0° 00' to 13° 20’ Aries ​

Aśvinī​ - The Swift One

Aśvinī’ means ‘horse’, which is your sign’s symbol, reflecting your swiftness and drive. You are interested in starting new things but may be a little less interested in the follow through. You are courageous but sometimes a little impulsive. Your ruling deities are the Aśvinī​ Kumaras, the twin horsemen and physicians to the gods. Your swiftness works for you in sporting activities, or anything that spikes adrenaline, while health and healing are an interest. 

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