Inspiration vs Depression - Hasta’s Life-Lesson 

Just wow! I have a hasta ascendent. Three years back I was severely depressed about my existence and why I was here, to do what. When I started connecting to nature, being more perceptive to everything around, I slowly started awakening to a higher purpose. My depression went away post divine inspiration.

I have Hasta in the first house in Jupiter and Saturn. It wasn’t until I was in my late 30’s I could break depression by paying attention to the smallest of details in life. Then I found an ample supply of joy. I slowed down and lived each minute instead of each day and the world expanded. For anyone who comes across this teacher right here, Pay Attention! He knows what he is teaching is gold! 🙏

I have Venus in Hasta. I am good with my hands. I make things easily. I have a fine arts background with emphasis in illustration and currently my job is to faux paint homes.

I have hasta ascendent and I am so creative with my hand when I am inspired and when I am not, I just want to stop living. It is so true.

OMG... First time I have seen so many people not agreeing with Vic. Well sorry Vic, I get your explanation of this Nakshatra, but I do think it can be explained better. I have mercury and Venus in hasta. I am luckily born in India so identify with the concept of sunrise. I think the keyword here is "prasav". English translation will mean childbirth delivery process. A woman experience the maximum pain possible in her life during labour pain. I read somewhere that the pain during childbirth is akin to all the pelvis bones being crushed. I don't know true or false, but if true imagine the pain. Maybe some women out there might comment for confirmation. But what you get afterwards is pure source of joy, a child. So, probably this Nakshatra means that you need to undertake pain to achieve your goals. Planets in hasta will probably give you pain first and then make you successful. Instead of "inspiration", I would use the term "pain or failure" over here. Sunrise also signify the same thing. Sunrise comes after extreme darkness. So, success is guaranteed after failure. Or coming alive (waking up) in the morning is given after death (sleeping). Hands would also signify the same thing - working out of your problems. I have mercury and Venus in hasta. I think mercury works great in hasta. I am very intelligent and brainy. I use my brain to think and make my business grow. Even if something doesn't work, I don't give up and try thinking and finding alternatives and eventually I win. My brain is constantly putting its effort in case things don't work out as planned, and it gives me success. Venus was not good for me. I loved a girl dearly. She was the only love of my life. But I never put in any effort to show my love and affection to her. I considered showing affection as superficial. In fact she was the one to put her efforts continuously. So I never put any efforts (even though my intentions were good) and maybe thats why my Venus backfired. She married someone else all of a sudden and I was devastated. It was 18 years ago, I am still single. Can't imagine someone else in my life. But I have learned my lesson - if you love someone then show that love and affection. (work on it as hasta says) So, I think planets which have the ability to fight and solve problems will give good results here, like mercury, Mars, saturn, etc. Planets which want ease and comfort like Venus might create problems in hasta. Ketu might cause detachment from the objective, weak moon might cause loss of concentration on objective, hence both negative. This is my personal opinion Vic. You mentioned a great point in the end of seeing sunrise. I think it is more of getting inspiration rather than charging us with its light. We can see with our eyes that with sunshine, darkness is slowly going away. We need this inspiration to deal with our problems, work continuously on it (instead of getting depressed with our problems), and success will be ours. Sorry Vic, my comment became very big... Couldn't help it. My Virgo energy ☺️

I've mars(R) in hastha.. Thankyou for the sutra....i really needed it...

We call it Sun gazing. 30 minutes facing the sunrise (or even sunset) without staring directly at the Sun is beneficial to mood and well being.🌞 (#SiderealHastaSun)

Your teaching has been always deeply profound. I bow to you 🙏🙏🙏

Ketu is my only placement in Hasta and i cherish it deeply ! Carl Jung had this placement too ;) I use it in my artistic practice a lot and when inspired, i feel like the Sun, an infinite source of light and inspiration... it all comes from Life. Depression is a deep part of my life, as it makes sense that the ruler of this nakshatra, the Moon, doesnt emit its own light but needs the reflection of the sun in order to be given life or spirit... i am slowly accepting that this part of myself can engulf me if i dont pay attention... but thankfully, i have nature, and a beautiful space to live (full of light and sun catchers!).

