Krithika - 3 rd Star

Karthigai - Krithika [Aries 26-40' to Taurus 10-00']

Krittika nakshatra (Tauri or Alcyone) It extends from Mesa 26:40. The residuary 10: degree falls in Vrishabha. The Devata is Agni; Ruling planet is Sun.

Krittika is of rakshasa or lower-class nature but with potencies of a mixed nature. Krttika means "the axe." It represents physical and creative force or the energy to achieve greatness. It is ruled by Agni, the fire god, and it brings burning sensations to the body or mind. The animal symbol is the sheep and the caste it rules are intellectuals.
 

Krittika which in Sanskrit also means 'critical' endows Krittika Nakshatra with the characteristics of enquiry and ability to detect minute causes of imperfection. This penetrating ability to discern and detect are the leading Krittika Nakshatra characteristics. Any imperfection that stands in the way of success comes under the characteristic scanner of Krittika Nakshatra.

Guided by the planetary lord Mars and the guarding deity of Fire, Krittika Nakshatra is more prone to reflecting the dominating influence of 'Agni'. Cosmic location of Krittika Nakshatra also accounts for its innate characteristic of transcending the realm of physical energy.
Agni is the great purifier, the great consumer of and the 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 of the continuation of existence. It consumes everything. The fire of digestion in the human system and the external fire for cooking are only different manifestation of the same principle, which is Agni.
 

Agni is the symbol of brightness and brilliance, all weapons with firepower. And other things of the same category come within the range of Krittika group. The fire is considered as purifier; for it burns away all that is wicked, dark and dull, also all that is low and sinful and inauspicious in the world. The dross thus blazed away, only effulgence and light remain. Fire gives the earth its activity and dynamic and revives it after the spells of cold that periodically inflict comatose condition of the earth. It is easy enough to deduce from fire the causal effect of the Krittika group.

Mangal is the lord of that part of Krittika which is in Mesha Rasi and Mangal is like a mass of lightning in shining splendor. So, the Krittika in Mesa is devastatingly brilliant, the effulgence being closely associated with also an incendiary character. The Krittika of Vrishabha Rasi is brilliant but unlike the Krittika of Mesha, not incendiary. The Lord of Vrishabha Rasi is Shukra and Shukra stands for worship of beauty and for poetry and imagination. He is radiantly white like snow, the Kunda flower and the Utpal. He is also the encyclopedic expounder of all branches of learning. It follows that the Krittika of Vrishabha is brilliant but the brilliance does not burn, it is soft and sweet, and benign. The Krittika of Mesa Rasi is doubtless brilliant; it has plenty of heat, which burns. The Krittika of Vrishabha has on the contrary a softened radiance, a wave of brightness that does not hurt.

Those born when the Moon was in Krittika nakshatra are bereft of friends and family; endowed with son and they enjoy life and are very prosperous. They suffer from hunger and they are without strength and money; they undertake purposeless traveling but recollect the help rendered by others. They are very harsh, and do jobs forbidden. They are cruel and do good jobs and they also have defective face. They are bright, instant angry and run after other women. They are heavy eaters and fiery. They are stingy, intelligent, famous, successful, loved by partner, with property earned by them, white haired, afraid of wind and carry the symbols of til and fish.

When this star is on the ascendant, it indicates a proud, dignified and honorable type of person, full of ambition for power, who is angry but truthful, with a strong appetite and a wavering mind but much skill and many posses-sions.
 

Krttika presides over white flowers, qualified brahmanas, those who possess knowledge of sacred hymns and mantras, sacrificial offerings, grammarians, miners, barbers, potters, holy men, and astrologers.
