0° 00' to 13° 20’ Aries ​

Aśvinī​ - The Swift One

Aśvinī means ‘horse’, which is the sign’s symbol, reflecting its swiftness and drive. This is good for starting new things but may be a little less interested in following through. Courageous and sometimes a little impulsive, its ruling deities are the twin horsemen and physicians to the gods. Its swiftness works in sporting activities, or anything that spikes adrenaline, while health and travel are interests.

When the Moon transits Aśvinī, it's a good day for ​new beginnings, travel, and healing.  ​
