The Nakshatras

Ashwini

Nakshatra 1 · ruled by Ketu · the Ashwini Kumaras

The first lunar mansion, a horse's head carried by the twin divine physicians — swift beginnings.

Ashwini is the instinct to begin and to mend: quick, fresh, and eager to be first. It heals and initiates by moving, and grows by learning to finish what its speed sets in motion.
