There is a saying that even Yama, the God of Death ,cannot change his adamant attitude. Those born in the Ashwini of other months will have stubbornness in a lesser degree. 
 
He will remain faithful to those who love him and will not hesitate to sacrifice anything for such persons. Ashwini born is the best friend in need provided others understand him. He keeps his patience even at the time of greatest perils. But it will be a hurricane task to console the native when he goes berserk. He is the best advisor to the persons in agony. But he deeply resents and fears criticism, see suggestions from others, as a frightening attempt at manipulation. 
 
He takes his own time to do any work. Even so, his actions may be slow but well thought. He will not jump upon any matter without examining prose and corns of each item of work. He cannot be easily influenced. Once he carries out an action or work, whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, he will stick to what he has done, come what may. 
 
He is a firm believer of God. But there is no room for religious or other sentiments. He is orthodox but in new style i.e., he believes in modernization of orthodox method and belief. 
 
Even though he is quite intelligent, at times he makes mountain of even small matters. This leads him in a state of lack of mental peace and will always be in desperate mood. He is always interested in keeping the entire surroundings neat and clean.

Affection that was expected and the care that was required, cannot be derived from the father of the native. In other words, the natives as also his co-borns will be neglected by their father. Whatever help he may derive is only from the side of his maternal uncle. Maximum possible help will come from those who are outside the family circle.

It is not a negative point. She may do so, as her financial or other conditions would have improved by her 50th years of age, and she no longer requires any work for her livelihood. She will thereafter devote herself to the welfare of the family and to some extent do social work, provided other planetary positions are not adverse. Administrative type of job (including possibility of Indian Administrative Service for an Indian) is earmarked for her.

With their zeal for renovation and courage, they excel in careers involving heroic exploits.

Ashwini nakshatra Compatibility and Incompatibility
 
With each nakshatra being represented by an animal sign, it is generally held that animals inimical to one another contribute to the similar inimicality in nakshatra. Going by that logic, 'Hasttham' and 'Swathi' are incompatible to Ashwini nakshatra. On the other hand, natives born under Ashwini Nakshatra are most compatible to natives born under 'Shatabishak' nakshatra
