I’m just going to put this here, hopefully it doesn’t come true but I had a dream that a well known African-American YouTuber passed away. I’m unsure though because it was sort of like an announcement. I won’t say who it is but *knock on wood*, hopefully it turns out to be just a dream.
Krittika wouldn’t be the children being sacrificed, Krittika would be the Canaanite god Baal/Moloch receiving the children (sacrificial offerings) to consume them (through the fire/Agni) during this sacrificial ritual of fire. As I mentioned previously, offerings were put metaphorically in the mouth of Agni during the sacred fire rituals of Yajna (which he consumes/burns) so that their prayers could be answered and they could receive whatever it is that they were asking for or just receive divine favor/support in general. I will admit that the situation with sacrificing children through fire onto to Baal/Moloch is much darker and sinister usage of Agni’s fire (Think of how hollywood allegedly have celebrities sacrifice people who are important to them as a means to receive fame and fortune or the conspiracy theory revolving around politicians sacrificing children to a large owl at the bohemian grove for power and longevity) but fire ultimately consumes. However, the sacred fire rituals of Yajna don’t usually involve humans sacrifice but Agni technically “devours” Svaha” since she is symbolic of the oblation so there’s a possibility there.
P.S. I’m not a professional or doctor so please do not see me as one. Anyways, two of the many auspicious activities for Krittika according to Prash Trivedi are “fire rituals”, “all activities involving use of fire and heat”. As for professions, “spiritual teachers who promote worship involving Surya or fire”, and “professions involving fire, like fire dancers or fire sacrifice”.
Marlon Wayne - Pushya Sun “what are you willing to sacrifice?’l
In this clip from the latest film HIM, Pushya Sun native Marlon Wayne’s asks his trainee, during an intense training session, what he is willing to sacrifice and the trainee responds with “everything!”. The trainee in question aspires to become a renowned and famous football player like his coach (played by Marlon Waynes), but the path demands that much be given before anything can be received, which is why these sessions are so grueling. As mentioned before, both Pushya and Krittika nakshatras revolve around the concept of sacrifice and this film reflects that theme, though with a more sinister twist. Marlon Wayne’s character takes on a symbolic priest role, preparing his trainees before they are metaphorically sent into the fire (Agni-Krittika). I’m not surprised that this position has been given to a Pushya native because Pushya nakshatra is the sacrificial priest. I also believe that Marlon’s character also endured the same vigorous and brutal training to prove himself (what he was also willing to sacrifice at one point in time), before ascending to the role of the one who now initiates others.

The iconography of bull-horned Dionysus
"There are countless characteristics of Dionysos for those who wish to represent him in painting or sculpture, by depicting which even approximately the artist has captured the god. For instance, the ivy clusters forming a crown are the clear mark of Dionysus, even if the workmanship is poor; and a horn just springing from the temples reveals Dionysus, and a leopard, though but just visible, is a symbol of the god;" - Philostratus, Imagines 1.15 (Greek rhetorician C3rd A.D.)

The sacrificial duo | Krittika (Agni) & Pushya (Brihaspati)
Pushya and Krittika both revolve around the concept of sacrifice. Pushya is the priest (Brihaspati, whose known to be the priest of the devas) who brings the sacrificial offering and Krittika is the fire that consumes (dahana shakti) the sacrificial offering, through which Pushya receives spiritual energy (brahmavarchasa shakti) in return. In India, there is a sacred fire ritual called Yajña (a visual illustration of what a Yajna can be seen above), which offerings are placed into a consecrated fire (Agni) while mantras are chanted, as a means of invoking divine favor. Svaha was the goddess chanted during Yajna. The reason her name is interwoven into this ceremony is from her association with sacrificial offerings. Therefore, her name is invoked during the fire ceremony of Yajna and becomes an important figure when it’s performed. Her marriage to Agni symbolizes the sacrificial offering being given to the fire, ultimately marking Svaha necessary for the completion of the ceremony itself. Agni (as well as his wife Svaha to some extent) acts as an intermediary between the devotes and the devas, consuming the offering (Agni is called the mouth of the devas) and taking their prayers to the devas so they could have them acknowledged/answered.
The blade Issac was going to use on his son Jacob as a means to facilitate his sacrifice to God is one of the primary symbols of Krittika nakshatra (Krittika symbolism is still involved in sacrifice even without the presence of fire but generally fire ceremonies and rituals are associated with Krittika). Issac, in this context, would be the priest and Jacob the sacrificial offering (Svaha) to God. It was a moment between God and Issac in which God is testing Isaac’s faith, and Issac is simultaneously demonstrating his devotion as a worshipper of God through the willingness to sacrifice his son Jacob under the command of God. Conveniently, Pushya nakshatra has sacrificial worship as basis above and worshipper as basis below, Pushya reveals itself as the worshipper through the act of sacrifice.
P.S. I’m not a professional or doctor so please do not see me as one. As for the sacrificial lamb, it’s not Krittika, neither Pushya but Krittika and Pushya are sheep yonis.

