Engineer and designer in one

Chitra Nakshatra

Chitra is ruled by Lord Tvastar. It also falls in the sign of Virgo and Libra. Lord Tvastar is known to be the celestial architect. He's also known as Vishwakarma, the maker of all things.

Lord Tvastar is behind the design, the colour, the patterns we see in everything from something as small as a leaf to complicated machinery. One of the symbols of this Nakshatra is a gemstone, a diamond which symbolises the creative prowess linked to this Nakshatra.

Designs created by the Chitra native are not only going to be flawless, they're also going to be the best. This symbol symbolises that Lord Tvastar is known to use an iron axe to sculpt his creations, which symbolises that creations contained in Chitra are technically very complicated and they require high levels of accuracy and precision. See, in the previous Nakshatra, I had mentioned that Hasta is strongly linked to creations. Creations in Hasta are going to be flawless. In Chitra however, craftsmanship is taken to the next level. Designs under Chitra are significantly more complicated, such as the design of complicated machinery, weapons for example.

Mars in Chitra

Mars in Chitra is going to lead to you being an engineer who also is a designer, someone who's technically very sound and also an artist. That's how I see it, and your creations are not only going to be flawless they're also going to be unmatched. Mars-Chitra belongs to architects, anyone working in the manufacturing sector working on designs. Earlier I gave you the examples of etchers and engravers, fabricators, carpenters, and construction workers; all of them belong to Mars-Chitra in my view.

One of the major downsides is that you are going to be excessively competitive, uncompromising in standards and therefore might be difficult to work with. Others may not have the same level of motivation as you are likely to have. Mars is known for risk-taking and entrepreneurship, so together a Mars-in-Chitra individual can be an inventor, innovator and even start a business driven by one's skills. The Shakti of Chitra is to gain honor in one's work.

That Shakti would be experienced by a Mars-in-Chitra native. What you create, you are likely to be known for your creation. Like the Eiffel Tower: it was built by an engineer, and he's now known for his creation. That is an example.

Like Alan Turing: he built a machine, and he's now known for that. Altogether, I find this to be a strong position. The main downside is going to the extreme and being uncompromising. Other than that, it's a strong position.
