Hasta Nakshatra, The Greek Myth, Chiron, the Hands

hasta nakshatra, the greek myth, chiron virgo, nakshatras vedic astrology, western and vedic astrology,

Hindu Astrology and Chinese Astrology use the lunar mansions, called in Vedic Science Nakshatras... In Vedic Sanskrit, the term Naksatra may refer to any heavenly body, or to "the stars" collectively. The classical concept of a "lunar mansion" is first found in the Atharvaveda, and becomes the primary meaning of the term in Classical Sanskrit.

Western Astrology is hold in myths and symbols like Vedic and Chinese Astrology, "myths and symbls" that Carl Gustav Jung called "Archetypes", even though the term was also used by Plato, alluding to "origin, source, model."

Necessarily, it is convenient to speak of the Principle of Polarity contained in the hermetic philosophy, which says -.

"The Principle of Polarity embodies the idea that everything is dual, everything has two poles, and everything has its opposite. All manifested things have two sides, two aspects, or two poles. Everything "is" and "isn't" at the same time, all truths are but half truths and every truth is half false, there are two sides to everything, opposites are identical in nature, yet different in degree, extremes meet, and all paradoxes may be reconciled."

This time I will tell you about Hasta Nakshatra, which is located in the Sidereal Zodiaco between 10º - 23º20' from Kanya (Virgo) and in the Tropical Zodiaco between 6º -19º20' from Tula (Libra).

I will follow the way of the myths and the hidden symbolism that the Indians and the Greeks collect, Grounding on this writing in the universal principle of polarity, since the East and West are the two sides of the same coin.

Hasta Nakshatra is symbolized by a hand with its five fingers, an open hand in sign of blessing to humanity or the hand closed like a fist.

In both signs are the two poles: Open hand in sign of Blessing, feminine energy, YIN energy, Shakti energy... and closed hand, male energy, YANG energy, Shiva energy.

But evidently "Hasta" is related to the Virgin of the Zodiac, the virgin who carries in her hand an ear of wheat, the virgin who carries in her hand the lamp to illuminate the temple, the virgin who uses her hands to heal wounds...

Virgo Is the sign that governs health, doctors and healers and as a strange or very coincident thing, is ruled by Chiron, the planet newly discovered in the last century, representing the hands, "the hands of the surgeon" that enters the Quirofano to perform the surgery with his hands and to heal the sick.

Hasta includes corvus's constellation, an especially important star called in Astrology Chinese "Wing" Gienah ... "Alchiba" corvus's beak, "Kraf" Corvus's paws...

But let's read a bit of Greek mythology, to find Ariadne's thread-.

The constellation Corvus represents the raven (or crow), Apollo’s sacred bird in Greek mythology.

According to the myth, the raven originally had white feathers.

In one story, Apollo told the bird to watch over Coronis, one of his lovers, who was pregnant at the time. Repeat - one of his lovers, who was pregnant at the time - The Virgin (Virgo)

Coronis gradually lost interest in Apollo and fell in love with a mortal man, Ischys.

When the raven reported the affair to Apollo, the god was so enraged that the bird did nothing to stop it that he flung a curse on it, scorching the raven’s feathers.

That, the legend goes, is why all ravens are black. Apollo then sent his sister Artemis to kill Coronis.

Before Coronis’ body was burned, the unborn child, Asclepius, was cut out of her womb and given to the centaur Chiron to raise. Asclepius grew up to be a famous healer and is represented by the constellation Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer.

This validates the reason why the 6th House, the dais of Virgo represents our enemies... A story of infidelity, treason, curse, the virgin who turn off the flame of the temple, she who conceived a son, the son who was born with the wound of his parents and was healed by Chiron. The archetype of the healer / wounded.

Those who are born with this Nakshatra or with a planet in contact with Hasta, must learn about the myth of the healer - wounded, remember the principle of polarity, identify when their hands are open to give and bless and when their hands close to deny and curse; Remember that the virgin through the VERB (Raven's beak) can bless or curse his own life...

A sign collects the attributes, virtues and vices of the signs that are on both sides, so Hasta it is ruled by the Solar deity "Savitr", the Sun (Leo)...

The flame lit, the husband who protects to the virgin while that flame is lit...

The Greek myth that speaks of the treason (where there are not 2 but 3), the relationship (Libra), the virgin who brings the wheat, the balance (Tula) but Which is always accompanied by a crow that watches its steps...
