Nakshatra 1 of 27

Ashwini Nakshatra

Ashwini nakshatra spans 0° to 13.33° of the sidereal zodiac and is ruled by Ketu. Its theme: speed, first aid, restless beginnings — the impulse to start moving before the plan exists.

Moon: NASA JPL DE440 minus the Lahiri ayanamsa (Swiss Ephemeris).

The mansions either side and the sign it starts in: Revati, Bharani and Aries.

The other mansions under Ketu: Magha and Mula.

Your Moon nakshatra is read from a kundli chart on the sidereal zodiac; the moon sign calculator uses the tropical one, so it often names the next sign along. Kundli matching then compares the nakshatra with a partner's.

One degree of Ashwini takes the Moon 101 minutes on this pass: that is how far both times move if your ayanamsa differs from Lahiri (24.23° in 2026) by a degree. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.

Ashwini is no. 1 of 27, running from 0°00′ Aries to 13°20′ Aries — wholly inside Aries, in four padas of 3°20′. Ketu also rules Magha (no. 10) and Mula (no. 19), shaded darker.

Moon in Ashwini

What Ashwini nakshatra is said to give

Ashwini opens the cycle, and its tradition is all about speed and first aid. The twin horsemen who preside over it arrive quickly and heal, so people with the Moon here are described as quick to act, youthful in outlook and drawn to fixing problems the moment they appear. Impatience is the other side of the same gift.

Strengths

Initiative, courage, a talent for healing or rescuing, and the ability to start things without waiting for permission.

Challenges

Restlessness, acting before thinking and losing interest once the urgent part is over.

Ashwini in relationships

Enthusiastic and protective, often the one who rushes to help. Needs a partner who does not mind a fast pace.

Ashwini at work

Medicine and emergency services, sport, transport, start-ups and any work that rewards quick response.

The horse's head stands for speed and vitality; the physicians who ride it make Ashwini a mansion of new beginnings that arrive in time to help.

Ashwini gets its longest stays around 2020, 2029 and 2038, when the Moon's apogee (its slowest point) lies in this mansion, and its shortest around 2025 and 2034, when perigee does.

Reading Ashwini: gana, yoni and caste

  • Gana: Deva — divine: refined and cooperative, easy to live with and slow to confront. Nearest Deva neighbors: Revati (no. 27) and Mrigashira (no. 5).
  • Yoni: Horse — shared only with Shatabhisha (no. 24); two charts with the same yoni get the top score for this factor.
  • Caste: Merchant. Presiding deity: Ashwini Kumaras, the celestial physicians; symbol: a horse's head.
