1. Chandra in Mrigashira = needs to investigate

2. Chandra in Chitra = needs to dominate

3. Chandra in Dhanishtha = needs to motivate

Radix Moon in Chitra = "Charm" - bright and physical

• Kuja-Budha- Tvastr [Kanya]

• Kuja-Shukra-Tvastr [Thula]

• Mangala and Chandra = Friendly relationship

Mangala endures a hostile relationship with Budha.

Mangala enjoys a neutral and often mated relationship with Shukra.

In all four pada, Chitra-Chandra is combative and dominating, conquesting and pursuing, lively and sporting -- yet also scholarly and capable of penetrating (Kuja) thought (Budha).

Often a capable writer on contentious topics.

Yet Chandra's needs are different in the two portions, Kanya step 1-2 vs. Thula step 3-4.

In logical Kanya, Chitra-Chandra needs to "win the argument" and pursue the plan

• USSR dictator 1922-1952 Josef Stalin + Shukra + Surya

• Dictator of Cuba 1961-2011 Fidel Castro

• USA Pres-41 George H. W. Bush

• USA Pres-43 George W. Bush

In diplomatic Thula, Chitra-Chandra needs to "dominate the partnership" and pursue the agreement

• USA Pres-34-Dwight D. Eisenhower

• PM-Pakistan 1988-1990; 1993-96 Benazir Bhutto

• King of Nepal 1972-2001 Birendra Bir Bikram Shah

Strategic and tactical pursuit; competitive dominant instinct; the arts of war

• needs to Dominate through strategy and tactic in complexly structured competitive wars

• in Kanya, seeks to win the argument

• in Thula, seeks enrichment via money, jewels, ornaments e.g. luxury automobiles (Shukra)

• Chitra "destroys enemies and enriches friends".

Chitra are competitively ambitious "alpha" warrior types.

Even when Chitra is born with high levels of analytical intelligence - often present in the Kanya portion - Chandra-Chitra remains a physically straightforward person who understands blood-competition at the mundane and muscular battlefield level.

May appear crude or primitive because of their core intuition being so fleshly. However the flesh is the undeniable basis of human life, and one who recognizes that base reality will be effective in dealings. Aggression by weapon (or realistic threat of it) is particularly the skill of Chitra.

Blessed by Lord Tvastr, the Chaitra native possess intuition (Chandra) for design of excellent strategic plans.

• Emotionally oriented to winning the competition (often a political election) and obtaining the jeweled prize.

If not well supported, the emotional instinct to win may involve appropriations of the wealthy of others.

• Chitra is the architectonic jewel of great price.

• This native wants to know how it all fits together (the facets of the jewel) and then to USE one's knowledge (Budha) for personal gain.

• Mangala-ruled Chitra's method = movement.

• Mangala-ruled Chitra's goal = strategic (long-term) and tactical (short-term) positioning for competitive advantage:

• The competitively advantaged position is usually pursued through control of material assets, in combination with a high decision-making position of some type.

• Particularly in the Budha-ruled Kanya portions, Chaitra-Chandra is a magnificent planner.

• Financial and political corruption does not offend this native; since the baser instincts of human nature are simply more facets of the jewel.

Pursues ones single goal with a high sense of entitlement, reflecting a noble and cut-throat style of practicing the arts of war.

Architecturally minded genius, able to mount great schemes and plans.

• Strategically minded.

Charming conversationalists and entertainers, esp. in the Budha-ruled pada.

Famed for insight, artistic ability, and for their power to work in hot-pressure environments. Masters of illusion.

Favors jewels and gems (formed in hot-pressure) esp. in the Shukra-ruled pada.

• Deep emotional need to dominate through charm.

• Tvashtr Vishvakarma = the celestial architect (devashilpi)

In order to mirror one's own subconscious emotional patterns, one attracts a core partner who expresses Chitra behavior.

Under emotional stress in relationships, Chandra-Chitra can experience deep anxiety reactions that manifest as compulsive conversation and entertaining.

The partner of Chandra-Chitra needs evidence of wealth and popularity to stabilize their own emotional life.

Partner may be fascinated with gold and jewels, literal or figurative. Partner is a very charming and conversationally gifted personality. Generally the partnerships are highly visible, glittery, and oriented toward acquisition of money and prestige.
