Why does Krittika nakshatra always feel like such a burning sensation?

Why does Krittika nakshatra always feel like such a burning sensation? I’ve been sitting with this energy all morning as the Sun, Moon, and Mercury gather there, and honestly, it’s intense. Krittika is ruled by Agni, the fire god, and it doesn't mess around. It’s a cutting energy.

But here’s the thing—it’s not just about destruction. People treat it like it’s purely aggressive, but it’s actually about purification. You can’t forge gold without a furnace, right? I remember watching a blacksmith work years ago, and that’s Krittika. It’s that sharp, focused heat that burns away what isn’t serving your soul’s evolution.

With the Sun and Moon together here, we’re being asked to align our outer purpose with our inner emotional reality. It’s a rare moment of clarity. If you’re feeling a bit scorched lately, don’t fight the heat. Sometimes you need that friction to see clearly.

Because I’ve been tracking these shifts for a while, I usually check the Vyom app when the transits get this heavy just to see where these placements hit in my own chart. It keeps me grounded.

So, if you’re finding yourself more irritable or perhaps just unusually decisive, blame the fire. You’re being pruned. It’s uncomfortable, sure, but it’s how we prepare for the next stage of our karma. Take a breath. Let the fire burn what needs to go.
