 women in long-term marriages/relationships (15+ years). These relationships either still exist or have only ever ended with the death of one of the spouses. I purposely included a sizable number of celebrities in my analysis, as the temptations and decisions that come with being extremely wealthy and glamorous add a level of difficulty that most people do not encounter in their daily lives.
Note: This research is based on sidereal Vedic astrology. Western/tropical placements, principles and interpretations do not apply to it.
Stay tuned for the research on the "Husband Material" zodiac signs
In Part 2, we are going to explore the following-
The top Ascendant placement- Nakshatra and Sign
The Fierce Goddess
The highest ascendant placement is Jyeshtha (16°40′ to 30° Scorpio).
Because of the clear mythological similarities between Jyeshtha and Mula, the second-highest nakshatra, we can associate them.
The Mahavidya connected to Ketu, the ruler of Mula nakshatra, is called Dhumvati. Similar imagery depicts Jyeshtha and Dhumvati as frightening, decrepit, ugly ladies with crows serving as their vahanas.
Both Jyeshtha and Dhumvati symbolize pure yin energy in the absence of solar influence, which results in an untidy look, a lack of beauty, etc. Both are widows who are connected to sorrow, poverty, arguments, and gloom.
Dhumvati is said to be the grandmother spirit and the elder form of Kali. Jyeshtha is associated with Kali as well.
Jyeshtha is the occult and the 8th house of Scorpio. Mula is the final Ketu-ruled nakshatra, the apex of the occult and Ketu.
A gandanta knot lies between Jyeshtha and Mula.
While some contemporary astrologers believe that Ketu is exalted in Jyeshtha because of its austere, occult, heated, and dry qualities, others believe that it is exalted in Mula.
An even more important question is raised by such horrifying iconography- how do these destructive nakshatras bless femininity in marital unions?
The results of this research appear to refute the traditional belief that the Jyeshtha and Mula nakshatras, with their frightening associations of various ruling forces, cause strife in marriages. Mars was the highest planet in the ascendant in Part 1 of this series, which showed a similar pattern. Let us examine the top ascendant nakshatra.
Jyeshtha Nakshatra
We shall start by delving into the myth of the goddess Jyeshtha. She is said to be the elder, uglier sister-wife of Rohini (the 2nd house/Taurus), the beautiful Lakshmi. As the first wife, Jyeshtha was compelled to live in polyamory, which made her vulnerable to feelings of jealously and insecurity. Her disheveled, unattractive look serves as a metaphor for how a younger, more attractive sister-wife will always make the first wife feel "ugly" in contrast.
This is where the myth that Scorpios are possessive and jealous comes into play. Mars, the warrior, rules Scorpio, signifying that women with Jyeshtha nakshatra are highly competitive in practically every aspect of life, but especially with other women. They have a penchant for wanting to be the greatest in their partner's eyes because of their competitive drive and so naturally feel a sense of possessiveness and jealousy more than most women. Their relationships are consciously rooted with a deep sense of exclusivity due to innately understanding the devastating impact of polyamory, however, I will also discuss the shadow side to this in a while.
In a positive, solar way, this leads to a profound intensity and "ride or die" mentality when it comes to relationships. This agressive and competitive temperament stems from Jyeshtha's ruling deity, Indra, the God of War. This exhibits an ever-changing sense of fashion, beauty, artistic aptitude, and proficiency, endowed by Jyeshtha's erratic mahavidya, Matangi—the tantric manifestation of Saraswati.
Alyssa Milano (Jyeshtha Ascendant) talks about divorce 'not being an option' in her marriage.
Matangi holds immense power over the written word and essentially 'reads between the lines'. Jyeshtha's earthy, sexual, and Martian rulership combined with this results in women who are adept at nonverbal seduction—that is, pointing arrows without really pointing them in a direct or provocative manner. The piercing 'bedroom eyes' and acutely arched eyebrows of Jyeshtha's physiognomy convey her continual flirty and sensuous state of being.
