Chitra pada 4

Where Chitra pada 4 is
3°20′ of the zodiac, and what falls in itChitra pada 4 is the fourth 3°20′ of Chitra, 3°20′ Libra – 6°40′ Libra, in Libra. A Moon here is named by the syllable Ri and falls in a Scorpio navamsa.
What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimChitra in Brihat Jataka (16.8) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Chitra dresses in clothes and flowers of many colours and has beautiful eyes and a well-formed body. (Chapter 16 reads several nakshatras in each verse, one after another.) The text reads the nakshatra as a whole; the pada refines it through its navamsa, below.
Chitra gives the Moon its nature through Mangal; pada 4 sends it into a Scorpio navamsa, ruled by Mangal. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Mangal colours what Chitra gives.
Here the navamsa lord is Mangal again, the nakshatra’s own lord, so the pada doubles its nature.
The pada tradition reads each quarter by its navamsa’s element: a water navamsa makes this a Moksha pada, turned towards release, inner life and letting go.

The Mool shanti is traditionally done on the 27th day after birth, when the Moon returns to the birth nakshatra.
