Good morning ladies and gentlemen, let's discuss
the 14th nakshatra of Chitra and the four Padas
and its secrets. This is the second of the Mars
rule nakshatras which transitions from the sign
of Virgo going into Libra. So it's a transitioning
nakshatra as all Mars nakshatras are going from
Earth sign to Air sign. Mrikshira was about going
from Gemini to Taurus, this one is about going
from Virgo to Libra, Dhanishta, the last one
of the Mars roll will be going from Capricorn
to Aquarius. Chitra is a highly creative sign.
You need to be an opportunist. Creation of physical
beauty, it is really ruled by Vishwakarma, who
is the architect, the celestial architect. So
it's all about creativity here in Chitra. Learning
and rising through humiliation, unfortunately.
That's what planets in Chitranakshatra go through.
What is the goal of this? Creation of new things,
bringing new ideas to fruition. Planets sitting
here will go through initial humiliation as no
one around them is able to understand their visualization.
Vishwa Karma, the architect, is a celestial architect.
That's the deity. The secrets of the nakshatras
lies within the stories of the deities ruling
each nakshatra, if you want to research that.
Transformative capacity of energy, here the energy
transforms because it is going into Libra now,
going into the collective from personal. It can
be in the form of a skill, a connection, internal
power put to use. Mars needs to put something
to use. All Mars nakshatras are like that. In
Marikshira, it was about curiosity. In Chitra,
it's about creativity. It's not about getting
work done, it's about perfection here. Perfection
requires team effort which these people may understand
later in life. First it will be about individual,
then it will be about creating with people. That
seems to be the Chitra nakshatra theme. and principle.
Sensual brilliance needs truth as is to shine,
is there life lesson? Let us see the Padaas now
briefly and then we shall go into detail. First
Padaa is Virgo going into Leo. So there is a
2 -12 relationship right there, gain and loss.
These people are stingy people to the max. They
will not share resources. Leo is 12th to Virgo.
You have resources but you won't share it. Self
-benefit. Selfish rather than selfless. These
are the kings of being selfish. They should refrain
from doing immoral activities. Why? Leo is the
sign of ethical moral compass, the sign of the
Sun. Sun is all about ethics. Here there is a
loss of ethics because Navamsa is a Leo sign
and then going to Virgo. in the natal. Remember
the relationship between Natal and Navamsa I
spoke of in the introduction. So cultivate a
good moral standard, okay? Don't have this kind
of an approach is the lesson here in the first
Pada. Pada number two, going from Natal Virgo
to Virgo, so it's the same sign. This is the
highest exaltation of Virgo, so think 7th house.
Opposite to Virgo is Pisces. These people can
be Casanovas. They will move from one relationship
to another. Seventh is Pisces. Loss of relationships
to another. After spending some time in each
one of them. So, relationship master. Okay? Having
tons of affairs. Unable to focus on one thing
at a time. Pisces is loss of focus. Remember
I spoke of in the earlier ones also, wherever
there is exaltation from Natal to Navamsa, it
has issues of the seventh house, seventh place
from that sign. In this case, it's Pisces. String
of incomplete tasks, Virgo to Virgo, will have
the required opportunity, wealth partner, but
will try to get more than they can chew. Becomes
a workaholic in one sense but a lot of loss of
relationships. Remember 12th sign of Pisces from
Virgo is also the bedroom life. So going and
having lots of affairs is distracting them. Take
care of this. The third Pada in Chitra is Libra
to Libra, the highest exaltation of Libra. These
people can become business people. especially
if Mercury is placed here or Venus is placed
here is very good. Successful businessmen because
Libra, Venus and Navamsa can get you a lot of
good wealth. Business people, they know how to
interact with other people and they will be of
extrovert nature. Libra is all focused on the
other. They could be obsessed with profits and
material desires. Spouse can be of very independent
nature. Why are we talking spouse here? Because
it's Libra to Libra, so Aries is opposite to
this. Aries is an independent sign. Spouse can
do as he or she pleases. Aries is in the seventh.
Here the person could get benefit by donating
resources to people in need and require help
once again. Then lessons and the secrets of nakshatra
pada. seem to be centered around helping others,
working with the collective and not so much selfishness.
That will resolve most of your karma, folks.
4th Pada, Libra going into Scorpio, once again
a 2 -12 relationship there. So, Libra in the
needle, Navamsa Scorpio, lazy, untitled people,
Libra 12th to Scorpio. Not working. Distractions
of opposite sex. Libra in the natal. Wasting
money on unnecessary things. Focused on unearned
wealth because there is Scorpio in Navamsa. Scorpio
in Navamsa will get focused on other people's
wealth. Takes bribes. Unearned money. And earn
wealth through proper principles. That's a life
lesson. Do not waste money on useless things.
You are wasting Libra here, wasting wealth, wasting
your efforts. Spend only on what is needed, especially
regarding your food habits. Why food habits?
