ASHWANI NAKSHATRA ( LORD – KETU ) – 000 00′ – 130 20′ Aries
अश्विनी नक्षत्र वेद मंत्र :
ॐ अश्विनौ तेजसाचक्षु: प्राणेन सरस्वती वीर्य्यम वाचेन्द्रो
बलेनेन्द्राय दधुरिन्द्रियम । ॐ अश्विनी कुमाराभ्यो नम: ।
Ashwini nakshatra is governed by the Divine twins with heads of horses, sons of Light and Consciousness. Airy, swift and dynamic in nature, its energy resembles a running horse. It makes everything more dynamic, speedy and energised. It helps us to achieve our goals quickly and to find solutions fast. With its power of recovery it has the power to bring instant, miraculous healing to the body and energises us from within. After all, it is the asterism of prana itself. Because not only our life’s experience in this early realm starts with the first breath, but, according to the Vedas, even the creation of the universe starts with the exhale of Lord Vishnu – when the still waters of creations are stirred into motion and we enter the world of duality (symbolic twins). Hence it is the first nakshatra of the zodiac.
Dwelling in the sign of Aries, which is the head of Kalapurusha (Spirit of Time), Ashwini nakshatra can bless us with powerful intellect, memory, ability to learn and strong nervous system. When Moon dwells in Ashwini nakshatra, according to Kala Prakashika, it is the best time to commence any form of education. It represents the power of the mind itself, which is ever in movement. Yet, the shadow side of this asterism is impatience (after all it is mulatrikona of Mars), impulsiveness and uncontrolled instincts. For Ashwini nakshatra natives it becomes essential to meditate and learn how to control their mind, through the power of pranayama (yogic breathing), so their mind and energy does not run impulsively like a wild horse, but is safely attached to the chariot of Consciousness.
