Venus enters Chitra nakshatra on 24 October 2026: what it means for every birth star

Venus leaves Swati and enters Chitra nakshatra (in Libra) on 24 October 2026 at 03:22 IST (New Delhi).

Chitra nakshatra

Lord: Mars. Deity: Vishvakarma, the divine architect. Symbol: a bright jewel. Nature: soft (mridu); gana: rakshasa (fierce).

Venus governs love and marriage, comfort, vehicles, the arts and luxury; for the next weeks these take on the colour of Chitra and of its lord Mars.

What it means for each birth star (tara)

Read from your birth nakshatra (janma nakshatra), counting to the star the planet now enters:

• Mrigashira, Chitra, Dhanishta — Janma (your own star): love, comforts and vehicles weigh on mind and body — keep a steady routine and avoid hasty decisions.
• Rohini, Hasta, Shravana — Sampat (wealth): gains and support through love, comforts and vehicles.
• Krittika, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha — Vipat (danger): obstacles and losses through love, comforts and vehicles — check before you commit.
• Bharani, Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha — Kshema (well-being): comfort and ease in love, comforts and vehicles.
• Ashwini, Magha, Mula — Pratyak (opposition): others may stand in your way in love, comforts and vehicles — avoid quarrels.
• Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, Revati — Sadhana (achievement): effort in love, comforts and vehicles succeeds — a good time to complete work.

• Ardra, Swati, Shatabhisha — Param Mitra (great friend): strong support and good news in love, comforts and vehicles.

A nakshatra transit is a finer layer on the sign transit and on your own chart's dasha; it colours the weeks rather than decides them.
