Krittika nakshatra
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. 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. |
