#Hasta #Nakshatra, which is from 10°00' to 23°20' degrees in Virgo sign, is the 13th Nakshatra as per Hindu astrology. The symbol for Hasta Nakshatra is a #hand, usually with the fingers closed as if grasping something or forming a fist. In Sanskrit, Hasta means Hand or 'of Hands' like Hasta-Kriya will be Hand actions, not precisely but we can get the idea.
The symbolism of hand for Hasta Nakshatra suggests the grasping nature of the lunar mansion and an ability to grab and hold on to all sort of things. This grasping nature can be material, spiritual, mental, emotional or physical. The hand also indicates activities and the skill in those activities. Ultimately, Hasta Nakshatra forms an image of repetitive work and achievement like any kind of artwork or sports which can be played daily but differently.
The presiding deity for Hasta Nakshatra is #Savitr (or Savitar) is a form of Surya (the Sun), but many time in ancient texts Savitr is distinguished from #Sun. Nevertheless, Hasta Nakshatra illustrates the qualities of this association with Sun, like illuminating intelligence especially in counselling and advising.
The association with hand or fist symbolises determination and a tendency or wish to control through any means. The symbolism provides an association of Hasta Nakshatra with palmistry and therefore, by extension, with Jyotisha Shastra (Vedic astrology).
One of the Hasta Nakshatra's traditional association, not very apparent from its symbolism or deity, is of jesting, joking, merriment, laughter, and mockery. One unique attribute of this lunar mansion is that when it is associated with the lord of the fifth house it may deny children or create problems with progeny.
All the four Pada under Hasta nakshatra are as follows: 1st Pada in Aries navamsa ruled by Mars. 2nd Pada in Taurus navamsa ruled by Venus. 3rd Pada in Gemini navamsa ruled by Mercury and 4th Pada in Cancer navamsa ruled by Moon.
Moon in Hasta Nakshatra: When the Birth star is Hasta Nakshatra, the person has active habits and he is full of resources. But Hasta native is shameless and merciless. Moreover, such a person can be a thief and a drunkard.
