Beyond what our hands can shape
and our minds can imagine,
divine grace unfolds
in the space we open within.
Today, on 10 October, the New Moon meets Hasta Nakshatra in the grounded realm of Virgo — where seeds of intention take root, nourished by our effort and what lies beyond our hands.
Hasta is one of Vedic Astrology’s 27 Nakshatras, or lunar mansions. Each Nakshatra carries its own mythology and symbolism, offering a fascinating window into our inner world.
Hasta means “the hand”: the hands that create, heal, nourish, care and shape our lives. That hold on — and can learn to let go.
Ruled by the Moon, its deity is Savitar, a form of Surya, the Sun. Vedic hymns describe him as golden-handed, bringing guidance, protection and blessings.
Hasta carries the determination to give intentions form. Yet pursuing material gains and perfecting every detail, we can believe everything depends on us — leaving little room for spiritual life or divine support.
Savitar is invoked in the Gayatri Mantra, a prayer asking divine light to illuminate our understanding and guide our thoughts — towards our innermost spiritual light.
Hasta’s deeper aim is Moksha: LIBERATION. Perhaps its invitation is to keep creating while loosening our attachment to what we achieve, possess or control.
This New Moon invites us to connect with the infinite light within — perhaps through meditation, journaling or the Gayatri Mantra. 🕯️
What am I building — and does it nourish my inner life?
Where has determination become control?
What might become clearer if I opened to divine guidance?
This New Moon also closes Pitṛ Pakṣa, the fortnight honouring our ancestors — a moment to remember those before us and the gifts we carry forward.
Navarātri begins on 11 October: nine nights honouring Shakti, the Divine Feminine. Through prayer, mantra and ritual, her nurturing, protective and transformative power is celebrated.
A daily practice can help us notice what needs nurturing, what needs protecting — and what is ready to change.
