Nakshatras and their Shakti pt 1

What is Shakti?

Shakti translates to power in english , in the abode of stars each nakshatra is a blessed with a power that's inherent to them , the power in this sector can be channeled as a divine guiding force for a beautiful fruitful life . Check for your moon , sun and your Atmakraka ( planet in the highest degree ) .

I will make a part two if this post reaches enough hehe

Ashwini

Shidravyapani Shakti

Power to quickly attain ones motives or wishes , this applies in the sector of motivation and manifestation, Ashwini starts off as the sign with the most healing abilities guided by the Ashwin twins, being in the Ashwini Nakshatra your thoughts manifest being it good or bad , one has to practice discernment to thoroughly gain from this shakti , go for all the things that excite you and feel your true desires as the start of attaining something is to belive it's already yours. One in this Nakshatra can attain health and let go of disease just by commanding it feeling it. Residing in the mantra realm of Akarshan.

Bharani

Apabharani shakti

Power to take something away , let go of something one has . Bharani as in Atharvaveda is considered as the last nakshatra , as the nakshatra of letting go of the body. One in this Nakshatra holds the power to take things that they want for themselves as well as letting go of what they don't want, this commands as an equal force of give and take a say a power in both the sectors , in Ashwini one could see the power to attain but in Bharani one has the power to let go , let go of disease , poverty , negative thinking .

Krittika

Dahana shakti

The act of burning and purifying , in hinduism fire is considered as an element of purification being it in a yagya or after death rituals, krittika with this shakti acts a Phoenix, this shakti gives krittika natives the power to destroy themselves to purify themselves, reaching the depths of their soul or rock bottom to rise above it , it's getting closer to ones rebirth . A very easy ritual for krittika natives is to write what they wanna let go of and burn it so that the fires may take away your pain, a prayer to the fire liberates . This shakti also gives you the power to bring change in the lives of the people around you , like the very strict teacher who ultimately leads to the growth of a student.

Rohini

Rohana shakti

The power of creation and the gift of fertility. After krittika burns and purifies Rohini makes the land fertile for growth. This shakti bestows the native a power of creativity and bringing their imagination to life , this is the first nakshatra of control as you're the creatrix , this Nakshatra gives the native the art and knowledge of saving and combining things and an eye for the bigger picture the patience the abilities that a perfect thing takes to develop . Masters of the process .

Mrigashira

Prinana shakti

The shakti of satisfaction and fulfillment. Mrigashira is not always the nakshatra of search its also the nakshatra of finding what one was searching . This shakti gives the native to be fulfilled in whatever endeavour they choose , they also bring a sense of fulfillment in other people's lives , to me mrigashira is a balance of the masculine and feminine the form of Ardhanareshwar . They can do anything cause they embody the ultimate fulfillment in themselves .

Ardra

Yatna Shakti

Yatna stands for effort , trial , this shakti is vast and diverse but what one requires is effort , if the native let's go of laziness one can find almost a meditative form of process to victory . The native has to just start and things fall in the right place . It's like a tortured victory but a victory is a victory the nature doesn't forget the process, it remembers , it remembers the form of Rudra in rage fighting for what belongs to one , the native inspires other people a spirit of fighting for rightes and gaining through the effort .

Punarvasu

Vastutva prapana shakti

The power to gain objectives and wealth , punrvasu is the rehabilitation after the tortured gain of ardra , vastytva prapana shakti bestows the native the power and the knowledge to gain what they want in life through their knowledgeable efforts . The natives act as the people who show people how simple being and positive vibration can attract so much in ones life .They can easily attract wealth and materials in their life . The native manifests through embodiment and vision boards .

Pushya

Brahmavarchava shakti

The power to harness creative spiritual energy . In Rohini we saw the start of creativity , in Pushya one harnesses it through themselves and the nature . Pushya is reiki energy , a pushya native enters the room and gives out their energy. They can easily create through their wishes , one of the fastest power in manifestation . The native becomes a beacon of light and nourishment to the people around them.

Ashlesha

Ashleshana shakti

The power to inflict poison and destroy . It's no secret that ashlesha is the most seductive nakshtra , this power bestows the native to destroy the enemy by the virtue of their presence and words no weapons are required they're a friend to a friend and the worst enemy to a enemy, a silent weapon of mystery and power . The natives are like Apsara Tillotama who made Sund and Upasund who killed themselves for her . A process of slow destruction is done by them to the enemy .

Vamps and Krittika

I briefly talked about Krittika being the Vampire archetype because of the purification aspect of it. Claire talks more about vampires in her new Mula video. While Mula dominates this trope I have seen the connection with vampires to Krittika’s purification. Claire mentions it’s important to note that vampire films are numerous and casting is broad overall. Which is why we see a a range of different naks in the vampire archetype, creating different types of vamps.

Krittika is ruled by Agni, the Fire God, which represents purification through destruction and renewal. These natives being early solars, lack control over their newfound power of purification/ transformation. The vampire archetype is similarly tied to themes of transformation—living in a state of deathlessness, often feeding off others to sustain their vitality. Vampires destroy to create, much like Krittika’s ability to burn away what no longer serves in order to purify and thrive.

Vampires are inherently tied to the concept of death, but not as an end—it is a state of becoming. Their immortality comes at the cost of their mortal life, symbolizing the shedding of the old self to attain a higher, albeit darker, state of existence. This “death” can be seen as a purifying process that strips away attachments and limitations, pushing one toward a new identity or reality.

Ex: Robert Patterson (Krittika Sun native/solar Ak) played one of the most popular vampires on television.

Ex: Megan Fox (Krittik Sun native) played a vampire in Night Teeth when she came back to television

Ex: Jacob Anderson (Birthtime not yet confirmed would supposedly have a Krittika Venus AK) played Louis de Pointe du Lac in Anne Rice’s TV series adaptation of Interview with a Vampire. I’d argue that the TV series is profoundly better than the original movie.

Much like Krittika’s shadow period, vampires live in their state of death and darkness. Vampires, like Krittika natives, are untamable forces that must consume (symbolically or literally) to maintain their magnetic allure and vitality. By taking “life” from others, they metaphorically strip away the old to reveal deeper truths about mortality, vitality, and the essence of being.

Krittika, is about burning away impurities to reveal clarity; truth seekers . Vampires, too, act as a force that removes the superficial, leaving only the essential behind; Liberators.

Vampires often represent what is repressed in society: sexual energy, autonomy, and raw instinct. Acknowledging and integrating these aspects of oneself can be deeply purifying.

In literature and mythology, vampires often serve as catalysts for change in those they encounter. Their presence forces others to confront their fears, desires, and inner truths, leading to a form of purification. For instance, many vampire stories involve characters who must overcome their own darkness or flaws to survive, thrive, or defeat the vampire.

However, eventually Krittika becomes bright and light. This nak does not dwell forever in darkness. This is merely an archetypal observation to the purification aspect of Krittika.

In conclusion, the vampire archetype is connected to purification through its association with transformation, shadow work, and renewal. Vampires strip away impurities.
