When we come to Chitra Nakshetra, it falls half in the sign of work, half in the sign of Libra.
So it's kind of a split personality if you want to call it that.
But Chitra Nakshetra, the symbol is everything in Chitra.
Chitra Nakshetra symbol is a brilliant gem, like a diamond of sorts, right? Like a brilliant gem.
And it is here to create something, it is highly creative Nakshetra in nature, right?
But it is ruled by half in Mercury, half in Venus.
So you might say it's a balance between Mercury and Venus type Nakshetra.
Let's roll the intro and get into it.
So right there is the Chitra Nakshetra, the 14th. Let's begin from the top.
Temperament is Rakshasa, which means it wants to ground things at a material level, not so much thinking about higher stuff.
It's not inclined to work even on the human plane. So it is very much about things.
Proper materialism is Rakshasa.
Temperament is Rakshasa.
Varna or the propensity is of a servant class, which means it wants to work.
Chitra wants to slog, work it out.
It is active.
So by default, Chitra will not know when to rest. It needs to learn to rest also.
It's a very active Nakshetra.
The drive is Sthiti, which means it wants to preserve something, whatever that something is.
So it has two lords, because it is split between Virgo and Libra.
The Lord in Virgo is very Vaishya like. So it's about trade and commerce, Mercury.
The Lord in Libra becomes Venus, which is very Brahmana like or which is intent upon knowledge and wisdom.
Venus is industrial knowledge and wisdom predominantly about sensual brilliance, about aesthetics, about finer things of life,
changing things by the way of finer things of life, the beautiful things of life.
That aspect in us as humans, which can appreciate beauty, think about this.
Only humans as animals appreciate beauty in this earth.
There's no other animal which does this. This is an aspect of the creator, which we all have.
Let us see now the life lesson. Sensual brilliance needs truth or as is an accuracy to shine.
Let's go through that again.
Life lesson of Chitra Nakshetra is sensual brilliance needs truth to shine.
Chitra Nakshetra has the brilliance, but it needs the duals to speak of truth,
which means as is. Don't make up your stuff for what you want the truth to be.
It's what life lesson for Chitra people is.
Don't have your versions of truth. See things as they are, as is.
As is available, as is observable. As is, truth is very important.
Because these people take a make up their own stuff and call it truth.
Suchitra is looking for the truth which is as is, as well as it needs to be accurate, the Virgo part of it.
Virgo loves accuracy of things.
Hastain, Trafalguni mainly, it loves accuracy.
Now you have learned the accuracy from Virgo. You need to bring it forward in Chitra.
It's an acting Nakshetra. It wants to preserve that.
What is it trying to preserve? It is trying to preserve the truth
and make it shine by the sensual brilliance. It has sensual brilliance built in.
If you are ascendant, it's in Chitra. The moon is in Chitra.
You might even be very good looking, intent upon brilliance.
Sensual brilliance.
So in the deep and archetype, what happens to this particular Nakshetra?
Where would it shine?
Well, it has two lords. So we need to look at two parts here, really speaking, depending upon which path it sits in.
In Virgo, it would become all about work.
It's a servant class Nakshetra. So it's all about work.
Third angle in the detenture, 6 to 9 degrees Yama.
Strong sense of discipline, strong sense of work, strong sense of ethics and morality.
That might do well for Chitra because it needs some grounding. It is very active Nakshetra.
Also, it might do well in the 5th to 15 degrees communication skills being mercury.
Also, it might do well in the 7th angle, 18 to 21 degrees in the detent chart, which is financially astute and commercial mind.
Because it falls also in Libra, it might do well in the Libra side of it.
It might do well in the Ishana angle and the Brahma angle also.
Which is, Ishana angle is 8 to 8 angle of 21 to 24 degrees in your detent chart.
Ability to find deeper purpose and meanings.
The 9th angle there being 27 to 24 to 27.
The Brahma angle is intellectual capability, innovative thinking and originality. Why?
This is the part of Chitra which falls in Libra, which is ruled by Venus, which is a Brahmana.
The Brahmana working as a servant class. Think about that.
The Vedic Astrology gives you a rich array, rich variety of combos where nobody is really a Shatriya, nobody is really a Shudra, nobody is really a Brahmana.
It's all a mix, it's all a mishmash of energies, which tell you or which give you hints about where you can shine in.
That's the way Vedic Astrology is. I'm just putting it out there the way it is told.
In the next one, let us talk about the part of Libra, Swati Nakshatra, the 15th Nakshatra.
In the meantime, take care, be safe, share this video with others. If you know someone who has dominant Chitra, let them benefit from it.
Take care, be safe.
