"The Ashwins desired, "May we be possessed of good hearing and not be deaf. "One who makes the appropriate offering to the Ashwins and to Ashwini becomes possessed of good hearing and will not become deaf.
Ashwini Nakshatra grants the power of hearing on both outer and inner levels. That is why this Nakshatra relates to secret knowledge and to miraculous powers."
~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra
Ashwini, for females:
"... she will possess a modest, clean, wholesome, and admirable character. She will have an inherent respect and admiration for older people, particularly her parents, but she will be independent of them, because of her ability to earn her own living and to make her own career.
She will have a very good figure and even white teeth. A capable and self-sufficient person.."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 91.
Chandra in Ashvini: singer Celine Dion, editor Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, author Virginia Woolf
Ashwini, for males:
"... a happy carefree disposition, very intelligent, in fact rather above average person in this respect. He will be quite successful and his financial status will be such that he will seldom have to worry about money matters.
In spite of his ability to achieve success, he will be modest concerning himself and his achievements."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 84.
General Description of Ashvini characteristics
General
Description of the Padaa (quarters) of Ashvini
Padaa 1
Gracious personality, enjoys good power & exchange ideas with learned people. Occupies a high position in a company or government service. Affected with excess bile complaints. If this extension also is the Lagna (ascendant) & Jupiter also is positioned here one lives up to 83 years. Even though you are a good executive, you are not generally liked by your associates & employees.
Padaa 2
Not a good position. Tall & clever. You are fond of eating spicy food & drink. You will have trouble through the opposite sex, unless remedial measures are observed, you cannot get out of poverty. You are selfish & ambitious.
Padaa 3
You will be much learned & expert in various sciences and religious scriptures. You are exceedingly active. You are a good friend to those whom you can impress.
Padaa 4
This position is the most outstanding position for Moon, provided Sun is not in conjunction. You attain a high education & knowledge in various branches of sciences with your own efforts. Mostly persons born in 12th degree to 13th degree of Asvini are officers or doctors or persons holding very high position in government.
Doctors born in this part of Ashvini Nakshatra become successful in the medical field. The same is the result when the Ascendant falls in 4th part of Ashvini even if the Moon is positioned elsewhere. Your distinguishing mark is that there will be a scar or mark on the head or face.
