KRTTIKA is of rakshasa or lower-class nature but with potencies of a mixed nature.  Krttika means "the axe."  It represents physical and creative force or the energy to achieve greatness.  It is ruled by Agni, the fire god, and it brings burning sensations to the body or mind.  The animal symbol is the sheep and the caste it rules are intellectuals.
 When this star is on the ascendant, it indicates a proud, dignified and honorable type of person, full of ambition for power, who is angry but truthful, with a strong appetite and a wavering mind but much skill and many posses-sions. 

               When the Moon is in the star of Krttika, the person is well-known and of brilliant appearance, eating heavily, being fond of other's mates, having strength of purpose but of unstable mind.

Krttika presides over white flowers, qualified brahmanas, those who possess knowledge of sacred hymns and mantras, sacrificial offerings, grammarians, miners, barbers, potters, holy men, and astrologers.
