"Agni
desired, "May I be the eater of food for the Gods." One who offers
to Agni and Krittika the appropriate offering becomes an eater of food for
mortals.
Agni as fire both cooks and digests food. Krittika provides nourishment
and the power to digest it as well. Those born under it like to provide for
others in this way."

Krittika lagna, for
females:
"... a thin and quite tall woman.
One with a weak constitution and rather given to chronic ailments:
particularly coughs, colds and asthma. A tendency to be morbid and depressed
and yet easily excited as the result of a very nervous temperament.
She will no doubt live by herself away
from her family, as she prefers to indulge her own whims and wishes and will
brook no interference with her desires. She has a very jealous disposition
and is difficult to please."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu
Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 91.

Krittika lagna, for
males:
" A proud, dignified, and honorable
person - an executive type. He is very ambitious and eager for power and has
the ability to achieve his desires.
He has an innate sense of the importance
of his destiny. He expects everything to come to him as his due and usually
gets what he sets out to obtain."