Mercury in Hasta 12ty house. I live abroad and very successfully. Must be thanks to this :) took a lot of effort but I never lacked motivation/inspiration. You nail all your videos!!

Everything you said is SO true. I think your interpretation of Hasta goes much deeper than just superficial signification of its symbol, like I found in most descriptions on the net. This is so inspiring for me, as a Hasta Moon, that there is greater meaning to this nakshatra than simply 'craftsmanship' and 'manipulation'. I think this misunderstanding transcends into these nakshatra natives as well. Like, for example, I am naturally good at hand-made crafts, and I love to make idols/dolls of Hindu dieties using waste household items. Most percieve the latter as just another skill. But for me, these dolls are conserceted, with my imagination, with my life-source. That's why I can't monetise them. It just flows. Plus, I dream of becoming a consciousness researcher one day! My maasi is the only person in my family who I relate A lot to. Guess what? Her name is Savita! :)

Sun and Mercury in Hasta yet I often have trouble finding inspiration and motivation to do something. I feel I have not accomplished much in terms of career in my life. Thank you for the video.

Om Jham Hasta Nakshatrayai Namaha A hasta nakshatra native can develop specialization in any one hand based skill like palmistry, Magic skills etc. Hasta belongs to Vaishya caste hence it is good for business dealings. Hasta’s ruling deity is Savitar , a solar diety , hence we can chant Gayatri mantra 108 times during Hasta nakshatra days. Hasta is a light and swift nakshatra , hence good for travel. Thanks.

As the hands can detail what we think and this all can give us success. Thanks

I think what is called "mindfulness" is a better term for what you're calling paying attention to the details. Just a thought since so many benefits have been attributed to mindfulness and it has been talked about so much.

Beautifully put that happiness rather than survival is what drives our instincts. There has ever been a point in my life where I just felt so apathetic, that even the need to meet basic needs could not motivate me to take action.

Very insightful Vic! Thanks a lot!! 🙏

I have Hasta pada 3 in Virgo Moon plus Asc, Pisces Sun. Also Rahu is on cusp of 4th and 5th house. Agree with inspiration being important. Correlate self with INFJ (sometimes INTJ), Enneagram 5 and 9, and ADHD.

Rahu in Hasta in Navamsa. Your explanation is right on the spot. Deep to the root. Definitely, not many are able to acknowledge their own blind spot and darker self. To hv high self awareness is the root to discover all apects of ourselves. Thank you. :)

Thank you!

Thank you for the sutra lesson. Its very profound and can bring many changes in our life. That is being alert and mindful of every moment of our life.

Love this interpretation..💟 I'm a hasta Nakshatra born in the second pada..with aries ascendant...♈ Moon in hasta Nakshatra in the sixth house..with saturn aspecting it..and it's a mutual aspect.😅 So I have found this in my life..that everytime I had to face a emotional loss ..I have always gotten adapted and have matured..but the process is heavy and drains you ..😓 I am so grateful for this video I found a simple way to escape this depression.. I can't describe how relieved I am.. You are a man full of knowledge and exceptional view at the vedic astrology..😇 Please keep making more videos such as these..💟!!!

i have jupiter retrograde in hasta nakshatra, and i love being inspired! it's one of my life motivations to continually inspire and be inspired

Could it be that the best way to keep being inspired even when success seems far away is to simply follow your joy? And that also makes you naturally alert.

Thank you Vic 🙌🏽💖 I also associate hands with healing abilities and solving problems, my nickname for this Nakshatra is “helping hands”

your skill of interpretation is unbelievable ❤️ I am a Scorpio rising with Mars in Hasta. I’ve been through a terrible Kethu maha-dasha (having my Kethu in the 8th) while Kethu is transiting over Hasta nakshatra atm. One of those “intense & broody” artistas 🙈😅 I’ve been so terribly depressed lately and this video comes as the saving grace 🙏🏼 especially those final golden words of wisdom 🥹 A gleaming ray of hope directly from Savitur, peering through the darkest of veils.

Thank you for the sunrise!

