Chitra is the fourteenth nakshatra, bridging Virgo and Libra. It carries brilliance and design — the jewelled eye for form that builds beautiful, striking things, in craft or in persona. Those born under it are often elegant and charismatic, with a charm that draws people and a genuine power to create beautiful things; conscious of appearance and drawn to the world's glitter, they may also feel the ache to see past the surface to what is real. The bright jewel is its symbol — an eye for form in work and in persona.
Presided over by Tvashtar (Vishvakarma), the celestial architect, with the bright jewel as its symbol. Its Vimshottari lord is Mangala.

Span 23°20′ Kanya – 6°40′ Tula; lord Mars. The Mercury-sign half engineers with precision, the Venus-sign half designs for effect; Mars as lord supplies the drive to actually build.
