Krittika – Male:
As a boy, you will be exposed to a variety of experiences. You find yourself capable of devious action, yet you have a strong sense of responsibility. Your talent will be expressed in competitions and debates. You need independence and self determination, and thus are unsatisfied with being obligated to others. You will be renowned for your leadership skills. You will do well far away from your place of birth. You revel in enjoyment and entertainment but you hold true to your own standards of morality. You will have constant annoyances at regular intervals. Your married life proves steady and happy because you are capable of working around your limitations. Therefore, you have the capacity to enjoy your achievements. Since your rise in life will be comparatively slow, peace of mind will be lacking. You are generally lucky to have an understanding wife. It is up to strive to make life happier. As a father, you have to face a certain share of problems on account of children. Generally, your life will improve during the latter half. Dental problems can be avoided by better care.

Krittika – Female:

You may not have many brothers, or you may be separated from your brothers fairly early in life. You enjoy variety in life, whether it is in people, places, or foods. You have a nice figure. You are a helpful and generous person. Not surprisingly men enjoy your company. You have extraordinary intelligence and ability, but your interests tend to wander. You are a dabbler rather than a dedicated doer. Making money interests you more in an intellectual sense than in a practical sense. You tend to focus your attention on yourself, and therefore others may see you as self-centered. You face problems due to your bluntness. Trivial matters tend to irritate you. Exercise self control in your actions and concentrate on the tasks which confront you. It is only by perseverance that you will succeed in life.
