Moon in the signs
The first mansion, a horse's head: speed, first light, and the kind of healing that arrives before you have finished explaining what is wrong.
Its deity is the Ashwini Kumaras, the twin physicians of the gods, and its lord is Ketu. It sits at the very start of the sidereal zodiac, on the two faint stars at the head of Aries. Tradition gives it beginnings, medicine and haste, and warns that haste is also its failure mode.
