Hasta Nakshatra 3rd Pada — position and Navamsa
The 3rd pada of Hasta nakshatra spans 16°40′ to 20°00′ of Virgo. Each pada is 3°20′ — exactly one Navamsa — so a birth in this pada places the Navamsa position in Gemini Navamsa, ruled by Mercury.
The nakshatra lord Moon and the pada (Navamsa) lord Mercury are natural friends — their friendship lets the nakshatra's gifts bloom easily.
Effect on temperament
The natives of Hasta are skillful, clever, witty, and practical — the constellation of Savita gives 'siddhi in the hands'. The workmanship, the calculation, the healing — whatever you touch, is groomed. The mind is sometimes restless and anxious; If the hands are busy, the mind remains calm.
Pada-specific: the dual air-element nature of the Gemini Navamsa gives this temperament its own shade — which is why the four padas of one nakshatra are never identical.
Name syllable (for naming ceremonies)
The classical name-syllable of this pada is «Na» (ण) — tradition considers it auspicious to name a child by the birth-pada syllable. (All four syllables of Hasta: Poo (पू), Sha (ष), Na (ण), Tha (ठ))
