Vedic Astrology

Hasta

Ruled by the Moon, presided over by Savitar, the inspiring Sun. The power to place what is sought into the hand. The skilled hand that makes the wish real.

The read
  • Hasta means the hand, and its symbol is the open palm or fist. Its shakti is hasta sthapaniya, the power to gain what one seeks and hold it in one's own hand. The theme is skill: dexterity, craft, and the ability to grasp and manifest.
  • Savitar, the creative and transformative form of the Sun, presides here, lending cleverness, resourcefulness, and a light, quick intelligence. There is a gift for handcraft, healing touch, wit, and the practical art of getting things done.
  • The Moon rules it, giving sensitivity and a changeable, sometimes anxious mind beneath the capable hands. The growth edge is to steady the nerves, to use the skill in service rather than mere acquisition, and to keep the cleverness honest.
