Nakshatra
Chitra (चित्रा)
Ruling planet Mars · Deity Vishvakarma · Symbol Bright jewel
Personality & Traits
Natives born under Chitra (चित्रा) carry the energetic signature of beautiful, designing, magnetic. Ruled by Mars and presided over by Vishvakarma, they tend to embody the symbolism of the bright jewel — translating that archetype into daily life through choices, relationships and inner motivation.
Career Guidance
Chitra natives often thrive when their work aligns with Mars's natural domain. Roles that channel the qualities of beautiful, designing, magnetic — whether creative, analytical, leadership or service oriented — bring fulfilment. A Vedic chart analysis can pinpoint exactly which sectors strengthen your career yoga.
Compatibility
For marriage compatibility (Kundli Milan), Chitra pairs well with nakshatras that share complementary planetary rulerships and Nadi groups. Always confirm with a full chart match before finalising any alliance — a single nakshatra is never the whole story.
Remedies & Practice
To harmonise the energies of Chitra, devotion to Vishvakarma, regular mantra practice, and respecting the ritual hours of the ruling planet Mars are recommended. Specific remedies depend on the placement of your Moon and the strength of Mars in your chart — verified by a Vedic astrologer.
