Questions people ask

Who is the ruling planet of Ashwini nakshatra?

Ashwini is ruled by Ketu. People born with the Moon here begin life in Ketu Mahadasha in the Vimshottari dasha system.

What is the gana and nadi of Ashwini?

Ashwini belongs to Deva gana and Adi nadi. Its yoni (animal symbol) is the horse.

Which nakshatras match best with Ashwini?

Using each nakshatra’s mid-point, the highest traditional Guna Milan scores for a Ashwini boy are with Bharani (34), Pushya (29.5), Ashwini (28). Real results depend on the exact Moon degree and the other koota rules, so always check both full birth charts.

Does Ashwini have Nadi dosha with Ardra?

Ashwini shares Adi nadi with Ardra, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Jyeshtha, Mula, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, so the Nadi koota scores 0 with them. Tradition cancels this in several cases (for example the same nakshatra in different charans). See the Nadi dosha page for the rules.
