Acharya Karan V – “Shukra”, recognized as the planet Venus, is perceived to be associated with sage “Shukracharya” in Hindu mythology. Guru Shukracharya, a scholar of great repute, is believed to be a counsellor of “Asuras” or the demons. In Vedic Astrology, “Shukra” is one of the “Navagrah” or nine planets that are capable of affecting a human life. The day Friday or “Shukrvar” is associated with the planet “Shukra”. In Vedic or Hindu Astrology, “Shukra” is considered to be a symbol of Love, Physical Desire, Pleasure, Beauty and other worldly pleasures. It also represents a great love for fine arts like music, painting and dance. One with prominent “Shukra” in his horoscope tends to be more appreciative towards the artistic side and a lover of nature. He is likely to have cordial and amicable relationships with others. On the contrary, too much prominence of “Shukra” in one’s horoscope is very much likely to cause one to be too indulgent in attaining pleasures, thereby forming one to be of hedonistic nature.

However, the planet “Shukra” is not considered to be malefic planet and tends to have a beneficent effect. It rules over Taurus (Vrishabh) and Libra (Tula) and sits exalted in Pisces (Meena). The prominent planet the Sun and Moon are not likely to be friendly with it. One having “Shukra Dasha” in birth-chart is considered to be quite good with luck as it results in lot of luxuries and wealth. The adverse effects of the “Shukra Grah” are usually ones caused by over-indulgence in worldly pleasures like venereal ailments, hypertension, indigestion caused due to over-eating and obesity etc.
