Planet in Nakshatra
Venus in Hasta Nakshatra
When Venus (Shukra) occupies Hasta nakshatra, presided over by Savitar and ruled by Moon, it takes on the skilful, clever, crafty flavour of this lunar mansion.
The meaning of Venus in Hasta
Hasta, ruled by the Moon and the solar deity Savitar, gives skill of the hands, cleverness and the ability to manifest.
Shukra is the karaka of love, marriage and the finer pleasures of life. A strong Venus gives charm, artistic talent and a happy married life.
Hasta is ruled by Moon. So Venus placed here works through a blend of its own love and the mind influence of Moon. The deity Savitar sets the inner aim of this placement, while Venus supplies the engine of love, marriage, beauty, luxury, arts.
