What is Krittika Nakshatra?
In the previous blogs, we have seen the meaning of Nakshatra and the first two Nakshatras, Ashwini Nakshatra and Bharani Nakshatra. In this blog, we will get to know more and more about Krittika Nakshatra.
About Krittika Nakshatra
Being the third Nakshatra in the lunar mansion, Krittika Nakshatra is considered to be bold and naive both at the same time because Krittika Nakshatra is filled with feminine energies of care, and courage both at the same time. We have already discussed that when the Moon is at a different angle every day, it creates a new location and new shape of the Moon and thus that creates a new lunar mansion every day. The cycle is repeated every 28 days and thus there are 28 Nakshatras and Krittika is the third Nakshatra amongst them.
In Sanskrit, the word Krittika means Kartika or a cluster of open stars or something that is shining, in a group, together with several others, and has the potential to make a collective group.
Nicknamed The Pleaids, Krittika Nakshatra is represented by the symbol of Knife as it looks razor sharp and therefore also denotes concentration and focus upon something.

Also, Krittika was the daughter of King Daksha with his wife Panchajani thereby becoming the half-sister to Khyati, the mother of Dhata, Vidhata, and Lakshmi. As per Indian mythology, Krittika was married to Chandra (Moon) and there are six Krittikas namely Siva, Sambhuti, Priti, Sannati, Anasuya, and Ksama. All these six Krittikas collectively helped in raising the firstborn to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Lord Kartikya, also known as Ayyappa or Skanda.
Mostly females with high energy, optimum boldness, and very noticeable characters are born in Krittika Nakshatra. The males born in Krittika Nakshatra also hold a huge part of feminine energy in them and thus they are the ones who are sensitive, understanding, and to some extent also progressive in nature.
