Mythological Story👇

➡Krittika Nakshatra is also associated with Kartikeya, the Son of Shiva and Parvati. Kartikeya slayed the demon Tarakasura who had the boon that only a six days old boy could slay him. When he was just six days old, Kartikeya had all the qualities to combat and eventually kill the demon Tarakasura. Thus, ‘Shashthi tithi’ is of prime importance and is associated with this Krittika Nakshatra.

Sanskrit Name: कृत्तिका (Krittika) comes from the Sanskrit word कृत्त (to cut). One meaning of Krittika is “the cutter,” indicating perceptivity, power, and a discerning nature.

Planetary Ruler: Sun. In astrology the sun is considered the king of the planets. According to the Vedic understanding, the sun is an expansion of God. This planet is associated with the soul or self, leadership, happiness, success, self-realization, and spiritual enlightenment.

Nakshatra Group: Monstrous. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Krittika is a monstrous nakshatra. People in this group are generally intuitive, strong-willed, and assertive. They may be prone to anger and violence.

Zodiac Sign: Aries (first quarter) and Taurus (second through fourth quarters). Arians are loyal, intelligent, confident, competitive, and make natural leaders. Taurus natives are light-hearted, reliable, generous, likeable, obedient, and fond of sensual pleasures.

Deity: Agni. The lord of fire, Agni, is considered to be the mouth of the gods. In Vedic tradition, offerings to the gods are often made through sacred fire. Agni is also associated with transformation and purification.

Symbol: Knife or flame. This represents Krittika’s ability to burn, cut, or otherwise sever ties with negativity. It also represents some degree of ferocity and can be dangerous if misused.

Power: To burn or consume in order to purify. Just as fire burns away impurities, so does Krittika. Negative elements are burned away in order to reach a deeper truth. Krittika bestows a discerning nature and also gives light, warmth, and nourishment.
