#UttaraPhalguni #Nakshatra is a #constellation that reflects traits like creativity and strong analytical skills. People born under this constellation tend to be quite sociable and are often admired by others. They have a knack for forming good relationships and are committed to various social causes. However, they can come across as proud and distant, especially to those they don’t find useful.
Now, let’s delve into the fascinating story behind their nakshatra deity. According to Indian mythology, Daksha, who was the son of Brahma, once organized a grand yagna (a ritual) for all the gods but deliberately excluded Shiva, the husband of his youngest daughter, Sati. Despite not being invited, Sati insisted on attending the event and, to her dismay, she and Shiva were publicly humiliated. This deeply upset Sati, leading her to take her own life. In response, Shiva, in the form of Virbhadra, cursed Bhaga. This curse might be the reason why those born under Uttara Phalguni tend to exhibit aloofness and appear arrogant when they feel their purpose with someone has been fulfilled.

#Krittika #Nakshatra derived from the name #Kartikeya, has its roots in Hindu mythology. Kartikeya was the son of the deities #Shiva and #Parvati. Legend has it that in a contest against his brother #Ganesha, Kartikeya lost and decided to leave his parents’ home to live elsewhere. Krittika Nakshatra is associated with an #axe and is under the influence of the #Sun. People born under this nakshatra tend to inherit some of the characteristics of Lord Kartikeya.
One notable trait of individuals born in Krittika Nakshatra is their tendency to venture far from their place of #birth in pursuit of success and prosperity. Whether it’s education or any endeavor leading to long-term achievements, they often kick-start their journeys away from their hometowns. Interestingly, they have a strong affinity for activities like gardening, agriculture, or anything related to the nurturing and maintenance of trees. The symbol of the axe holds a dual meaning for them, symbolizing both agriculture and the act of cutting down, and it’s up to each Krittika-born individual to determine which aspect resonates more with them.
Despite their reputation for cutting ties, Krittika Nakshatra individuals are paradoxically quite emotional and yearn for strong connections with others.

Apparently the amd64 emulation used when building a #Docker image on arm64 hardware is only so good. When installing #Ruby with rvm it decides to install the arm64 version anyway.
$ uname -a
Linux 628f228dda6f 4.14.22 #1 SMP Thu Oct 27 08:01:25 UTC 2022 Build-38 x86_64 GNU/Linux
