Hasta Nakshatra is symbolized by a hand or a closed fist and represents skillfulness, craftsmanship and the ability to manifest one’s desires using your own hands, meaning with your own means.
When the Moon transits Hasta Nakshatra (every 27 days), it gives you an opportunity to heal your abundance blocks and manifest and live the life your soul intended.
Hasta is the 13th nakshatra in the natural zodiac, and holds a special place as a favorite of the Sun God, Savitur. Savitur is the deity of Hasta Nakshatra and has the ability to grant us the power to achieve our goals and manifest our desires.
During the moon’s transit through Hasta, reciting the Savitur Gayatri mantra is an effective way to harness the Sun’s energy and get the blessings of Savitur. This ancient practice enhances your bond with the Sun and helps manifest your deepest aspirations and desires.
The symbol of Hasta Nakshatra, “Hands with all the fingers,” represents fate and destiny, illustrating how our hands not only reveal aspects of our lives but also serve as vital tools for accomplishment. In today’s digital age, our reliance on computers and smartphones, all operated by our hands, underscores this connection.
The shakti or power associated with Hasta Nakshatra is “Hasta Sthapaniya Agama Shakti,” and translates to the power and the ability to achieve and hold what we desire within our grasp. So, during the Moon’s transit through Hasta Nakshatra, whatever our desires are, can be attained.
In Hindu mythology, Mahishasura, an amalgamation of a demon (Asura) and water buffalo (Mahisha), wielded a trident with the intent to destroy the Devas (Divine Being), the arch enemies of the Asuras. The tale of Mahishasura is pivotal as it led to the incarnation of Goddess Durga, in order to slay him.
The buffalo represents Tamoguna—qualities of laziness, ignorance, and inertia. The narrative of Durga (representing Shakti/power) overcoming Mahishasura symbolizes the triumph over such negative traits, a significant theme for Hasta nakshatra natives.
Mahishasura’s increasing power threatened the divine realms, prompting the Gods to unite and manifest the formidable Goddess Durga to destroy the demon. This story underscores the importance of curbing ego and arrogance, encouraging devotion to Goddess Durga to conquer one’s inner demons (ego, arrogance, lethargy).
When the Moon transits Hasta Nakshatra, use the day to be aware of the Tamoguna qualities in your life and to push them away. Use the day to embody the shakti of Goddess Durga to initiate swift actions and expedite outcomes for powerful manifestations.
Hasta Nakshatra is characterized as both Laghu (light) and Kshipra (quick/fast), suggesting that activities requiring swift action or immediate results are auspicious during the Moon’s transit through Hasta.
Harness the transformative power of Hasta Nakshatra on its transit days to overcome barriers and manifest your deepest desires with intention and precision.
Make each moment count—your destiny is truly in your hands.
