Nakshatra – Krittika

During the night, a cluster of six stars visible in the sky is known as the Pleiades or Krittika. As per Vedic astrology, Krittika resides in the sign of Taurus and Aries. It is considered as a source of power and energy as ‘Agni’ or ‘Fire’ is the ruling deity. The name Krittika when translated means ‘The Cutter’ and the symbol is resembled by ‘A Sharp Object’. Thus, it can be said that the star possesses both a creative and destructive nature.

People born under the Seven Sisters are aggressive with raging character. The Sun is the ruling planet, so that explains the flaming nature! But, it also signifies purification at the highest level. 

Krittika Nakshatra natives are always looking for new information and adventures to fuel their fire within. They need physical activities to keep their mind busy and energetic. Maruga or Kartikeya was raised by the cluster of six stars of Pleiades and is therefore associated with Krittika.

Career and Business Horoscope 2021 

Krittika Nakshatra 2021 predicts a great year for all the professionals. Despite some financial ups and downs, you will attain stability in your career. This is because Jupiter and Saturn will be chilling in your 10th House at the beginning of the year. This conjunction gives rise to Darmakarmadipatya Yoga, meaning action and duty are joining forces. The stars predict that you will also be working with international clients and travel to meet and greet. You better pull your socks as profit will be rolling in. 

Job transfer with promotion is also on the cards. Now if you have secured a higher position at your workplace, you may be able to delegate work to your juniors with ease, and they will do the work for you, faithfully.

Love and Relationship Horoscope 2021 

The animal symbol of Krittika Nakshatra is a female sheep, which is compatible with its male counterpart that is influencing Pushya Nakshatra. In addition to this, male and female buffaloes enshrined by Hasta and Swati Nakshatras are compatible with Krittika Nakshatra. Whereas Vishaka, Chitra, Dhanistha, and Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra are considered incompatible concerning Krittika Nakshatra. Jupiter and Saturn residing in your 4th House will start the year on a positive note and bring peace and progress at home. But Rahu is staying next to next door in your 2nd House, so it is advised to keep your anger under control and avoid using harsh and hasty words as it may hurt your family members. 

With Mars in the 1st House and Saturn in the 10th, the beginning of the year may be challenging and it may also test your love life. April to September and Mid-November love will be in the air for you and you’ll enjoy your personal life. Some may even tie the knot. During February and March when Venus will stride in your 11th House the tension of your married life will calm down. The year is full of blessings and it can also bless you with a baby. For those who already have children, they will be blessed to make good progress in their education.

Finance Horoscope 2021 

Finances are healthy, fit, and fine. But even after that, there can be some turbulence. Well, 2021 will be bringing some financial ups and downs for you. Rahu is staying in your 2nd House and plans on bringing many financial opportunities but not at some price. So, refrain from making any sort of risky financial investments. However, as Jupiter will make its way in your 11th House during the second half of the year you should see a significant improvement. This phase will strengthen your chances to buy a property or vehicle as Saturn will playhouse in your 4th house. However, don’t just drop your guard and throw cash like confetti as, towards the end of the year, some financial strains can be there. The health of your parents may suffer a little, which will invite expenses in the form of medical bills.

Health Horoscope 2021 

Health for the Krittika Nakshatra natives indicates some challenges in 2021. The native is likely to feel stressed out and over-exhausted due to the extra workload. This can cause certain health issues like hip problems and back pains from sitting for too long at your office desk.
