Marriage and Compatibility
Ashwini belongs to the Deva gana and Adi nadi. In matching, a partner from the same nadi (Ardra, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni and Hasta and others) creates Nadi dosha unless an exception applies. Deva gana matches best with Deva and Manushya.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Ashwini starts life in the Ketu Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
