Ashwini nakshatra (Aries 0°–13°20′) is ruled by Ketu, with Ashwini Kumaras (celestial physicians) as its presiding deity and horse's head as its symbol. The first nakshatra, symbolised by a horse's head and presided over by the Ashwini Kumaras, the divine healers. Natives are quick, pioneering and energetic — the trailblazers of the zodiac, eager to begin new things and instinctively drawn to healing and rescue. Ruled by Ketu and falling wholly in Aries, they act on impulse, move fast, and dislike being held back.

Medicine, healing and therapy, emergency and rescue services, sports, transport, and pioneering or start-up ventures — anywhere speed, initiative and a fresh start are rewarded.
Warm and impulsive in love, Ashwini natives fall quickly and want a partner who keeps pace with their energy. Deva gana and the horse yoni make them playful yet restless; they pair best with grounded, patient partners.
Pioneering courage and initiative; Natural healing and helping instinct; Speed, independence and youthful vitality.
Impatience and impulsiveness; Starting more than they finish; A headstrong, stubborn streak.
Honour the Ashwini Kumaras or Ganesha; steady Ketu through humility and by finishing what you start.
