| 1 | 0°00′ – 3°20′ (Aries) | Aries |
| 2 | 3°20′ – 6°40′ (Aries) | Taurus |
| 3 | 6°40′ – 10°00′ (Aries) | Gemini |

If the Moon was in Ashwini at birth, this is your birth nakshatra and the Vimshottari dasha begins with the Ketu mahadasha, which lasts 7 years. Traditionally the Ketu period is associated with release, introspection and unlearning what no longer fits.
Traditional themes of this nakshatra: speed, healing, fresh starts. These are general pointers for one nakshatra and should be read together with the planets in the whole chart.
