Hasta - Ascendant Nakshatra Life Pattern

Please refer to the introductory article here – https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/AscendantNakshatraandLifePattern to understand the theme and purpose of this series.

So, now we will try to understand that what will happen if Hasta Nakshatra is someone’s Ascendant Nakshatra and how it is going to impact the life pattern of person.

So, let’s cover this article under the following points –

Ascendant Nakshatra – There is something called the Ascendant Nakshatra. It is based on the degree of Ascendant (please find introduction of all the Nakshatras here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/intronaksh)

If Ascendant shows the life path then Ascendant Nakshatra will show the pattern of life. It shows the activities we follow throughout life as pattern.

Hasta – Hasta Nakshatra spreads from 10.00 degree to 23.20 degree of Virgo. Hasta is nakshatra of healing, health care and skillful people. It also represents hard work. For more info on Hasta, please check this link - https://www.astrosaxena.com/hastnaksh.

Effect of Hasta Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Hasta Nakshatra is represented by Hands, Palm or Clenched Fist. Hence, it represents people who are very hard working. It also represents skilful people and people who are very good with handy-work. It also represents Healers and Counsellors. Clenched Fist represents their ambitious nature. It can also be representing someone’s controlling nature. So, these can be traits and characteristics of Hasta Nakshatra people which can become their life pattern.

Ascendant Nakshatra Lord’s Position – Now, as ascendant shows our life path and ascendant lord’s position in chart shows the direction of life path; likewise, ascendant nakshatra shows our life pattern and position of ascendant nakshatra lord in chart shows that in which area of life, the life pattern will be exhibited.

Like, we have discussed all above traits and characteristics of Hasta Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Hasta lord Moon is placed in a Virgo Ascendant's chart, person may get Hasta’s and Moon’s results as life pattern. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Moon is placed in chart.

Here, going through Moon’s position in each house/sign can be repetitive or monotonous. So, for understanding the end result, we can rely on the Concept of Who, How, What & Where - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/whww.

“Where” is the House where event is happening.

“What” is the Sign which is indicating towards event.

“Who” is the Planet who is bringing the event; and

“How” is the quality of event which depends on nature and dignity of planet.

For example, Moon in 3rd house/Scorpio for a Virgo ascendant chart would show that native’s life pattern can be all about healing people or nourishing people through his own business and communications in research oriented matters. Here, mind can be very much involved in occult and mysticism related matters and that can also become a mode of serving others. At personal level, this can show a very unstable mind. This can also show someone who can be a good Psychologist. At the same time as Moon is debilitated here, this person can have their own Psychological issues where he can be fearful of unknown events happening.

Whereas Moon in 6th house/Aquarius for Virgo ascendant chart shows that this person can be a healer and nourishes people in his daily work life. It can be service in mind related health issues. This is more so if Moon is in Satabhishak Nakshatra of healers. He can be serving people through his own entrepreneurship. It also shows a person who can serve under privileged people, animals or plants etc. So, it is by and large a life pattern of Healer. As Moon is in enemy sign ruled by Saturn, it shows that results are coming after hard work, perseverance and stress etc.

Final example, Moon in 10th house/Gemini shows that person may be inclined to gain the position of authority and recognition through which he can serve and heal people. It shows a business oriented mind and a highly communicative person. Person can be in healing and health care related business or counselling/teaching people about healing & health care. But as Moon is in enemy sign, it shows that person can be feeling frustrated here as he is unable to focus on one thing and feels distracted.

Like this, we can understand about how and where the ascendant nakshatra lord is exhibiting the results of life pattern. In further articles of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern, I will cover other house/sign positions which would help us in learning interpretation of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern in a more holistic way.

Dignity – As always, Dignity of Planet has the highest say. If Moon is in exaltation (Taurus), Own Sign (Cancer), and Friendly Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius and Pisces) then there is a potential that person can get results without much difficulties or obstacles. When Moon is in Enemy Sign (Gemini and Virgo), Saturnine Signs (Capricorn & Aquarius) and Debilitated Sign (Scorpio) then things can be difficult to achieve and extra hard work is needed to be done.

Conclusion – As I understand, this is how we can understand as to how ascendant nakshatra can setup the life pattern for people with Hasta Nakshatra as the Ascendant Nakshatra.
