About Ashwini Nakshatra
Ashwini is the first nakshatra, ruled by Ketu and presided over by the celestial physicians, the Ashwini Kumaras. It grants speed, healing ability, pioneering energy and a youthful, restless drive to begin new things.
Each nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac and is divided into four padas. The Moon's nakshatra at birth (your Janma Nakshatra) seeds the Vimshottari Dasha and the auspicious starting sound for naming.
