 Male Natives born under Chitra Nakshatra
Physical features: He has a lean body. He can be recognized or identified even from a crowd
of hundreds of people through his magnificent dealings and expressions.
Character and general events: He is very very intelligent and peace loving. He will not
hesitate to go to any extreme for the sake of selfish benefits. There is a hidden inheren
Godly gift for this Nakshatra born i.e., the ideas or opinions or advice expressed by him would
initially appear to be a sheer nonsense but later on the same idea or opinion or advice will
only prevail upon. There is also an inherent gift of intuition. Hence he is the type of person
who is very much fit for the Astrological profession where intuition is very much needed.
In some cases, it is also noticed that the native quite often see a lot of dreams which are
actually becoming true. This would indirectly indicate that a divine power is automatically
installed in the brain of Chitra born.
He is the type of person who is not bothered about the sentiments of others nor is he selfish
to others. But in spite of this adamant attitude his dealings with the poorer section of the
society will be very cordial and full of kindness. Quite often he is mistaken by others that he is
very rude and stingy. He has a tendency of giving reply on any matter without forethought and
he wakesup at the eleventh hour and try to rectify his utterances when it is too late.
He has to confront his enemies at every step but he is capable of escaping any conspiracy.
He has soft corner for the down trodden people and he devotes his time and energy for the
uplift of this section of the society. But one of the hidden factors is that initially his approach to
the down trodden will be without any selfish motive, which later on culminates into selfish
motive.
Education, sources of earnings / profession: Obstacles in the life is not a hurdle for the
advancement for him. He can overtake all these hurdles with his courage and hard work. He
will not be leading a comfortable life up to the age of 32 years. Period between 33 years and
54 years of age will be his golden period.
One of the redeeming features of Chitra born is that he gets help and reward from
unexpected quarters without putting much efforts. From several horoscopes examined by me,
it is seen that the age of 22, 27, 30, 36, 39, 43 and 48 years of age will be very bad in all
respect. The native may earn as a sculptor or mechanic or as a factory employee or the
native will be in the political arena or the native may be be an engineer or a textile
technologist.
Family life: While on the one hand he sincerely loves his co-borns, and parents, on the other
hand he suspects the activities of the co-borns and parents. Chitra born cannot, in most of the
cases enjoy the benefit, love and affection from his father. It is also noticed that the father of
the native leads a separated life. In any case, he has a life away from his father. One of the
points noticed is that his father in spite of separation from the native have some distinct
identity of his own i.e., will be famous or known in a particular field. He is more attached to his
mother and enjoy benefits from the maternal side.
There is a saying that the Chitra born cannot stay in the house where he is born. Either the
native will leave the house and settle down somewhere else or the house he is born itself will
be sold or destroyed. In other words, he will be settling down in an unknown and distant place
away from his native house.
Normally he cannot enjoy a happy married life. When we say a happy married life, while the
marriage will be stable the relationship between the couples will not be cordial leading to
frequent friction on small matters. He has to shoulder lot of responsibilities and face lot of
criticisms throughout his life.
Health: Inflammation of kidney and bladder, brain fever, diseases connected with worms.
Abdominal tumors or appendicitis also have been noticed.
Female Natives born under Chitra Nakshatra
Females born in this Nakshatra will also equally enjoy the same results mentioned above for
the male natives, except that the females are more subjected to the hands of unlucky fate.
Physical features: She has a beautiful envious body. She will be tall with equally matched
fleshy body. While she has natural long hair, she in the modern world will hhave a cut hair.
Character and general events: Her eagerness for excess of freedom and unrespectable
behavior makes problems still complicated. She is proud for no merits. A veracious and sinful,
laziness. She will have very few friends. Commits sinful deeds.
Education, sources of earnings / profession: She will have her education in science subjects.
She may be a nurse or a model or a film actress. If planets are not well or moderately placed,
she may be employed in agricultural field.
Family life: Unless the individual horoscope of a female native is compared properly there is
likelihood of death of the partner, divorce or complete absence of pleasure from the husband.
In some cases, childlessness is also noticed.
Compatibility and Incompatibility : Chitra Nakshatra, symbolic of feminine tiger is most
compatible to its masculine counterpart Visakha Nakshatra. Taking into account the idea of
‘Veda Dosha‘ or the principles of mutual obstruction, Chitra Nakshatra happens to be
incompatible to Mrigasira and Dhanista Nakshatras. Keeping in mind tigers’ inimicality with
cow, both Uttara Phalguni and Uttarabhadrapada nakshatras are incompatible to Chitra
Nakshatra. Likewise, considering buffaloes’ instinctive affinity with tiger, both Swati and its
feminine counterpart Hasta Nakshatras are compatible.
Famous Chitras: Richard Chamberlain, Wilt Chamberlain, George Bush, Dwight Eisenhower,
Marie Antoinette, Sidney Poitier