Like all other nakshatras ruled by Mercury, Jyeshtha sees flirting as a game. Mercury in myth is a little boy who likes trickery, manipulation, and playing. Jyeshtha women enjoy this type of 'edging' and provocation by, at times, endlessly flirting with most men they come across, with the relationship never really going anywhere, and the men ending up pining for them. They find amusement in this kind of early stages of a romantic exchange, when the dating and flirting are at their peak. They enjoy dating and light social interactions with many men because of their generally non-committal nature, which helps them automatically close-off to most male influence. A woman needs to be in this particular state to purify her energy in order to find a worthy male partner. In a union, this helps them stay in girlfriend energy even after they have been married for a long time. Most relationships struggle to keep the early-dating, honeymoon phase ablaze, but Jyeshtha women genuinely enjoy the art of seduction, sometimes just for the sake of observing and enjoying men's reactions, keeping them on their toes.
Sometimes this manifests as a desire to compete with their husbands—that is, to playfully dispute, banter and butt heads. These are playful challenges that add another level of interplay to the Mars-Mercury (war-play) dynamic; they are by no means serious, intense competitions.
As we have already covered in Part 1, sexuality is a key component for women in order to cultivate femininity, as Chitra shares the top position for the Moon nakshatra. Part of the Mars-ruled Chitra nakshatra is situated in the Mercury-ruled Virgo sign. If we reverse the nakshatra and sign rulership, Mercury-ruled Jyeshtha is in the sign of Scorpio, which is ruled by Mars. Additionally, it is interesting to note that, like Dhanishtha and Chitra, Jyeshtha belongs to the servant caste. This results in a similar energy emerging, but it does so in a much more lighthearted and impressionable manner, emphasizing symbolic foreplay over actual intercourse. This encompasses the process of becoming attractive to attract men's attention, developing seductive skills, feminine communication, humor, and a dash of calculativeness. While Mars is associated with sexual energy itself and the root chakra, Mercury is associated with speech, communication, and all detail-oriented activity; it is related to the throat chakra. Mercury stands for the way that one presents and "communicates" their sexual energy (Mars). In a brand with a product, Mercury is the marketing that helps the product look better and increase sales. Because Mercury is associated with all the aspects that one uses to "sell" oneself as more sexually desirable—beauty, fashion, cosmetics, voice, gestures, motions, etc.—it may be a very helpful energy for women.
Scorpio's 8th house is symbolic of all things mysterious, and women with Jyeshtha nakshatra tend to be quite secretive. They take great delight in discovering feminine secrets and enjoy maintaining an air of mystery around their femininity. Jyeshtha women take pleasure in the fact that men are unaware of minor nuances, unlike many other women who become unhappy when their male partners fail to notice their new attire or hairdo. They would rather keep these enigmatic beauty secrets to themselves while they watch men get enthralled, never understanding why. Many Mercurial women like the astonished expressions on their partners' faces when they first see the women after dressing up. The woman enters as a plain-Jane and exits looking put together. As their solar counterpart, men tend to be less meticulous than women, a fact supported by numerous studies. Because men are not typically detail-oriented, anything that they do not consciously understand has influence over them, giving women psychological control over men. Mercury women are very good at planning and calculating tiny things like this.
Catherine Zeta Jones (Jyeshtha Ascendant) talks about the importance of having separate bathrooms
These complex, mercurial domains encompass makeup, styling, and beauty since these disciplines entail the thoughtful, deliberate application of features such as colors, shadows, lines, etc. Men's inability to distinguish between different makeup shades, to recognize when a woman is wearing makeup or not, and other related issues are frequent topics of conversation among women online. When it comes to these aspects of beauty, Mercury women also enjoy staying current with the ever changing trends. A woman who possesses the Mercurial power recognizes this advantage and skillfully employs it to draw in men and maintain their interest in her, even after years of being in a relationship with them.
