Symbolic meaning of the Venus

The symbolic meaning of "Venus" is "femininity" and the primary qualities of femininity are “Beauty”, “Love” & “Receptivity”.

As senses help people to observe the beauty of something or, somebody, therefore , Venus represent "sensuality" , "senses" , "sensitivity" too.

Other than senses ; Venus represent the “Sense objects” and “Beautiful things” like “Wealth”, “Natural beauty”, “Artistic beauty”, “Personal beauty” etc.

Natural beauty includes -: flowers , fruits etc.
Personal beauty includes -: fashion , cosmetics etc.
Artistic beauty includes -: singing , dancing ,painting etc.

“Love” and anything related to it like “Romance”, “Peace”, “Sexual indulgence” etc. are also represented by “Venus”.

In the process of formation of a child, the female receives the masculine energy and transforms it into a child and therefore, femininity has receptive power and masculinity has inceptive power.

So, "receptivity" or, "cooperation" and things related to it like “love relationship” and “Marriage” is also represented by Venus.

Nature of the Venus

Venus is the brightest of all the planets and also known as the “Morning star” or, “Evening star”.

Such characteristic of Venus makes it the most influential planet for Earth and its effects are the strongest.



Venus manifests itself as “Media”, “Entertainment”, “Sensual/Materialistic pleasures”, “Luxury” and “Luxurious items”, “Food”, “Wealth”, “Music”, “Arts”, “Polite people” and “Females” etc.

“Sukra” is the Guru of “Daityas” (Demons) and thus known as “Shukracharya” or, “Daityacharya”.



Sukracharya’s wife and daughter are “Jayanti” and “Devyani” respectively.

The Sanskrit meaning of the word “Sukra” is “Lucid, clear and bright”.

Description of “Brihaspati” in “Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra”

HOUSES IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY (PART-3)

In the last 2 parts of our discussion on the houses, we get to know many things about houses like, various house systems in astrology, the correct house system to follow etc. In this post, we will discuss about different categorization of the 12 houses along with the basic meaning of each house. If you haven’t read the first and second part of this discussion then I recommend you to read them first for better understanding of this topic. Read here -:  Part-1  ,  Part-2 Houses as “Bhavas” In Vedic astrology, a house is called as “Bhava”. The word “Bhava” means “Thoughts” and it is very obvious to name the houses as “Bhava” because each house possesses some kind of “Thought” in it and they represent certain things.

The ascendant or, rising sign (The zodiac sign that rises from the eastern horizon at the time of birth) plays a vital role in case of determining houses and their span. For example -: If at the time of birth of the native, the zodiac sign “Cancer” is present in the eastern horizon at 7°00’ then, it is become the mid-point of the 1 st house and native is said to have “Cancer” ascendant. In this way, the sign “Leo” takes the mid-point of 2 nd house, “Virgo” takes the mid-point of 3 rd house and so on as shown in the below table (fig-1) -: fig-1 : Houses for Cancer ascendant people Similarly, for “Virgo” ascendant peopl...

In our last part of this topic, we discussed about some preliminary concepts on the houses and different house systems that are used in astrology by different astrologer. Today let’s continue our discussion further. If you haven’t read the first part of this discussion then I recommend you to read that first for better understanding of this topic. Read here -:  Part-1 The Perfect House System After an introduction to so many house systems, an obvious question arises in our mind, i.e., "Which is the most correct house system to use?" Well, the answer for this question is hidden in the experiences of Vedic astrologers regarding various house systems. First of all, among the two broad categories of house systems, most of the Vedic astrologers usually prefer the “Linear house systems” because of some limitations present in the “Non-linear house systems”, such as, They are only extensible to house from ascendant (Lagna) and not fro...
