#Hasta #Nakshatra is the thirteenth of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the moon was between 10:00-23:20 degrees #Virgo

#Sanskrit Name: à€čà€žà„à€€ (Hasta). One meaning of Hasta is “ #hand,” indicating skill, artistry, and a hard-working nature.

Planetary Ruler: #Moon. In Vedic theology the moon is considered a manifestation of the mind of God. It is associated with creativity, the mind, and the emotions. The moon is especially significant in Vedic astrology, where a person’s sign is considered their moon sign.

Nakshatra Group: Godly. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Hasta is a godly nakshatra. People in this group are generally good-natured and fortunate in life. However, they may struggle with pride and a sense of entitlement.

Zodiac Sign: Virgo. Virgos are intelligent, practical, capable problem solvers who like to help others with their abilities. They can be critical of both themselves and others.

Deity: Surya ( #Savitáč›). In Vedic theology, Surya is the lord of the Sun and is revered as an expansion of God. The Sun God is worshiped prominently in many cultures and is honored for the integral role the Sun plays in sustaining life.

Symbol: The hand. This represents power, dexterity, communication, and blessings. The open hand is traditionally used as a symbol of blessing in Vedic culture.

Power: To attain what is sought. Hasta has the ability to bring goals to life quickly and place tangible results in hand.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Hasta are Pu (à€Șà„‚), Sha (à€·), Na (à€Ł), and Tha (à€ ). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
The influence of the Moon, as well as that of Virgo’s ruling planet, Mercury, places a strong emphasis on the mind. Hastas are intellectually creative and able to come up with original ideas and new ways of doing things. Skilled in speech and writing, your eloquence allows you to share your ideas effectively with others. Your creativity may also express itself through your hands — you have natural talent in arts and craftsmanship and will likely have a variety of skills.

The presence of Hasta natives is calming. You are down to earth and not easily ruffled. You are patient and sensible, and rarely waste your time on ill-conceived pursuits. You have incredible foresight, able to predict the outcome of various courses of action with accuracy. As a result, the things you dedicate your energy to usually succeed.

Hastas wield a good deal of power — the strength of your personal character and your shrewdness make you a force to be reckoned with. When you work toward something, you do it with industriousness and determination and usually have a solid plan in place. You are disciplined and don’t get easily agitated or thrown off course.

Hastas are generally well-liked. You have an aptitude for healing — which may manifest in subtle ways — and for helping others. Charming, polite, and always eager to do the right thing, you draw people to you with your personality as well as your attractive appearance.

Hasta Careers
Hastas’ intelligence, range of abilities, and communication skills make them suited for many careers. Roles where they feel they are truly accomplishing something will be the most fulfilling. They should avoid positions that are too routine and might bore them.

Some ideal professions include:

Artist or craftsman
Teacher, researcher, professor, or writer
Business or personal advisor
Doctor, nurse, chiropractor, masseuse, or alternative healer
Weaknesses
The shadow side of Hasta is a competitive nature that values success at any cost. This results in an inclination to outwit and circumvent obstructions in ways that might not be ethical — you can be merciless in your determination to reach your goals. You may be excessively critical when under stress and lose your natural patience.

Hastas often do have to deal with stress in their lives — you might feel overburdened or repressed, and may struggle with your self-esteem. In your early life, you could experience hardship and might feel that there are endless barriers to achieving success. Your success will probably come later in life. Finding a path that offers spiritual fulfillment, rather than just material success, will create a positive shift for Hastas.

The external and internal struggles you face can make you give in to your lower impulses. If you start to indulge your every sensual desire, you could fall into a lifestyle that is morally and physically unhealthy.

You may struggle with your health throughout life. Hasta natives are sensitive and easily affected by subtle hazards. Be mindful of the environment around you. Spending time in nature regularly can be a great healing agent.

Other Personality Traits
You give good advice. You are able to perceive all angles of a situation and to predict possible outcomes. This allows you to offer sound solutions to those who come to you for help.

You are a good listener. An excellent communicator on all fronts, you possess not only the gift of speaking but a gift for listening. You know that to communicate well, it’s even more important to listen than to speak.

You may have a volatile life. Although you may achieve great things, you may also have great struggles. Your life has many ups and downs and you experience many changes.

You will probably have wealth. Although it might not happen immediately, it’s likely that you will achieve success and prosperity.

You are martial. You have qualities that are reminiscent of a warrior. You have a militant discipline and determination and a combative personality.

Hasta Compatibility
Hasta sexuality is symbolized by a female buffalo. In terms of physical compatibility, this makes them an ideal match for persons born under Swati nakshatra.

Based on holistic matching, Hastas are most likely to find happiness in long-term partnerships with:

Krittikas in Taurus
Mrigashira
Punarvasus in Gemini
Punarvasus in Cancer (for male natives)
Uttara-phalgunis in Virgo
Chitras in Virgo (for female natives)
Uttara-ashadhas in Capricorn
Shravana
Uttara-bhadrapada (for female natives)
Revati
Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

Hasta’s Four Quarters (Padas)
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters, also known as padas, of 3:20 degrees each. These quarters are based on a 1/9th divisional chart, known in Sanskrit as navamsha.

The moon’s position at your time of birth determines the quarter in which you are born.

First Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Virgo): Aries. You have a seemingly inexhaustible energy. You are always doing something and love a new challenge. Even more competitive than other Hastas, you are always ready for an argument and may seem to create conflict out of thin air. You are intelligent but may be prone to act deceitfully. You can be sharp in your speech

Second Quarter (13:20-16:40 degrees Virgo): Taurus. You are peaceful and honest, with an innate desire for harmony. You are extremely artistic and have a great eye for beauty. A man or woman of the world, you are knowledgeable on many subjects and have a mature, experienced outlook. You are very practical.

Third Quarter (16:40-20:00 degrees Virgo): Gemini. Your mind is one of your most valuable assets — you are intelligent and imaginative, and can accomplish a great deal with each. You have many talents because you pick up new skills easily and are curious to learn. You are enterprising and can always find ways to execute your ideas.

Fourth Quarter (20:00-23:20 degrees Virgo): Cancer. Your family means the world to you. Generally content wherever you find yourself, you are disciplined and able to reign in your emotions and desires when needed. Your courage and sense of virtue win you the admiration of many.

Hasta in Electional Astrology
In electional astrology, also known as muhurtha, nakshatras are used to determine favorable days and times for important ceremonies and events, such as weddings, buying a new house or vehicle, commencing a project, or conceiving a child.

The electional nature of Hasta is Kshipra or Laghu, “swift” and “light.” Hasta is an excellent nakshatra for:

Beginning a journey
Undergoing a medical operation
Learning something new
Athletic events and competitions
Performing any #healing work

Characteristics of Hasta Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Hasta Nakshatra is a #female #buffalo.
They are part of a Bovidae family, which includes bison, caribou, antelope and water buffalo.
They have thick, large horns joining in the middle of their head.
Just like a bull, they, too, are extremely powerful and can weigh a ton.
They love being in the water, and this is especially true for water buffalo found in India.
Buffalo is also known as the ride of Lord Yama.
Just like other families of Bovidae, they eat only grass and bushes and are mainly used in India to push carts and do farming activities.
Hasta natives will become either vegan or vegetarians at one point in life, and due to the nature of water buffalo, they love taking long showers and being in the bathtub.
Hasta natives like to live near an ocean or a river because they need a body of water they can step in, like a water buffalo.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is hand or closed fists, which symbolically can have many meanings.
Hasta natives have a talent for painting, sculpting, crafting, sowing, and they have to keep their hands busy like restless hand syndrome.
They must do something, whether it’s fixing something, writing, or if there is nothing to do, then they’ll be on their cell phone.
When there is nothing important to do, they love playing cards, poker, gambling or anything that requires the magic of the hands, like throwing the dice.
Such natives love to play the hands of luck. Even traditional Indian girls and women have a passion for the stock market and gambling.
They love to perform magic tricks with their hands, become pick-pockets, and at least one time in their life, they may steal from their parent’s wallet or siblings since Moon is debilitated in the 3rd house from Virgo.
The hands are also useful in fighting, and these natives know how to use their hands to knock someone out.
Just because this Nakshatra occurs in a feminine sign of Virgo doesn’t mean Hasta natives have to be just as feminine.
Virgo may be a feminine sign overall, but feminine energy is fierce and ferocious, just like masculine energy is fiery.
Savitur is one of the 12 Adityas, the sun Gods, who is the giver of life, and assists with childbirth.
He is depicted with golden hands and is considered to provide what we desire in our hands.
He is also the God of vitality, life and light, and that of divine inspiration.
Savitur has an elder sister, Usha – the dawn, who paves the way for Savitur to walk.
Savitur is invoked in the famous Gayatri Mantra.
The 24-syllable mantra from Rig Veda is very esoteric and is supposed to contain the deepest secrets of the universe within it.
Savitur is known to guard the world of spirits and the occult.
He’s known to increase the life of humans and Gods.
He is known to have a pleasant tongue, is a versatile speaker and was called Iron-Jaw.
Savitur is simply invoked by reciting the Gayatari Mantra, which was given to king turned sage, Vishwamitra.
In the hymns of this mantra, you will see the line “Tat, Savitur, Varenyam”.
In translation, Savitur means bright as the Sun. The birth of children is also controlled by Savitur, who was blessed to give life in this Universe.
Savitur is also known for being the setting sun, the one who gets sacrificed.
In Rig Veda, he is known to bring all two-footed and four-footed beings to home or rest (death) and to awaken them (giving life).
This is perhaps why it is known as the ‘Widow Maker’.
Attributes of Hasta Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 10’00” to 23’20” Virgo (Kanya). The 12 names of the Sun are: Arun, Aditya,Tapan, Divakar, Bhaskar, Bhanu, Martanda, Mihir, Ravi, Bivakar, Sahasramsu, and Surya.
This star causes all the attributes these names etymologically connote.
From the Surya, we derive creativity and creation, and from creation, we derive light, luster, and strength. Surya is the prime cause of dominion, kingship, power of immunity, and the light that dispels darkness.
Budha is the cause of knowledge. If placed in this star, he sheds light all around.
Ravi, with this Nakshatra, enhances the instinct of dominion and the capacity to rule over others. It brushes up human intelligence, making it more luminous and makes a man vibrant with life and light.
The symbol is a closed hand or fist. It would follow that this signifies determination and clenched resolution.
The possessive instinct of keeping everybody within one’s grip follows from the nature of this star.
The magicians and the pick-pocketers are also born under this star.

#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.
