Nakshatra

Ashwini

Ruled by Ketu

Ashwini is the first nakshatra — the gateway. It represents the swift, healing energy of the Ashwini Kumaras, the divine physicians. People born under Ashwini have a gift for starting things. They are natural pioneers, quick to act, and drawn to healing arts. The shadow is impatience: the same speed that starts projects can abandon them when the initial spark fades.
