Ashwini

General information

Ashwini nakshatra is positioned from 0 degrees to 13.20 degrees in Aries sign. Ketu rules over Ashwini nakshatra. The symbol of this nakshatra is a horse head and its not without a reason. If you have any planet in Ashwini nakshatra just like in case of horses you can be wild, driven, hard working, ambitious. You probably will be fond of speed and individuality. Since Ashwini is in Aries your forehead could be wider than the cheekbones. As a person you will be good natured but may have many insecurities and thus a big need to fulfill your sense of entitlement. You are very prideful as well, thus you rather do things on your own than ask for help.You do not take criticism very well.

Profession

The Aries energy makes you very independent, thus you would prefer to have your own business rather than work under somebody. Usually after the age of 30 you may get business opportunities or advancement at work. You will have talent for creative work. You may get employed in fields such as music industry, litterature, marketing. See the position of Ketu and Mars in your horoscope for more details.

Health

As Ketu rules the nakhatra and Ashwini is in Aries ruled by Mars, the native can experience headaches and inosmnia. In case of women, menstrual issues would be there. Physically though both males and females will be quite fit.

Padas

Pada 1 : May have the face of a goat, small eyes and nose. They can easily end up being lost in their ego as they try to dominate.

Pada 3 : Good decision making skills and resourceful. Scientifically inclined.
