Located in Libra. Vargottama. The aesthetic philosopher. You are the pure embodiment of the Libra side of Chitra. You possess an unparalleled sense of harmony, balance, and diplomacy. You understand how to make ideas and people look beautiful.
The Shadow Side
The absolute illusionist. You may become a master of PR and 'spin,' using your incredible charm to completely hide the truth. You may live entirely for the applause of society.
Karmic Warning & Growth Path
The key lesson for this placement is to learn valuing internal character over outer presentation. Continuing to operate in Chitra through your self-righteous preaching, dogmatic beliefs, and impractical expansion creates self-sabotaging unjustified optimism, ignoring details, and condescending lectures. Elevate this energy by channelling Venus's positive qualities.
