Love with a competitive streak

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.

Venus in Krittika

When Venus, the planet of love and affection is in Krittika, the person has a very strong maternal side. Venus symbolises love. Krittika is a very maternal section of the sky. I have seen nurses having Venus in Krittika.

The person in love affairs is going to be very competitive. The person may end up having ego issues. The person can be very impulsive if Krittika falls in the sign of Aries in particular. As far as creativity is concerned, the person can enter any profession linked to the use of fire, such as a jeweller, blacksmith or automobile designer.

As far as money is concerned, the person can work for the government in the money sector, such as the federal reserve of a country. Venus in Krittika is essentially a coming together of Venus and the Sun. The person can be a teacher of art, with Venus and Krittika both directly linked to the education sector.

In love affairs, the person is going to seek a partner who one can have intellectual conversations, philosophical conversations with. Venus is about pleasure seeking and this Nakshatra has the Guna of Rajasic. It's very likely the person has a very materialistic view of life. As I have been saying earlier, a Krittika native has the capability to rise above all of that.

That is my view of Venus in Krittika.
