Hasta is the star of the Hand. Its presiding deity is Savitur, a solar deity who represents the waking sun—the one who says, "Wake up and get to work!" Savitur is the inspirer, the vivifier, and the one who places the creative impulse in our hands. The mythology describes Savitur as the "Golden Handed" god. He stretches out his arms to bless the world, to deliver babies, and to grab resources. This gives Hasta natives the ability to *manifest* things physically. They are the craftsmen, the writers, the surgeons, and the magicians. The symbol of the Hand also relates to the trickster. The hand can heal, but it can also steal. Hasta is associated with slight-of-hand, magic, and humor. There is a playful, mischievous energy here. Natives are often funny, witty, and good at mimicry. Another aspect is the connection to the Moon (the planetary ruler). The Moon represents the mind, and the Hand is the tool of the mind. Hasta natives are incredibly mental; their hands move as fast as their thoughts. They can be prone to anxiety because their minds are always racing (like the Moon's phases). The closed fist symbol represents secrecy and greed, while the open hand represents blessing and greeting. Hasta natives oscillate between these two: holding on tight to what they have, and waving to the crowd for attention. They have a deep need to be useful and to be recognized for their skills.
