What a Ashwini Moon-day is like
Ashwini is a deva nakshatra — in panchang terms an auspicious, light day, classically favoured for beginnings, travel, ceremonies, and anything you want to start on a harmonious note. Its temperament runs to speed, healing, beginnings, under the rulership of Ketu.
For the full picture of today's sky — tithi, yoga, karana and Rahu Kalam alongside the nakshatra — see today's panchang.
