Ashwini Nakshatra

 Spaning from 0-13degee aries, ruled by Ketu, having its deity as Ashwini Kumars, the Physicians of the Gods.

This Nakshtra represents the consciousness before it chose a body or even before the body was formed, the energy of consciousness remained in abyss where the existence of morality remained at bay; The Primary energy of this Nakshtra is of Change, being the Nakshtra ruled by Horses these Individuals are quick at it too. since its the first Nakshtra they do not hold any morality and are often shaped by others, like a mentor or mother and even social interactions and if for any reason this Phase of molding the consciousness fails to work in a positive direction it can quickly turn bloody, as this Nakshatra is also of doctors, it harbors the ability to operate on a body with utmost coldness. These Individuals often lack any social or cultural manners and are often dismissive about the requirement of such either and consider them as social frivolities. For this Nakshtra is also dubbed by some as one of Serial killers. 

Heath ledger is another native who played the role a Socially awkward Villain who pays no heed to the society and its elements and performs his acts with the coldness of a God (acting without any Human morals or motivation). Its interesting how the actor is said to have prepared himself for the role, by the placing himself in isolation of Hotel room for 6 weeks and recreating that movement for precociousness stage that Ashwini is all about. Heath ledger had his Asc in Aswhini 1st pada, the role syncronistically Shows the character to be devoid of any Moral standing and disconnected from any human motivation. This portrayal due the 1st pada being double mars and double ashwini, the energy of Ashwini is too concentrated to hold.  

The Character of Protagonist played by Christian bale, who is Ashwini moon, 2nd pada (ruled by Kritikka, symbolized by a blade), The poster of American Psycho aptly display the picture of Ashwini 2nd pada native. The 2nd pada is associated with energy that is starting to refine itself, taking on multiple forms, trying multiple things to see what fits, whilst still carrying the energy of a forming devoid of any concept of morality, consciousness, The desire to put on try on different persona can be observed by the wide range of character played by Mr Bale. This habit of putting on a "suit" can be observed through bales action towards playing the role in the movie where took on the persona of Partick batemen to seek approval of the novels writer for playing the character. The energy carried on by such position is a cold distance towards money and fame, where internally they do not understand the need for such concepts in the Society.            

The Energy of Aswhini 3rd cane be seen in the longest running cult classic Serial killer TV series, Dexter. The energy is reverberated by the character of dexter, played by Michael C hall, in the TV series Dexter, played by Michael C hall, Who plays a Serial killer who worked for the Miami Metro Police department as a Blood spatter analyst. The method of killing involved cutting the body into pieces after Dexter displays the Evidence of their Guilt in the kill room. The character is said to have developed an instinct for blood after witnessing the the brutal death of his mother, afterwhich Henry the Foster father (a cop at Maimi PD) helped dexter control his lust for blood and put it in the right direction.
Michael C hall has Ashwini in 3rd pada, Falling in the Navamsha of gemini, the Native is guided by Rudra from Ardra Nakshtra (ruled by Rahu and placed in Gemini). There is an Emphasis on developing speech here, which can help the native maintain and mask the classical anti-social nature associated with this Nakshtra.      

Aswhini 4th pada falls in the cancer navamsha. This creates a combination akin to Lunar eclipse. In actuality rahu has the ability to eclipses sun & ketu to eclipses moon. Here the headless snake is molded by emotions of ketu and where the non-existence of morality in the first phase of the formation of soul is now being introduced to the emotions of the earthly body. Here the soul relies on its the womb to address and explain all emotions, effectively dictating the morality it would have for life. For those with a placement of ashwini 4th pada, there would have been some unresolved emotions at during the time they were in the womb, this pattern o not addressing and understanding emotions is what drives these individuals, one would often find these individuals lacking any sense of emotions or akin to someone who is searching for answers for the questions they are unaware of. This creates a distant and mysterious personality who often magnetize the crowd for they would be curious as to what makes the person so emotional yet so far from human grasp.
These individual often turn towards mysticism and occult studies as a source for understanding the human body & mind in order to grasp the emotions created by it, viewing them as Earthly and not a universal phenomena (to them its often the case that earthly emotions are lower order manifestation originating from a incomplete or a derivative transformation in the earthly realm). One such example could be Rasputin the mystical saint of Russia, infamously rumored for being unkillable.