You’ve also explained the essence of the gayatri mantra with your description! Kudos Vic

9:40 I’m a hasta ascendent with Aries moon in 7H conjunct 6H Saturn and I’ve actually noticed that i need to pay attention in order to feel inspired... :-) ♥️ Great life lesson

Beautiful Vic. Thankyou 🙏🏼🌊🌊🌊

Moon in Hasta...that's me. Thank you Vic. 🙏

Very insightful. You brought up a lot of thought provoking points.

Thank you for the timeless wisdom, my moon is in Hasta [pada 2] and I feel this at my core.

You answer questions for me so much, I love your "channel" 💋

Sublime.....I love these sutras

I have a hasta moon, thank you for this information!

thanks a lot for throwing light on what is needed to be done namaste

I respectful disagree with the idea that Darwinism is incorrect. As many accounts of people who have failed suicide attempts have mentioned deep regret at the moment they almost died. It's nature to survive even in the most adverse circumstances. People who strive for happiness have missed the point of life. God gives us life that we may enjoy all things, he doesn't give us all things that we may enjoy life. Life is the gift. We should be grateful that we are breathing as age is gift not given to many.

Much Gratitude, Sir🍀🕊️ I have Sun, Moon, Lagna Lord (Taurus) Venus and Mars in Hastha in D60 chart. I always have a habit of washing my hands and even my family used to make fun of that.. now the whole world is doing it, many a times, on a daily basis due to the Pandemic.. I truly wholeheartedly express my obeisances for sharing such wonderful insights🙏 Love n Lights💫

Wow, this is amazing! I have watched a few of your nakshatra video now. Each one is a pure gem of Wisdom. I learn so much from you Video. You are an inspiration for me.

Vic - a good post, with lot of research. The point is, that people born in this star are suffering one after other for over a decade like 7.5 year saturn and again extending further for another 2.5 now with a gap. No good things in their life.Many lost their jobs, dearest (mothers/aunts/spouses), wealth - one or the other. (Here it is less-in regional astrology channels, there are hue and cry) They have the intelligence, sharp minds but they outwitted by dumps in every sphere of life. Youngers find it difficult to get soulmates. The positive points mentioned here are read with a surprise. They could not believe, that with lot of positives mentioned here is not translating into their life. This is not the fault of you. The predictions made in ancient times are not working for this sign anymore.

I have Sun & Moon in Hasta in pada 3 and 1. This corresponds to Gemini and Aries Navamsha.

I am a Hasta ascendant. In Hasta I have Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn is in war with Jupiter. A halve degree difference. With the life lessons I come so much further. My life is about spirituality and to know God. Much love. 💋💋

wow, so delightfully inspiring!! i have Sun in Hasta in the 8th house.

I wish you all the sucess 🙏 Your information and insights are so balanced, so wise, that im trully impressed. Blessings

Great! Thank you very much!

Thank you teacher!

Blessed blessed u just decoded my life's journey n challenges

Inspiration by soul or mind or beauty i.e planets like sun Moon and Venus in airy or watery signs can overall give best of the results . So that ,with the help of refined and quick and detailing ability of hands (hasta) to present the creativity making any thing with deep feelings either by art, architecture (qickening),with the feelings and present it's skills in front of world as success.

This made my day! Thanks so much !!

Please please tell me what is the music in the beginning of the video. It's beautiful and inspiring.

Thank you 🙏🏻☺️

*The point falling **9:28** is interesting!* It feels to become very atune to yours senses leads to a increase sense of value. 💯 Needed this. And gonna try the sunrise light exposure tomorrow. I wonder if starting the day in the sunrise light in reference with something related to your ascendant or moon will be even more impactful?

Love this, Vic. ✌🏽

You explain well . Well done VIC

Thank you good Sir.

This is great!

Very well explained

My son is hasta moon and he kept saying deiva since he was super youngg

Gratitude sir🙏

I can only write when I am inspired. I have not been inspired.

I have Moon in Hasta conjunct Pluto in Hasta ( 1 degree ) . I know Vedic Astrologers don't believe in outside planets , but I just can't ignore Pluto influence with the Moon .

