#Chitra  #ChitraNakshatra

Sanskrit Name:  चित्रा (Chitra). Some meanings of Chitra are “wonderful” and “variegated,” indicating charisma, versatility, and physical beauty.

Nakshatra Group:  Monstrous. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Chitra is a monstrous nakshatra. People in this group are generally intuitive, strong-willed, and assertive. They may be prone to anger and violence.

Zodiac Signs:  Virgo (1st and 2nd quarter) and Libra (3rd and 4th quarter). Virgos are intelligent, practical, capable problem solvers who like to help others with their abilities — however, they can be critical of both themselves and others. Libra natives possess excellent taste and good judgement. They are friendly, learned, and dignified, but may be prone to arrogance.

Power:  To gain merit. In the Vedic understanding, merit or good fortune is achieved through acts of virtue and piety.

Resonant Syllables:  In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Chitra are Pay (पे), Po (पो), Ra (रा), and Ree (री). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

• The yoni animal of Chitra is the female tiger.
• If you study female tiger you would know a lot of attributes about Chitra nakshatra.
• The first thing we learn about this beautiful female tiger is that she hunts around 3:30—4:00 am in the morning, when it is completely quiet yet certain animals are starting to wake up.
• A Chitra native will always wake up during this time or at least become aware that they were asleep and now they are up, not necessarily do something specific but some people may love having midnight snack due to this quality.
• Tiger also hunt at night due to their retinal adaptation to darkness, they can see extremely clearly in the dark, so a tiger, whether male or female can see quite well in the dark.
• Chitra natives can easily adapt to darkness much quicker and faster than others especially when Sun or Moon are in this nakshatra because these are the luminaries.
• A tiger is an extremely careful animal and is so quiet when hunting that you wouldn’t know what hit you.
• She would suddenly launch at you with an attack.
• Chitra natives are also very quiet but when they are pushed constantly they will suddenly lunge and attack you, and they don’t just attack to show, they will attack to cause some harm so you know next time not to provoke them.
• A tiger has bangle patches all around their body, which is to discourage predators, and to show that they are present, and not to be messed with.
• A female tiger has to eat 50% more than her normal appetite to sustain the life inside her.
• No matter how much they ate they weren’t full. Just like mama bear, a mother tigress will put all her attention into attending to their cubs because they can fall prey to other animals.
• You should observe a Chitra female with a newborn, they will be far more protective and aggressive with people wanting to hold and play with their babies.
• They become extra paranoid with things in the house that can hurt their child.
• Tvastar/Vishwakarma is the celestial architect, who designed the entire universe.
• He is invoked for desiring offspring.
• Tvastar created the illusion, Maya, which sustains this world.
• He also created divine weapons for devas, such as Vajra for Indra, chalice for Soma, Sudarshan chakra for Vishnu, trishul for Shiva, and different lokas as well.
• He is the father of Viswarupa or Trishira (the 3 headed Asura), who was killed by Indra, and in vengeance Tvastar created Vritra the great dragon.
• Tvastr was also the father of Sanjana, who is the wife of Surya, and mother of Yama and Yami (the first mortals).
• The animal of this nakshatra is tiger. The Tiger riding goddess Durga is the one who is supposed to have defeated the demon Mahishasur.
• Swami Ayyappa, who was born from Mohini avatar of Vishnu & Lord Shiva, was found in Pamba forest, and adopted by the king Raja Rajashekhara but his wife didn’t want Manikandan (Ayyappa) to inherit the throne, and asked him to get tigress milk.
• Lord Manikandan went into the forest and returned riding a tigress followed by a pack of her cubs.
• He eventually became the main deity of the Sabarimala temple.
• The word Chitra means a picture, whether it’s a drawn picture or taken from a camera.
• One of the first thing we learn from the mythology is that Chitra natives are excellent architects, not just who build buildings, but are excellent at constructing a blueprint of any plan or project.
• They are very good at synthesizing a complicated problem into a simple yet beautiful solution.
• Tavstar created Maya, the illusion hence; Chitra natives can be excellent illusionists or magicians.
• Being an architect means you are great at observing monuments and what’s needed for construction.
• Chitra natives always have to deal with some kind of a weapon in their life like gun, knife or some kind of a tool that helps them winning some war.
• They will construct some weapon for a higher authority as well.
• Chitra natives will also have lots of issues with their bosses and authorities as Tavstar had a rough relation with Indra.
• Chitra is also connected with Chitragupta (celestial accountant), the one who keeps accounts and records of all the souls.
• Chitra natives love keeping accounts of books like an accountant or they tend not to forget what happened to them or what you did to them, and keep a strict account of everything so each event can have its proper payback time.
• The ability to keep books or accounts can also translate into having a photographic memory, where you never forget the right and the wrong.
• Individuals with ascendant lord, Mercury, Jupiter, or Moon in this nakshatra may have a photographic memory.
• Chitra natives have a strong theme with stepmothers.
• Recall the story of the queen of Raja Rajashekhara, who never wanted someone else’s child to take on the kingdom and try to secretly kill by giving him a task she knew he would fail and would die.
• However, the boy defying all the odds not only bought the milk but also rode on the tigress, which provided the milk.
• This shows never challenge a Chitra individual as they will always win and win big, but can be cheated by their mother/stepmother for the benefit of their siblings.
• Chitra people also love sculpting their body so they can become photogenic when this nakshatra is either placed in the ascendant or with Mars.
• Sculpting body doesn’t mean bodybuilding, it can also convert into yoga so body can be aligned and sculptured to become a chariot for the mind in the proper direction.
• Mars is the ruler of this nakshatra and is about competitive spirit, athletics, competition and fighting a good fight.
• Mars also rules the 8 th house from Virgo, where Chitra starts, and this has been observed multiple times that Chitra native in Virgo would love doing magic, rituals and diving into occult without fear.
