Hasta Nakshatra
Hasta is one of the most auspicious sections of the sky, and you'll find that out very soon. As per mythology, it's ruled by Lord Savita, and this nakshatra falls entirely in the sign of Virgo. Lord Savita is known to have his arms wide open for anyone who seeks his blessings. That is how he's characterised.
The Gayatri Mantra, considered the most sacred mantra, is dedicated to Lord Savita. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says that among mantras he represents the Gayatri Mantra, illustrating its divinity. The mantra is:
Om Bhur Bhuvah Swaha Tatsavitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat
The word Savita refers to Lord Savita, ruler of this section of the sky. One translation is, ‘May we attain the excellent glory of Lord Savita so he may stimulate our prayers.’ Another is, ‘We choose the supreme light of the divine Sun. We aspire that it may impel our minds.’ The stimulation or impelling of the mind describes both Lord Savita and Hasta. He can purify the mind and intellect so that we think more logically, clearly and at an elevated level.
Mercury in Hasta
Intellect and communication skills
Mercury in Hasta is a very strong placement, bringing intelligence, analytical ability and concise, effective communication. The person may be an excellent storyteller and work in business advisory, financial consultancy, sales or marketing.
This placement can strongly signify a businessperson or salesperson who understands how to run a business. Mercury and Hasta both belong to the merchant caste, while Hasta emphasises honesty. The person may therefore know how to run a business ethically, earn clients' trust and build a healing or comfort-giving business under the Moon's rulership.
You have the ability to inspire people around you with your intellect, your reasoning ability. Mercury finds itself to be very, very strong here. The Kshipra nature would also be seen in your thinking. The ability to understand complicated problems quickly, the ability to solve difficult issues quickly.
With this position you'd also be able to fulfil your aspirations in the world. The guna of Rajasic, you'd be able to fulfil your business ambitions. Altogether I find this position to be very strong. I hardly see any downside to this position.
Thank you for your time.
