In my previous post we predicted you future spouse based on your Darakaraka planet aka “DK” planet. Your DK planet is the lowest degree planet in your Vedic Sidereal birth chart. 

We talked about their characteristics in that post but lets see what their physical traits might be 👀

*Quick disclaimer: this is what your spouse could look like based on your Darakaraka planet in a general sense, of course the entire chart has to be considered in order to make a definitive judgment*

If your DK planet is the….

SUN 

With Sun Darakaraka, your spouse can have squarish/angular features, a strong jawline, broad face shape, and overall have a masculine appearance. Their shoulders/chest can be broad or large. Their hair can be thin with a golden/brown color. Their complexion (undertones) can be warm/reddish/golden. They can have a strong, healthy body and be on the taller side. (6ft+)

MOON 

With Moon Darakaraka, your spouse can have a round face, eyes or nose. They can have a fleshy body with fuller curves/chest and have a youthful appearance. They may be medium to tall in height. Their complexion can be fair, pale, or luminescent, with cool/neutral undertones. Your person can have hair that is thick, dark or even curly or wavy. Moon can give a soft/feminine look to the appearance (even for a male spouse). More often than not, this gives a spouse who is attractive/beautiful.

MERCURY 

With Mercury Darakaraka, your spouse can have a petite, dainty, or slender frame. They can be tall or short, but usually manifests as medium height. They can look quite youthful and look younger than their actual age. They might look androgynous or have a style that is both feminine and masculine. Your person can have natural facial symmetry and have a “polished” or “neat” look overall. Their complexion can be neutral with yellowish undertones. 

VENUS

With Venus Darakaraka, your spouse can have an overall pleasant appearance. Perhaps they have facial symmetry, full lips, or big wide set eyes. They can be tall in height and have a curvy or well proportioned body. Your person’s hair can be dark/black and it can be curly or thick. Their skin can be smooth/clear and they can have a complexion that is warm/tan/neutral. Sometimes it can give a reddish undertone.

MARS

With Mars Darakaraka, your spouse can have an angular, or masculine appearance. Their body type can be lean, muscular, strong, or athletic. Their complexion can have a reddish undertone and their hair can too. Their hair can also be blonde/light colored. Your person can be short in height or have a stocky build (not always). They can have sharp facial features, like a strong jawline or have a head that is prominent. 

JUPITER  With Jupiter Darakaraka, your spouse can have a large, well-proportioned frame. Height and size is emphasized here, where your person is taller or larger than average. Their body type can be fleshy, or their mid-section/chest can have extra padding. Their butt/thighs can be pronounced also. Your person’s complexion can have a fair/warm/orange/reddish undertone. Jupiter can “soften” their appearance as well, where it’s not so angular. 

SATURN

I also noticed Krittika is very popular among famous politicians and presidents all around the world, but I can't understand, why this nakshatra loves politics so much? Like what makes it is so charming for them? This nakshatra is also a very popular among self made billionaires 🤔

Would love to hear your opinion 🌸

I have certainly noticed that too and I think it is because Krittika is located in sidereal Taurus (3/4 of its padas). I remember a submission telling me about the Shukra Niti and it really clarified to me why so many sidereal Taurus and Libra natives are in politics.

​in western astro, it's all about exact mathematical degrees. but in jyotish, it’s called drishti, which literally translates to "sight" or "glance."

​in vedic astrology, planets literally have eyes. they sit in one house, but they stare at other houses across your chart. an empty house in your chart might look totally chill, but if a heavy planet is staring at it from across the room, u are going to feel its energy there.

​every single planet looks directly across the street at the 7th house from wherever it sits. but the outer planets mars, jupiter, and saturn are so heavy that they get "special" extra glances.

​🔥 mars (aspects the 4th, 7th, and 8th houses from itself): mars has an aggressive, protective stare. wherever mars is looking, u will experience friction, competition, and a massive drive to defend that area of your life.

​● jupiter (aspects the 5th, 7th, and 9th houses from itself): the ultimate blessing. jupiter's glance is literally made of pure grace. whatever house jupiter looks at gets protected and expanded. if u have a totally trashed or weak house, but jupiter happens to be staring at it, it gets saved.

