You stand first in the dangerous place
Whatever your actual birth order, you end up playing the eldest. Responsibility comes first, people to protect appear, and you never show the weight.
Mythology and origins
Jyeshtha is ruled by Indra, king of the gods — the hero who slew Vritra, the serpent of drought, and brought back the rain: the eldest brother who fights at the front.
It is Antares, the red heart of Scorpio. Jyeshtha means "the eldest," and its symbol is a round protective amulet.
So tradition sees this star as one who ends up playing the eldest regardless of birth order and stands first before danger. A warning comes with it: carrying that weight alone makes isolation easy.

Where the Moon was
In India, where the Moon stood at the moment of birth matters most. If the Sun is what shows on the outside, the Moon is how the mind moves. The highlighted section above is The Eldest's Amulet — the place this person's mind returns to by default.
