An unfinished product, imagined as done

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.

Rahu in Chitra

Rahu in Chitra can lead to you having ideas which are unconventional, very futuristic. Your creations can be unlike anything seen before but you may delude yourself into thinking that my creation, my design is going to change the world. Furthermore you may also delude yourself into thinking your designs, your creations meet high standards. You may fail to critically analyse in an unbiased way your own creations.

But once that delusion goes away and you seek proper guidance your creations can be as you imagine them to be never seen before. When questioned a Rahu-in-Chitra individual is likely to express one's demonic side and in that case you could fall prey to getting back at people or responding aggressively, particularly the ones who are questioning your designs, your creations. Rahu-in-Chitra individual can be very sensitive to criticism. Acting on impulse will also be seen in your character, something that you've seen recently that has inspired your creative juices.

Immediately you'll start acting on that impulse, you'll start imagining something. Perhaps the intricacies that are required in design work, you may not go through those intricacies, you may bypass a few steps and you may start to imagine an end product which is unfinished or non-functional. These are a few downsides that I see to this position. I don't find Rahu Chitra to be a very strong position, particularly due to also the difficult relationship Rahu shares with the Nakshatra ruler Mars.

If you have Rahu in Chitra and are about to enter Rahu Dasha, make sure whatever you are going after, you give it time, you're willing to work, make decisions thoughtfully, that's my advice.
