New Delhi, India — 2026-10-25
A moon-sign (janma-rāśi) feed, and it says so. Verdicts follow Phaladeepika's transit table with vedha; timings are computed; the tradition layer is labeled and cited — never blended with the facts. No lucky colours, no percentages: no citable rule exists for them.

Traditional interpretation — Varāhamihira and the later compilations · Bṛhat Saṁhitā, the birth-star qualities chapter, for temperament; nakṣatra deities and lords per the classical Vimśottarī scheme; the fuller janma-nakṣatra phala as transmitted in the later compilations
Kṛttikā burns under Agni, the sacrificial fire, with the Sun as its Vimśottarī lord — a birth here opens the sequence in the Sun's period. The transmitted temperament is correspondingly bright and cutting: Varāhamihira's chapter gives a brilliant, sharp-appetited nature, and the tradition reads the star as a blade passed through flame — purifying, exacting, intolerant of the shoddy, capable of a severity that is meant as cleansing rather than cruelty.
The classical seat here is the one-line characterisation; the elaborate career-and-family phala found in modern accounts descends through later compilations, and this passage marks that boundary honestly. The texts condition everything on the chart: Kṛttikā spans Aries and Taurus, so the Moon's sign and pada matter unusually much, along with aspects and the opening Sun daśā — the computed facts say which conditions hold.
No latta doṣa falls on this star today.
Tradition, not fact
The tara cycle and the latta rules are TRADITION; the timings and positions are computed. The two are never blended.
Tara cycle: Kalaprakashika ch. XXXIII (the registered muhurta.tarabala three-cycle convention governs the Moon rows); latta: Phaladeepika XXVI.42-47 (study gochara-rashifal-2026-07-30.md). Extending the tara count to non-Moon grahas is MODERN PRACTICE with no classical chapter — those rows say practice: 'modern'.
Boundary times are root-found and residual-verified, never interpolated. Change the convention and these numbers change — which is why it is printed beside them.
