About Ashwini Nakshatra in Astrology.
Ashwini is the first nakshatra (lunar mansion) in Hindu astronomy having a spread from 0°-0'-0" to 13°-20', corresponding to the head of Aries, including the stars β and γ Arietis. The name Ashwini is used by Varahamihira (6th century).
Ashwini Nakshatra ranges from 0 to 13.20 degrees in Aries zodiac sign and is characterized by a couple of shining stars. It may not be wrong to call it spontaneous stars. No wonder, Ashwini Kumaras are full of sincerity and active intelligence. Since it is the first Nakshatra, those born under this are seen carrying the energy of the beginnings and are not afraid to start anything new. The first constellation of a zodiac belt, Ashwini Kumaras is symbolic of golden armoured horse-headed twins. Just like a horse, the natives possess power, strength, dignity, swiftness, courage, and are also endowed with vitality and imitativeness. They are too fast and pioneers of ideas and activities. These untamed horses are least likely to tell what needs to be done and always focus on self-improvements.
A very few of you would know that they are the physicians of God, the friends of the sick and unfortunate. With Ketu, the south node as the governor of Ashwini Nakshatra, this constellation reflects the dynamism of Ketu.
