Aries – As Krittika is part of Aries, Aries sign and its representations become important here. Aries is the 1st sign of zodiac belt, so it represents the things and energy of 1st house of horoscope like Self, Personality etc. Besides that, Aries is the sign of our individuality, our aggression, our actions, our competitive ability etc. Aries is ruled by Mars and it is consisted of 2 and half Nakshatras named Ashwini, Bharani and Krittika.

 

Taurus - As Krittika is also a part of Taurus, Taurus sign and its representations become important here. Taurus is the 2nd sign of zodiac belt, so it represents many things related with 2nd house of horoscope like, Hoarded Wealth, Assets, Savings, Finances, Luxuries and Liquid Money. All in all a sign related with luxuries and all the conveniences of life. Taurus is consisted of 2 and half Nakshatras, i.e. Krittika, Rohini and Mrigshira. Taurus' lord is Venus.

 

Mars – As Mars rules Aries, Mars’ position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Krittika/Aries.

 

Venus – As Venus rules Taurus, Venus’ position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Krittika/Taurus.

 

Sun – Likewise as Sun rules Krittika, Sun's position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Krittika.

 

Houses Involved – Also, we can’t afford to forget the houses involved as a planet can be ruling different houses and sitting in different house for every person as per ascendant and planet’s position. To know overall affect, we have to consider the houses involved as those areas of life are being impacted.

 

Interpretation of Venus in Krittika Nakshatra – Now, Venus is in Krittika Nakshatra which is ruled by Sun. Dignity-wise, Venus is in average position as Sun is Venus’s enemy but Venus is in neutral sign in Aries ruled by Mars and in own sign in Taurus section. As Krittika is nakshatra of nurturing and taking care of others without any selfish means, Venus here can show a person who may like to serve others without any selfish means. They can be working in schools, child care homes etc. They can also serve people through their creative pursuits. They can be a good critic or work in field of editing. They can seek perfection through their creativity. They can be equally good in dealing with financial matters. Venus can show better results in own sign Taurus than Aries ruled by Mars. Venus in Taurus can make them work in wealth or assets related field. They can also like weapons or martial arts due to mythological story of Krittika.

 

As Krittika is nakshatra of sharp weapons and cutting things, in relationship matters, they can suffer due to uttering unnecessary words which can hurt ego of partner and can bring ego clashes or aggression in relationship. So, they need to be careful to avoid ego clashes in relationship matters.

 

Role of Mars – Mars's position will become important in functioning and results of Venus in Krittika/Aries as Mars rules Aries.

 

Role of Venus – As we are trying to interpret Venus only, we need not to look for Venus’ position separately as Taurus lord.  

 

Role of Sun - As Sun rules Krittika, its position is also important to finally decide about the results of Venus in Krittika.

 

Other Factors – And of course, we need to consider conjunction, aspects, house lordship, house position and dashas etc to know the exact results of Venus in Krittika in either of the signs. So, we always need to take a holistic view of chart rather than just 1 planetary position.

 

Conclusion – So, this is how I see Venus in Krittika can work in a chart.
