Hasta nakshatra is ruled by the Moon and represents skill, craftsmanship, and dexterity. Excellent for handicrafts, trade, learning new skills, and medical procedures.
Nakshatra refers to the 27 lunar mansions (constellations) through which the Moon travels. In the Hindu Panchang, the nakshatra determines auspicious timings for ceremonies, fasting days, and muhurat calculations.
The Moon stays in each nakshatra for approximately 24 hours, completing its cycle through all 27 nakshatras in about 27.3 days. This is why the nakshatra changes daily.
Rohini, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, and Revati are considered auspicious nakshatras. These are ideal for starting new ventures, travel, and performing religious ceremonies.
