About this pada

What tradition holds
Because its symbol is the hand, astrology associates Hasta with skill, careful work, resourcefulness and a hand held out to help. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: quick understanding, a gift for putting things into words, eagerness to learn, and the ability to adapt. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
