Ashwin Twins cosmic address is  0°-13° 20 in the constellation of Aries where there are two prominent stars at the top of a horses head. They are described in the Rig Veda as riding a golden chariot and make their appearance between dusk and dawn embodying the skills to heal and cure and the ability to bring rain and water in times of drought. 

The Ashwin twins are the sons of the Saraṇyū (the mist & clouds) and Surya the Sun, their half brothers are Saturn and Yama. The are famously known as the the physician to the Gods and of the heavens, who work miracles for the Sages (Rishis). 

Ashwini Nakshatra is an initiator who is direct and swift, releasing its vital force skilfully and with great beauty. As the the princes of the Sun, they inherently have prestige and status, yet they were born out of discovery and the shattering of illusion.  

Adept in knowing of how to work with shadow and light, they operate in a mystical and mysterious space of knowledge, equipped with a unique set of skills to bend the law of nature, of time, untie its knots and the release of karma.  

As masters of the speed of light , they understand the restorative power contained within the frequencies of light and sound. Often referred to as a right ray of light the Ashwini Nakshatra contains a very youthful and restorative quality, that is filled with a playful mischief, adept in finding inventive workarounds employing simplicity and effectiveness.

It is a highly motivational and inspired Naksahtra with an ability to easily influence people drawing from their instinctual talents of knowing of how to shift the currents of the mind and heart of a people in the desired direction. 

Ashwini is not a contemplative Nakshatra nor is it cruel, It is the epitome of ‘ready or not here we go’. It doesn't beat around the bush, preferring to cut right into the heart of the matter. Depending on the planet it can be very direct and even downright blunt.

Ashwini has a deeply embedded need to be inspired and to be in a place or a position where it can be seen and followed, yet remain free, rebelling when they are contained or controlled,

They are driven to lead with a great capacity to attract and inspire others, becoming great builders of community. Often using their resources, to produce more resources supporting their path and building their dharma.

It is a very mystical and dharmic Nakshatra but because of its swift movement,  its  deep wisdom often gets overlooked because it is done with such ease and quickness most can not recognise the skill and magic, it can appears to others to have always been.

There are three main shadowy or negative points of this Nakshatra. It can be overly over indulgent and egotistical,  abuse its power and position, or if  its energy is not harnessed it can turn inward and become they can become lazy and weak.
