Name:  

Venus (Sukra)

venus

“We are the petals of Thy Manifestation but Thou Art the Flower, its life, beauty and loveliness. Permeate our souls with the fragrance of Thy presence.”

–Paramahansa Yogananda

Venus has a sweet energy and is the brightest of the planets when it comes close to the earth. Venus can uplift our state of consciousness through love, devotion, beauty and art. By uplifting our consciousness Venus can show us the highest truth.

As the ruler of beauty and art, Venus brings refinement and elegance. Venus can manifest harmony and connection, allowing us to enjoy ourselves and the company of others. Venus can bring us comfort and pleasure and a strong Venus may be beneficial for wealth.

There can also be a negative expression of Venus. Too much of a good thing can lead to indulgence and possessiveness.

Mantra for the venus

Om shukraya namaha

Sign Ruled by Venus - Taurus

Venus is the planetary ruler of Taurus. Taurus is a fixed earth sign and has a stable and enduring quality. Taurus governs May 15-June 14 (according to the Vedic Calendar), a time when the earth expresses much growth, beauty and refinement. The earth and nature are the artists, showing creativity, elegance and charm. Landscaping and creating our gardens are important this time a year.

Venus ruling an earth sign can encourage sensual enjoyment. Just like Ferdinand, the Bull, in this sign we want to take in the green grass, the budding trees and the beautiful flowers.

People with many planets in Taurus are creative and nurturing. They may be excellent cooks, making good use of the earth’s bounty. Others may have professions that nurture and make others beautiful.

On the negative side there can be indulgence, and because of the fixed quality of this sign there is a tendency to be possessive and stubborn.

Sign Ruled by Venus - Libra

The symbol for Libra is a pair of balance scales suggesting balance, equilibrium and justice. Libra is a cardinal air sign and gives its ruler, Venus, a mental focus.

Libra is a sign of social awareness. It can aid in connecting people with one another. A love of harmony, fairness, and an ability to see both sides of a coin, makes Libra a sign of mediators, negotiators, marriage counselors and diplomats.

Libra’s artistic charm, and a good sense of balance and proportion, can cultivate the abilities of artists, architects and designers.

According to the Vedic calendar, Libra rules the time from October 16th to November 15th. This is the time of year when the autumn leaves are falling and are carried away by the wind, demonstrating the importance of being flexible and adaptable.

Sometimes people with planets in Libra can be too adaptable, expressing an almost chameleon nature. Their ability to see two sides of everything can make them indecisive.