I am really curious if the ancient texts have references as to what elements to watch in a chart that could indicate mental illnesses and disorders. I am thinking Moon and Mercury must be involved with some malefic for this. What are your thoughts on this topic?

Moon virgo hastaaa here

Hi Vic, I got a report from you last year and in it I have Saturn in Hasta, in the report it says Saturn is exhalted and that positive interpretations should be made about Saturn in hasta. Eg, being very good with the hands, patience and dexterity, etc. I literally just read that part of the report this morning and was surprised to find such conflicting information in this video. Can you help clarify this?

thank you

That's me ketu in hasta, I hate mornings, I don't want to wake up.

Venus in Hasta is nice as long as this alertness and quick-wit is not used for incessant nitpicking: good with her hands, yes, but would not want to be her friend, she can be very passive-aggressive with her "suggestions for improvement".

prasava in Tamil means child birth too . prasava is inspiration ! ? can you throw some light on that . also what really is inspiration ! ? people say I am inspired to do this , that inspires me but how can we feel the word inspiration ! what really is inspiration ! ( it's basic word but when actually thinking about it , it seems so unexplainable ) . can you say few words on that !

So very true !

I have moon in hasta ☺️

This was so nice oh my gosh help

my Moon and Rahu is in Hasta 😭 Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

🙏🌷❤️

Thanks Vic for this beautiful video. I agree with you on most of the points but I disagree on your view of Saturn in Hasta. This is the first time I disagree on any of your point of view. But rest of all are good. Thanks

I have my IC in Hasta

100!

I think this nashaktra is to become a highly spiritual person (nun, priest, etc...) who only seek GOD (not material life). If you have it in moon, sun or ascendant 😊.

Thank you. I’m enjoying and learning but can’t find Punarvasu in this newer series. Am I missing something?

LOVE THE HASTA VIDEO..I M ALL HASTA MOON AND VENUS BOTH IN HASTA 16 DEGREES IN 10 HOUSE.

Yes my Yogkarak Saturn is in hasta. No concrete career as such.

After watching this I become more depressed. After 16 years of devastating Jupiter(in Libra 6th) Maha Dasa my Saturn(in Virgo 5th & Conjunct Mars) Maha Dasa just started. My Saturn is in Hasta. And the Star Lord of Hasta Moon(Conjunct Venus) is in Gemini my 2nd House. I had hope that I will rise in Saturn Maha Dasa. But just gave up now as the video said that Saturn in Hasta is not good. :( I will not be inspired or motivated in next 18 years of Saturn Maha Dasa.

i have hasta in ketu, depressed always for years. my boyfriend has hasta sun.

exactly

👌🏾🕉

thx

How does Rahu function in Hasta with Moon?

Hasta is the 13th Star in Astrology

I wonder what it means for me that I have hasta ascendant with Mars in hasta

How does Sun perform in Hasta?

🌅💚

Beauty - Full Buddhi - Full Vic. Thank You especially for this, You are part of the most benefic moment, on this Light Wisdom journey of mine. A t h o u s a n d blossoms to You & Yours ! New beginnings from the Shravana moon, healing many life times.

Savitur is not exactly Sun ,Savitur is the mother of all the Sun who she gives life force (prana). 👍 👍 ..

Quicken …. The baby quickens in the womb

🌞🤩

I have sun and Saturn in hasta 3rd house....no special skill

Stimulator in English has same root word as in savitur. Common Arya roots.

Thank you Vic. I know u don’t place much weight on the (vrimshoterrai dasha) planetary triggers, but I do find this nakshatra to have strong lunar overtones. Stronger than the mercurial ones. Always interesting to compare it to Ashlesha, the mercurial-moon inversion, which almost always deals with chemicals,pharmacy,apocathary & alchemical things. Here, in hasta, ( I speculate) we have direct healing, through the hands, & perhaps bypassing the conduits of apocathary & linguistic mediums. What’s also interesting to me is that I’ve read about an association to widows for this nakshatra. Perhaps highlighting its lunar/feminine qualities (?). Just a few thoughts 😊👐👏 namaste 🙏
