The other mansions under the Moon: Rohini and Shravana.

Your Moon nakshatra is read from a kundli chart on the sidereal zodiac; the moon sign calculator uses the tropical one, so it often names the next sign along. Kundli matching then compares the nakshatra with a partner's.

What Hasta nakshatra is said to give

Hasta in relationships

Helpful and affectionate, showing love through practical care.

Hasta at work

Crafts, surgery, massage, design, writing and commerce.

Reading Hasta: gana, yoni and caste

  • Gana: Deva — divine: refined and cooperative, easy to live with and slow to confront. Nearest Deva neighbors: Pushya (no. 8) and Swati (no. 15).
  • Yoni: Buffalo — shared only with Swati (no. 15); two charts with the same yoni get the top score for this factor.
  • Caste: Merchant. Presiding deity: Savitar, the sun as craftsman; symbol: an open hand.
