Krittika "the one who
cuts" 26.40 Aries to 10.00 Taurus
Symbol - a knife, or a razor
Deity - Agni, god of fire
Stars - The Pleiades, (The "Weeping
Sisters") Alceyone one of the six Pleiades, is the star of sorrow, success
and prominence. Algol is one of the most violent evil stars, which deals with
decapitation or symbolically loosing your head.
Mythology - Karttikeya, a powerful warrior, was born
in the Pleiades and nursed by the six sisters who were falsely accused of
infidelity.
Indications - The "star of fire" is sharp,
piercing and penetrating. People with this nakshatra have a cutting wit and can
be sarcastic and critical. They are proud, ambitious and determined. They are passionate
crusaders. As the nursemaids nurtured and protected Karttikeya, there is a
protective influence, and they seem to adopt and care for children not their
own. Their need to protect is where the warrior comes out. They are stubborn,
aggressive and can be very angry. This nakshatra rules war, battles, and
disputes. Since Agni is the ruling deity, these people have fast metabolisms
and good digestion, and are usually good cooks. They have frequent ups and
downs in life. Their passions can lead them to illicit sexual affairs, as the
Pleiades were falsely accused. They are bigger than life and can rise to a
place of fame and prominence.