​● saturn (aspects the 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses from itself): the strict teacher glare. saturn’s stare is actually way harder to deal with than the house it’s currently sitting in. wherever saturn is looking, u will experience delays, heavy responsibilities, and u will have to work 10x harder to get results there.

Or simply what I find annoying in Vedic tumblr

Part I

Okay it’s been a moment since I’ve posted since I’m not as active and I’ve also been bugged by a few things on Vedic tumblr especially since April and one of them is all the inventions and misconceptions that people spread about nakshatras mostly but also about Karakas and some placements.

The worst is that most of the time Vedic blogs are almost all like this that even if I indicate that I’m not interested in a blog I still see them and wonder if I should start blocking 💀 while the list of blogs I follow is so short like a dozen at most, I wish it was the opposite lol.

Also if you have good blogs to share, please do ! 💖

Me (and probably Vedic itself lol) whenever I see one of those posts and worse when they gather hundreds of hearts like omg.

Okay I’m ready to start with what I find annoying on Vedic tumblr.

“Jupiter is destructive and restrictive planet and Saturn is abundant and generous”

I’ve seen it a few times and whoever invented this doesn’t know how to read a chart or used placidus/tropical with Vedic interpretation while there’s actually a shift between the two systems of at least one house 💀

And that’s for any shifted misinterpretation. I think the person who came to this about Jupiter and Saturn did it with charts where they are close to each other but I’ve seen it with other planet like Sun and Venus or Venus and Mercury or even Jupiter and Mars which significations got reversed while the author probably had the wrong setting to read a chart with Vedic knowledge. And even in topical I believe that the planets qualities are quite similar so I really don’t get it.

 “Vishakha is regal or king nakshatra because lion yoni”

Can you people please stop changing the stories behind each nakshatra ? Or take it fully and not just what fits your narrative ? The person posting that only took Indra as kings of the gods but not the fact that Vishakha is actually associated to two gods which changed the whole thing about this nakshatra. And now I’m seeing it about most Vishakha post a bit like the post about Ashleshas.

So nope, Vishakha isn’t royalty. Magha is royalty, ruled by Ketu but happening in Leo and symbolised by a royal throne. Not Vishakha and being ruled by Jupiter doesn’t make it royalty (Jupiter is king in Western not Vedic) especially as Vishakha is actually ruled by two gods : Indra and Agni, king of gods and god of fire. The dual nature of this nakshatra forbids it from being a king as a king needs to be consistent which Vishakha isn’t because of its dual nature. Vishakha is powerful yes, but not regal. Yes the yoni is a lion but here it symbolises ambition and not royal authority. Royalty is their ambition, what they fancy themselves as, like their want to be number one in their field or the main person which can lead some to be really shrewd and cunning. It is part of their ambition and what they gravitate around but they never held the royal authority which we can see in many Vishakha people or even Cleopatra who was interpreted by a few Vishakha people : she herself never truly ruled but had the ambition to be a powerful queen and used any stratagems to achieve her goal without ever being able to be the regal authority. And in the end she was symbolically burned by the own fire of her ambition which happens to many Vishakha when they want more than what was destinée for them. Or for those fancying western association, it’s like Icarus being burner but the Sun in its ambition.

Planets have more influence/strength than nakshatras alone. The true and only regal one is Magha because of the Sun which is stronger than Jupiter.

In Vedic the Sun is the King as all the other planets gravitate around it, it’s the regal authority and symbolised by a lion, no association to cat that can fancy themselves as Lion (which is part of Vishakha). And Ketu brings the detachment that befits royalty as they are distant from the rest of the population.

I could literally make a whole post about these two with example for each and also how they relate and differ from each other with examples.

Anyway that’s basic Vedic knowledge for god’s sake, people don’t even bother to learn about nakshatra they just take a thing about it and embroider a story/strereotype around as if there wasn’t enough cliches in the Vedic community 💀

And I can do that with so many nakshatra, I think I’ve seen almost everything and anything but not the real meaning or story behind them or at least barely acknowledged for the recent posts of the last few months.

