Ashwini Kumaras

The first nakshatra of the Vedic zodiac, Ashwini is associated with the Ashwini Kumaras, divine healers linked to speed and vitality. It represents the pioneering impulse to set something in motion, trusting the courage to begin before all the answers are in.

Trusting the initial impulse — that first, courageous step that's sometimes the hardest to take — is what this card calls for.

What beginning have I been putting off, waiting to feel "more ready" than I actually need to be?

I trust my courage to take the first step toward the new.
