Hasta

Mythology

Hasta = hand. The open-hand symbol; giving, receiving, healing, art — all pass through the hand. Its deity Savitar: the light of dawn, the awakening sun. Ruled by Moon — the emotional quality of hand-skill. Here skill isn't only technical but carries a quality that heals what it touches.

Astrological reading

Moon in Hasta carries the hand-craftsman pattern — healer, masseur, therapist, craftsman, organizer. Master of detail. Risk: excessive control; the obsession to do everything by their own hand; inability to delegate.
