Planets in Hasta Nakshatra

Moon in Hasta

If Moon is there in Hasta, I think you have the ability to inspire people around you with your thinking. And the maternal side so strongly linked to Hasta would also be seen in your character. People would find you as dependable. You may also be very service oriented.

Kindness, sensitivity are also likely to be part of your character. And the mentality you're likely to carry would be to make yourself self-dependent. The way of thinking would be such that no I'm determined to succeed and determined to rise by my own self. I think you'll have the ability to understand complicated problems easily, quickly.

This Nakshatra has the nature belonging to Kshipra. You are likely to be spiritually inclined. This sensitivity in your character can also lead to you feeling that you have to do something for yourself, for your soul for example. So you might turn religious and spiritual.

Wanting to do the right thing and a natural innocence might also be behind your way of thinking. Moon belongs to the caste of a merchant and so the native might start a healing business if Moon is directly linked to one of the career-related houses. And that healing can be through herbs as Moon is considered to be the lord of herbs. Altogether this is a strong position.

The only downside I see here is Moon is directly linked to royalty and this Nakshatra is Rajasic so the person can get caught up in the idea of building a personal identity in the world. Other than that I find this position to be very strong.

Sun in Hasta

When Sun is in Hasta, your leadership is likely to be an inspiration for people around you. I had mentioned Lord Savita represents the time between dawn and dusk. And Sun represents the Sun. So here whatever you are likely to do, your work is likely to shine through.

The example I had shared with you earlier was of Mahatma Gandhi. He was known for his work. His work shone through. Hasta is very strongly linked to honesty and Sun is all about nobility and consistency.

Together this can lead to the native being very reliable, very trustworthy. Mercury is exalted here and when Sun is here, together this can lead to the native being very intelligent. I think the intelligence is also likely to shine through in your character. Hasta falls entirely in the sign of Virgo and Virgo is directly linked to public service and Sun is belonging to the caste of a Kshatriya.

So together this can lead to you occupying a position of leadership in public service in the society. This can even lead to business leadership. Let's not forget, Hasta belongs to the caste of a merchant but your business might be such that people not only see you as a business leader, they also see you as a public leader. Your business has a message.

Running a business based on ethics and inspiring people to follow your path is likely to be part of your journey. Sun is known to eradicate diseases and therefore this combination of Sun-Hasta can lead to a career in medicine, particularly if Moon's position, which is the Nakshatra ruler, also is suggesting a career in medicine. Altogether I find you to be not only self-made but an individual who might inspire others to also follow your path. You might stimulate others.

You may inspire others to follow your path. So your journey in life from being self-made to now a position of a leader in the society, through that journey you might inspire many people. I don't see any major downsides to this position. This is a very, very strong position.

Mars in Hasta

Mars in Hasta makes for someone who has unparalleled technical skills. Anything that requires the skill of hands, you are going to be the best at it. So pick up carpentry or pick up tennis or pick up painting, anything which requires the use of hands, there isn't going to be someone better than you in that. It can even lead to a career in medical science, in surgery.

Surgical operations require that skill of hands. That is the first thing that occurs to me when I look at Mars' position in Hasta. The other aspect is Mars is fiercely independent and very self-motivated and Hasta is all about having one's future in one's own hands and therefore the native would have this strong desire to achieve independence. The native would be determined to achieve one's goals by one's own self.

Like we hear stories that the person had no help from anyone but the person was determined and the person achieved one's goals. Like the boxer who has no support from one's family but is willing to continue to fight to achieve one's goals in life. That level of determination, fighting against all odds is going to be part of your character if you have Mars in Hasta. Mars is known to take risks and is very entrepreneurial and combined with this nakshatra this can lead to you being behind technical innovations of some kind.

You might be driven by a goal. This Nakshatra's Guna is Rajasic and this entrepreneurial spirit together and this technical prowess linked to Hasta together can lead to innovation. Your creations, your innovations are going to be technically very sound and extremely inspirational to people. Like the design of an iPhone or the design of an umbrella.

Such designs, they act as an inspiration. Others follow their lead. They follow their example that this has been designed like this. This is now the industry standard.

We need to meet that standard. So you set standards, particularly in the manufacturing sector. That sector is directly linked to Mars. Mars however, despite being very self-motivated isn't a great team player.

And given this nakshatra's rajasic nature, together this can lead to the native being excessively competitive. Even though this nakshatra is not about competing, when Mars is there, that is likely to be seen in your character. You are fighting over small things. You're fighting over small details.

And lastly, everything you're going to do, you're going to do it quickly. And perhaps you would want to be in a profession which requires quick movement, like playing hockey. You have to respond quickly, or tennis, or table tennis. Quick movement and that restlessness is also going to be part of your character.

