The artistic argument

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.

Mercury in Chitra

Mercury in Chitra can translate to a creative storyteller and I'd like to give you an example: Leonardo DiCaprio has Mercury in Chitra. Here you are using Mercury's ability creatively. You're putting together an argument artistically. This can also lead to a future in law where you draft terms of the contract, you explain things which have been put together carefully and secondly Mercury is known for its analytical ability.

Any design work that requires intelligence like a certain design feature on a mobile app that you really like. You just click a button and things happen. It's a simple one-click process. That in my view is the creation of a Mercury-in-Chitra individual.

Mercury belongs to the caste of a businessperson and therefore this combination can lead to you running a business linked to design. It can range from a graphic design firm to a digital marketing company or creating a personal brand where you have a blog or a YouTube channel and in some cases even acting like Leonardo DiCaprio. Mercury does very well in this Nakshatra. Mercury is excellent at analysing small details and Mars is known for technical prowess.

Together this combination can lead to an innovator of some kind. One of the downsides I see is you being very temperamental. Mercury and Mars do not share a good relationship. You might react similar to Moon's position in Chitra.

You might react impulsively, aggressively if the expectations that you had from a project that you're working on are unmet. You'll have very high standards but if those standards are unmet you're likely to be annoyed easily and that's something you need to overcome. The other major downside I see is restlessness. Every creative project requires patience particularly if the design is highly complicated and the expectation is that you achieve high standards that patience might be missing.

Mercury-Chitra has several qualities but it also has a few downsides that's my view.