Women pursuing men is a prevalent problem that causes most relationships to fail. Women aspire to have a man focus on them, whereas men aspire to be independent, which is why many women end up chasing men. A woman will naturally no longer feel the need to chase a man when he focuses his energy and attention on her, and this also allows a man to feel more autonomous. Though they may be secretly yearning for a man, Jyeshtha women usually divert their attention from seeking men in favor of some secret plan, ulterior motive, or "playing games." This keeps the relationship amicable by directing the man's attention on her more frequently. They attest to taking regular spaces in a relationship since they are aware of the attraction that holds, as demonstrated in the video above. As was covered in Part 1, Mars women concentrate on self-care, naturally giving way to the men; however, Mercury women do this consciously in order to exert control over men. Their ability to engage in this kind of lighthearted "manipulation" stems from Mercury's historical associations with marketing, deceit, astral seduction and occult powers.
Nonetheless, Jyeshtha women frequently manage to maintain their objectivity while displaying these cunning traits. To test a man's strength, they frequently make things up, lie, act foolish, get too theatrical, etc. This is something that Jyeshtha women do with other men as well as with their lovers. They enjoy causing chaos because they are the culmination of the second tier of the zodiac wheel, which is tamasic, materialistic, and chaotic.
This brings up the tamasic, coquette aspects of flirting with men. Jyeshtha women occupy themselves by accepting 'arrows' from men.
Jyeshtha women seem to have an odd obsession with polygamy in their partnerships. While actively attempting to shun and denounce it, they unconsciously yearn for polygamy. Anything we writhe around in an attempt to escape, our obsession eventually takes over our minds and, ultimately, us. Even though they are fervently devoted to their partners, they frequently innocently fantasize about other men and love creating mayhem. They also egotistically relish these advances from other men. They enjoy flirting subtly with other men while they are in relationships or the men are committed to someone else. They are adept at deceiving males into thinking they are being platonic. They attempt to push boundaries and determine how far they can go without being accused of "cheating" or "manstealing". They take pleasure in the fact that their own partner as well as other men in partnerships are enamored with them. Similar to Alakshmi, they are always trying to outdo others, and frequently compare themselves to other women and their spouses' ex-lovers. Even when it comes to getting attention from men, they want to succeed and be the best at it. Subsequently, this may sometimes manifest as them literally entering into polyamorous partnerships or beginning them with a fatalistic outlook.
The film Chloe (left), which stars Julianne Moore, Amanda Seyfried, and Liam Neeson as the three main Jyeshtha actors, is rife with Jyeshtha themes, including betrayal, seduction, jealousy, and obsession. The movie's opening sequence, though, caught my attention especially because it has so many of the art-of-seduction components I have discussed in this blog post. The opening monologue features Amanda Seyfried (Jyeshtha Sun), who talks about how she knows the subtleties of seduction and how to maintain a man's interest in her sexually. She talks about how men are affected powerfully by her touches, words, attire, etc., which is an obvious representation of Jyeshtha.
Films portraying infidelity or compulsive love frequently feature actors or directors with Jyeshtha nakshatra or with the opposing nakshatra on the axis- Rohini. Some other examples of these movies include-
Unfaithful- starring Richard Gere (Jyeshtha Moon)
Fatal Attraction- starring Anne Archer (Jyeshtha Moon) and written by James Dearden (Rohini Moon)
One Night Stand- starring Tanuj Virvani (Jyeshtha Moon)
The End of the Affair- starring Julianne Moore (Jyeshtha Sun) and directed by Neil Jordan (Rohini Moon)
Fear- starring Mark Walhberg (Rohini Moon), Alyssa Milano (Jyeshtha Ascendant)
Leave Her to Heaven- starring Cornel Wilde (Jyeshtha Moon), Gene Tierney (Rohini Ascendant)
Women frequently become too plentiful from the energy they receive from their masculine partners and run out of room to receive. Additionally, this causes them to change their polarity and give to the man instead. Jyeshtha as the older wife is also the experienced wife and knows how to manoeuvre a relationship, and consequently avoids this. Generally speaking, the energies of Goddess Jyeshtha, also known as Dhumvati, are characterized as "poor" or "dry," and they manifest as the Jyeshtha nakshatra woman who is constantly in need of more from the man. Her energy-starved personality forces her to go to her male partner for support, which forces him to continually evolve and establish his worth. Due to the acrimonious image of Goddess Jyeshtha, she is frequently infamous for causing dissension in marriages, while the male path is all about putting a man to the test of patience and stability throughout the relationship. Once more, this puts the Jyeshtha woman in an "endless girlfriend" and "forever single" role even in cases where they have been in committed partnerships or long-term relationships as her unpredictability causes him to become more stable in contrast. By playing stupid and/or theatrical games, Jyeshtha women preserve this polarity, keeping the man in the role of the pursuer or chaser—a role that masculine men genuinely desire. As previously stated, it is really a kind of "delayed penetration" and foreplay in which the man views the woman as a quest to be conquered, symbolized by the secretive and uncharted 8th house of Scorpio. The Goddess provides transformation, even in her wild and turbulent form.
