What Chitra means in Vedic astrology

Chitra is the 14th of the 27 Nakshatra — the lunar mansions that divide the sidereal zodiac into finer bands than the twelve Rāsi. It spans Virgo 23°20′–Libra 6°40′, is ruled by Mars, and is presided over by the deity Tvashtar.

Its symbol is the bright jewel, and it belongs to the Rakshasa gana. Your Nakshatra is determined by the exact degree of the Moon at your birth, which makes it far more specific than your moon sign alone — and it is what drives your Vimshottari Dasha, the timing system at the heart of Jyotish prediction.
