CHITRA - Moon in 23.20Virgo-6.40Libra
This is the "star of opportunity" and is governed by Mars. These individuals posses charisma, personal charm, and can be flashy and glamorous. They love bright colors and usually have very beautiful eyes with well-proportioned bodies. This is one of the most mystical nakshatras of all. They have deep spiritual depth and with sudden flashes of insight. They are wonderful conversationalist; they say the right thing at the right time. Chitra rules creation, indicating artistic ability, and organizational ability as in architectural design. Many artists are born in this asterism. With an affinity to jewels they may deal with gemstones. Chitra reflects the world of maya and delusions, which they are to over come.

MEGHA MANI - THE CLOUD PEARL
The rare cloud pearl is a mysterious object which is said to form within a cloud and is considered so valuable that it is usually stolen by the demigods. The Brihat Samhita text says: "They say that pearl is produced in the clouds of the seventh layer of wind in the sky in the manner of hail-stones. It falls there with the brilliance of lightning and is taken away before it reaches the earth by the denizens of heaven."
Reports from the Vedas say that the Megha Mani is actually the heart of Vishnu himself, while other indications say that the flowers of Vishnu's garland become Cloud Pearls as they fall to earth. The Megha Mani it is said, is almost certainly an artifact belonging to the continuum of Lord Vishnu.
The Garuda Purana, ch 69, describes the cloud pearl thus: "Suta said... A cloud-grown pearl rarely reaches this mortal globe, and usually falls to the lot of the celestials. By illuminating the four quarters of the sky with its native lustre, a cloud-begotten pearl, like the sun dispels the gloom of a cloudy day. Outshining the combined effulgence of the fire, the moon, and the myriads of scintillating stars, such a pearl, like the dawn of day, can dispel the gloom of even the darkest night on earth. The whole earth, girdled by the four oceans containing innumerable gems in the fathomless depths, can not be deemed as the adequate price of such a pearl, even if she be covered over with layers of pure gold. A man, born in indigence and of humble parents, but happening to be the possessor of such a pearl, only through the transformation of a good deed done in a previous existence, is sure to be the paramount sovereign of the entire surface of the Earth. Not to the good deeds of the king alone, but to the better fortune of the whole humanity, should be ascribed the advent of such a man on earth, and no evil would ever strike the land to the extent of a thousand Yojanas (a Yojana is about 8 to 9 miles) round the place of his birth."
