In details


Pleasant face:  After Moon Venus is the next seductive planet in the zodiac. Both Moon and Venus are the Water planets and are significator for relationships. All relationships are created by the Water Tattva, of which Moon and Venus are significators. When Venus occupies the Ascendant House, the native has a  pleasant and attractive face, which seduces or pulls others towards the native. They are fully loved by the opposite sex as Venus is also the karaka of Sexual act. It prompts and prods two individuals to get into a sexual act, hence no doubt it gives a attractive face as well as attractive physical features in the native.

Venus is the planet governing relationship and sex.  Hence when it is placed in the Ascendant, the native becomes passionate, and highly adept in sexual matter. Venus is a teacher (teacher of demon) and teaches how to attain material happiness in this material world. On the other hand, Jupiter teaches how to attain bliss in the spiritual world. Venus is the Karaka for sex and its name means Semen. Hence it rules the sexual potency in individuals. When Venus is badly placed in a horoscope, with Saturn, Mercury influencing the Ascendant, the native suffers due to impotence.

Another name for semen in Sanskrit is Virya which also means strength and prowess. Hence Venus also relates to the strength and physical prowess of the native. In ancient times, there was a tradition of watching Venus’s rising in the eastern sky to judge the likelihood of victory in battle. Hence, the sexual potency of a person is also related to the physical strength and good health of the native. It is often seen  that one with good health also has a good and productive sex life, which is also a key element of marital success and happiness in life. Weak Venus is usually seen in the horoscopes of Sadhus who have renunciated sex. In fact, Venus in the 8th house is also known as Sadhu yoga, and is commonly found in  the horoscope of the monks and spiritual saints.

Venus rules everything that soothes others; bring others closer to the native. Hence, the native becomes easily adapt in various art forms such as music, sketching and painting, should there be other yogas supporting it. Venus is adept in various forms of knowledge (sarva-shastra-pravaktaram), which gives happiness, comforts and luxuries in this world. Native with Venus in the Ascendant can become adept in some or other art forms, especially when it is associated with other Water elements. The nature of the art form can be seen from the Rasi and Planet influencing the Venus through conjunction or aspects. For instance Moon influence can give singing or poetry; Mercury’s influence can give mimicry or writing; Jupiter’s influence can give knowledge of the Shastras, writing books etc.

The Planets occupying the Ascendant is that prevails in the life of the native, more than other planets. This is because the influence of the planet occupying the Ascendant has the ability to block or allow other influences  to reach the native. There is often growth of the significations of the planet occupying the Ascendant, as the native is very receptive to the significations of this planet. If the Planet is endowed with strength i.e., it is  placed in its Sva, Uccha, Mulatrikona, Mitra Places and Auspicious Madhya, the positive significations of  the Planets manifest more in the native’s life. On the other hand, if the Planet is in bad avastha i.e., placed in its Neecha, Shatru Places and also in Papa madhya, the negative influences manifests. So when  positive influence of Venus manifests on the Ascendant, the native can be a enchanter, while negative influence of Venus can make the person indulge in indiscriminate sex with multiple partners, or even  prostitutes.

Nonetheless, Venus in the Ascendant can cause more than one marriage  as Venus carries the energies of  the 7th  house, it being the Karaka of that house. So when the 7th house significations rises in the Ascendant,  the number of marriage also grows. However, it is dangerous to reach a conclusion by looking at just one planets as multiple factors are involved in deciding the tendencies of the native’s mind and his behaviour. Jupiter involving in the matters of marriage by being the ruler, occupant or aspecting planet of the key houses ruling Marriage, it promotes chastity, one marriage and commitment in the marriage. Hence when Jupiter aspects or establishes sambandha with Venus, 7th  house or 7th  lord, it is rarely possible to have more than one marriage.

Venus is the most beautiful planet in the horoscope.
 It governs everything pertaining to beauty, symmetry, harmony in the nature. Hence it is made the key planet governing femininity. It has now become widely known that “While men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”. The natives who are under strong influence of Venus often gravitate towards some art and craft very early in life. Thus, such native can attain success as poets, artists, dramatists, scriptwriters, writers etc. In their art and composition, one observe the stamp of Venus, which is highly passionate, seductive and that attracts. Venus being the karaka for beauty is also a perfectionist and thus has less tolerance towards unkempt, unclean and disorganized things, of which Saturn is the Karaka. Thus, even though Saturn and Venus are good friends, their nature are completely the opposite. While Venus natives always like to adorn with good dresses, ornaments etc. those influence by Saturn likes to stay in soiled clothes and have an unkempt appearance.

