Let’s look at important things here –

Ketu – Ketu represents Isolation, Separation, Spirituality, Mystical World, Other Dimension means things related to Alien World. It also represents Son, Dog, Intuition, Research Ability, Curious Nature, things which we have already achieved in past life and not much concerned to perform in this life. 

Hasta - 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.

Virgo - As Hasta is a part of Virgo, Virgo sign and its representations also become important. Virgo is the 6th sign of zodiac belt, hence it represents almost all the things which are represented by the 6th house of horoscope like Debts, Diseases, Obstacles, Serving the under-privileged, Service Life, etc. Besides this, Virgo represents analytical or critical nature of people, being perfectionist and healing abilities. Virgo's basic representation is the lady coming in boat with wheat and herbs in her hands. So, Virgo is basically a sign of healing. Virgo consists of next set of 2 and half nakshatra. i.e. Uttara-Phalguni, Hasta and Chitra. Virgo's lord is Mercury.

Moon - As Moon rules Hasta, Moon's position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Hasta/Virgo.

Mercury - As Mercury rules Virgo, Mercury's position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Hastai/Virgo.

Houses Involved – Also, we can’t afford to forget the houses involved as a planet can be ruling different houses and sitting in different house for every person as per ascendant and planet’s position. To know overall affect, we have to consider the houses involved as those areas of life are being impacted.

Interpretation of Ketu in Hasta Nakshatra – Ketu is in Mercury’s sign here and in enemy nakshatra of Moon. Common theme with Hasta, its lord Moon and Virgo is health-care. As Ketu represents past-life expertise, it shows that they have innate ability to heal someone. Most common profession for them is medical profession. As Ketu represents research, it also shows someone in medical or clinical research oriented career. As Ketu represents alternate ways of medication, Ketu in Hasta can show a healer in alternate medication too. As Hasta means Hands, it is ideal placement for a Reiki Healer. This portion of Virgo also represents very hard working people. Ketu here shows that they work really hard to make their career or wealth in life.

As Ketu itself represents separation, split, break-up etc, if Ketu is getting involved in relationship matters in a chart, it is never a good placement. Person will be feeling separated in relationship either physically or mentally or both ways. This will bring a tug-of-war kind of result where they may feel separated when they are in relationship but when they are single, they may desire relationship. As Ketu remains illusion, possibility of cheating is high in relationship. It is a challenging position for relationship where person may keep that perfectionist attitude with partner and due to which relationship can be spoilt.

Role of Moon – Moon placement is important to guide Ketu in right direction, being Hasta's lord.

Role of Mercury - Mercury placement is important to guide Ketu in right direction, being Virgo lord.

Other Factors – And of course, we need to consider conjunction, aspects, house lordship, house position and dashas etc to know the exact results of Ketu in Hasta. So, we always need to take a holistic view of chart rather than just 1 planetary position.

Conclusion – So, this is how I see Ketu in Hasta can work in a chart.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
