All Krittika like to eat and cook.
(Surya-Kuja-Agni; Surya-Shukra-Agni.)
Inner emotional orientation is chronically, permanently energized to sharpen, strengthen, reshape & improve.
Expert & incisive social critic. "Cuts to the chase." Fixer & changer. Acts to incise inferiority, imperfection, and disease.
Thinks highly of oneself (although the feelings about oneself can dip quite low). High entitlement. Works hard, and expects success to come to them. Usually it does.
The body has hot temperature (Surya-Agni!) and the passions are fiery.
Krittika may criticize others as a form of emotional self-defense.
Sharp tools of critical argumentation. Military general, shaping aggressive forces in battle. Uses words as cutting instruments. Surgical skill with cutting edges, razors, knives, lasers, fire, most forms of metal weaponry.
If negative conditions apply, terror of rejection generates perfectionism, vindictive blaming of others (e.g., blaming the poor for poverty). Impatient & intolerant. A brilliant & successful liar, who insists that his actions are always praiseworthy.
Under positive conditions, Krittika's sharp social criticism may create a prophet or social reformer of great merit.
Loves fine food & wines & sensual touching pleasures.
Good cook & connoisseur. Deep anxiety can trigger excessive behavior = gluttony for food, drink, and sex:.
Feels a deep sense of security and belonging
When cooking and eating, whether the food is physical, emotional, psychological, social, financial, mental, or spiritual. (I.e., any type of nourishment whether material or conceptual.)
The native will establish the deepest emotional bond with one who cuts and cooks alongside or shares the act of nourishment. This person may be the co-eater, the co-drinker, the fire-maintainer, or the cooperating sensual celebrant in any setting.
Deep emotional need to dominate, to cook & to be nourished.

Agni (fire sacrifice)
Trauma profile:
Trauma profile: "starvation"
Krittika's psycho-emotional condition initiates in the current life when the mother does not sufficiently nurture her infant. Although she may care for the child publicly, and she may live her entire life in firm denial of the fact, indeed the mother did not want the child.
The child knows this in utero, and the child feels her disinterest after birth in the form of insufficient holding, inadequate access to the breast, and the mother being too busy with distractions such as other children, studies, or work. The child compensates by working extra hard to gain the mother's attention, and the child becomes a "praise junkie" trying harder and harder to gain full & lasting approval.
Inside, he becomes extremely critical of himself to the point of self-hatred, but lavishly indulges himself with every form of rich nutrient he can obtain. Krittika natives are particularly prone to self-medication with alcohol because of the liquid-feeding experience mixed with the mind-numbing drug that dumbs down his internal self-criticism.
Criticism of others is also his weapon, used to destroy others who may be competing for the praising attention he so desperately craves.
Often very high achievers leading huge organizations.
In public, they praise their mothers to the sky.
In private, Krittika natives resent their mothers deeply, and criticize their female partners in work & marriage for weakness, insufficient attention, & lack of interest in the Krittika native's success.
In marriage, the male Krittika in particular may fear that the spouse will not nourish him or will drive him into a state of sensual-emotional starvation. Krittika seeks attention elsewhere & will tend to stray.
Navamsha Moon in Krittika (intimate relationships)
In order to mirror one's own subconscious emotional patterns, one attracts a core partner who expresses Krittika behavior.
Under emotional stress in relationships, the native with navamsha Chandra in Krittika can experience anxiety reactions that manifest as compulsive self-criticism & obsessive programs of purifying fault-eradication.
The partner needs a clear & rigid path toward perfection. Partner is a sharp, principled, intolerant critic with strong ethical & aesthetic commitments.
Partner may be ruthless in weeding out inappropriate or undesirable company, so that the native cannot easily enjoy diverse friendships while also satisfying the partner's rules.
Partner may be highly respected in their technical field esp. any form of cutting: "cutting out", "cutting up", "cutting away".