Venus in Fire Ascendants, although cause delay in marriage, however they get a loving and good natured  wife. Fire Zodiac is purifying but harsh. Venus is a Water planet and it is inimical towards the Fire Tattva. Water either douses Fire, or Fire changes the Water to Vayu tattva. Hence they work against each other’s sustenance. Having said that, creation happens when Fire and Water are brought together, in the form of male and female principles. Although there is conflict with this coming together of two tattvas, causing delay in marriage, but this promises chastity in the matters of Venus i.e., relationship. For Mesha, Venus is the Dhanesha and Daresha, for Leo Ascendant, Venus is the Sahajesha and Karmesha and for Dhanu Ascendant, Venus is the Shastesha and Labhesha. While for Mesha Ascendant, Venus is a maraka, while for the other two Ascendants, Venus is a Trishadhayadhipati. Since Venus is not a functional benefic for the Fire Ascendants, its placement in the Ascendant can cause delay in marriage. However, due to its placement in purifying signs, the marriage turns out to be auspicious, and the native attains a loving and caring wife.

While the Fire Zodiac are purifying, Fire being governed by Sun; the Vayu Zodiac are corrupting as it is governed by Saturn. All the Vayu Zodiac are governed by the Asuras and thus are friendly towards Venus. Unlike the Devas, the Asuras are fond of indulging in material happiness (iha loka sukha), there are some negativities associated with such placement of Venus. While the good placement of Venus in  these signs promise a good looking and loving wife, the native is hardly satisfied with his own wife or committed to marriage. The natives are inclined towards indulging in extra marital misadventures and thus end up having illicit relationship with other women. For all the Vayu Ascendants, Venus is one of the Trikonadhipati, thus is highly auspicious. While this auspiciousness grants a good wife, it also opens the floodgates for excessive passion and indulgence. Jupiter’s influence on the factors of relationship can help in curbing the excessive passion.10.

For Vrsha Ascendant, Venus is the Ascendant Lord as well as Shastesha. Hence its placement in the Ascendant, being  the Shastesha in own house, although can give marriage, but Venus being the lord of enemies also bring some discord in marital life. The principle here is that, wherever the lord of enemies are placed, it will indicate enmities, conflict etc, pertaining to its occupied House, the source of which can be traced back to  the natural significations of the planet owning the Shatru House. Here Venus becomes the owner of the Shatru House, hence the discord and conflicts can originate from the matters of spouse, relationship etc. Placement of the Shatru-adhipati in the Ascendant indicate some conflict troubles the native all the time. However, Ascendant Lord placed in own House indicate that the conflicts will never go out of hand.11.

In Kanya Rasi, Venus’s behaviour is different from Mithuna Rasi. While Mithuna is full of libido as its name suggests, Kanya is pure with complete absence of the sexual passion and libido. It represents a state  where a girl has not attained the state of puberty and is extremely pure. Kanya or young girls are often worshipped Durga puja, in the form of Kanya Puja to show respect to this aspect of femininity. When Venus is placed in Kanya Ascendant, in debility, being the Dharmesha (and also Dhanesha), it restrains the sexual indulgence of the native. Venus being keeper of righteousness (Dharma) for this Ascendant, will not allow promiscuity. The neecha avastha of Venus indicate that its significations of sexuality has not started  to bloom. The Neecha becomes troublesome, when such Venus is conjoined or aspected by papaplanets (especially Saturn, Mars, Rahu), as them it can give weakness in sexual character. On the other hand aspect of Auspicious Planet and Ascendant Lord Mercury in strength would indicate that the native is free from the shackles of passion and sex drive.

Makara is the place of debility of Jupiter and exaltation of Mars.
 It is an extremely aggressive and passionate sign due to the strong expression of masculinity (Mars). For this Ascendant, Venus becomes an  yogakaraka being the owner of Suta and Karma House. Here Venus carries the duty of love (suta) and duty (karma). Hence, placement of Venus in this Ascendant also brings influence of love and duty on the Ascendant. But Saturn being the owner of this sign are some negative indications. Saturn is the karaka for delay and ugliness, thus Venus’s placement here can indicate delay in marriage and that the wife is not very  beautiful. However, the occupation of Venus as Sutesha and Karmesha promises strong love and affection  between the couples, and there is righteous conduct in the relationship. Saturn’s influence on Venus makes  the native somewhat shy, and he does not express his love openly
