One of the biggest telltale signs of AI-written text

is the “it’s not just [X], it’s [Y]” sentence structure. For example, “Ardra is not just a stormy nakshatra; it’s a testament to Rudra’s appetite for destruction”.

I saw so many instances of this shit on Vedic tumblr (among other telltale signs of course) with people just eating it up in the comments.

I will personally send the flood. These bitches REALLY got me fucked up.

I think ubp dislikes other’s perceptions of them because others perceptions are usually wrong.

https://www.tumblr.com/lushandlamb/814918486306488320/low-hanging-fruit-but-uttara-bhadrapadas-are

I can agree with that! But, I think I kind of addressed that in the post. Like usually, UBP characters & people have a reserved quality and are underestimated which shows a lack of recognition of their true value. And therefore, a wrong interpretation of who they are. Thinking of some quick examples...

Mikey Madison in Anora is not expected to fight to keep her relationship with Vanya, due to her station in society as a dancer.

KimK was not expected to become one of the greatest media figures, but did so through her attachment to emblematic figures of American society (heiresses, Marilyn Monroe, black people etc.)

In Legally Blonde, Reese's character is not expected to go to Harvard or be capable, but has impeccable drive & perception which allows her to solve the murder case at the end of the movie.

the darakaraka is not just “the spouse indicator.”

that interpretation is far too literal and reduces the entire principle to relationships alone.

the darakaraka is the planet with the lowest degree because it represents the area of consciousness that is the least developed, least stabilized or least integrated within the self. naturally, this becomes something the native seeks externally first like through relationships, projection, obsession, admiration, conflict, or attraction.

people tend to think the darakaraka simply describes the spouse, but more often, it describes the quality the native feels psychologically incomplete without.

this is why people are often deeply affected by those who strongly embody their DK energy, because the planet represents something that feels missing, inaccessible, unstable, or underdeveloped internally.

for example:

sun DK

often reflects difficulty with stable self-definition, authority, confidence in one’s own direction, or feeling internally “solid” in identity. these people are often deeply affected by strong personalities, certainty, status, recognition, or people with a strong sense of self because the solar principle feels underdeveloped internally.

moon DK

reflects instability in emotional continuity, receptivity, nurturance, or internal safety. there can be difficulty fully understanding or regulating emotional states, leading to attraction toward emotionally expressive, comforting, or psychologically intuitive people.

mars DK

often reflects difficulty with assertion, direct action, decisiveness, anger integration, or sustained force of will. these people may admire or seek individuals who embody confidence, initiative, protectiveness, or strong physical/psychological drive.

mercury DK

reflects instability around interpretation, communication, adaptability, analysis, or intellectual coherence. there may be overthinking, fragmentation, nervous mental activity, or difficulty grounding perception into clarity. attraction often forms toward intelligent, articulate, mentally quick, or observant individuals.

jupiter DK

often reflects difficulty with meaning, faith, internal guidance, wisdom, or trust in life itself. these natives may feel directionless internally or constantly searching for philosophical orientation, causing strong attraction toward people who seem knowledgeable, stable, wise, or morally certain.

venus DK

reflects instability around self-worth, pleasure, intimacy, receptivity, or relational harmony. there is often a deep longing for beauty, connection, affection, or emotional softness because venusian ease does not feel naturally self-sustaining internally.

saturn DK

often reflects difficulty with discipline, endurance, structure, consistency, patience, or psychological grounding. these natives may feel chronically behind, unstable, or unable to fully contain themselves, leading to attraction toward people who embody control, maturity, restraint, or reliability.

this is also why the DK frequently manifests through projection. the native unconsciously searches for the missing planetary principle outside of themselves before learning how to integrate it internally.

and this is only the planetary layer. the sign, nakshatra, house placement, aspects, dignity, and divisional chart repetition modify how this lack is experienced and what form it takes psychologically, which my next posts will be about.

A Major Issue in Nakshatra Analysis

is that people often take nakshatras’ major associations and stick with assumptions based on those associations.

