• Chitra natives can make good bosses, but only if the associated responsibility does not interfere with their creative inclinations or alone time– which they need for recharging themselves. If they do decide to become a leader, they will be well-liked by team members and management, alike.

The symbol for the brilliant Chitra nakshatra is a bright jewel or pearl. Chitra translates as “the beautiful one” or “pretty pictures” which reflects its ability to arrange things nicely with an artistic fashion. The deity is Tvashtar, the divine celestial architect. The creator of Astro*Carto*Graphy, Jim Lewis, had his natal Moon placed here. They are often successful artisan types. The shakti is “the ability to accumulate merit in this life”. Chitra has a rakshasa temperament with a primary motivation of kama or desire. The animal associated with this nakshatra is a female tiger which reveals the passionate, sensual nature experienced here. Mars is the ruling planet of this asterism. Chitra is represented by the beautiful, high magnitude, fixed star Spica at the beginning of sidereal Libra.

Citra's Devataa Viswakarmaa (Creator of the Universe also known by Prajapati — lord of the creatures) is the supreme creator or producer. A small portion of the Nakshatra is in Kanya (a sign of intellect) and the rest is in Tula (a sign of beauty and trade). In Kanya, in relation to a person it givesthe idea of one having knowledge or intellect in various subjects or a tactful person or an efficient surgeon. But in Tula, it gives an idea of an artist — in painting or in screen or an efficient perfumer. Kanyaa being an earthy sign the idea may denote one who is capable of good planning, an engineer. Viswakarmaa has special qualities of arranging things in order, things that are ready made, fashioned either in the making of garments or in an engineering factory and thus it connotes the idea of collecting, gathering, piling up of various materials presenting beautiful appearance. It is striking, excellent or distinguished.

Chitra Nakshatra Compatibility and Incompatibility Chitra Nakshatra, symbolic of feminine tiger is most compatible to its masculine counterpart Vishakha Nakshatra. Taking into account the idea of 'Veda Dosha' or the principles of mutual obstruction, Chitra Nakshatra happens to be incompatible to Mrigashira and Dhanista Nakshatras. Keeping in mind tigers' inimicality with cow, both Uttara Phalguni and Uttarabhadrapada nakshatras are incompatible to Chitra Nakshatra. Likewise, considering buffaloes' instinctive affinity with tiger, both Swati and its feminine counterpart Hasta Nakshatras are compatible to Chitra.
