In Vedic astrology, the lordship of Krittika, Uttara Phalguni and Uttara Ashadha has been given to the Sun. Sun is the source of energy and represents life force. The dominance of these three Nakshatras over the Sun shows that the energy level in these Nakshatras is very high. High energy is required to complete any difficult task. When the resources are less and the goal is big then a lot of energy is required, because if the energy is less, then the person gets disappointed soon but if it is the never-ending energy of the Sun then the person never gets disappointed and moves ahead with self-confidence. Therefore, these three nakshatras represent high energy and abundant self-confidence.
These people are able to handle
difficult situations in life and where others think victory is impossible, they
emerge victorious. Their life gives them challenges because difficult tasks are
given only to those who have the courage to complete them. In fact, every difficult
task provides an opportunity to gather energy and achieve the goal. Sun is the
hero of the universe and the nakshatras of Sun provide a heroic personality to
the person and the deeds done by these heroes are remembered by the people for
centuries.
I have written in detail about all 27
Nakshatras in my book "The Light of Nakshatras". Following are some
excerpts from the book about the Nakshatras of Sun;
1. Krittika
Krittika’s energy is a very high
fiery energy. When the energy is high it can’t sit idle. These people never
hesitate to take initiative; they are adventurous and never afraid to take step
towards the unknown path. Due to their penetrating insight and ability to play
with sharp objects, they properly assess the depth of the risk and prepare
their planning accordingly.
As the symbol of knife indicates,
their logics are very sharp and with their penetrating eyes they can see the
hidden truth or hidden motive of a person. Their focus is always on a direction
and immediately cut all those things which have lost its direction. In a
meeting they cut the worthless discussions, they cut the relations; they leave
their work and place without hesitation. They are the first who speak in a
meeting and when no one dare to ask, they ask questions and as the fire is
visible from a long distance, they get attracted immediately. This energy is a
unique mix of sharpness and softness, they are very aggressive people but their
personality also has softness and they never use their aggression for wrong
deeds. The fiery energy of Krittika never does any harm to anyone unless it is
teased. This energy always works for protection.
They can catch a flying knife by
their hands but they keep its sharp edge always down and raise only when danger
arises. They are very sharp but on face always appear to be a soft and polite
person. They like calm and peace in their surroundings.
Krittika's natives are not afraid of
trials; being courageous they always take their step forward and want to see
the outcome from their eyes. They lack consistency and want to enrich their
experience, so, they leave their job, they leave their city and country too.
Years of relations they cut within seconds, they are not social person, they
are not diplomats.
They see various ups and downs in
their life and till the middle age their life is full with trials and
experiences. They are very rich in many experiences but lag behind socially.
They never look back; they are very optimistic and go ahead soon. The second
half of their life is completely a changed life. They have knowledge of various
arts and subjects; they learn from their trials, their experience is vast,
which many people do not have.
2. Uttara Phalguni
Uttara Phalguni means “The latter reddish one” and red is the color of Phalgun (Joy and Happiness). Red is the color of sweet and blue is salty. The word ‘latter reddish’ means these people will get the fruits of success after very hard work. There is “No rose without thorns”, this proverb fits perfectly on these people. They never get disheartened by difficulties and always believe in working hard in life. Their legs are always ready to complete the difficult task and they never show their back. They never run from the circumstances and never weep about the scarcity of resources. In any adverse situation, you find that these people never complain to anyone, they believe in doing their work and they find their own ways to complete the work. They are the perfect “Karma Yogi”.
Uttara Phalguni people are choosy in nature, they spend hours to select the best. They work on multiple options and chose the best which is suitable as per the circumstances. Without options, it is difficult for them to take a decision, either in the matter of clothes or work. Once they decided they remain firm on their decision. They have a collection of various unique things at their home and they like to collect those items which are rarely available. They can spot a diamond among pebbles and they rarely do any mistake in their selection.
3. Uttara Ashadha
The caste of the nakshatra is
‘Kshatriya’ (Warrior). Warrior never hesitates to sacrifice their lives on the
battlefield. It is their duty to obey orders and have only one goal - to win.
They know very well how to play with dangerous weapons and always keep them
under their control. Planets in Uttara Ashadha indicate that such a person has
all the qualities of a warrior; they fight very fiercely till they win and wait
for the right moment for each attack.
This nakshatra bestows the person with many qualities. The 10 Universal Gods indicates 10 major qualities of the person and their focus is always on achievement. With all the combined energy these people have the potential to achieve higher things in life. They are intelligent and truthful persons who work without any partiality. They are able to see all the pros and cons of a situation, they never get scared and never run away from reality. They are ambitious persons who hold senior administrative positions.
