Work taken to the extreme

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.

Saturn in Chitra

Saturn in Chitra is going to lead to you being a master technician. Your creations are not only going to be flawless they are not only going to be an inspiration they would also be built masterfully. Creations that are built over a long time are Saturn Chitra linked. Creations that require patience, creations that test your determination.

Any long-term project linked to design and creativity is Saturn Chitra linked. You are likely to be an inspiration to people around you for your perseverance, for your creativity and for your technical prowess. Saturn now finds itself in the Nakshatra ruled by Mars. Saturn and Mars together represent our technical ability.

Everything you do you're going to be very methodical. You'd have a very exacting nature. You'll be a perfection seeker and more importantly you'll be willing to wait until perfection is achieved and perhaps that search for excellence might remain forever. Wanting to continue to improve would be part of your character.

Saturn is directly linked to ancient sciences. When we stumble upon those videos on YouTube of an ancient form of art passed on from one generation to the other and I see a lot of those videos come from Japan for example where shoe building for example which has been going on from generations and they build customized handmade shoes. That is a skill. That is creativity.

That is very Saturn Chitra like as you're combining the past, you're combining tradition with creativity. Despite your exacting nature Saturn in Chitra wouldn't make you as unpopular as Mars in Chitra. I think you'll find a way to find a balance between working with others and seeking perfection at an individual level. Saturn is known to be very service oriented and therefore is going to be easier to work with than a Mars like energy which is fiercely independent.

One of the main downsides would be that you might go to the extreme. This Nakshatra has the Guna of Tamasic and Saturn too is known for inertia. If you are working in something creative you have this aspiration you may find yourself so single-minded that you ignore your responsibilities around you. Taking your work too seriously and going to the extreme are a few downsides I see linked to this combination.

Saturn I believe does better in the sign of Libra than in the sign of Virgo.