Probably the most glaring example of this is how people look at Krittika, see that it’s associated with the Sun, and then listen to Cholera Nakti saying that it’s the “birth of the masculine principle”, and then assume that Krittika women as a trend are manly.

But you’ll see that Krittika women in general are some of the most stereotypically feminine beings around. Don’t forget Krittika is the birth nakshatra of the Moon.

I want to bring awareness to this because many don’t seem to observe the actual natives of the nakshatras and go off of textbook definitions.

These don’t work.

PS: To be clear, there is nothing wrong with making generalizations about nakshatras. They just have to be grounded in reality.

Nakshatra Observation Series Part IV

Krittika

​The Core Vibe you guys give me: "The General in an Apron"

I have observed that Krittika energy is a confusing but also a blend of extreme sharpness and extreme softness. It is the star of the Razor and Fire (Agni), but it falls largely in Taurus (the sign of comfort) and late Aries. The vibe I consistently pick up is that of a "protector" who is dangerous. They feel like a guard dog that is currently resting, warm to the touch, but with teeth that can snap at a moment's notice. There is a "royal" quality here due to the Sun’s rulership, they expect to be obeyed without having to raise their voice.

​Physiognomy & Facial Structure

​The "Eagle" Nose: The most consistent physical trait I have observed is a prominent, strong nose. It often has a slight bump or a "beak-like" quality. It is commanding and regal, acting as the "sun" of their face. It isn't a small or button nose, it is a feature that defines their profile pretty much.

​The "Sad" Eyes: Despite their fiery reputation, I have noticed that Krittika natives (especially the women) have a distinct "longing" in their eyes. The outer corners often droop slightly downwards, giving them a "puppy-dog" or melancholic expression. This aligns with the mythology of the "adopted child" (Kartikeya) they look like they are waiting for someone to come back.

​The "Razor" Jawline: Even when they carry extra weight (which the Taurus side often does), I have observed that the bone structure of the jaw remains sharp and defined. The face often has a square or rectangular solidity to it, suggesting endurance and stubbornness.

​The "Flushed" Neck: Since Taurus rules the throat, and Krittika is Agni (fire), I have noticed they often get red blotches on their neck or chest when they are emotional, embarrassed, or angry. Their skin is highly reactive to heat and friction.

​Somatic & Movement Patterns

​The "Cutting" Gestures: Watch their hands when they speak. I have observed they use "chopping" motions. They use their flat hand to strike the air or point a singular finger to emphasize a point. They are physically "editing" the space around them, cutting away what they deem unnecessary.

​The "Stiff-Necked" Walk: They do not swivel their heads easily. I have noticed a rigidity in the upper spine and neck area. When they turn to look at you, they turn their whole torso. It gives them an air of stiffness or pride, but somatically it’s because they hold immense tension in their trapezius muscles (the burden of leadership).

​The "Digestive" Focus: They are obsessed with oral satisfaction. I have observed that they chew their food with an intensity. They don't just eat they demolish a meal hehe. You can see the pleasure and the aggression in the way they consume things. If they are not eating, they are often biting their lip or chewing gum aggressively gives off pissed vibes.

​Behavioral & Psychological "Tells"

​The "Grammar Police": The razor symbol manifests intellectually as a need to correct errors. I have noticed they cannot let a mistake slide. If you mispronounce a word or get a fact wrong, they will interrupt you to fix it. They aren't trying to be mean, to them, an error is an impurity that must be burned away immediately. (you cannot point out errors in this post I ran it through Ai to give it a structure 😌)

​The "Sudden" Flare Up: Unlike the slow burn of other signs, Krittika anger is an explosion. I have observed that they go from zero to one hundred in a second, usually over something small (like being hungry or seeing something messy), but they also cool down just as fast. It is like a "flash fire" if that makes sense?

​The "Foster" Instinct: They are magnetic to "broken" things. I have observed that their homes are often filled with rescue animals or friends who are going through a hard time. However, their nurturing is not "mushy." It is strict. They will feed you and care for you, but they will also boss you around and tell you to get your life together while they do it.