That's my view of Mars in Hasta.

Mercury in Hasta

Mercury in Hasta, as you'd intuitively understand, is a very, very strong position. All Mercury qualities would be seen in your character. Intelligence, analytical ability, the ability to converse effectively, succinctly. So you'd be an excellent storyteller and this can even lead to a career in business advisory, financial consultancy or even sales and marketing.

This position very importantly signifies a businessperson or a salesperson. You'd understand how to run a business. This Nakshatra is all about doing things honestly and Mercury here represents the caste of a merchant and so does this Nakshatra. So running a business ethically, morally, winning the trust of your clients, you'll know how to do that and since this Nakshatra's planetary ruler is Moon, a healing business, a business which provides comfort through a product or service.

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.

Jupiter in Hasta

When Jupiter is in Hasta, you have the capability to inspire people with your knowledge. Religious leaders, spiritual gurus, professors, industry experts, people who are known to be the main speakers in conferences, I believe have Jupiter in Hasta. You'd always naturally be inclined towards the philosophical meaning of life. So you may be very inclined towards religion and spirituality in that aspect of life.

You must explore. See, there's a purpose behind this combination. Businesses require a philosophy. Every business needs to have a vision, what they are trying to accomplish.

And I think that vision comes from this position, Jupiter in Hasta. You can't simply run a business only for the purpose of making money. You need to have a philosophy, and that is provided by Jupiter in Hasta, in my view. Jupiter is known to present opportunities, and therefore it's also linked to feeling optimistic.

That feeling of optimism comes from Jupiter, and that is also somewhat linked to this nakshatra, this inherent belief that I'll return back home safely. So Jupiter in Hasta leads to the native being very positive and optimistic about life, and the chances the native wants to take in life, like we plan to climb the Mount Everest. We go to the base camp, and we have this belief, no, I'll return back home. I'll manage the forces of nature.

My body can sustain the troubles I'll have to go through. That inner feeling and optimism, I believe, is also going to be seen in your character. This combination is an excellent one if you are expected to travel for business reasons. Jupiter is known to present such opportunities, and this combination also leads to business education.

If you'd like to do an MBA, for example, and you are coming across Jupiter Antardasha, then this can lead to you being an expert in understanding how a business needs to be run. And lastly, the purification of our intellect through knowledge is experienced in this planetary position. Like they say, the senses have power over the body, the mind has power over the senses, the intellect has power over the mind, and the soul has power over the intellect. So if you combine your soul to divine knowledge, you can purify your intellect and thereby control the mind and the senses.

That power, that connection to divine wisdom, I believe, is linked to Jupiter Hasta. As I mentioned earlier, I find people having this position naturally inclined towards spirituality.

Venus in Hasta

When Venus is in Hasta, I find that you have the ability to inspire people to come together for a cause. Venus is all about togetherness, coming together of people and Hasta is about inspiration, coming together for inspiration. So Venus-Hasta together particularly if Moon is favourably placed can lead to you being a social worker for example, bringing people together, stimulating, inspiring their minds to come together for a social cause. In love affairs you might believe in doing acts of service and you might expect your partner to be similar.

You are likely to be very practical and analytical even in love and you'd like to build your personal life, your relationship and marriage by your own self. So you can say I worked on this relationship, I have built this relationship. The only downside with this position is that you can be a seeker of perfection. This nakshatra as I've mentioned is a lot about doing things perfectly, flawlessly and you might have that unrealistic, impractical expectation from your partner.

In anything that you do which is creative in nature, your creations are going to be extraordinary. They are going to be an inspiration and they are going to be created perfectly, accurately, precisely. Cubism, the design pattern popularised by Pablo Picasso, he has Venus in Hasta, that's the point I'm trying to make. So creations have some unique detail behind it.

Something beautiful has been built by putting things together artistically and the other example is the job of a carpenter. A beautiful piece of furniture is put together by a carpenter. So creativity and technical skills, they come together with this position. This position can lead to your future being in financial services sector, financial advisory sector, Venus signifies money.

So Venus in Hasta is directly linked to your career, that also is a possibility. Venus is a pleasure seeking planet and this Nakshatra is Rajasic. So the native can be caught up in the idea of building a personal brand, achieving things in the world, running after fame, running after money and that in my view is one of the downsides to this position and perhaps the only downside I can see.

Saturn in Hasta

When Saturn is in Hasta, you are going to take your time, you're going to make the effort to perfect your skill. You are likely to inspire people, not only with the perfected skill, but also your journey. Like we hear stories that this person has achieved this, and it's an inspiration, but look at the effort, the body of effort itself is an inspiration. That is Saturn Hasta.

