Why does the Sun and Moon meeting in Krittika feel like such a burning point?

Why does the Sun and Moon meeting in Krittika feel like such a burning point? I’ve been looking at the sky today, May 16th, and it’s hitting me hard. We have both luminaries sitting in Krittika Nakshatra right now. It’s fire. Pure, raw Agni.

Most people look for comfort in transit reports. They want to hear that things will be easy or that money is coming. But Krittika isn’t about ease. It’s about cutting away the dead wood. It’s the knife of purification.

I sat on my porch this morning watching the sunrise, thinking about how we always try to run from the uncomfortable parts of our own karma. We want the fruit without the fire of the cooking.

But here’s the thing—if you aren't willing to let the old version of yourself burn, how can the new one grow? It’s a bit counterintuitive, I know. We usually pray for peace. Sometimes, though, peace is the last thing we need.

I’ve been tracking these shifts for a long time using the Vyom app to see exactly how these degrees move against my own natal placements. It helps me stay grounded when things feel heated.

So, I’m curious. Are you all feeling this push to break something off or finish a project that’s been lingering for months?

Don’t just tell me it’s ‘hard.’ Tell me what you’re actually burning down this week. I’m really interested to hear if anyone else feels like the floor is being pulled out from under them, but in a way that actually needed to happen.