Every naskhtra is aspected by another nakshtra which is on the other side of the  axis, called the maraka (in Classical chart denoting the spouce). In case of ashwini 1st pada (aries navamsha ) it is chitra (libra navamsha), here the natural combination of mars-venus yoga would form, giving the individual high energy and when undirected causes high volatility, a natural urge to understand the body while trying to comprehend its aspects at the same time, the energy causes to be care free about the consequences related to the body and thereby may form outlets through self harm the risk rises when the energy is disturbed. The energy is required to be handled with the diplomatic balance of libra, requiring a mastery of words (the actual thing would be the working world, but at the end they too are mere vibration, hence use of the word "word"). Ability to indulge without being constantly engrossed, remember the body is merely the manifestation of desires itself and to enjoy it at the slow constant pace, the goal is to savor every flavor, every sensation.    
Ashwini pada 2 has Chitra 4th pada on the other axis, ruled by Scorpio navmansha, the Nakshtra of death and decay. Here Mars completes its cycle from birth to death; the energy often creates moments in life when the persona has to shed its skin, to be born again, taking on new forms. The energy being a complete Martian symbolizes that of a true warrior. The energy being one to push beyond the boundaries to reach a new stage of evolution. This is a placement denoted by prolonged fires, which may be denoted of being akin to coal that burn through the night. The energy craves solitude and open sky, a free and undeterred energy. The energy craves deep reflective solitude, like a lake on a mountain they sit in a meditative state. The placement at its core too form the venus-mars yoga, the relative positions auses it to effectively activate the yoga at marriage. 

Ashwini pada 3 has Swati 1st pada on the other axis, ruled by Sagittarius it forms a Jupiter-mercury yoga, mercury being unconventional in nature, being the bastard Child of Wife of Jupiter, this energy causes one to form incestuous relationship, this energy can be observed from the Michal C hall who plays Dexter marrying Jenifer carpenter who plays his step sister in the TV series, what's more interesting is that Michall Chall divorced his 1st wife in 2006, right when Dexter was first aired, started dating Jenifer Carpenter in 2007 and announced his marriage with Jenifer carpenter in 2008 and divorced her in 2011, 2 years before the show ended, the story of TV series Dexter too included the Serial killer forming intimate relations with the step sister on confessing his love towards the end of season 6 which aired in 20011. At its core the energy grants exceptional logical and deduction capabilities with intellectual brilliance. The incestuous relation is partially owed to Mars being Antithetical to the boundaries of Dharma. Only when Mars enters the domain of Saturn does this energy is controled and directed, where by the person becomes goal oriented, will to achieve anything he set out out to achieve, the energy is also responsible for cross border raids where rules of engagement no longer apply, the only directive is to complete the objective in any manner deem fit ( no boundaries exist here). The free and untamed energy requires one to understand its own cause of existence and act in furtherance of such cause, primarily the energy is untamed and unhinged, any attempt to chain the energy causes an dysfunctional outburst. The only way it is to be dealt is it allow outlets where the Idea of restriction of is built by the Self not practical terms, asking to be treated like Humans who have the will to Will, while also requiring philosophical supervision, so that the self governing system are built cover every aspect of human experience.

Ashwini 4th pada has Swati 2nd pada on it other axis, falling in the Capricorn Navamsha, creating a Moon-Saturn conjunction commonly known as Vish Yog. The ever changing energy of moon is confined by the chains of Saturn, this stagnation of creative energy causes moon to become unstable, often leading to the expression of the energy in more Saturianian ways. Saturn being associated with cold, rules based, slow order when combined with a drastically opposite energy of moon that is ever changing, fast, cold but soothing causes the energy of extreme coldness to rise, when experienced with core aspect Saturn, whose Natural energy is not of a active guide rather a passive causes inexpressible frustrating sadness to be experienced. The Energy here can be balanced by indulging in a game of wits. The Act of wit balances the cold energy of Saturn without it being too cruel while addressing the fast paced nature of moon, this also appeals to the diplomatic nature of Saturn as well as the fun loving, indulging nature of Moon. further a thing to take note of is that Mars is exalted in Capricorn, therefor Raw, cut throat of Mars energy needs to molded by the moon into a more productive and fun loving form, thereby reducing the Burden imposed by Saturn.
This unfiltered energy when internalized has the ability to transform a person to experience a Snake like magnetism, where crowds are drawn to the mere sight of such energy. Out of the 4 Pada this can be most difficult to master and creates mysticism unmatched by none, In many ways this energy requires you face all the closeted experiences & energies