Scorpio is second to Libra. Therefore, spending,
therefore earning, therefore unearned wealth,
therefore food, all the aspects of the second
house or torus playing here. If you find something
here interesting which is going on in your chart
with planets and points in Chitra, do leave a
comment. We can interest that. If you want a
reading, get in touch with me. Now let us get
into the detailed podcast. Share and enjoy. Introduction,
Chitra, the celestial architect of form and fascination.
Chitra nakshatra spans from 23 degree 20 Virgo
to 640 Libra, ruled by Mars and symbolized by
the Shining Jewel. It represents charisma, creativity,
and the ability to shape both physical and energetic
realities. Chitra is where beauty is crafted,
not just for display, but for deeper cosmic alignment.
With its connection to Vishwakarma, the divine
architect, this nakshatra holds within it the
karmic blueprint of building identity, relationships,
wealth and values. But the light of Chitra can
dazzle or deceive. The Virgo side refines structure
through logic and analysis, while the Libra side
craves pleasure, approval and aesthetic harmony.
This split creates a complex karmic tension between
focus and distraction, craftsmanship and indulgence,
discipline and self -sabotage. Each pada of Chitra
takes on a different Navamsa lens, Leo, Virgo,
Libra and Scorpio, shifting how the inner architecture
of karma expresses itself through outer desires
and behaviors. Let's explore the nature of each
pada before we look at planetary effects. Chitra
Pada 1 Virgo 23 Dighi 20 to 26 Gri 40. Navamsa
sign, Leo Dharma Pada, elemental shift, earth
to fire. Motivation, Dharma, to express leadership
and control through one's created value. Inner
outer karma blueprint, outwardly precise, productive,
and self -improving Virgo Rashi, inwardly self
-focused, proud, and entitled, Leo Navamsa. This
Pada creates the illusion of a benevolent king,
but is often stingy, controlling, or self -benefiting.
Despite Virgo's service -oriented nature, the
Leo influence tempts the native to protect their
resources, judge others, and act from pride.
There is a karmic disconnect between the power
they hold and the generosity they must learn.
Karmic theme. Selfish leadership, moral bypassing,
refusal to share. Growth path, build with integrity,
lead by giving, not withholding. Chitrapada II,
Virgo 2640 -39. Navamsa sign, Virgo -Artha elemental
shift, earth to earth. Motivation, Artha to accumulate,
refine, and maintain value through disciplined
effort. Inner -outer karma blueprint, outwardly
meticulous, service -driven, and practical, Virgo
Rashi. Inwardly restless, perfectionist, and
scattered, Virgo Navamsa. This is the Pada of
the Casanova architect. Skilled, well -positioned,
yet unable to focus. Multiple relationships or
business pursuits lead to incomplete tasks and
broken promises. There's always another project,
another partner, another opportunity, leading
to burnout and karmic imbalance. Karmic theme,
desire for variety overrides depth. Overextension
leads to failure. Growth path, focus on what
is already available. Finish what is started.
Chitrapada 3, Libra Deity 3D 320. These natives
are magnetic and persuasive, excellent in business
or social settings, but tend to become obsessed
with profits, material pleasures, or validation.
Spouses may be independent or disconnected, reflecting
their own karmic neglect. Charity and giving
must replace excessive accumulation. Karmic theme,
greed in relationships and resources, neglect
of emotional reciprocity. Growth path, share
wealth. See people not as opportunities, but
as souls. Chitrapada 4, Libri 20, Navamsa sign,
Scorpio Moksha Pada. Elemental shift, air to
water. Motivation, Moksha. to seek liberation
from worldly bondage through intensity and transformation.
Inner Outer Karma Blueprint, Outwardly Polished,
Attractive and Balanced, Liberasi, Inwardly Secretive,
Desire Bound and Indulgent, Scorpio Navamsa.
This Pada carries the most karmic heaviness of
all Chitra Padas. There is potential for laziness,
entitled behavior, and emotional distractions
that drain energy and corrupt purpose. Wealth
may come through questionable means, e .g. bribes,
manipulation, and food or sex may become addictive
outlets. Growth, lead with heart, not ego. Create
systems of generosity. Pata Tuvergo, seeks improvement
through detail and repetition. Trap, over commitment,
lack of focus. Growth, finish before beginning
anew. Value what you have. Pata 3 Libra, seeks
social success, partnership, elegance. Trap,
profit, obsession, emotional neglect. Growth,
serve others, not self image. Share what you
build. Pata 4. seeks liberation through desire
and intensity. Bribery, overindulgence, karmic
collapse, growth, earn cleanly, live simply,
transform excess into wisdom. Closing thought.
In Chitra, your creations carry your karma. The
hands that build temples can also build illusions.
