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 twin horsemen and physicians to the gods. Your swiftness works for you in sporting activities, or anything that spikes adrenaline, while health and travel are interests. 

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