Dasha at birth
If your Moon is in Hasta, your life begins in the Moon dasha, a 10-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Hasta the Moon had travelled.
Hasta in the Panchang
When the Moon passes through Hasta, the day takes on a swift quality, traditionally good for trade, learning and tasks to finish quickly. See today's nakshatra in the Panchang.
