Ashwini nakshatra

Ashwini Nakshatra: The First Star of the Zodiac

In Vedic astrology, the 27 nakshatras or lunar mansions are an integral part of the astrological system. Each nakshatra represents a specific energy or quality, which can influence a person's personality, behaviour and life path. Ashwini Nakshatra Rashi, the first nakshatra of the zodiac, is associated with the energy of speed, agility and healing.

 

The Ashwini Nakshatra female is ruled by the divine twin horsemen of Vedic mythology, the Ashwini Kumaras. They are believed to be the physicians of the gods and symbolise the power of healing, rejuvenation and vitality. The Ashwini Kumaras are known for their speed and swiftness and they are also associated with transportation and movement.
