Venus in Vedic astrology is the planet of material wealth, comfort and luxury. Venus is an indicator of sensuality and the ability to love as well unconditionally. Venus gifts us a sense of beauty and creativity. In the highest manifestations, Venus leads us to a vision of the divine in everything.

Venus or Shukra, according to ancient myths, was the teacher of the Asuras, had a great mind and righteousness, and was blessed by Shiva himself, who gave him the knowledge of the resurrection of the dead.

Shukra in Sanskrit means “shining, sparkling.” Like the planet itself, which rises first above the horizon and heralds a new day, in the rays of the dawn Sun. Venus carries the feminine energy of creation, love, acceptance, creativity, emotions and feelings. Venus shows how a person in this incarnation will express and understand the true love and beauty of the universe.

Harmonization of Shukra is necessary for those who experience stagnation in the emotional sphere, do not feel joy, have difficulties in relationships with a partner.

Disharmonious Venus leads a person through endless material desires, frequent partner changes, betrayals, makes a person a slave of his own desires, excessive passion and lust. Disrespectful attitude towards women also spoils the energy of Venus.

Upayas for Shukra are often associated with creativity and the manifestation of love, primarily for one’s being.

Benefic Venus bestows material wealth and a sense of satisfaction with life.