“Associating Krittika to any Sun nakshatra representation because of Claire Nakti’s videos”

If Claire didn’t associate Krittika to Uttara Phalguni or Uttara Ashada, it’s because they are different despite sharing the same rulers and that she didn’t focus on their common traits.

And no Krittika isn’t going to be your MPDG because Uttara Phalguni was described as one by Claire, Krittika is litteraly one of the most fiery and harshest nakshatra and one that is away from the popular stuff like MPDG or any TikTok core you people fancy. And no it’s not gonna be a cheerleader especially not in a Megan Fox/Ashlesha way where the focus isn’t cheerleading either for those referencing “Jennifer’s body”.

And if you ever find a Krittika cheerleader, it will mostly only be in the US and because their school didn’t have a gymnastics team. And please, the exemple of famous athletes like gymnasts ;on’t prove that Krittika can be a cheerleader but that their fire makes them competitive which they can channel in sports successfully.

“Etymology and symbolic of X nakshatra”

I’ve seen several blogs posting about having a REVELATION about a nakshatra and their symbolic and etymology.

What I read: 0 symbolic, 0 research and 0 etymology.

I think some don’t even know what etymology means as they just take the meaning of a nakshatra and translate it in several languages. Like of course, you’re gonna find the same meaning in different languages because that’s TRANSLATION !!!!

Can’t you see that translation in languages that are from far away places with little or no common history don’t even share the same root ? How can it be etymology ?

And where is that NEW symbolism ? Sometimes those people even get the signification of the nakshatras wrong and lose the main core of it, why ?

I’ve seen it with Bharani, Mrigashira, Ashlesha, Uttara Ashada, Shravana, Ardra and more.. the worst I think is when people don’t even do translation but do homophony. For those who don’t know what it is, homophonic words are completely different words with similar sounds and the worst here is that they do it with nakshatra which is Vedic Sanskrit and associate it to western languages and words with unrelated meanings and then call it etymology or the new revelation they had about Vedic 🥲

 “X nakshatra is toxic because my ex/friend/boss was toxic”

Most of those people don’t even get the charts of the people they think are a nakshatra right. They don’t even get the signification or impact of the nakshatra right depending on its placement, pada and planet.. I’m not even sure they’re aware of them.

Besides, to explain a behaviour pattern that goes beyond simple traits, you need at least 3 placements or indicators of it if not more if certains placements contradict it.

I’m also pretty sure this is the reason why Ashlesha is being dragged in the mud for any and everything lol alongside a few nakshatras.

Yes nakshatras have bad traits too but if you want to post about it, at least find something true about it, make some research I don’t know but it’s getting tiring. Also pretty sure some are surfing on the Ashlesha hatred to gather hearts, follower and popularity in the community.

I think the only account who makes a good job at complaining and finding flaws and faults about nakshatras is dhumavati as she does research and also makes interesting posts about the problems in our society and the linked nakshatras.

“Mixing western and Vedic astrology”

Why do you do that ? 🥲

Okay some things from western are interesting like asteroids.

However western and Vedic work differently and some people are reading charts on Placidus and then ask why what they see on the chart doesn’t match reality. Some are even doing paid reading and asking help because they don’t understand why the client doesn’t relate lol. Of course they won’t relate if the signs and/or houses have a whole sign shift or house shift, it changes everything from placements and interpretations to dashas and predictions. I can’t believe some of them are doing paid readings ..

I’ve also seen a post including Pluto, Neptune and Uranus as Karakas lol though not Rahu which can actually be a karaka for those who use the 8-Karakas jaimini system instead of 7.

But Pluto ? Neptune ? Uranus ? As Karakas ? Seriously ?

Even the interpretations of the other planets were completely off and seemed to have been written by ChatGPT, which leads me to my other point..

“Posts written by AI”

We have such a huge invasion of those polluting the Vedic tumblr and probably the overall astroblr.

What do they have in common ?

The same kind of phrasing, lot of emojis everywhere probably because ChatGPT thinks Vedicblr is so whimsy and need tons of those lol ? They litteraly put at least 3-4 per sentence or one at each line.

Also the same kind of bullet point list, empty almost spaced out phrases, the same kind of “it’s not this but this..” or tons of small little sentences that don’t say much but follow the same pattern as LinkedIn posts.

