Hasta's symbol is a closed hand or fist. It is therefore connected to activities related to hands, dexterity and gives the ability to achieve goals quickly.

Born under Hasta's auspices, you will be religiously minded, respectful of sages and the learned. You are often tall and thin in physical appearance. Full of resources, you are dynamic, and able to grasp and hold on to all sorts of things. Hasta prefers daily repetitive work such as arts and crafts, rather than leadership.

Your sense of industry is pronounced here, and you can be hard working, innovative and service oriented. You are good at organizing and managing things. You can also excel at jobs which involve a lot of travelling.

You are a natural counselor and adviser, and like to share your wisdom and great sense of humor. This brings you a good notoriety and an entertaining attitude in your community. But generally, you don't make yourself dependent, and you discourage others from being attached to you. Be aware of your unnecessarily critical nature, which can be used for the wrong reasons at times; learn to be patient with people.

You could be an author, educator, artisan, teacher, salesman, handcrafter, painter, stage magician, comedian, and palm reader, working in the travel industry or in hospitals.

Money comes and goes; you may encounter financially difficult periods, until you turn towards spirituality, which can help you to transform yourself and attract fortune by changing your consciousness. You can understand knowledge and philosophy very well, and minutely work on meditating and following the teachings of the masters, as well as studying ancient spiritual sciences like pūjas, homas, Vāstu, etc. This ability can lead you to transform your life completely and for the better.

Characteristics of a Citra born

Citra is 'the star of opportunity'. It is of bright and transparent appearance.

This nakṣatra reflects the world of māya and delusion, which the native is to overcome. It allows the person to gain the fruit of his good past actions that come through righteousness and sincerity. It has a highly spiritual energy and effect, and is one of the most mystical of the twenty seven nakṣatras.

Citra stands for the spiritual initiation that gives direct insight into the truth. It gives a life of challenges that precedes the seeking for enlightenment. Citra confers a great desire to achieve and reach a greater consciousness, as it holds a great idealism and purity. The native feels he must glimpse enlightenment, and work in some way or other to live and radiate it.

You will be an efficient leader when you are born under Citra. You have elegance and charisma, you are bright, popular, extremely honest and a soft person, fond of the latest invention on the market. You usually stand out in a crowd and like to shine.

Your desire of knowledge can incite you to study a whole life time, without ever feeling you have mastered your passion thoroughly. This is the reason why you constantly work on improving yourself. You also have artistic talents and the ability to arrange things creatively. You may be good at dance, music or drama; you have the intelligence to be an architect, a lawyer, jeweler, detective, teacher or a person learned in the Vedas, a mystic.

You are also blessed with business skills and can be a genius in your field; you may be involved in medicinal science and particularly the science of herbs and plants in Āyurveda medicine.

Take especially care of your kidneys and bladder and keep your nerves soothed and relaxed always.
