🌑✋ Hasta's Handprint: Contemplating Desires in the Solar Eclipse Shadow through Vedic Astrology


🌘 Hasta's Insight: Reviewing Desires in Eclipse Shadows

The upcoming Solar Eclipse lands in Hasta Nakshatra - the lunar mansion ruled by the Moon and symbolized by an open hand. Think of Hasta nakshatra as the lunar mansion where we're all invited to manifest our desires.


The Eclipse Magnifying Glass: A Vedic Astrology Perspective

With the Sun being eclipsed by the dark moon in Hasta, we're focusing more on the contemplation of what we desire rather than initiating new ones.

Why?
  • New beginnings are generally not advised during eclipse periods.

  • The life-giving planets, Sun or Moon, are shadowed by Rahu or Ketu


Think of this Solar eclipse as if the universe is handing us a magnifying glass to examine the nitty-gritty of our existence, but not act upon important matters just yet!


Are you curious to learn more about the astrological significance of eclipses? To learn more about the Vedic perspective on lunar and solar eclipses, check out my insightful article here. It offers a fascinating exploration of the spiritual symbolism and potential impacts of eclipses.


A Cosmic Party: Mercury and Ketu with the Solar Eclipse

But wait, there's more! Mercury, the analytical and efficient ruler of Virgo, is also hanging out in Hasta nakshatra, along with Ketu, our planetary guru of detachment. These two planets together in Virgo are like having a meticulous editor and a Zen master at the same party! Things are going to get interesting!


Mercury in Hasta is nudging us to choose our words carefully. It's time to dive deep into the details of our lives. Meanwhile, Ketu's whispering in our ear, "Hey, maybe it's time to loosen that grip a little?" It's all about finding the balance between control and surrender.


This is considered important for all rising signs! And it is very helpful to understand how it relates to the specific house in the birth chart that the eclipse occurs within (be sure to get the Solar eclipse forecast for your rising sign here).


  • Ketu's influence: A planetary broom sweeping away outdated habits - whether we like it or not!

  • Sun and Moon in Hasta: Shining a light on how to fine-tune our approach to life


Special Note for Mercury-Ruled Signs

For my Mercury-ruled friends (looking at you, Gemini and Virgo), this Solar eclipse is particularly important for your rising signs. It can show us where we might be a slightly obsessed with perfection.


Remember, it's all about balance.

Can we be skilled and surrender at the same time? This eclipse is inviting us to try! It's a cosmic dance of growth, both personal and spiritual. So, let's put on our planetary magnifying glasses and see where this powerful eclipse takes us!
