Krittika natives are sharp, honest and protective, with a cutting intelligence. Ruled by the Sun and the fire god, they burn away what is false and defend what is right.

In relationships Krittika natives are protective and direct, sometimes blunt. They are excellent at keeping standards high and guiding others.
