- 01
Venus in the 1st house
Venus on the lagna gives charm, good looks, refinement and an artistic eye; the classical texts add comforts, long life and popularity, especially with the opposite sex. - 02
Venus in the 2nd house
Venus in the 2nd sweetens speech and fills the table: the texts describe a pleasant, persuasive voice, wealth, fine food, a cultured family and talent in poetry, music or the arts. - 03
Venus in the 3rd house
Venus in the 3rd would rather charm than strive: the classical texts read a soft, pleasure-loving planet in this upachaya house of nerve as half-hearted effort, some rivalry with siblings and modest gains from one's own initiative. - 04
Venus in the 4th house
Venus in the 4th furnishes the home: it has directional strength (dig bala) here, and the texts describe a beautiful house, vehicles, ornaments, comforts, a loving mother and contentment — one of Venus's most comfortable houses. - 05
Venus in the 5th house
In the house of romance, creativity and children Venus is joyful: the texts describe children, intelligence, wealth and success in the arts, with a romantic, pleasure-loving temperament. - 06
Venus in the 6th house
The 6th is a weak house for Venus in the classical texts: they read trouble through relationships, health complaints that come from excess and an unsatisfying working life, though enemies are few. - 07
Venus in the 7th house
Venus is the natural significator of marriage, and in the 7th the texts give an attractive, cultured spouse, romance, pleasure and success through partnership and the public. - 08
Venus in the 8th house
Venus in the 8th brings comfort through others' resources: the texts, hard on most planets here, give it long life, wealth through inheritance, a spouse's family or joint resources, and comfort after middle age. - 09
Venus in the 9th house
In the house of fortune Venus brings grace to belief: the texts describe wealth, good fortune, a virtuous disposition, comforts, a fortunate spouse and good relations with teachers and the father. - 10
Venus in the 10th house
Venus in the 10th gives a graceful, popular career: the texts describe fame, honours and wealth earned through charm and the arts, and unafflicted it forms Amala yoga, the yoga of a clean reputation. - 11
Venus in the 11th house
Venus in the 11th earns through pleasure and people: the texts describe wealth, comforts, many friends and gains through women, the arts and fine goods, with desires fulfilled. - 12
Venus in the 12th house
Venus is the one planet the classical texts welcome in the 12th: they give comforts and sensual pleasures, wealth spent on enjoyment and an inclination to foreign places — and in Pisces, its exaltation, a refined devotion.
Make your kundli and look for Venus on the chart: the house it sits in, counted from the lagna, is the page to read, and the sign it is in is the row of that page’s table.