Issac nearly sacrificing Jacob as a means to show his devotion to God 🤝 Pushya/Krittika coded
I’ll explain on why I think this later on. I made the connection between Krittika and Pushya pertaining to this subject on a separate platform but I sorta want to share that here too. This particular incident in the Bible between Issac, Jacob and God reminded me of that connection!

Solar Women and The Curse of Sacrifice
None of them really love you...they just fixated on you because of how you made them feel. But that's not real love.
Solar Nakshatra women possess within them a unique inner radiance, that translates to an external shine. That shine provokes a plethora of reactions from the native’s environment, some of them less obvious than you would think from such a positive placement. The Sun is a sad lesson in realizing, that when people see something good in front of them, they want to own it and control it, and try to destroy what they can’t control.
We must remember, that the Sun has a malefic nature to it. It is responsible for dividing limitations, drawing territorial lines, ruling over its kingdom and burning its enemies. The king has an unquestionable, objective advantage of position and with that advantage comes power. However, with power comes jealousy, competition and fake flattery practiced by sneaky position-grabbers.
Solar Nakshatras over time grow into not trusting most people, as they deal a lot with those who simply want to stay in their good graces for their own benefit. People desire to bask in their energy so much they will do everything to hold onto it, even just for a chance for a “turn” with them. The mere presence of the Solar woman makes men feel validated in their masculinity and women feeling like some of that magical shine is falling on them.
The difficulty starts when people realize they’re not allowed access to that magical Solar energy anymore. The intense jealousy experienced causes the Solar native enemies. “If I can’t have her, nobody can”. First, they try to control such a woman and lock her up, then if that fails, they try to destroy her.
To understand the reason behind such reactions in people, minus the basic psychology of human pettiness, we can look to Kabbalah in order to understand the energy of Tiphareth.
The karmic purpose of Tiphareth, and thus, the Sun, is to achieve an energetic state of higher being and enter into a real connection with the Divine. In fact, Kabbalah compares Tiphareth to Jesus dying on the Cross in the name of God. So the native is required to give up any latent internal narcissism, that can come with being born into advantage, and truly join God from an ascended, more selfless place.
In fact, Tiphareth can be so in love with their own energetic radiance and beauty, they can think themselves superior to others. The Universe sends them “punishing” experiences in order for them to understand the meaning and value of true love, in both human and divine form. Otherwise, they get “killed” for the purpose of their beauty being sacrificed for a higher purpose, even if that is done so through people’s lower reactions.
Solar women actually really struggle to find true love, because they struggle to find people who genuinely care for their best interests instead of just using them. The curse of the Sun is to be “lonely at the top”. But if they have inner perseverance and don’t fall too far into the narcissism spectrum, they end up recognizing those who truly love them over those who simply envy them.
Picture examples:
Cameron Diaz, Krittika Moon
Cameron Diaz has had many famous roles, but in the context of this subject, the best example is her role in There’s Something About Mary.
Mary is a beautiful, giving young woman with a soft spot for disabled people due to her own family situation. However, she has no luck in relationships, as she attracts perverts, stalkers and creeps who lie, commit fraud and adopt false identities just to be able to get near her or get a scrap of her attention. She actually had to get a restraining order against one of them, move across the country and change her name to protect her peace. These men all act like they’re entitled to something from her just because of her kindness. Mary only finds love with Ted, when he calls out her past lovers on not really caring about her well being, but simply being around her radiance being a balm on their insecurities. He’s also proved to be the only one to actually have interests in common with her and get along with her family. This is the level of choosiness a Solar woman must adopt.
Elle Fanning, Uttara Phalguni Moon.
Elle has had several roles, that exemplify the Solar woman archetype. One of them is her performance in A Rainy Day in New York, where she is a student interviewing celebrities and artists for her college newspaper. As she meets them, famous men all find her attractive and want to have an affair with her, but at the end of the day she finds herself abandoned in difficult circumstances, when all these men want to own her, but ultimately leave her to fend for herself. She ends up single, when her boyfriend realizes she doesn’t share any of his interests or aspirations. This is a good example of a Solar woman who hasn’t managed to find a partner through the right set of guidelines, but is still learning them.
In The Neon Demon, Elle actually embodies the Narcissus type, falling in love with her own beauty and being careless with people’s jealousy over it, using them for her own advantage when she is forced to, but at the end of the day showing condescension towards a more innocent form of infatuation. As a result of her mistakes, she gets killed by jealous women in a ritual used to take her shine away from her, as per the “Sacrificed” archetype. You can also see the women who killed her benefiting from her energy after her death.
Monica Belucci, Uttara Ashadha Ascendant in Malena.
Malena is the most beautiful woman in town, but she attracts attention of too many men, and her beauty sparks intense jealousy of local women. As a result, they beat her up, permanently changing her. She is only accepted when she is no longer a threat to the townsfolk, and settled with her husband she fits into the community.
I absolutely love that you’ve incorporated the Kabbalistic sephiroths in this as well. You’ve summarized Tiphareth beautifully ☀️

