Nakshatra 13 of 27
The hand. Hasta natives are skilled with their hands — craftsmen, healers, and manifestors.
Hasta natives — born when the Moon transited this lunar mansion — carry the energetic imprint of Savitr and rulership of Moon. Their intrinsic nature is skilled, dexterous, healing. This shapes emotional temperament, karmic patterns, and how they express themselves in the world.
The symbol — Hand / Fist — offers a meditative image for understanding this nakshatra's essence. When Moon is well-placed in the natal chart, Hasta's qualities amplify beautifully. When afflicted, the shadow expression can emerge.
In the traditional Namkaran ceremony, babies born under Hasta are named with a first syllable drawn from one of the four padas of this nakshatra:
Your birth Nakshatra determines your entire 120-year Vimshottari Dasha and shapes your karmic path.
