Marriage and Compatibility
Hasta belongs to the Deva gana and Adi nadi. In matching, a partner from the same nadi (Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu and Uttara Phalguni and others) creates Nadi dosha unless an exception applies. Deva gana matches best with Deva and Manushya.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Hasta starts life in the Moon Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
Remedies

- Gemstone: Pearl (Moti) - only if Moon is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
