Eclipses 2024 & Hasta naksatra | Vedic Astrology

13/03/2024

In terms of the moon's course, the Hasta moon house plays a prominent role in 2024. Because this year a solar and lunar eclipse will be observed in this naksatra. The full moon on March 25th and the new moon on October 2nd in the Hasta naksatra can activate such events that, in the best case, we will finally be able to control everything that we can influence.

Clenched hand

The Hasta naksatra symbol is a fisted hand. It refers to everything we grasp and hold, physically, emotionally and mentally. Since during the eclipses the Moon is in conjunction with Ketu, which represents the karma of the past, the Descending Node of the Moon, it will be recommended to examine what should have been let go a long time ago and what opportunities and thoughts should be seized that will move our future in a positive direction.

Based on the celestial movements, it will be time to think about our daily repeated actions, our routine thoughts, our old emotional world, our usual/habitual relationships, and to think about their raison d'être: in our current age, financial situation, mental and emotional state, what really has a place? Do our current habits help us achieve our plans for the future? Can we achieve our goals if we continue to repeat the same things we have done so far?

Chaos in the Heads: Lunar Eclipse, March 25.

"You'd rather live in the illusion of safety than be free enough to take control of your own life again."

- Stephanie Scott's sentence in her novel What's Left of Me could even be the key phrase of the full moon associated with the lunar eclipse.

The lunar eclipse in March confronts us with our illusions, our unfulfilled dreams. Where do we believe ourselves? The message of Hasta is that instead of dreaming, we should get what we want, seize the opportunities. Mercury will be gandanta during the eclipse, so where we currently feel chaos or crisis in our lives, that situation has arisen due to karmic reasons. Clear speech and organizing chaotic thoughts will play a big part in solving the problem, but working with your hands can also be an excellent therapy now.

Hasta's ruling planet is the Moon, so the eclipses in 2024 can bring changeable times full of emotional experiences. For those who have an important planet or point (ascendant, birth ruler, Moon, Ketu/Rahu, dasa/bukti lord) in the Hasta naksatra, the effect of the eclipses will be stronger in their case.
