In Indian philosophy, there are three Gunas known as Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. They are known as the three processes, which help us lead a successful life. Krittika Nakshatra has the Rajas Guna, which bestows upon the native, the quality of a royal warrior.

Each Nakshatra has a particular bird symbol, which signifies us that the energy related to that bird is residing within us, and is related to that particular Constellation/Nakshatra.

The quality of a warrior only comes when we know “how to balance the energy”. In addition, balance will come into our lives only when we have a strong foundation. If we observe the Peacock carefully, the metatarsal spurs of the peacock gives them a strong foundation to defend themselves against predators. This is a great lesson from the Peacock that the Krittika Nakshatra natives should learn and remember. The most amazing aspect in this is that the Presiding Deity of Krittika, who is Kartikeya, also rides on the Peacock, and so the people born under the Krittika constellation have to make their foundation strong, as these mythologies and symbols have a secret message, which reveals the idea of getting great success for the Krittika Nakshatra born people.
