Venus, or Shukra, is the karaka for love, marriage, luxury, and the arts in a Vedic chart — the graha most consistently associated with attraction and pleasure across the whole zodiac, regardless of which house it's read from. It rules both Taurus and Libra, is exalted in Pisces, and is debilitated in Virgo, where its indulgent nature runs against that sign's preference for restraint and analysis.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Nature | Benefic; classical "minister" of luxury and relationship |
| Own Sign(s) | Taurus and Libra |
| Exaltation | Pisces |
| Debilitation | Virgo |
| Vimshottari Dasha | 20 years |
| Day | Friday |
Venus's Mahadasha runs 20 years, the longest of any graha in the Vimshottari system — a reflection of how consistently its themes (relationship, comfort, aesthetics) tend to stay active across a large stretch of adult life rather than concentrating into one short window. Ruling Friday, Venus is classically read as benefic, though its results still depend on the houses it rules and occupies in a specific chart.
