Slow-moving planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu) take months or years to change signs; they set the broader "theme" or foundation for major life changes. Fast-moving planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) act as "triggers" that pinpoint the exact day or week those major changes will actually happen.

Ashwini is ruled by Ketu (the South Node of the Moon). However, since it falls entirely within the sign of Aries, it is also heavily influenced by Mars. This combination creates a personality that is both instinctive (Ketu) and active (Mars).
