Primary themes
Purification, determination, discernment
Krittika carries the symbolism of fire and cutting away what is unnecessary. It is associated with clarity, courage, purification and decisive action.
Its sharper qualities can support strong judgement but may also result in overly critical or forceful expression.
A Nakshatra is read together with its Pada, its lord, the sign and house it falls in and the running Dasha. Astrological interpretations are traditional guidance frameworks and should not replace professional medical, legal, financial or other specialist advice.
