Krittika Nakshatra
Krittika falls in the sign of Aries and Taurus and as per mythology is ruled by Lord Agni and Lord Kartikeya. Let's start with Lord Agni. Lord Agni is the god of fire and as per mythology Lord Agni is the messenger between the realm of the humans and the realm of the gods. As per Indian mythology during rituals we offer food to fire thinking that this food is reaching the realm of the gods.
As per Hindu mythology the body after it has passed on is burnt. The idea is the body is now carried away from the realm of this world to a higher world. This process of transcending from this world to a higher world is directly linked to Lord Agni and therefore this Nakshatra. Lord Agni is the medium. Therefore spiritual awakening is directly linked to Krittika. A Krittika native has the capability to transcend to a higher plane. Lord Agni has the capability to burn away our delusions. Like whilst growing up we saw rainfall and we asked our parents what is the reason and they told us a story and we started believing that and as we grew older we got to know of the water cycle.
We burnt away that delusion and we attained true knowledge. That is the job of Lord Agni. It burns away our delusions. Therefore all educational institutes are directly linked to Krittika. All teachers, professors, trainers, motivators, coaches are directly linked to Krittika. Whilst growing up we all had difficult exams to take and we found ourselves burning the midnight oil. It's a beautiful example, a beautiful illustration. The burning of the candle, the burning of the oil in the metaphorical lamp is burning away our ignorance.
Moon in Krittika
Emotional construct
The first thing that comes to my mind is the maternal side of Krittika. The Moon is exalted in Krittika for that reason. The person would naturally be very caring and protective of people around oneself.
The person would however be very competitive. Wanting to win is strongly linked to Krittika. The person would also be well educated, spiritually minded but can be prone to extreme reactions at an emotional level. If someone has defeated you and you have Moon in Krittika, you react very aggressively like I'll get back to you and I'll win the next competition against you.
The person would make an excellent teacher of Moon-related activities, such as a mental health coach. The person would want to make a name for oneself and, in general, would be very intelligent and capable of occupying a position of leadership in society.
Thank you for your time.
