HASTA NAKSHATRA (LORD – MOON) – 100 00′ – 230 20′ VIRGO
हस्त नक्षत्र वेद मंत्र :
ॐ विभ्राडवृहन्पिवतु सोम्यं मध्वार्य्युदधज्ञ पत्त व विहुतम
वातजूतोयो अभि रक्षतित्मना प्रजा पुपोष: पुरुधाविराजति ।
ॐ सावित्रे नम: ।
Savitar, Vedic Sun-god, represents the light of our intelligence that dispels the darkness of ignorance. It is because of the light of the Sun that we can recognise the true form and shape of all things. Similarly Savitar, the presiding deity of Hasta nakshatra, blesses us with the power of recognition and understanding of things. This is why Mercury, the planet of intellect, finds his highest exaltation point in this lunar mansion. Our intelligence shines here in its full splendour. Hasta nakshatra, dwelling in the middle of original sixth house, blesses us with a lot of skills that help us to survive in this material world, especially problem solving and putting things in order. Its shadow side is, though, being overly cold and calculative, or even sometimes too obsessed with keeping things in order.
When Moon shines in this swift and airy lunar mansion, it supports all types of energy exchange: conversations, meetings, communication, trade, negotiations, agreements and even marriages. It helps us to interact with the world and engage in its game with a little bit of healthy detachment and sense of humour. It encourages us to take things more lightly and look at difficult situations in life or obstacles with curiosity of a child, rather than taking it too seriously. Challenges, after all, are our opportunities to learn, progress and grow stronger. And when we remember Savitar, the Golden Soul within us, the giver of all power and intelligence during the difficult situations, even they will become easy to handle.