Chitra gives beauty, charisma, and potential,
but it tests whether we use those gifts to elevate
or entangle. Will you decorate your life with
distractions or design something that outlives
you? The answers lie in your actions, brick by
brick, breath by breath. Next in the series,
Swati Nakshatra, The Wanderer's Wind, where independence
must meet surrender and freedom is found through
flow. Chitra Nakshatra Pada, with examples of
planets, exploring how planetary placement shapes
karma, expression, and evolution across the four
patas. Chitra Pada 1, Leo Navamsa, Virgo 23320
-26 -040, Outer Self Rashi, Discerning, perfection
-driven, clever Virgo. Inner self, Navamsa. Proud,
leadership -seeking, attention -focused, Leo.
Motivation, darn to shine through accomplishment,
but tempted by ego. Examples, son in padawan.
Outwardly appears humble and service -oriented,
but internally desires recognition, status, or
applause. Result, strong leadership potential
in aesthetics or education. Karma unfolds when
selfish pride overshadows true contribution.
Venus in Padawan. Charismatic and refined with
a strong sense of beauty, but inwardly seeks
validation or uses charm for personal advantage.
Result successful in fashion, film, or luxury
trades. Karmic growth comes from using allure
to uplift rather than manipulate. Mars in Padawan.
Skilled builder, designer, or strategist. Inner
drive is to dominate or win through creation.
Result. Can rise fast, but risks cutting corners
or hoarding resources. True growth comes from
building for the collective, not just personal
empire. Chitrapada II, Virgo Navamsa. Virgo 26,
340 to 30 geese. Outer self, meticulous, observant,
self -improving. Inner self, nervous, restless,
highly self -critical. Motivation, Artha to master
one's field and maintain systems. Examples, Mercury
and Pada II, brilliant communicator and detail
analyst. inwardly overthinks and overcommits,
leading to exhaustion. Result can be a successful
writer, editor, or designer, but must avoid trying
to do everything at once. Karma lies in learning
to prioritize and finish. Moon in Pada 2, emotionally
tied to perfection, tends to feel unfulfilled
despite having enough. Result, excellent in healing
or caregiving, but emotional anxiety arises from
scattered focus. Evolution comes through simplifying
and centering. Rahu in Pada 2. Desires endless
improvement, relationships, or ventures, often
more than one at a time. Result. Can gain wealth
or popularity through variety, but karma manifests
in burnout, failed promises, or unfinished karma
threads. Chitra Pada 3. Libra Navamsa. Libra
0 -Gri -0 -2 -3 -D -20. Outer Self. Attractive,
refined, charming Libra. Inner Self. Socially
strategic, idealistic, yet emotionally neutral.
Motivation. Comma, to connect and succeed in
relational or business environments. Examples,
Venus in Pada 3, artistic, graceful, and persuasive,
seeks love, admiration, or luxury. Result, can
thrive in creative or social professions, but
karma builds when aesthetic is valued over emotional
sincerity. Jupiter in Pada 3, morally flexible
when it serves social elevation, may preach values
not yet embodied. Result, gains recognition in
consulting or teaching, but must embody integrity,
not just speak of it. Mercury in Pada 3, slick
communicator and excellent negotiator, may use
wit to manipulate deals or relationships, result
success in PR, law, or politics. Karma tests
come when empathy is sacrificed for results.
Chitra Pada 4, Scorpio Navamsa, Libra 3D20 -640,
Outer Self, Graceful, Balanced, Inner self, emotionally
intense, secretive, desire -ridden. Motivation,
moksha, to transform the ego through emotional
trial. Examples, moon in Pada 4, outwardly poised,
inwardly turbulent, easily distracted by emotional
or romantic impulses. Result, may suffer karmic
entanglements due to unwise emotional or sexual
decisions. Growth comes from mastering internal
waves. Ketu in Pada 4, feels karmically detached
from relationships despite craving them. Wealth
may come mysteriously, but purpose remains unclear.
Result? Spiritual evolution, if indulgences are
dropped, must learn emotional responsibility.
Mars and Potiphar, strong sexual energy and ambition,
may pursue wealth or relationships through manipulation.
Result? Success through intensity, but downfall
if control and secrecy override service or clarity.
Karma burns fast and hard here. Chitrapada summary,
four design blueprints of desire and discipline.
Leo seeks pride in what is built. Trap hoarding
moral blindness, selfish ambition. Growth, share
your creations with humility and purpose. Pada
two, seeks mastery and improvement. Trap scattered
tasks, obsessive perfection. Growth, value presence
and completion over expansion. Pada three, Libra.
seeks connection and admiration, traps shallow
interactions, transactional bonds, build honest
partnerships, give without calculation. Padafore
Scorpio seeks emotional intensity and hidden
fulfillment, laziness, emotional chaos, indulgent
waste, transform habits through disciplined emotional
awareness. Conclusion. In Chitra, the architect
is also the student of their own design. Your
karma is your creation. What you shape will either
sustain or sink you. Chitra grants the power
to build worlds, but only the spiritually mature
know what not to build. Are your designs serving
the soul or simply feeding the ego? The jewel
of Chitra shines brightest when it reflects integrity,
not just brilliance.
