Career and Nature
Ruled by Ketu, Ashwini natives often do well in research, spirituality, alternative healing, coding and investigative work. The deity Ashwini Kumaras and the symbol of a horse's head add their own flavour to the work style.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Ashwini starts life in the Ketu Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
