Chitra Nakshatra: How Do Planets Shape Destiny?

Chitra Nakshatra, from 23°20′ Virgo to 6°40′ Libra, is a unique lunar mansion famed for Mars-driven energy, artistry and destiny-shaping potential. Ruled by Mars and under the celestial inspiration of Vishwakarma, Chitra’s birth chart is a roadmap shaped by planetary movements. Here, we expand on how the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu reshape destiny, skills and opportunities for those under this nakshatra.

Mars: What Makes Mars the Key Shaper for Chitra?

Mars imparts primordial energy, ambition, competitive drive and creative fire to Chitra-born people.
