in all pada, Chitra-Chandra is combative and dominating, conquesting and pursuing, lively and sporting.

Yet Chandra's needs are different in the two portions, Kanya vs. Thula.

• In Kanya, Chitra needs to "win the argument" and pursue the plan

• In Thula, Chitra needs to "dominate the partnership" and pursue the pleasure

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 - the native 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 forcompetitive 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 styleof practicing the arts of war.

Architecturally mindedgenius, 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.

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

• Deep emotional need to dominate throughcharm.

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

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

The partner of the native 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.
