Hasta - The Skilful One

Hasta means 'hand', reflecting a practical and skilful sign. It is dexterous, but with a tendency to overthink and micro-manage. It is ruled by the Sun god, granting illumination and the resources needed to achieve a goal; to manifest a vision. It is skilled and orderly, helping us get what we want. ​

When the Moon transits Hasta, it's a good day for healing, preparing herbs, travel and moving home.
