Why does Krittika Nakshatra feel like a trial by fire?

I’ve been watching the Sun and Mercury hover here in Taurus lately. It’s intense. Krittika is Agni, the fire of purification. It doesn't ask for your permission to burn away the dead wood in your career; it just clears the path.

Most people fear this energy. They think it's destructive, but that’s a mistake. It’s actually about precision.

Look at how Sun is sitting there right now. It’s lighting up the ego. If you’re trying to build something lasting, you have to be willing to cut what isn't working. I learned this the hard way during my own cycle years ago. I spent months holding onto a failing project, only to realize I was just delaying the inevitable. Krittika taught me that real leadership isn't about being liked, it's about being sharp enough to see the finish line through the smoke.

It’s a warrior energy, ruled by the Sun. You don't get the gold without the furnace.

But be careful. Because it’s so focused on success, it’s easy to burn people out around you. I’ve had to pull back and remind myself that I’m leading teams, not just directing heat. If you're feeling that friction, maybe track the movement of your own chart on Vyom to see where this intensity is hitting your house.

It’s not for the weak. But if you’re trying to make a name for yourself, this is the fuel you actually need. Don't fear the fire. Just make sure you’re the one holding the torch.
