A planet having dual rule over Taurus and Libra and often known as the goddess of love is none other than Venus – Shukra. This is the planet of attraction, knowledge, love, wealth and prosperity. The two main areas of Shukra are love and money which are often considered as the most simple pleasures of life. The planet makes it much more complicated with various effects and side effects. These effects are based on the placement of the planet in one’s birth chart.
Beauty, grace and charm are the aspects that are governed by Venus. This planet directs the artistic inclinations, pleasures, tastes, likes and dislikes of a person. Dance, music, art, romance, love, sex, beauty and recreational sources are influenced by Shukra. It is the brightest planet in the sky and can be easily recognised when spotted in the north direction early morning. This is where it gets its name of being a morningstar.
The ruling day of Venus is Friday and its favourite colour is white. Mercury, Saturn and Rahu are the planets that are friendly with Venus and Mars and Jupiter remains neutral. Surya (Sun) and Chandra (Moon) are the enemy planets of Shukra. A metal that is very favourable for a person with Venus in its chart is Silver and stone is Diamond.
Bharni, Poorva Ashad, Poorva Phalguni are the constellations that are ruled by Venus planet. South East is the direction that is ruled by Venus. There are stories of Shukra being Shukracharya, son of Sage Bhrigu. He was the instructor of demons. Shukra was considered very worthy of Mritasanjivani knowledge which is supposed to bring back the dead to life. This knowledge was given by Lord Shiva.
Venus is considered Lucifer according to western astrology and Astoreth according to Hebrew culture. Indian culture and traditions consider Venus as a manifestation of Maha Lakshmi, the wife of supreme lord Vishnu. She governs marriage, beauty, comforts and love and is known as the goddess for all these. Vasant (April and May) are governed by Venus as well as Yajurveda.
According to the aspects ruled by Venus, it is safe to say that artistic and outgoing professions are suitable for people who have the presence of Venus in their birth chart. We can say that people from the film industry, theatre, music, tours and travel, hospitality, salons, jewellery business, cosmetic shops, painting, costumes, poetry, literature, the acting industry, photography, music industry, dance industry might have an upper hand of venus in their charts.
The body parts ruled over by Venus are the throat, skin, kidney, bladder, sex organs, chin, nose and eyes. The special features of this planet are fashion and sexual pleasures. When the planet is placed very well it leads to a person having beauty, wealth and prosperity whereas when the planet is not placed properly it leads to aloofness, laziness and perverted habits + amicable behaviour. The nature of this planet and people whose main planet is venus is lovable and sexy.
The planet Venus shows how to love and how to take care of your loved ones. They show how to spend money, where to spend it and also introduce the world to luxuries that were unknown. When a venus impacted person is acting out he/she remains calm, positive, poised and feels relieved on its own. On the other hand, Venusians are considered self-centred, self-indulgent and superficial as well.