Little example :

🌙🪷✨🐍☀️

if your soul feels heavy today…

it is because Saturn isn’t testing you.

It’s because Saturn is remembering you. 🪐📿

You can do that with anything lol and say things that doesn’t make any sense.

And I’m sure this also why some post have completely off interpretations or Pluto, Neptune, Uranus as Karakas, soon asteroids will be Karakas too.

“Reducing nakshatra and Vedic to beauty”

The posts with pictures of celebs and nakshatra and then calling them a kind of beauty or TikTok core an animal beauty which most probably comes from Claire Nakti and her aesthetic series or Korean trends or TikTok trends or both. There’s some truth in that, yes it can indicate the apparence but reducing Vedic to only beauty is getting kinda tiring as everyone is only doing that and that comes from someone who love beauty in all its forms and can even see it in the most unconventional thing. But unlike Claire’s content, they bring zero knowledge and do zero research just a collage of faces and a nakshatra stamp and some celebs nakshatra are even false for some. Besides appearance isn’t determined by the big tree or every nakshatra in a chart, it’s mostly the lagna and first house and any planets in it, the lagnesh and its placement (house, sign and nakshatra). And sometimes a planet or a sign if it has a very strong influence in a persons chart or things like stellium that can have an impact. (On the opposite you can determine someone’s rising and or lagnesh placement by their appearance but it takes some practice).

I think the worst are those who seek to determine who are beautiful and who aren’t through their nakshatra when a nakshatra along won’t determine someone’s appearance and beauty. Beauty indicators depends on other placements too as they are tied to the level of attractiveness they can create in one person and this is why some people that aren’t conventionally pretty/handsome can be seen as very charming and attractive and some that can be conventionally beautiful/handsome aren’t very attractive to people.

Sometimes I wonder about making post about this with a bit more research and also a bit more diversity because celebs are a small percentage of the population, and like I said in another post, they have beauty interventions and surgeries or a beauty regimen that the average person won’t necessarily have access to.

I think I’m gonna stop here for now or I’ll never stop.

I’ll just keep posting randomly and for those asking me yes, I will make the post on the 5th Lord in different signs and houses. Signs and houses will be on the same post and will be my next post :)

On my periods,

This was a nightmare. It starts as excitement that there are so many different ways to classify the nakshatras, then it sort of turns into a bit of overwhelm. The big thing I'm missing is the deities, which I plan to add on later. I will have to do separate notes on all the deities/gods to make sure I'm getting the appearances right.

I will probably leave certain things out like the gender categorical system, birds, trees, gemstones. I probably didn't need to bother making a chart for the directions/movements. Might also expand on existing notesheets if needed.

I'm going to pull my hair out if I come to realize later that I messed some things up.

Edit: The Varna chart is currently messed up. It will take me a bit before I can fix it

Alltogether:

Krittika natives are often very critical of themselves in general. Even when people are in awe of them they will only think of ways they could have been better.

Some notes about the DK planet in your chart, aka the planet that represents your spouse in your birth chart

Click here if you don’t know your DK planet yet.

♡ People with Moon DK get into many relationships in their lifetime, and with every single person they partner with they say “this is the one” or “this is my soulmate” they tend to attach quickly once they meet someone, assume that’s their soulmate , then break up shortly after.

♡ People with Moon DK usually run it back with people from the past. Often reconciliation happens here.

♡ Women with Moon DK will swear someone is their soulmate and you cannot convince them otherwise.

♡ People with Moon DK often attract a partner who has Mrigashira nakshatra prominent in their charts. This is bc Mrigashira’s deity is the Moon.

♡ If you have Mars DK, not only do you attract Martians but you attract Ketu dominant people as well. Ketu energy is very similar to Mars so your future spouse will have Ketu naks or Ketu dominance in general.

♡ Men with Mars DK like women who are independent and feisty. They tend to be soft bois who like a woman who is slightly masculine in nature.

This meme is literally Men with Mars DK and their spouses:

♡ I’ve seen women with Jupiter DK almost always get a husband that has desirable qualities. Husband is supportive, stable, generous, a good father etc this is the best DK planet a woman can have in my opinion.

