Uranus in Ashwini Nakshatra

Ashwini is ruled by Ketu, symbolized by horse’s head, meaning "Born of a Horse" or "Horsewoman", and it can color the planet with themes like act before thinking, childlike, courageous, and entrepreneur. This page focuses on that combination, not a generic meaning of Uranus or Ashwini.