Unconsciously, Mercurial women frequently present a cutesy or childlike front (see, for example, Jyeshtha Moon YouTuber Glam&Gore who frequently speaks in a cutesy voice and has a generally fun childlike demeanor). According to psychology, women frequently appear "difficult" or start disputes out of the blue to try and gauge how patient men are. Determining whether a male partner will make a good father is an evolutionary trait since children can be very unreasonable at times and need a great deal of love and patience to deal with. The Jyeshtha woman tests her man subliminally by behaving childlike or even infantile, and these rare, enduring relationships are evidence that only the most masculine men pass those tests.
The unsettled knowledge-seeking mind of Jyeshtha enjoys learning about relationships through experience. Scorpio's Mars rulership frequently endows them with bravery and audacity. They pursue love repeatedly after failing and rarely fear love or depth. They may act rashly and rush into partnerships as a result of this Mars influence, frequently forging figurative polygamous bonds with numerous people. Celebrities like Taylor Swift with Jyeshtha Sun, who rose to stardom by penning songs about her several relationships, are examples of this. Jyeshtha can frequently be rather promiscuous, much like all the placements I discussed in Part 1. However, it is only through these intense Mars and 8th house forces that profound occult transformtion may occur. Jyeshtha, at the conclusion of the tamasic 2nd tier brings us to the 2nd gandanta knot of the zodiac. Transformative sexual energy is the source of deep occult knowledge, and it frequently reveals painful aspects of the psyche. Because each tier's ending (with a Mercury nakshatra) signifies a harsh reality that must be faced and overcome, the gandanta points are seen as challenging. The next sign of Mula, the second highest ascendant in this research, uproots and eradicates any irregularities that are revealed in Jyeshtha. This decision to uproot brings one to the third cosmic stage of the 4 satvic rashis related to liberation.
Jyeshtha keeps an individual constantly striving for more in the material world and never being satisfied, while Mula is the initiation onto the spiritual path. Jyeshtha is the cosmic phase in which one discovers their occult powers. Since one is naturally tempted to employ these newly acquired abilities for worldly gain while still in the tamasic stage of consciousness, Jyeshtha nakshatra frequently bestows great wealth. In the Mula stage, a person painfully transitions from the material world into the satvic realm. For this, a severe uprooting is necessary, symbolized by roots as a symbol for Mula. After this uprooting, one is at last prepared to join their soulmate in the beautiful, passionate Purva Ashadha, the last nakshatra ruled by Venus. This gandanta knot takes an individual from the fiery, sexual playground of the 8th house to the blessings and fortune of the 9th house. The 9th house being the 2nd from the 8th house (bhavat bhavam) is the gains of the 8th house. As each house is 2nd to the previous one, what you sow in a house is reaped in the next one. Jyeshtha and Mula both share deep occult secrets that have the power to transform greatly, and so were the top 2 ascendant nakshatras for women in long-term relationships.
Finally, I would like to highlight a few key aspects of Mars energy that support women in living happy, fulfilling romantic lives.