I wanted to say how your words actually reminded me of the story in the Markandeya Purana, which involves Surya (personification of the Sun in the Hindu pantheon) and his wife Sanjana, like the dynamic is such a perfect metaphor for this. Sanjana, throuh married to the Sun God, couldn’t bear his overwhelming heat. Her solution? She left a shadow of herself behind and went into the forest to perform penance. Surya of course, sensed the truth and later had Vishwakarma (Santana’s father) reduce his radiance so he could be more bearable to others. Even the excess light had to be transmitted. Keyword, transmitted, not destroyed but redirected into weapons, symbols of purpose and protection (depending on its wielder of course). That’s the journey of the Solar soul, learning to temper their brilliance so it serves something higher rather than scorching everything in its path. Which the Sun can unintentionally and unknowingly do this, as can be seen in the astrological concept of combustions. Though Sattva (light, clarity, harmony, balance, etc, etc), it’s still very much a malefic, though mild, it should be considered regardless. Which I’m so glad that you mentioned it as well.

As you said mention, Tiphareth does represents the heart of the Tree of Life, the Sun/Son, the sephira of harmony, beauty, and spiritual balance. It’s the place of sacrificed radiance, what some call the Christ principle or even the archetype of the wounded healer. We all know the treatment Christ received when he walked this earth, despite being the Son of the living God. Just like Surya had to reduce his radiance, and have his light transmitted not destroyed but redirected and so too did Christ. He dimmed his own natural brilliance to serve a much greater purpose, his father’s work. From Christ doing so allowed for others to receive his healing, his message and his overall presence cause as I had mentioned prior, Surya’s initially had been an overwhelming presence, to where it had the negative effect of pushing others away rather than bringing them in. This would have interfered with the greater work at large Christ was ultimately sent to fulfill. Light’s not being vanished but transmuted. However there’s pain here for sure. One of the magical images for this sephiroth is a “sacrificed god” and to sacrifice can be difficult.

