FAQ'S ON VENUS/SHUKRA

What result would retrograde Venus in the 7th house give individually?

Significations of Venus:

Beauty, Music, Taste, Fragrance, Touch, Vehicles, Luxury, Horses, Knowledge, Skill, Acidic, Carefree Life, Comfort, Egg in Females and Semen in Males, Veins, Garment, Cosmetics, Marital Happiness, Fine Arts, Well shaped Eyes, Convenience, Ambidextrous, Poetry, Intellectual, Expensive Merchandise, Graceful, etc.

Now when Venus becomes retrograde then these significations will get modified depending on whether Venus is beneficially posited or malefically posited.

If it is retrograde and beneficial to the native, then the significations will get modified as follows: -

Extraordinary beauty, is particular with regard to hygiene, eccentric with regard to dressing sense and outlook, would love to look natural and despises cosmetics, etc.

If it is retrograde and malefically disposed then the significations will get transformed as follows: -

The person will believe in false hood, apply cosmetics to enhance beauty, will be finicky with regard to food, over cautious and fearful with regard to social appearance.

Now as per this query Venus retrograde and is placed in the 7th house (we do not know whether Venus is a benefic or a malefic to the ascendant).

A normal Venus in the 7th will delay marriage, but a retrograde Venus in the 7th would give early marriage and mostly a love marriage.

The native will not be able to control his emotions in a relationship and hence would go through a lot of situations which will turn sour.

If Venus is malefically posited being retrograde in the 7th house and simultaneously the ascendant lord and the 6th lord is strong then the native will be involved in NGO’s and serve the public.

If the 5th lord is strong and Ketu is strong in a chart with Venus in the 7th (retrograde) then the native will be good in research and become a doctorate.

There are many combinations with this placement of Venus which give variety of results.

 

What if Atmakaraka Venus is debilitated in both the Lagna chart and Navamsa?

When Atmakaraka is weak, then we should see how it is posited and aspected by other planets and especially by the Amatya karaka.

If Amatya karaka is strongly placed, then Atma karaka will gain strength through it.

Atma karaka will guide the native throughout his life and when it is weak, the native will feel less in confidence.

If the ascendant lord is well posited, then there is a good chance that it will compensate for the weak Atmakaraka.

 

What are the results when Venus in the fourth house gets aspect from Jupiter in the eighth house in Virgo Lagna?

Venus is the signifier of the 4th house being the lord of luxury and enjoyment.

Venus in the 4th house is an excellent combination which will give comfort and happy living to the native. In this case this combination is also aspected by Jupiter from Aries which is the dispositor of Venus (which is posited in the sign of Sagittarius).

If the dasha period is favourable then the native will do good in education.

 

What are the remedies for a weak Venus placed in the 12th house of a Cancer ascendant (Leo zodiac)?

Venus is the karaka (signifier) of the 12th house. Venus is the link between this material world and our senses.

For example, when Venus is retrograde the ability to taste will become extremely critical and hence the native will have difficulty in realizing the taste. They act eccentric when compared to others. For normal people this behaviour will seem abnormal.

In the same way all the sense organs like taste and touch will fully depend over the position of Venus in a chart.

In the above case Venus is placed in the 12th house (which is a good and favourable placement), but as mentioned it is weak and hence considered not fully positive.

Venus is here posited in the sign of Gemini and hence is well placed since Gemini is a friends sign. Venus is now in the 2nd from Taurus and in the 9th from Libra and hence not weak.

Only when Venus is malefically conjunct in this position it is deemed to be weak or else it will surely give good results in its period.

In case Venus is weak then as a remedial measure the native would have to alter his sleeping position, eating habits and the clothes he wears.

This change would again depend over the individual chart.

 

Is Venus in Virgo in the 2nd house for a Leo ascendant bad?

Venus is considered bad for the Leo ascendant by some astrologers, but my opinion is that, being the lord of the 3rd and the 10th houses Venus rules growth and profession and should be considered as an important planet for the ascendant of Leo.

The placement of such a strong signifier in the house of Wealth (2nd house) gives good results to the native though it is weak due to debilitation.

The native will have a nice voice and will be charming. This is again a good position for professional progress.
