Description

The Hasta (hand) lunar mansion gets its name from a constellation of 5 stars resembling the fingers of a hand, which is also its symbol. The deity of this mansion, Savitr, the god of radiance light, is known today mainly through the Gayatri Mantra in which he is addressed with the request of shedding light on the right path to reach the goal. This mansion plays a role in the charts of magicians and handymen alike, but it’s most dazzling expression is seen in the charts of famous architects, engineers and inventors like with the Moon of Nicola Tesla, Gustave Eiffel, Antoni Gaudi and James Dyson, or the Mars of Bill Gates which are all located in this talented mansion.

Mercury is exalted at 15° of Virgo in this lunar mansion, a placement which fits his swift and skillful nature like a glove, allowing for a physical expression of his ideas.
