Chitra in a birth chart
Your birth nakshatra (janma nakshatra) is the one the Moon was in when you were born. With Chitra, the Moon is in Virgo (Kanya) or Libra (Tula), and Mars rules the first dasha of your life in the Vimshottari system, which is why your Mahadasha sequence starts with Mars. In Kundli matching, its Rakshasa gana, Tiger yoni and Madhya nadi count for 18 of the 36 points.