Tiphareth also serves as a bridge between the upper sephiroth (divine/spiritual) and the lower sephiroth (earthly/human). To stand at this junction means it must mediate between both worlds. That mediation itself is a sacrifice. The solar soul has to be refined enough to transmit the divine without letting ego distort it and humble enough to walk amongst people without clinging to superiority. Which is why I say that the Sun is not ego. It’s not suppose to be egoic. It’s not about being seen, it’s about illuminating. Here is where you give up self-glory to reflect divine glory. That is the sacrifice, not physical death in cases but egoic death, surrending the need to be adored or understood, in order to act as a mirror for divine truth. The examples that you’ve used here were so on par with just that. Beautifully illustrated.

There’s also a second tale also involving Surya but also Hanuman, which I believe adds another powerful layer. More so further confirming the reaction Solar energy ignites around itself. Hanuman had mistaken Surya for a fruit cause of his radiance and had attempted to consume him but had been struck with lightening by Indra. Mistaking Surya for a fruit shows how innocent eagerness or desire can come into conflict with overwhelming divinity and even a childlike soul like Hanuman was met with divine consequences when he overreached (similar to the Greek lore of Icarus and the Sun). It reinforces the idea that those who carry solar power often trigger reactions in others simply because of the intensity of their presence, even unintentionally, as you can see in the tale of Hanuman and Surya. Their light can confuse, attract, or even provoke. Not out of malice but because divine radiance always demands right relationship. Christ also experienced this as well.

Interestingly enough the director for the renowned film, Passion of Christ was directed by Mel Gibson, who has a sun nakshatra moon. In the 2001, Son Of God series, Diogo Morgado who played as Christ has an Uttara Ashahda sun and mercury, with jupiter and mars in Leo. Furthermore, in the series, Yellowjacket, Ellen Purnell’s (who has an Uttara Phalguni sun) charcater, Jackie is the first to unwillingly sacrificed by and amongst her friends for their ultimate survival. It’s interesting to see how this all plays out. Thank you for bringing this to light ✨(no pun intended ;))

Evrart de Conty, Livre des échecs amoureux moralisés; Jacques Legrand, Archiloge Sophie, c. 1496-1498, BnF
The myth begins with Io, a mortal princess loved by Zeus. To hide her from his jealous wife Hera, Zeus turns Io into a white heifer. Hera, seeing through the deception, demands the heifer and places her under the guard of Argus Panoptes, a giant with a hundred watchful eyes who never fully sleeps. Zeus then sends his son Mercury (Hermes) to rescue Io. Mercury approaches Argus disguised as a shepherd, plays music to lull the guardian’s eyes into sleep, and when Argus finally slumbers, Mercury beheads him and frees Io. Hera had Argus' hundred eyes preserved forever in a peacock's tail so as to immortalise her faithful watchman.
In an deep interpretation, Argus’s hundred eyes symbolize the rigid, over‑observing ego, constantly monitoring and fragmenting consciousness, while Mercury represents the mediator between conscious and unconscious, the trickster who uses subtle influence, speech, and music to transcend fixed patterns. Through this act, the psyche moves beyond narrow ego‑bound vigilance toward a more integrated state.
Carl Gustav Jung described Mercury’s deeper symbolic role in alchemy and psychology, portraying him as the living principle that links inner opposites and transforms consciousness. Jung wrote that Mercury is not only the low principle and the highest goal… but [is] the process and means of its realization… the mediator, servator and salvator.

Mercury is the Child of the Moon. The state of your intellect and skill (Mercury) is determined by the nature of your mind/consciousness (Moon). The Moon is Manas; sensory awareness and perception of the senses. Healing the Moon helps heal Mercury. The Moon exalts in Krittika hinting at the way to work the Moon. Perception is purified in the Fire of Spirit (Krittika). Let each of the senses become an Eye for Spirit. Then manifest the Word (Mercury) of your experience.

What I always found interesting about Eros is that he didn’t just carry arrows for sexual desire but extreme hatred as well. Eros possession of such extremes shows how love and hate come from the same source, sharing the same amount of intensity as the other.
