Aśvinī (the Vedic goddess presiding over the first ''Nakṣatra'' (lunar mansion) in Vedic astrology, having a spread from 0°-0'-0" to 13°-20', corresponding to the head of Aries, including the stars β and γ Arietis; Aśvinī is ruled by Ketu, the descending lunar node. In electional astrology, Aśvinī is classified as a small constellation, meaning that it is believed to be advantageous to begin works of a precise or delicate nature while the moon is in Aśvinī. Aśvinī is ruled by the Aśvin-s, the heavenly twins who served as physicians to the gods. Personified, Aśvinī is considered to be the wife of the Aśvinī Kumara-s. Aśvinī is represented either by the head of a horse, or by honey and the bee hive) [Erick Tsiknopoulos]
