About this pada

Pada 2 of Ashwini runs from Mesha 3°20′ to Mesha 6°40′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Mesha; its navamsa is Vrishabha, ruled by Venus. The nakshatra's lord is Ketu, so a birth in this pada begins with the Ketu mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'चे' (Che).

What tradition holds

Tradition holds that Ashwini has a quick, direct temperament: starting what is in front of you instead of putting it off. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: patience, reliability, good sense with money and resources, and a feel for beauty and the arts. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
