Nakshatra
Krittika (कृत्तिका)
Ruling planet Sun · Deity Agni · Symbol Razor
Personality & Traits
Natives born under Krittika (कृत्तिका) carry the energetic signature of sharp, purifying, courageous. Ruled by Sun and presided over by Agni, they tend to embody the symbolism of the razor — translating that archetype into daily life through choices, relationships and inner motivation.
Career Guidance
Krittika natives often thrive when their work aligns with Sun's natural domain. Roles that channel the qualities of sharp, purifying, courageous — whether creative, analytical, leadership or service oriented — bring fulfilment. A Vedic chart analysis can pinpoint exactly which sectors strengthen your career yoga.
Compatibility
For marriage compatibility (Kundli Milan), Krittika pairs well with nakshatras that share complementary planetary rulerships and Nadi groups. Always confirm with a full chart match before finalising any alliance — a single nakshatra is never the whole story.
Remedies & Practice
To harmonise the energies of Krittika, devotion to Agni, regular mantra practice, and respecting the ritual hours of the ruling planet Sun are recommended. Specific remedies depend on the placement of your Moon and the strength of Sun in your chart — verified by a Vedic astrologer.
