Some quote the principle that a significator in its own house harms it and read over-indulgence or more than one relationship; it is judged with the 7th lord and Venus's strength, not alone.
Design, fashion, diplomacy, sales and partnership businesses suit it; commitment is the thing to protect.
Which sign falls in the 7th house depends on the lagna, and the sign changes Venus's strength there. For a Virgo (Kanya) lagna this house holds Pisces (Meena), where Venus is exalted; for a Pisces (Meena) lagna it holds Virgo (Kanya), where it is debilitated. It is the yogakaraka for Capricorn (Makara), Aquarius (Kumbha) lagna.

Venus mahadasha runs 20 years. This placement speaks most clearly then — in Venus's own mahadasha, in its antardashas inside other mahadashas, and in the dasha of the lord of the 7th house. Saturn's and Jupiter's transits over this house, or over the planet itself, wake it too.

- Chant the Venus mantra: Om Draam Dreem Draum Sah Shukraya Namah. Sit facing east after sunrise — Friday is the strongest day for it. Chant 4 malas a day (432 repetitions), keeping count on a 108-bead mala. Keep it up for 40 days without a break — that completes the traditional 16,000.
- Give a Venus donation. Give white sweets, white cloth, perfume on Friday, before noon. Offer it to a young woman or an artist, or to anyone in genuine need. Give quietly, in person, without expecting thanks.
- Daily practice for Venus. Treat women with respect; donate clothes or cosmetics to women in need. Keep it up every day for 40 days — consistency is the remedy.
