Natives born in #Krittika #Nakshatra in #Astrology are skilled at the debate, overtaking conversation with logic and reason, intimidating people with intelligence, having a perfectionist outlook, judging others but also a tendency to “ #cut self”, inwardly judgmental, seeing the #truth in own behaviour, using #fire to #burn away bad parts and purify the self, can appear harsh, yet be supportive, may be prone to giving tough love, can appear tough or stern, but deep inside are warm, sensitive, caring and very protective by nature.

Krittika Nakshatra in Astrology is one of the Adhomukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras which have their mouths downwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to tanks, wells, temples, mining, digging, etc. can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: The #Razor
The symbol for Krittika Nakshatra is a knife or a razor. The razor is sharp, and it shines in the sunlight, so the razor indicates the effect of agni or fire. Razor is also used to shave the head and face. These two limbs are suggested by Krittika, which mainly indicates a face.

Deity: The #Agni
Agni reflects powers to consume, transform and convey. Just born, he was presented as a tender baby who needs loving attention. He sparks, smokes, and grows stronger than his parents.

Characteristics of Krittika Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Krittika Nakshatra is a goat. The #goat is a resilient animal.
When a land needs to be cleared of any type of bushes, weed and grass so that something can be built, the builders hire a farmer to bring in goat and sheep to clear out the ground, which is the fastest and the best way.
They quickly cut through the grass and make way for a clear ground.
This, in a way, is what fire would do to living earth; turn it into ash and dust.
Goats also have a habit of biting or nibbling in order to communicate.
A native with this Nakshatra would usually bite or nib during lovemaking or show some form of passion.
Goats also head butt during combat. When trying to retain their position or take someone else’s position in the herd, such behavior can translate into a person who will butt head with their co-workers, friends, and bosses because they constantly want to fight for their position in life.
The element of Krittika is fire, which can go two ways, the fire of purification and the fire of destruction.
When we do rituals, havans, we are trying to invoke certain Gods who can come and clean our sins and bad energy around the house.
The other fire is the fire that has no control; it can go from a small matchstick to burning an entire forest.
Both do the job of cleaning and cleansing, but one is invoked, and the other goes out of control.
In the Rig Veda, the Agni God has a big appetite for #Soma but was later cursed when he flirted with the wives of #Saptarishis.
This much of information shows that Krittika Nakshatra has a bit of a perverted attitude of lust provided by Soma.
These natives can also be innocent and not realize their sexual behavior.
This does not mean every single Krittika native would have this behavior, it has to be supported by malefics, 12th Lord and 8th Lord connection, which are the houses of secrecy.
Krittika can actually make someone a priest as ironic as this statement.
This foundation comes due to the mythology of Agni and how Agni peeked and saw wives of Saptarishis naked and lusted after them.
He was then cursed by the rishis to have an insatiable sex appetite and lust, which would get him into trouble.
Yes, it is a curse when someone is lusting or is forced to lust after every single thing.
Krittika natives are seekers of truth because they want to cut through everything and get to the point.
They make excellent political leaders, CEOs and executives in a company.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is a #knife, which can either cut through the truth, war, body, meat and vegetables in the kitchen, which is why they make great chefs.
In the kitchen, the two most essential things are fire and knife, which are represented by the Krittika Nakshatra.
When the #Dharma or #Artha Lord is in the Krittika Nakshatra, the native will be an excellent chef.
They also love to eat hot food and especially love putting extra ghee or butter in everything they eat.
Krittika natives usually love carrying a pocket knife or swiss knife.
On the Aries side of Krittika, it gives love for playing with fire, doing fire rituals, bonfires, and even studying elements of fire, which is electricity.
The Krittika Nakshatra has a strong theme of adoption.
He was the brother of Ganesha and was born from the semen of Shiva during love making with Paravati.
Kamadeva stole a single seed of sperm of Shiva to create a child, who would defeat the demon monster, Tarkasur.
The child was taken and adopted by the six sisters, known as the constellation of Pleiades.
This theme can always play out in Krittika natives; they are either adopted or raised by another family member while being far from their biological mother. They can even adopt children, foster children and animals.
11th Lord is the 6th from 6th house, which is the higher version of 6th house of pets.
When in the 6th house, one may even have to fight a custody battle for children.
Such people always have to fight a battle in their lives with a strong enemy, and they usually win.
Attributes of Krittika Nakshatra in Astrology
This is the birth star of Chandra. Many constellations gather at the tail end of the Krittika group. It extends from Mesha 26’40”. The residuary 10’00” degree falls in Taurus (Vrishabha).
Lord (Adhipati) is Mangal and Shukra. Agni is the great purifier, consumer, and giver of light, heat, and brightness. Agni causes the fire of life and the drive. It is also the spark of life. Without fire, creation would not exist.
Agni is at the base of creation and the continuation of existence. It consumes everything. The fire of digestion in the human system and the external fire for cooking are only different manifestations of the same principle: Agni.
Agni is the symbol of brightness and brilliance, all weapons with fire-power. Other things of the same category come within the Krittika group’s range. The fire is considered a purifier, for it burns away all that is wicked, dark and dull, low and sinful and inauspicious in the world.
The junk thus blazes away, and only effulgence and light remain. Fire gives the earth its activity and dynamism and revives it after the spells of cold that periodically inflict the earth’s comatose condition.
Description of Krittika Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native will have no ability to rectify (wrong course), will be strong, fickle-minded, will have various foodstuffs at his disposal, and be extremely brilliant. He will have many dwelling places and be very talkative.
According to Jataka Parijata: If, during a native’s birth, the Moon be in the star (Krittika), he will be energetic, Lord-like in status, not dull but with some valuable learning.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Krittika will be splendorous, intelligent, liberal, an avid eater, fond of women, sagacious, skilful, and honourable.
According to Brihat Samhita: Birth under the asterism, Krttika makes one a glutton, addicted to others’ wives, brilliant and famous.

We invoke your name, #Kshitigarbha. We aspire to learn your way of being present where there is darkness, #suffering, #oppression, and #despair, so we can bring light, #hope, #relief, and #liberation to those places. We are determined not to forget about or abandon those in #desperate situations. We will do our best to establish contact with those who cannot find a way out of their suffering, those whose cries for help, #justice, #equality, and #humanrights are not being heard. We know that #hell can be found in many places on Earth. We will do our best not to contribute to creating more hells on Earth, and we will help transform the hells that already exist. We will practice in order to realize the qualities of #perseverance and #stability, so that, like the Earth, we can always be supportive and faithful to those in need.
