Radix Moon in Ashwini = "Horses" - impulsive & intuitive

(Kuja-Ketu-Ashvins)

Intuitive connection to horses.

"Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us." ~~ Virginia Woolf (Jacob's Room)

Physically vigorous (Kuja). Emotionally detached (Ketu).

The Ashwini native has a psychic twin, who is often but not always the marriage partner.

• The twin's social rank may not match the native's.
• There is often (not always) a significant gap of age or social station.
• Ashwini forms "eccentric core partnerships". Nevertheless the bond is profound.

The twinning is intuitive, and the Ashwini native can hear the twin clairaudiently.

• Charles Windsor and his twin Camilla P-B Windsor = unbalanced social rank, friends for life

• Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the lifelong-friends pair from two vastly different cultures; together they reached the summit of Mt. Everest and partnered on decades of projects

• Virginia Woolf and her beloved but culturally and sexually different husband, Leonard Woolf.

• Celine Dion and her much older, divorciado, devoted husband-manager Rene.

• Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her twin Maurice Tempelsman

• Rev. Jerry Falwell had a twin brother to whom he was extremely close throughout life.

Freedom

"I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in." ~~ Virginia Woolf

Needs space, is eccentric, a bit standoffish, yet physically quite extraordinary and may be capable of almost superhuman feats of endurance and speed.

Claims the privilege to live in one's own way, according to one's own needs, and does not brook interference.

Inventive, even genius, in a highly eccentric and personalized style. Not much engaged emotionally; likes to meet basic physical need for nurturing then off to the next idea. Independent nature. Ideas often take precedence over emotion.

• Deep emotional need to be independent and free-ranging.

Spiritual director of this section of the path:

• the twin Ashvini Kumaras

Trauma profile:

Childhood security was endangered by a distracted mother/caretaker.

Often the mother had important public duties or perhaps was ill, making her physically or emotionally unavailable to the child.

Ashlesha learned to get caretaker attention by clinging. Subtle, hypnotic, movements allowed the child to wriggle into the arms of the caretaker without resistance.

They learned to be sneaky and controlling in getting love. The reptile brain signals, "manipulation and clinging is the only way I can get what I need."

Navamsha Moon in Ashwini (intimate relationships).

In order to mirror one's own subconscious emotional patterns, one attracts a core partner who expresses Ashwini behavior.
