Or it may be placed as the Lord of one of these in some other houses. 66 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,360 It doesn't matter where the moon is placed, but the moon's nakshatra is vital to consider 67 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,600 when you talk about instinct, especially emotional instinct and reactivity of a person. 68 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,600 Okay. 69 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,600 Now let's get into nakshatras. 70 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:03,600 Let us examine the core instinctive characteristics and totems of krittika nakshatra. 71 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:11,200 The third nakshatra, which falls in the sign of Aries, the first padha, going next three 72 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,240 padhas into Taurus. 73 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,840 Here we'll dominantly examine the Torian side. 74 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:18,840 It's ruled by Agnesis. 75 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:21,840 There's a lot of fire in krittika. 76 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,840 A lot of transformation in krittika. 77 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:25,840 Okay. 78 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,720 Let's start with the instinct of the animal and the bird representation of krittika. 79 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:42,520 Krittika nakshatra is represented by peacock as the bird and goat as the animal. 80 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:50,440 So let's start with the instinct, the top two boxes you see here. 81 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,800 So peacock, what is instinctive nature of a peacock? 82 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,440 In it, beauty display. 83 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,760 Male peacocks have an instinctive drive to display their vibrant striking plumage during 84 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,800 courtship to attract the beehens. 85 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,520 Territorial instinct peacocks may exhibit territorial behavior to establish and defend 86 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,800 their mating territories. 87 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,880 In these shifting energies, we need to understand the instinct level from where we are operating 88 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:30,360 as humans in order to make the shift in a graceful, nice way. 89 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:37,320 Social behavior peacocks are social birds often found in small flocks or groups, especially 90 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,960 during non-reading seasons. 91 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,440 Biting in courtship instincts, especially if the lord of your eight is sitting in krittika, 92 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,280 this will be a dominant characteristics. 93 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:57,960 Both male and female peacowls exhibit instinctual mating and courtship behaviors with male displaying 94 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:04,560 their tail feathers, which is a well-known thing about peacocks, the bright feathers, 95 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:11,360 and females selecting the males based on these displays is typical behavior in animal and 96 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,920 bird kingdom, isn't it? 97 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,120 Vocalization and calls. 98 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,840 Peacocks have a range of vocalization, including their iconic calls, which are part of their 99 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,840 instinctual communication and courtship behavior. 100 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,640 What about goats on the other side, the animal? 101 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,880 Herbivorous diet. 102 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:40,280 Goats are herbivores with a natural instinct to graze on a variety of plants, shrubs and 103 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,280 grasses. 104 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:49,480 Grigarius nature, goats are naturally social animals found in herds, displaying strong 105 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:56,240 need for social interaction and companionship. 106 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Mating and reproduction. 107 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,560 Once again, lord of the eight. 108 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,160 Goats have an instinctual mating and reproductive behaviors with seasonal breeding patterns, 109 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,680 once again, typical to animals, nothing big there. 110 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,880 Foraging and climbing skills. 111 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,120 This is unique to a goat. 112 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,000 It's well known there are lots of YouTube videos on that. 113 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,760 Goats have a natural ability to forage and climb steep and rugged terrain, making them 114 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,000 adaptable to various environments. 115 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,920 This would give you a skill. 116 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,920 You've got a climbing instinct. 117 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:34,600 They may be even climbers, if that's in it, isn't Krithika. 118 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,800 Right. 119 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,880 Communication through vocalizations. 120 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:44,480 Lord of the fifth house, goats use vocalizations such as bleeding to communicate with other 121 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:51,040 goats in their herd, conveying information and expressing emotions. 122 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,840 So now let's take combination. 123 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:59,680 Let's take a call of how this ties into the life lesson of Krithika. 124 00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:07,840 Using internal fuel, goals and targets to ignite internal fire and transform your life. 125 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,840 Productive energy to others. 126 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,240 Krithika, you have an internal fire. 127 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,560 You need to use this fire to be able to be productive to others. 128 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,400 And what is that internal fuel? 129 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:27,880 These instincts might give you clue about what your instinct level of functioning is, 130 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,320 apart from the houses, apart from the planets and so on so forth. 