Sun Signs Everything Under The Sun!
Chitra Nakshatra: General
The Chitra Nakshatra, also known as the bright one, spans the cusp of Virgo and Libra. Unlike most of its sister Nakshatras, it is immortalized in a single star called Spica. One of the brightest stars in the night sky, Spica holds fast as the Virgin’s hip. The Vedic Jyotish clerics related this star to Vishwa Karma, the divine architect, who presides over this section of the sky.
Vishwa Karma had a daughter Sanja who was the embodiment of consciousness. The young woman was to be married to the Sun. Shortly after their divine union Sanja began to complain to her father. She wasn’t happy and found her husband’s brightness overwhelming.
With great concern for his daughter’s happiness, Vishwa Karma sought a solution to the problem. He used his cosmic powers to make the Sun smaller. As the remnants flew out into space, the planets of the solar system were created and our Sun took its present form.
Chitra governs the physical form of all that is in the Universe. The Nakshatra is associated with pressure and upheaval. This is illustrated through its symbol the jeweled serpent.
The serpent represents transformation and a gemstone can only manifest after rocks and stone have been subject to great pressure over extended periods. Also connected to creativity and Dharma (Universal Law) the Chitra birth star native sees the Truth in all situations and carries great amounts of wisdom.
The influence of Venus is negligent on Virgo’s side of Chitra. This impedes the native’s ability to realize certain aspects of its ruling planet Venus. Cultivation of Chitra’s energy is required to fully evolve the Nakshatra. Left unattended, the native will be challenged to realize qualities such as unconditional love, emotional stability, and integrity.

Family Portrait
Frequently lacking a father figure, the natives are good to their mothers. If they have siblings, they tend to take on more than their share of responsibility. Emotional and vulnerable, they may place themselves in exile and avoid their birth family for extended periods. Their wedded lives are stable, yet peace and satisfaction will evade the couple indefinitely.
