Hasta Nakshatra

Savitar (Sun God of Creativity)

Hasta, the hand, is ruled by Savitar - the creative aspect of the Sun that stimulates all activity. Hasta natives have 'golden hands' - whatever they touch, they can improve. They are natural healers, artists, and craftspeople. The Gayatri Mantra addresses Savitar - 'that inspiring light.' Hasta natives are channels for creative solar energy that manifests through their hands. Their spiritual practice involves dedicating their skills to the Divine. Whether healing, crafting, or creating, they offer each action as a prayer. The mudras (hand gestures) in yoga are particularly powerful for them.
