Asvhini - 'The Sign of Transport'

Asvhini is the 'quick starter' sign. Asvhini means 'horse woman' and those with this sign prominent are interested in starting new things all the time, but may be a little less interested in following through! There is also an interest in healing and they are courageous, as well as very impulsive. Jump in and think about it later, is there motto. However, this can lead to many mistakes. Not that they dwell on them too much. It's on to the next big thrill. It's symbol is a horse's head and it is ruled by the Asvhini Kumaras, the twin horsemen, and physicians. 

This swiftness works for them in sporting activities, or anything that spikes adrenaline, while healing itself is fast. If you are planning on a course of treatment or looking to start a new fitness regime, the day the Moon transits this sign is a good time to start.

Asvhini represents the power to heal and reach one's desires and those with the sign prominent are courageous and powerful in achieving their goals.
