Career and Nature
Ruled by Sun, Krittika natives often do well in government, administration, medicine and leadership roles. The deity Agni and the symbol of a razor or flame add their own flavour to the work style.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Krittika starts life in the Sun Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
Remedies

- Gemstone: Ruby (Manik) - only if Sun is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