♡ Women with Sun DK treat their spouse as their “king” or have a fantasy of being rescued by Prince Charming.

♡ Women with Sun DK can be “pick me’s” too.

♡ People who have Sun DK will attract a spouse who is selfish.

♡ When your DK planet is the Sun or Moon your spouse is quite similar to you since those are your luminary’s. It feels like a mirror between you too.

♡ Mercury DK people have “shiny object syndrome” in relationships. They find someone they like, then they meet someone they like more , then another person, then another, they can have many options in love and have an insatiable need to choose them all.

♡ Men with Mercury DK are “fboyish” bc of this.

♡ People with Mercury DK in general tend to be a bit promiscuous or they attract promiscuous people.

♡ I’ve also seen out of all the DK planets, people with Mercury DK will manifest their spouse through scripting.

♡ For some reason Moon DK almost always gets into a partnership that is interracial.

♡ Women with Venus DK get a spouse that is tall and manly looking. Usually hairy too.

♡ Women with Saturn DK also get a spouse who has traits that are considered desirable by society. They get a husband who is mature, reliable and dependable.

♡ The downside with Saturn DK though is that it gives a spouse who is cheap with money, and tend to have a grumpy attitude.

♡ If your DK planet is in the 8th house, then you benefit financially from your spouse in a major way.

DK planet through the houses

Your spouses physical appearance based on DK planet

In Vedic astrology, the 9th Lord (Dharmesh) helps to understand the father's life, his impact on your destiny, and the spiritual debts or blessings you inherited from him. While the 9th house itself also represents the relationship, the placement of its ruler (the 9th Lord) in different houses can reveals the specific direction and quality of your father's life and influence on you.

9th Lord in 1st House: Your father is a cornerstone of your identity. You may physically resemble him or adopt some of his specific morals code. He is often a self-made person who commands respect. In a female chart, this can also indicate a father who is very protective and influential. If the lord is weak, you may struggle to form your own identity outside of his shadow, or he may face health issue or financial hardships.

9th Lord in 2nd House: Your father is the primary source of your early education, communication styles, and family values. He is typically a wealthy or influential father. This is called a "Dhana Yoga," suggesting you will inherit property or financial assets from him. If afflicted it can lead to legal battles over your family assets or burning through the father's hard-earned wealth.

9th Lord in 3rd House: Your father acts as a motivator who tend to encourages self-effort. He may be a writer, teacher, or public speaker. He is often a common man who values hard work more than inherited luck. If afflicted it may indicate that his early life was difficult, or he may have faced property losses as well.

9th Lord in 4th House: Your father is deeply tied to your home life and emotional security. He may also provide a luxurious home or landed property. The lord in this house also indicates that the father may travels frequently for work or lives far from his own birthplace. If afflicted it may suggest disharmony between your parents during your childhood, likely leading to their separation.

9th lord in 5th House: This house placement is a "Trikona in Trikona" placement, which shows a deeply spiritual and virtuous father who acts as your first spiritual teacher. He is likely famous, highly educated, or holds a prestigious position in society. If afflicted it may indicate health issues for the father or a loss of ancestral property due to some speculative risks he may take.

9th lord in 6th House: Your relationship with your father may be marked by conflict or debts (could be karmic or financial). He may be involved in the legal or medical fields. He might also be a tireless worker who gains success only through immense struggle. If afflicted it may indicates that the father suffers from a chronic or incurable illness.

9th lord in 7th House: Your father may spend significant time abroad for business or settle in a foreign land. He often comes from a wealthy background and brings luck into your life after your marriage. If afflicted it could mean that the father dies in a foreign land or is chronically away from home, causing a sense of distance.

9th lord in 8th House: This is a highly karmic placement. (Does not mean it’s negative) You may have a secretive or detached relationship with him. He might undergo sudden transformations like sudden wealth or sudden loss. If afflicted it often indicates the early death of your father or that the native must bear your father's heavy financial debts.

In the 9th House (Own House): This is the most auspicious placement. Your father is long-lived, prosperous, and a model of righteousness (Dharma). He is a pillar of society, often wealthy, charitable, and highly respected. If slightly weak, he may be so focused on his own spiritual growth or business that he appears emotionally distant or neglectful.

