Sun in Hasta ~ Shine a light on your skills

The Sun, the star of self and creativity, is in Hasta from September 26th to October 10th, the nakshatra symbolised by the Hand and handicraft.

Hasta is also ruled by the Sun/Surya, so this planet has a clear affinity here and gives you a confident and generous nature within Virgo’s humble, earthy nature. Your eye for detail is a great asset, where you can correct a mistake you may have overlooked, and craftsmanship in everything you do is key.

You can take pride in your work and prove yourself to be a safe pair of hands, where this masculine, fiery, rajasic nakshatra gives you energy and passion. Mars, the planet of action, impacts the Sun through this whole transit, sharpening your competitive streak and giving you a deadline to work to. Your co-workers also up their game, and it may be hard to relax with a constant sense of doing two things at once, so prepare to improvise and multitask.

The Shakti of this asterism, ‘To Put Power in Your Hands, however, gives you potential profit for your efforts and you become a truly self-made success. You can take your heroic solar journey to another level, but from September 28th to 30th especially, resist the urge to chase your ambitions blindly and to no good effect.

The Sun comes closest to headless Ketu at this point, and you should be careful when driving, travelling, and doing strenuous work. It’s better to shed light on a hidden or mysterious area through meditation and inner work and find a place to showcase your gifts for writing, organizing, and perhaps healing.
