Lagna and Planets in Krittika Planets in Krittika can be fiery, destructive or constructive depending on the padas and the quality of the lagna lord and the Moon.

Lagna in Krittika will be dynamic, creative and yet practical. How the Krittika personality develops depends on the strength of the lagna lord, Mars or Venus, and the ruler of the nakshatra, the Sun. Any weakness or negative position to these can exaggerate the weaknesses of Agni and Krittika.

The Sun will have immense courage and confidence. Krittika has the capacity to create powerful people who are not afraid to confront difficult situations; it is important to remember that Krittika represents the ability to challenge difficulties and oppositions. It is warm, fierce and supportive. These people use their power wisely.

People with the Moon in Krittika can become healers or warriors as they are not afraid to confront their demons or to fight causes. They can remove any negativity through right thinking. Krittika brings healing through the intense purification of the fire. The control of the mind is strong here because the Moon is exalted in Krittika, yet these people must watch their destructive tendencies. The first dasha of the Sun makes the Krittika Moon come face to face with their strengths and weaknesses from a young age. It gives them a sense of identity and purpose. This can help in later years.

Mars in Krittika people are calm, dedicated, and extremely intelligent. They are natural warriors. Their instinct is to defend, but they stay calm in a crisis. They can anger easily and need to watch this carefully. They do not necessarily like confrontations but if they are faced into a difficult position, they will not shy away from it.

Venus can have many admirers. There is a showbiz type persona. They can have two sides to their personality, an outgoing one and a puritan type. You will find both priests and entertainers among the Krittika.

Mercury people attract attention, not just for their striking looks but also for their intelligence and brightness. Saturn people know that the fire that burns within them can be destructive if allowed to rage uncontrolled, so they learn early on how to harness this fire. They can be attracted to yoga and other disciplines.

Rahu can disturb the fire of Krittika and allow it to overpower them through desires and sensuality. Taurus Krittika is easier for them to handle whereas Aries can bring a sudden spurt of energy which can consume them.

Ketu feels troubled by all the fire of Krittika; it will create huge issues that need to be addressed, but the headless Ketu does not always understand how to. These people need to work with their intuition and channel this power into positive, more spiritual areas, or use it to burn away the residual karma. The problem happens when not all karma is ready to be destroyed; only what is matured. Ketu may not know how to discriminate as it is debilitated in the Taurus part of Krittika.