9th lord in 10th House: Your father is an authority figure (might work in the government or so) who directly influences your career and public standing. He often occupies a powerful government or leadership role. He is likely famous, powerful, and law-abiding. This is a "Rajyoga" position. If afflicted it could lead to professional downfall or legal punishment for the father, which also affects your reputation.

9th lord in 11th House: Your father is like your friend and mentor who helps you fulfill your greatest ambitions. He is wealthy, well-connected, and has a strong social network. If afflicted it may indicates that the father may be involved in unethical gains or that his friends may lead him (and you) toward financial loss.

9th lord in 12th House: Your father may be deeply spiritual, an ascetic, or someone who lives a life of solitude or isolation. He may live in a foreign country or be involved in charitable/spiritual institutions. If afflicted it often points to the father passing away early or being completely absent, leaving the family in financial hardship.

Ketu in 1st -> You can look totally different in photos taken just months apart. You can know someone for months and they still forget your name or your entire presence. You are the type to let people choose your food, movie and plans bcoz you don't care.

Ketu in 2nd -> You are either a hoarder or a minimalist. When you get nervous or passionate, you lose your words, stutter, or use a lot of "like" and "um". Zero connection to rigid values in the family.

Ketu in 3rd -> If you have a sibling, you might live far apart, rarely speak, or just feel like total strangers OR they can be your adopted/step sibling. You are a great writer but can be a terrible verbal communicator. You can write a flawless email but stumble over your words in a live meeting. You may drop your phone constantly, have terrible handwriting, or struggle with fine motor skills because your hands can’t keep up with your brain.

Ketu in 4th -> You have to raise yourself. If you are moving home or making real changes in your life, you won't tell anyone until it's done. You're not that much into fancy home decor or anything. You'd rather sleep on a mattress on the floor. Vehicle issues due to poor maintenance. In some cases, these natives use their car/ bags/ home as a trash can.

Ketu in 5th -> You either don't want children at all, or you feel totally awkward interacting with them. Seriously be honest with me, you lose feelings the second a crush likes you back. The chase is fun, but the moment real romance or dating time happens, you get bored and emotionally detach. You are smart but terrible at standardized testing as your brain goes completely blank under academic pressure.

Ketu in 6th -> Food allergies and rare symptoms show up for you and mostly be diagnosed in your mid 20s or 30s. If someone picks fight with you, you stone-wall them, or treat them like a ghost. You love animals, either you are allergic to a pet animal or prefer strays and rescued pets.

Ketu in 7th -> You act as your partner's therapist, fix their life, and then they leave once they are healed. You can NOT date anyone for months/years and be totally fine being alone. In partnerships, people can take credit off of your work or the contract would end awkwardly. You either delay marriage until much later in life, or you marry someone completely out of the blue after knowing them for just a few weeks/months.

Ketu in 8th -> Sus of everyone. You are the one to survive freak accidents, close calls and such, walking away unharmed. You could be into true crime, bizarre documentaries, occult topics, etc. You can be so paranoid of what if bad things that happened to others happened to you.

Ketu in 9th -> You either grew up in a highly religious family or a cult like family values and walked away from it on your own. You are the type to drop out of college, change your major or work a job that has nothing to do with your degree. Relationship with your father can be absent or icy.

Ketu in 10th -> No matter how much you succeed in life, you may feel like a fraud or an imposter. You may even change your name or your appearance totally and don't want anyone to know your past. Your public reputation is totally distorted.

Ketu in 11th -> Be honest, every few months you will randomly block, unfollow, or completely cut ties with casual acquaintances or entire friend groups because you suddenly find them fake or exhausting. If you have older brothers or sisters, your relationship with them is likely icy, distant, or completely nonexistent. They can be adopted/stepsibling too in some cases. You live in two entirely different worlds and have nothing in common.

Ketu in 12th -> Night owls. This placement is what I call "cosmic loneliness" like you feel that you don't belong to this planet or born in wrong era. A hermit. You can have intense, hyper realistic or lucid dreams that makes you feel exhausting or lived another life overnight.