​Intolerance for "Waffle": They hate ambiguity. I have noticed that if you tell a long, winding story, they will physically recoil or start looking at their watch. They want the bullet points. They crave clarity and sharpness in communication and will become visibly irritated by people who mumble or are indecisive.

Thank you!

Low hanging fruit, but Uttara Bhadrapadas are always incredibly shy. If not shy, very reserved and like to keep to themselves and dislike other people’s perceptions of them. Wrapped in mystery. As a result, I think they can be underestimated and seen as superficial when there’s more than what meets the surface.

Krittika Women - Truth

Quick post today! I was listening to Lena Dunham (Krittika Sun) discuss this intense self-critique she had that was combined with pride & a need to reveal her truth. One of the many criticisms of her most known work (Girls HBO) is the warts-and-all approach to women, dating, bodies. The sisterhood that women often cling to may be enmeshment & codependency. The tolerance of an Adam type may just be one's willingness to debase themselves for a sense of companionship. The sex scenes are often unsexy (2012's words, not mine!) & can veer into frightening, lol. Interestingly, she states "self-immolation", the practice of lighting one's self on fire in order to spread awareness to a social cause (an impurity in society) and in a larger constance, sacrifice one's self for the good of the people. Naturally, this relates to Krittika's dahana shakti (power to burn and purify). Re: my post on George Bailey's personal sacrifices for his community & Prometheus's sacrifice for society. The podcast notes that Dunham became a sort of catch-all for all issues of modern liberal society (white privilege, hapless feminism, myopic views: her words, not mine!) A sacrificial lamb, if you will! And Krittika is often sensitive to critique & ego (proving themselves in society)! This may relate to why Dunham resonated so much with negative feedback despite the positive.

Altogether it's fitting that a Krittika native, @dhumavati is highlighting the truth of each nakshatra by highlighting, showcasing impurities & faults. Not only in the nakshatra of choice's physical ugliness, but also to how our Vedic community can be self-centered and excessively focused on beauty & looks. A warts-and-all approach, not only in content, but also in diction! It's a small sample size, but in such quick time, both received attention for caring about an ugly truth. Fin.

Krittika Women: Jigsaw

Krittika women are all cheeks. And hilariously, these cheeks resemble those of Jigsaw.

And on top of that, Krittika women’s faces always seem to be swollen for some reason. Fat deposits? Water retention? Can someone tell these bıtches that their faces are about to explode?

Here is Exhibit KKK: bloated bıtch KKKaroline Leavitt, Press Secretary for the Orange Skidmark, with Krittika Moon. Her face looks like a papaya rotting from the inside. And the White Orange House recently got TMZ to delete an “unflattering” picture of her. Bıtch you are not flattering from any angle.

And of course, there’s Krittika Sun Laura Loomer, the archetypal Jigsaw Krittika woman. What’s with these Krittika women in the Orange Skidmark’s orbit???

Megan Fox, Krittika Sun:

Janet Jackson, Krittika Sun:

Blac Chyna, Krittika Sun:

So what did ms. klaire nöckty say again? Lamb-pretty?

Yeah.

Ok.

the way you analyse New jeans..can you do BLACKPINK too and like, tell us, what is it that make them so unique astrologically 🎀

What Nakshatra Makes BlackPink BlackPink?

BlackPink is a South Korean girl group which debuted August 8th 2016 at 8 PM in Seoul, South Korea. The group has Ashlesha Sun, Chitra Moon, & Dhanishtha Ascendant. 

