Hasta is the thirteenth nakshatra, in the middle of Virgo
See where Hasta falls in your birth chart — the sign, house and nakṣatra it occupies.
Hasta is the thirteenth nakshatra, in the middle of Virgo. Its symbol is the open hand: skill, craft, dexterity, and the light touch that gets things done cleanly. People shaped by it tend to be cheerful, clever and genuinely helpful, guiding and counselling others without expecting return and disliking anything deceitful; skilled with their hands and quietly set on obtaining what their heart desires, even if their kindness draws the odd criticism. The open hand is its emblem — craft, cleverness, a clean touch.
Presided over by Savitar, the golden-handed impeller, with the hand as its symbol. Its Vimshottari lord is Chandra.

Span 10°00′–23°20′ Kanya; lord Moon in Mercury's sign — feeling flowing through craft, the artisan-healer signature. Padas fall in Mesha through Karka navamshas.
