Ashwini Nakshatra representatives value family greatly. They typically have deep love for family members and friends. However, they can be stubborn and firm in their decisions, which may lead to distancing themselves from others.
Destructive degrees for planets in Ashwini in the natal chart: Moon and Ketu – 8° in Aries, Saturn – 10° in Aries. The placement of planets at destructive degrees can negatively impact the longevity of the horoscope owner or bring other troubles unless there are aspects from Mars or Jupiter. It is better not to start new things and to remain cautious whenever such planets pass through destructive degrees in the transit chart.

Padas of Ashwini Nakshatra
Pada 1 – Aries Navamsha (0°0' – 3°20' in Aries)
These are the most combative individuals of Ashwini, as the fire element is very strong here. This pada marks the beginning of a new cycle for any process and is ruled by Mars. Such people cannot help but act, and they do so very quickly. They are not attached to a partner or the opinions of others, being more egoistic than representatives of other padas of Ashwini Nakshatra.
If Mars is located in this pada, the person cannot sit still without doing something. They feel a strong urge to move, without being aware of the reason (this is due to Ketu's influence as the ruler of the nakshatra). If the Moon is in this pada or the Ascendant Lord, the person cannot help but care for others. Any planet in this pada will receive a lot of energy. The areas ruled by this planet will be very active. Saturn, which is naturally slow, finds this pada particularly challenging. A person with Saturn here will find it very difficult to cope with various delays.
