Planet of luxury & happiness in Vedic astrology – Venus (Shukra) 

In today’s day & age if there is one planet which is responsible for all the material happiness, amenities & pleasure, then that planet is none other than Venus. If we take into consideration the realistic figure of people who live with contentment or have embraced spiritual mode of living, the outcome would be dismal low because the fact is we all are running after satisfying our never ending appetite for material gain. This is the reason why Venus has gained so much prominence in our daily lives. I would try to present a different non redundant perspective on this planet something which I found true in my research on numerous charts

Venus in one word can be defined as happiness, its position in the horoscope tells which area of life native will derive maximum happiness & contentment. For example Venus’s placement in the fourth or second house will make native derive maximum happiness from family or mother (Depending on sign & nakshatra placement). It represents female & relationship with females in a man’s chart whether a man will benefit from opposite sex or run into troubles because of them, whether the relationship will be spiritual, amorous everything can be known by looking at the position of Venus alone in the horoscope

Venus represents all the luxury things available in this world along with being a chief significator of Vehicles & liquid cash. A good position of Jupiter makes millionaires or bestows top segment cars, but only Venus has the capacity to produce billionaires or bestow big boy toys like Rolls Royce & private jets.

Happiness represented by Venus can be elaborated as all those things which give us pleasure or fill us with happiness. Whether it’s Sex, eating sweets/ chocolates, splurging on luxury clothes. A good posited Venus confirms an individual’s fine & refined taste; love for beauty along with appreciation for arts, music & creativity. Amongst the top vocations ruled by Venus are fashion, music, films or anything which has to do with beautifying others or sensuality like beautician to name a few.

Trouble in accumulating money, sweet tooth problem, persistent conflicts with females, alcohol or gambling addiction, sex perversion or obsession are all seen from affliction to Venus.

A good Venus in the Horoscope (esp. if related to ascendant) gives good looks, beautiful features & well proportioned body, though if in excess in a man’s chart could make him look bit feminine. As we say Sun has the capacity to brighten the areas of the house where it sits in the Horoscope; Jupiter has the capacity to expand things (be it body-weight or wealth); Rahu has the capacity to amplify things; Venus has the capacity to beautify things, its position in the horoscope tells which part of your body will be most beautiful. For example, Venus’s position in the second house confirms that the individual will have a beautiful face or lips

Venus represents sex hormones, DNA or tissues of muscles in human body. Which consequently holds maximum say in our sex drive and ability to recuperate from diseases.

Only Venus is the planet in Vedic astrology which has the capacity to give posthumous fame to an individual. If any ways it gets connected to the 8th house of natal chart in a good dignity. You can remain assured that your name will remain or remembered long time after you will be gone or dead.

Even the three nakshatras (Bharani, Purva Phalguni & Purva Ashadha) ruled by Venus carry distinct traits within themselves; Bharani is the extreme amongst all nakshatras in the areas of sexuality, materialism, unpredictability & chaos; Purva Phalguni is the most comfort loving, well mannered & attention seeking nakshatra; Purva Ashadha is one of the most optimistic nakshatra with a nonchalant attitude towards misery & adverse circumstances.

As strengthening of Venus’s position in the horoscope is concerned, I am writing few remedies which can help empower the most important planet of today’s day & age in our lives. Its better the person should take refuge in the worship of Goddess Durga; rather than channelizing His/ her Venusian energy to opposite sex, the person should transcend it to the ultimate love & compassion for the almighty & humanity;

depending upon the lordship and placement and it’s dignity in a chart/kundli wearing diamond ring also helps; Donation of white things like milk, sugar or flour on particular days (preferably Friday); & lastly, servicing & helping blind people will surely compel the beauty inducing planet to beautify things in our lives.
