Ketu, planet of spirituality and sacrifice, is in Hasta Pada Four from March 4th to May 6th 2024.

Moving backwards into a new nakshatra, Ketu brings a different flavour and mixes its escapist, mystical style with Hasta’s practical and earthy intelligence. This nakshatra’s symbol of a Hand is associated with craft and skill, along with a smart attitude around money, which balances Ketu’s usual otherworldliness.

Pada Four of Hasta relates to Cancer navamsha, the subchart of marriage and good fortune, where Ketu gives you a sympathetic touch, aligned with its natural intuitive gift. You can combine these qualities very effectively to help people, giving both emotional support and sound worldly advice.

Healing, diet and lifestyle are natural avenues, and a hands-on approach to wellness may be channelled through bodywork and massage. Hasta is also linked naturally to Palmistry, or other divinatory arts, like Astrology, where you look into the future and possibly study the subject in greater depth. 

Be careful if you encounter rogues and tricksters, however, as Ketu gives you a desire to help, but this asterism has potential for using sleight of hand. Someone may also try to take advantage of your good instincts. Hasta’s Shakti, or special power, ‘To Put Power in Your Hands’, however, gives you a subtle understanding and you approach a complex issue from a different angle.

From March 31st to April 24th, Ketu is under the influence of Venus, planet of relationship, and you may idealise somebody and even try to ‘save’ them. This is a highly romantic placement where your partner benefits from your selfless style, but make sure your relationship is also grounded in the real world.
