There ae 27 Nakshatras and each of these nakshatras are connected to 12 signs and also they are distributed to 9 planets which means 9*3=27

The first star is Asvini which I will be discussing here today. The term Nakshatra means NA charati NA Ksharati ATH Nakshatrati which means they neither move or deviate nor they get destroyed and their greatness never dimishes over a period of time

ASVINI:

Hence the 4 padas of Aries or charan are placed in the Asvini star and these 4 padas are further divided into 4 padas in the Navamsa. 1st Pada of goes to Aries 2nd Pada goes to Taurus 3rd pada goes to Gemini and 4th Pada goes to Cancer.

The first Vimshottari lord which is Ketu is also connected to Ashvini.Each of these Nakshatras are connected to male and a female diety. Here the male diety is Asvini kumaras who are the sons of Surya(Sun) god and the femaoe diety is SHIDRA VYAPANI SHAKTHI.Hence these two male and female dieties have the power of healing or make the world free from diseases

Each of the nakshatra are divided into three gunas and these are Rajas,Tamas,Sattva and Ashwini is that of Rajasic nature where it represents destructive force for a new beginning.

The star Ashvini is of Laghu or Kshipra dispositon which means the star Ashvini is very cunning,and the quality of this star is to outsmart their opponents when a conflict arises in his or her life

Ashvini is a DEVA ghana which also means that such people are down to earth and always such people uphold Dharma and they belive in GOD

Each of the 27 nakshatras are connected to Trimurtis who are Bramha, Visnu and Maheshwara

As the star Asvini is connected to CREATION hence among the trimurtis it is also connected to BRAMHA

Ashivi is categorised as Vaishya among other castes and here Vashya means Merchant who is responsible for the sustaintability of the trade/Business

In Jyotish and in Hindus we have 7 rishis who are our projenators and they are considered as celestial fathers and all the 27 nakshatras are categorised in these Sapta rishis and here Ashvini comes under MARICHI rishi who is the controller of eyes as MARICHI is born from the eyes of Bramha
