Krittika nakshatra (Aries 26°40′ – Taurus 10°) is ruled by Sun, with Agni (god of fire) as its presiding deity and razor / flame (the pleiades) as its symbol. Krittika, the Pleiades, is ruled by the Sun and presided over by Agni. Sharp as a flame or razor, natives cut through illusion — direct, purifying and protective. They have a fierce appetite (the 'star of fire that cooks') and a perfectionist's eye, burning away what is impure in themselves and others.
