Jupiter is a benevolent planet in Vedic astrology and when it is placed in the Hasta Nakshatra, it brings prosperity, happiness, and success. Hasta, also known as the "Hand" or "Palm", is ruled by the Moon and falls under the zodiac sign Virgo. It symbolizes dexterity, skillfulness, and creativity. Jupiter placed in Hasta can provide varying results depending on which pada (part) of Hasta it occupies.
