About Hasta Nakshatra
The thirteenth Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is Hasta, the constellation of manifestation. It consists of 5 stars of the Corvi constellation. In Vedic Astrology, the five stars are seen as the 5 fingertips or top of a hand. In Modern Astronomy, these five Corvi stars are called with names- “Alpha Corvi”, “Beta Corvi”, “Delta Corvi”, “Gamma Corvi” and “Epsilon-Corvi”.

Etymologically, the word Hasta signifies “the hand” or “the laughter”. The latter shows the association of Hasta Nakshatra with Pun. The alternative names of Hasta constellation are “Bhanu” and “Ark” which means the “Sun” or “Sun Rays” respectively. Ruled by the Sun, the Hasta Nakshatra signifies the creativity of the Sun.

The Hasta constellation is represented by three symbols. The main symbol is “ a hand with all five fingers spread-eagled”. In Vedic times, the outstretched hand was considered a symbol of the Sun whereas the fingers were seen as the rays of the Sun. They also connected the Hasta star with fate. They have taken the hand as an epitome of all the activities that are performed using hands.

The second symbol of the Hasta Nakshatra is “a clenched fist” which signifies determination and covertness. It associates Hasta Nakshatra with trickery, manipulation and all the works involving deceit and mystery. Negatively, the clenched fist signifies greed and ambition while in a positive manner, it speaks of strength derived from harmony and unity. The third and most rarely used Hasta Nakshatra symbol is “the potter’s wheel”. It represents the passage of time and shows the association of Hasta born natives with handicrafts, punctuality and repetition.

Hasta Nakshatra’s presiding deity is Savitar, the central Sun and the God of life. Savitar is a playful deity who portrays a laughing gesture. He allows its natives to be skilled in both mental and physical games. He helps them to gain expertise in trickey, robbery and the art of lying and deceit.
