Dwelling partially in the sign of Aries (head of Kalapurusha, Spirit of Time), and partially Taurus (face of Kalapurusha), Krittika nakshatra inspires us to bring more light of truth and integrity into our lives – and to make the light of our inspiration shine through us and manifest into the world. It connects what is in our head and mind with our self-expression – thus blessing us with creative power, eloquence and communication skills. It helps us to translate our idea into the material world, connecting fire and earth, as well as heaven and earth, above and below. It also makes us more aware of the true desires of our soul. As Moon is exalted in Krittika nakshatra, when it is dwelling here, it confronts us with some truths about ourselves, so we can understand ourselves and our desires better – and so our self can become refined in the fire of self-knowledge.
