Nakshatra Hasta

Hasta (10W – 23 ° 20 * Virgo)

Varahamihira: If the Moon is located in Hayeta, then the person is active, full of strength, he knows neither shame nor pity. He is a thief and a drunkard.

General instructions: The symbol of Hasta is a hand, usually with open fingers, as if grasping something or clenched into a fist. The ruling deity is Savitri or Surya, the Sun. The hand implies skillful, skillful actions, and also means the grasp of nature, and the ability to grasp and hold objects, be they material, spiritual, mental, emotional or physical. The image of Hasta is rather a daily monotonous work and its small joys (like, for example, a craftsman) than a managerial position, although she still develops diligence, initiative, resourcefulness and wit. She willingly leaves a loophole for dubious morals and a seditious conscience. A clenched fist symbolizes determination and the will to keep everything under your control by any means, honest or dishonest.

The hand also connects Hasta with palmistry and even with jyotish. The Sun, which spreads its light everywhere, is responsible for the illuminating, enlightening mind of Hasta, which is obvious to those who turn to him for advice or clarification. One of the traditional associations of Hasta, not entirely obvious from her symbolism and her deity, is jokes, fun, laughter and mockery.

Lagna or Moon in Hasta often indicates a capable, witty and hospitable person, somewhat windy and not too reliable. One of the unique properties of this nakshatra is that if Hasta is associated with the lord of the 5th house, then the abandonment of children or problems with them is possible.