131 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,320 Okay. 132 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:39,000 So we need to see that, that particular aspect. 133 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,600 Now let's get into the totem part of it. 134 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:49,240 You see the totem part of it signifies the deeper meaning, not just the instinct level. 135 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,920 You might say it's a deeper level of understanding the instinct itself. 136 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,280 You see what I'm saying. 137 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:03,280 So let's see the totem meaning of peacock beauty and elegance peacocks are known for 138 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,600 their stunning vibrant plumage. 139 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,800 The totem meaning emphasizes the importance of embracing beauty, creativity and elegance 140 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,120 in one's life. 141 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,280 Confidence in self expression. 142 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:25,280 Peacocks display their feathers proudly symbolizing self confidence and the need to express oneself 143 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,600 authentically and boldly using internal fuel. 144 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,960 That's your internal fire, Krithika. 145 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,640 Vision and awareness, the distinctive eye pattern on a peacock's feathers is associated 146 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,400 with vision and heightened awareness. 147 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:50,440 The transformative eye, you might say, their totem may inspire individuals to see situations 148 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,280 from multiple angles and gain a deeper understanding of their surroundings. 149 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,880 Krithika nakshatra has a very sharp tongue. 150 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,720 They are very discerning in their approach. 151 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,960 They can understand things very quick. 152 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,360 They have a powerful discernment. 153 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,960 It's ruled by Agni. 154 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:19,120 Resplendence and exuberance, peacock's vibrance display symbolizes enthusiasm, celebration 155 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,120 and exuberance. 156 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:28,160 Their totem meaning can encourage individuals to embrace moments of joy and celebration. 157 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,120 Very good to have a peacock as a symbol in your house. 158 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:39,240 If you are Krithika dominant, for example, let us see what the goats have as a totem 159 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,600 symbol. 160 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:48,680 Independence and self-reliance, goats are often seen as independent, self-reliant animals, 161 00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:56,800 symbolizing the importance of personal autonomy and the ability to rely on one's own resources, 162 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280 determination and perseverance. 163 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,240 Goats are known for their ability to climb steep, challenging terrain, embracing challenge 164 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,880 with ease, I might say. 165 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,320 Their totem meaning reflects determination, perseverance and willingness to overcome obstacles 166 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,200 in life. 167 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,520 Sacrifice and nurturing In various cultures, goats have been associated 168 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,560 with sacrifice and nurturing. 169 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:30,640 Their totem may represent willingness to make sacrifices for the well-being of others, importance 170 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,520 of caring for loved ones. 171 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,200 I can think of that particular life lesson over here. 172 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,960 Using internal fuel to ignite your internal fire to transform your life. 173 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,560 Inter-brackets, productive energy to others. 174 00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:52,320 Look at that, how closely it ties into sacrifice and nurturing. 175 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:58,600 Playfulness and curiosity Goats are known for their playful, curious 176 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:04,880 nature, encouraging individuals to approach life with a sense of curiosity, childlike 177 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:11,680 curiosity and willingness to explore new experiences. 178 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:17,640 Vertility and abundance Goats are often seen as a symbol of fertility 179 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,640 and abundance. 180 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:31,440 Their totem may represent potential for growth, prosperity and creativity in one's life. 181 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,200 Let's take a step back. 182 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,760 Let's think of Krutika nakshatra and all of these instincts that it possesses. 183 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:45,640 Because this is the symbol given to us by the ancients, the peacock and the goat, as 184 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:51,480 Krutika nakshatra, as the totem symbols and instincts. 185 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:57,240 When we speak of innate talent, which is buried in us, especially if Krutika is dominant 186 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,800 in your natal chart, this is what defines you as a person. 187 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,080 In the next one, let's take up the fourth nakshatra. 188 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:13,800 After Krutika, I think it's Rohini, within Taurus, strongly within Taurus and always try 189 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:23,400 to combine the zodiac energy along with nakshatra energy, the life lesson and the instinct. 190 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,360 You see how complex this gets. 191 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,840 This is the deep level of esoteric understanding folks. 192 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,400 This is not the superficial level. 193 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,480 I'll see you in the next in the meantime. 194 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,960 Thanks for listening, watching and be safe. 195 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,040 Be awesome.