Here, unparalleled technical skills are met with Saturn's persistence. I had earlier given you the example of Roger Federer, who has Saturn in Hasta. So working on one skill over and over again until you find that you have achieved perfection, or the journey never ends. You continue to work on your skills, you continue to become better.

That is the essence of this position. If business is likely to be your future, it's going to be linked to public service and social welfare, and the Rajasic side, so strongly linked to Hasta, is going to be very controlled. You're not likely to be as driven by worldly desire. You'd be naturally inclined to serve the society one way or the other, but you might do so with your knowledge of an ancient science, or as a tradition.

Like your forefathers used to help residents of the village in a certain way, you have carried forward that tradition. Nothing's going to come easy to you. Everything you achieve with Saturn in Hasta, you'd say, I've worked hard for many hours, for many days, for many months, for many years, and I've finally achieved it. So having one's future in one's own hands, and being a self-made individual is what this combination is all about.

And as I mentioned earlier, it's not only what you achieve at the end, or you are aspiring to achieve, but your journey, your effort in achieving your goal is going to be extremely inspirational. That remains the main characteristic of this position. That's my view. Overall, I find Saturn Hasta to be a very, very, very strong position.

The native can be very stubborn, but in a really good way. You inspire people with your stubbornness, your single- mindedness to achieve your goal.

Rahu in Hasta

Rahu in Hasta can lead to you being an unconventional business person. Whenever there's Rahu, there's bound to be some convention of the society being broken, and this nakshatra belongs to the caste of a merchant. And since this nakshatra is very strongly linked to the healthcare sector, given Moon's rulership, you can be an unconventional healer of some kind, particularly if Rahu is associated with one of your career-related houses. Rahu is known to bestow the native with intelligence, cleverness, smartness, and this position in Hasta can lead to you becoming an excellent, very shrewd businessperson, salesperson.

Major downside is that you may start running your business solely for the purpose of profits, for money. The Rajasic side can be uncontrolled in this position. The native may also delude oneself into thinking I am running this business ethically, but the truth of the matter could be that the business was mainly run for commercial reasons. The native not only might delude others, but may also delude oneself, and that's something the native would need to overcome.

Despite the shrewdness and the cleverness, this position can lead to the native having innovative, creative business ideas that can inspire people. This position can lead to business with foreigners or having a business linked to exports and imports. Despite the cleverness, this position can lead to the native making business decisions impulsively, and that is one of the downsides to this position. Altogether, the native would need guidance in life.

The native may hold on to a business philosophy or a life philosophy, which is wrong. The native may later realize, oh, I held on to that philosophy. I had the wrong purpose, the wrong vision, and therefore it would be very important for the native to seek proper guidance, particularly if the person is going through Rahu Dasha. That's my view.

Ketu in Hasta

Ketu in Hasta can lead to the native seeking answers within. This nakshatra is a lot about spirituality, and Ketu is about isolation. Together, this can lead to the native being very driven towards spirituality, towards finding answers within. In pursuit of that, the native may go to the extreme, which might inspire people, but in the wrong way, like the monk who sold his Ferrari and started living in the mountains.

Whilst that is inspiration it is also impractical. The Bhagavad Gita says one must not abandon one's duty, and that duty is also towards one's family. So you need to find a balance. Whilst this position favours isolation and spiritual inclination in isolation, it may not always be the right inspiration for others.

You may inspire people in the wrong way. That's the point I'm trying to make. Ketu is known to bestow the native with piercing logic and with unparalleled technical skills linked to Hasta. Together, the person might be able to solve any complicated problem very easily.

This position is excellent for the ones building their career in the finance sector, where you look at complicated data and you're trying to predict what might happen in the future. A Ketu-in-Hasta individual, can solve such problems. Data analytics, career in statistics, business intelligence, such fields of work, I believe the native is going to be excellent at. This is an interesting position, as Ketu detaches us from self-identity, whereas this Nakshatra is all about doing things by one's own self.

So there are two opposites here. So it might be that you prefer working behind the scenes. You prefer to be a ghostwriter. You prefer being a director than a performer.

You prefer not being a public figure, despite being involved in something meant for public, which can be a good or a bad thing, but it's likely to be something unique in your character due to this position. And lastly, despite the cloud of illusion both Rahu and Ketu can create in our lives, A Ketu-in-Hasta individual, can rise on a spiritual plane. So if you have Ketu in Hasta and you're about to enter Ketu Dasha, you must seek guidance on how to achieve progress on a spiritual plane. That's my view.
