Ashwini Nakshatra: Symbol of Healing, Energy & New Beginnings

Introduction: Ashwini Nakshatra – The Dawn of the Cosmic Journey

In Vedic Astrology, the 27 Nakshatras (lunar constellations) are the guiding stars of destiny. The very first among them, Ashwini Nakshatra, marks the beginning of the zodiac cycle and symbolizes vitality, rejuvenation, and fresh starts.

Ashwini Nakshatra spans 0°00’ to 13°20’ in Aries (Mesha Rashi). It is ruled by Ketu, while the sign lord is Mars – a combination that fuses speed, courage, and mystical healing powers. Its presiding deities, the Ashwini Kumaras, are celestial physicians, symbolizing renewal, healing, and divine vitality.

At Daivagyag, we believe that Ashwini Nakshatra is not only the starting point of the zodiac but also the spark of cosmic life force – guiding us towards new beginnings and inner healing.
