Hasta
Hasta
(religion, spiritualism, and occult)Hasta (Hand) is one of the Nakshatras (lunar mansions) of Vedic astrology. This Nakshatra, symbolized by the five fingers of the hand, or a clenched fist, is found from Virgo 10° to 23°20’, and is a wise time for “getting a grip” on new situations; during this period, a person can be quite intelligent and persuasive, though controlling and even cruel at times.
