As the name suggests, Hasta means Hand. The deity of Hasta Nakshatra is Aditya (Sun). The Hasta Nakshatra directly associates with all activities done by our hands. The hand also indicates different skills possessed by a person. On the positive side, the Hasta Nakshatra signifies a highly skilled person capable of making his/her fate. The Hasta natives target high objectives and goals for themselves and work very hard to achieve them. They are successful businessmen and are also expert in selling techniques. Their observation power is strong and they are good learners. Once they begin to work on an objective, they do not take breath until it is completed. They may be good employees, but they are generally paid less than what they deserve in their job. For this reason, they frequently change jobs for financial betterment and finally become rolling stones. Their life is full of ups and downs which always keep them restless. Their fortune is so fluctuating that even a good astrologer will fail in his predictions. A strong Moon and Mercury is desperately needed in their chart for a normal life. Physically they may have above average height, good looking but slightly portly body and short square hands. One can see a distinct and attractive smile on their faces. They are good in their studies but health problems may upset their final marks and ranking in the class. They are diplomatic and have the knack of resolving major disputes without shedding a drop of blood. From 25th year onwards, they start to grow financially and they rise after 32nd year.
