Chitra

Who is Chitra?
AN ARTISTIC AND MILITARISTIC PERFECTIONIST

You are here to dynamically recreate the divine workings of the universe. You are an energetic, active and competitive individual who strives to be the top in your field. You are spontaneous and focused, and have the intelligence and courage to seize opportunities. You are likable and original, have a refined aesthetic, and possess sophisticated presence and striking charm. Just like the symbol, the shining gem, you are very attractive and you love to polish yourself and be noticed. You are also someone who knows how to appear professional, cordial and elegant. You are a great conversationalist with a cheerful personality and have a strong sense of harmony and beauty, which makes you popular among your friends or co-workers. Like the presiding deity, Tvashtar, the celestial architect, you have the ability to create and project your ideal self-image on others, and you do it seamlessly. You love to figure out the functioning of all the small parts, and how they come together, which makes you a great scientist or artist with a love for perfection. You love creating and when your creative juice flows, there is no stopping you; you become intensely obsessed with making things beautiful and perfect, into true art. Chitra is ruled by Mars and lies in Virgo and Libra, ruled by Mercury and Venus respectively. You are a driven, productive and creative leader, but can be too aggressive in your approach. You know how to keep your image, but you are ashamed of imperfection, not showing your vulnerable self to anyone. You can be too involved in your own development and become egotistical and childish. You could also jump into something without thinking because of your restless and excitable nature, especially in your relationships. Use your discriminative mind, and let the divine creativity take you over!

When the Moon is in Chitra:
Chitra is represented by a gem, signifying its brilliant nature and love for beauty. The presiding deity is Tvashtar, often referred to as Vishvakarma, the celestial architect, who uses illusion to produce wonders of the world. This is a great time to be creative and make yourself or your environment more sophisticated: start exercising; go get a haircut; go to a spa; study art; purchase a new wardrobe and jewelry or wear them for the first time: design or decorate your home; start gardening etc. It is also a great time to express yourself artistically: give speeches or performances; write a story or a script especially of a romantic nature; dress up and attend a concert, a play or an art show etc. Chitra is ruled by Mars, and it lies over Virgo and Libra, ruled by Mercury and Venus respectively. This combination makes Chitra suitable for dealing with anything mechanical: install a new heating or air conditioning system in your home; fix your house; make technical improvements to your office etc. The blend of Mars, Venus and Mercury makes it an appropriate time to communicate with the opposite sex.

 Remedy /Sacred Energy : Kuruviththurai Sri Chittira Ratha Vallabha Perumal Temple

The sacred energy vortex that resonates with Chitra star is located in Kuruviththurai near Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India. Those born under Chitra star will benefit by visiting this temple at least once to make offerings and prayers. This temple is the abode of Lord Vishnu who revealed himself as Sri Chittira Ratha Vallabha Perumal. In addition, Sri Sudarsana Peruman and Sri Guru Bhagawan reside in this temple.

The Chitra Chariot exhibits great significance at Kuruviththurai. The Chitra Chariot is the vehicle used to carry Sri Maha Vishnu in procession during Vishnupati. This chariot encompasses the seven colors visible on earth along with seven thousand colors from the Chitra star galaxy. Chitra star embraces the meaning of color and form. Chitra signifies structure while and Vallabham represents eternity. It is here that Sri Maha Vishnu reveals that the feet of a spiritual teacher are everlasting.

This site, known as Kuruviththurai, is significant for all spiritual teachers. The darshan of thousands of glowing lights of celestial teachers was emitted at this site. It is here that Sri Brahaspathi and Sri Sukrachariyar became the primary teachers of all teachers. Sukrachariyar performed penance at Tirubhuvanai Sri Varadaraja Perumal temple while Brahaspathi simultaneously performed penance at Kuruviththurai temple. Both were praying to Sri Narayana Moorthy for a life of tranquility between the celestials and the demons. The river linking these two temples is known as Bhargaspathi, which is the origin of the Vaigai River. Sri Narayana Moorthy revealed himself in the riverbed to Sukrachariyar and Sri Brahaspathi. They were bestowed with the grace of nine planets during the Kaliyuga.

There are seven types of abhishekham performed at this temple and garlands with seven different types of flowers. All who visit this temple will benefit if they carry their horoscope in a sandalwood box or yellow bag and walk around this temple 21 times. This will remove harmful effects of past life karma and grant the blessings of the nine planets. This sacred site will also assist people living with sorrow and depression. Those born under Chitra star would greatly benefit by offering fragrant and colorful flower garlands at this sacred energy vortex.

Footnote

There are many stories of Vishvakarma throughout the Vedas. He is famous for creating technological wonders that operate magically, but he does not discriminate whether he constructs it for the demons or demigods. Once he produced an airplane for a demon, that would appear and disappear, would look very big or very small, and the person operating the flying machine could drop whatever they wanted on the people below. It was operated by the power of the demon’s mind. Many people reading these stories consider them mythological. However, today’s scientists are now creating fighter jets with weapons that are discharged by what the pilot is thinking or looking at. Also, they have manufactured stealth bombers that cannot be detected. This is the nature of Chitra; it is a great time to create and innovate, but the creation has to be in line with the divine or otherwise it will end in destruction.