Chitra nakshatra can be under either the Virgo or Libra rashis, but is located in Virgo, in the second pada. The combination of Mars & Mercury is that of harnessed power and skill. Chitra’s shakti is to accumulate merit. Its deity is Tvastr, a divine crafter. Naturally, it would be easy to associate this with Venus, but the Martian quality is in the ambition, the work, the effort of refinement. The pressure that accrues to build the diamond, crystalline and structured. If anything, BlackPink has refined the way KPop girl groups are formed & YG has been quite strategic in planning BP’s career. Before BlackPink, it was not common for a girl group to have each member signed to a high fashion house. But now, it’s understood that campaigns are useful for worldbuilding & building an image of the idol. It elevated KPop idols to a global audience & gave legitimacy to the group. BlackPink's members have pushed themselves to a level of celebrity that previously had not been seen. Jennie & Chanel. Jisoo & Dior. Lisa & Celine. Rosé & Yves Saint Laurent. BlackPink uniquely doesn’t release much and in their most active period, had about one comeback a year. However, this absence led to BlackPink accomplishing huge records with each comeback due to fandom fervor, which can be attributed to Dhanishtha’s shakti of accumulating fame. Often, their producer Teddy has responded to the backlash with the quality over quantity sense, which reflects the taming of power. The scarcity makes each comeback feel monumental. 

Chitra & the quality of being manufactured can also lead to many derisions of BlackPink i.e (BlackPink doesn’t write their own music, BlackPink are not artists; they’re models, BlackPink are just coworkers, BlackPink are formulaic.) For a long period, there was the ‘I hate BlackPink’ where people often felt that there was something disingenuous about the group, which I would correlate with Chitra. Chitra, with its emphasis on molding & sculpting, can be linked to plastic surgery & I think Chitra women will often be critiqued for being fake or being made up, especially when it comes to looks or personality. Additionally, I think BlackPink’s militant style is derived from Chitra as a placement. I think that’s where you get the girl crush sound of Kill This Love, How You Like That, Pretty Savage, etc. There’s an appraisal of their value, their sense.

P.S. I realize that this may sound negative towards BlackPink, but this is more of an understanding as BP as a group, unit, concept over individual members. And thank you for your ask, anon!

It's A Wonderful Life: Krittika

Happy New Years! Merry Christmas! It’s A Wonderful Life is a 1946 film detailing the life of George Bailey and saving him from a suicide attempt after he falls into major debt. It stars James Stewart, Krittika Sun & Uttara Ashadha Moon (C rated birth time) and directed by Krittika Sun Frank Capra (AA rated birth time). It’s a quintessential Christmas movie and represents some Solar traits! 

To start, Bailey desires to live an unattached & boundless life. He plans to travel, but is repeatedly pushed by life in order to serve his community. His acts of service enrich others, but hinder him. As a child, he saves his brother Harry’s life which allows Harry to become a war hero, but indirectly leads to George having to stay at home. He sacrifices his honeymoon funds to support the citizens of Bedford Falls during the Great Depression. His brother chooses to live away from home, causing George to forgo his dreams of working beyond the family company. This represents the selflessness that Solar natives can exhibit. He handles these troubles stoically & quietly feels this angst, while building a life with his first love, Mary, played by Uttara Phalguni Moon Donna Reed. Also, his bank’s mission is to let each man end up owning his own home, rather than being indebted to one man’s power. It’s a lesson of self-determination & idealistic American views of individualism. This reflects the idea of a force being so yang that it becomes yin. Briefly in my Purva Phalguni post, I discussed how the overwhelming energy of fandom, attention ends up becoming yin & a sucking of one’s spirit rather than an imposition. Just as a fire burns and exerts its warmth, it can wither away into nothingness again. 

After Bailey’s relative loses about 8,000 dollars, Bailey is left unable to pay the greedy Mr. Potter played by Ashwini Sun & Magha Moon Lionel Barrymore, which leads to contemplating ending his life. However, the resolution of this story is when the members of his community all come together to pay back his debt. His moral code, honor, and individual commitment to the community is a spiritual value that grants him the love of the community & allows him to restore his former position. He is the richest man in Bedford Falls. Agni is the deity of fire sacrifice, a traditional portal of the material to the spiritual, man to divine. The gift of fire from Prometheus had to have been stolen from the gods and is man’s link to innovation. Prometheus’s personal sacrifice encourages the development of humanity. George Bailey’s personal sacrifice encourages the development of his community.
