Janma Nakshatra Ashwini
This is the first nakshatra, symbolized by the head of a horse, belonging to the Aries zodiac sign (spanning from 0°0' to 13°20'). Its ruler is Ketu, and the deity is Ashwini Kumara. Those born under this constellation are loyal and strong, usually successful, and maintain good relationships with those around them.
Among them, there are also tough individuals who tend towards unlawful and immoral actions. These are usually people with a pleasant appearance, beautiful eyes, a broad forehead, and a moderately sized nose. They possess great restraint, bringing calmness and composure. The path of life they must follow is Dharma (knowing the law, morality, piety, and repaying debts).
These people can be very loyal, which may ultimately become their "downfall," as they often sacrifice themselves for the sake of their loved ones. They are also known for their high intellect. When they follow their Dharma, they gain confidence in knowledge that comes from above, making them firm in their convictions and highly self-assured.
They are thoughtful in their decisions, and once they make one, they follow it through to the end. Their calm and quiet demeanor serves as a protective mechanism against the fear of criticism and rejection. What others think of them is important to them.
People born under the Ashwini constellation have the ability to successfully navigate many paths and can find themselves in various fields. A good financial situation is not always guaranteed, so they should be cautious not to spend too much money if such an opportunity arises. They may succeed as doctors, businesspeople, in extreme sports, in law enforcement, or in fields involving weapons.
Ashwini Nakshatra representatives value family greatly. They typically have deep love for family members and friends. However, they can be stubborn and firm in their decisions, which may lead to distancing themselves from others.
Destructive degrees for planets in Ashwini in the natal chart: Moon and Ketu – 8° in Aries, Saturn – 10° in Aries. The placement of planets at destructive degrees can negatively impact the longevity of the horoscope owner or bring other troubles unless there are aspects from Mars or Jupiter. It is better not to start new things and to remain cautious whenever such planets pass through destructive degrees in the transit chart.

Padas of Ashwini Nakshatra
Pada 1 – Aries Navamsha (0°0' – 3°20' in Aries)
These are the most combative individuals of Ashwini, as the fire element is very strong here. This pada marks the beginning of a new cycle for any process and is ruled by Mars. Such people cannot help but act, and they do so very quickly. They are not attached to a partner or the opinions of others, being more egoistic than representatives of other padas of Ashwini Nakshatra.
If Mars is located in this pada, the person cannot sit still without doing something. They feel a strong urge to move, without being aware of the reason (this is due to Ketu's influence as the ruler of the nakshatra). If the Moon is in this pada or the Ascendant Lord, the person cannot help but care for others. Any planet in this pada will receive a lot of energy. The areas ruled by this planet will be very active. Saturn, which is naturally slow, finds this pada particularly challenging. A person with Saturn here will find it very difficult to cope with various delays.
There arises a strong need for control, as uncontrolled actions can lead the person to irreversible consequences. This pada is quite dangerous for life. It is actually a Gandanta (the boundary between two opposing elements, water and fire, Pisces and Aries). The placement of the Ascendant or the Ascendant Lord in a Gandanta degree (the last degree of Pisces – the first degree of Aries) can bring danger around the time of birth. The activity of such a person is often associated with heavy physical loads, speed, and risky activities.
Pada 2 – Taurus Navamsha (3°20' – 6°40' in Aries)
These people are calm, stable, and thoughtful in their actions, aiming to achieve benefit and results, and they see things through to the end. They can be very successful thanks to their persistence.
The ruler of this pada is Venus. Hence, possible careers may be in aesthetics, where agility and activity are required (dancing, figure skating, artistic gymnastics, massage, surgery, plastic surgery of the face). There is a strong interest in cars and horses here. Success can come through singing, performing arts, speech, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, gardening, working with trauma, or active biological supplements.
Pada 3 – Gemini Navamsha (6°40' – 10°0' in Aries)
Very intellectual people, using their minds to achieve their goals. This pada is ruled by Mercury, and the person's ideas are heard and spread very quickly.
Planets in this pada give the person the ability to solve problems quickly, especially those that must not be delayed. This pada is characterized by lottery, gambling, and sports.
These people can inspire and motivate others, but they lack practicality. They can come up with good ideas, but it is difficult for them to bring them to fruition. There is an ability to sell a product and express themselves through small and retail trade, logistics, transportation business, or marking trails.
Pada 4 – Cancer Navamsha (10°0' – 13°20' in Aries)
This pada is ruled by the Moon and is the most emotional. These people are sensitive, intuitive, and find fulfillment through caring for others, service, and healing. They are ready to act quickly, heal, and care.
They can work as psychologists, doctors, or delve deeply into another person's situation. They may also have an interest in proper nutrition or be somehow involved in military activities. Their emotions can slow down their progress, but at the same time, these people can act quickly when help is needed. They are ready to protect their family, home, and loved ones. These are very sensitive people, and it’s not worth hurting them.
Janma Nakshatra Bharani
This is the second Nakshatra. Its symbol is a boat, and its animal symbol is an elephant. This constellation consists of three dim stars forming a triangle. It falls within the zodiac sign of Aries, spanning from 13°20' to 26°40' in Aries. Its ruling planet is Venus, and its deity is Yamaraja.
People born under this Nakshatra are focused on justice. However, they often have a heightened sense of superiority, which manifests in subjective conversations with others. Their sense of self-importance may lead them to believe they are kinder and wiser than their peers. They might even compare themselves to gods if they give excessive attention to their personality. If they follow the right path, they will embody loyalty, truth, and purity.
