10°–23°20′ Virgo · ruled by Moon · An open hand / palm
Hasta is “the hand” — skill, craft and the power to make things real. Clever, dexterous and quick-witted, you can turn ideas into tangible results with your hands and mind. There is a healing, helpful gift here, plus a playful cleverness and sharp attention to detail. You take pride in being useful and doing things well.
The symbol of Hasta is an open hand / palm, and its presiding deity is Savitar (the Sun’s creative power) — the mythic force that shapes its whole character. Its gana (temperament) is Deva: divine and gentle — refined, kind and spiritually inclined. Ruled by Moon, Hasta carries a signature of skill, craft, healing hands, cleverness — the deeper current running beneath everything a Hasta native does.
You are attentive, witty and hands-on in love, showing devotion through practical care. You need mental spark and appreciation for your efforts.
Crafts, healing, writing, tech, trade, art, therapy — anything requiring skilled hands, cleverness and precision.

In one breath, Hasta is about skill, craft, healing hands, cleverness. If the Moon sat in Hasta at your birth, this is the deep flavour it gives your emotional nature — the quiet themes your life keeps returning to. It colours how you love, what you chase, and where your soul feels most at home. Read it gently: a nakshatra is a doorway into yourself, not a box. 🐑
