Venus in Marriage & Sex 1

In matters related to marriage and sex, Venus occupies an important

position as it is lord of 2
nd
and 7
th
sign of Zodiac and also is Karaka of all
the ingredients connected with sex and marriage. If one scans through
various significations of Venus as mentioned earlier, it wont escape our
notice how aptly Venus represents marriage and sex. Marriage is
nothing but a lasting union between a male and female governed by
mutual contract open or secret. But in Hindu religion Contract of
marriage is something more than a civil agreement. However the
concept of marriage has widened its horizon with passage of time and
number of religions coming into existence. The marriage can be open or
secret and even not be a legal marriage. The marriage could exist in
various forms depending upon the conditions of religion, country and
individual beliefs. In Hindu religion, it is still something above a civil
agreement and its seed all lay in various incarnations. However the
intention is not to examine this sacred institution philosophically but to
analyze it astrologically. In astrology, the legality or otherwise of a
union is a matter of very secondary importance. Astrological
examinations are not bound to any rules of religion and custom. Unions
when given legal form become marriage and any union outside the
legal restriction can be called only sexual relationship born out of
passion and lasciviousness. However marriage amongst Hindus assume
a very important factor and while deciding a marriage partner, a lot of
attention is paid to various factors such a physical fitness, mental
qualities, heredity, sexual compatibility and social and economic status.
Hindu astrological treaties reveal several astrological factors pertaining
to connubial felicities or contrariwise. In the following paragraphs,
various aspects are considered astrologically in a limited way. The
classical writers like Varahamihira, Mantreshwara and Mahadeva have
unanimously observed that effects with regard to male, all those that
may be found in female horoscope, should be stated as applicable to
men also. Those not applicable to them should be ascribed to their
husbands. This statement is to a great extent correct but there are
certain niceties of female horoscope which are not available in a male
chart or cannot be even ascribed to t5he husband and it is because of
this aspect some classical writers have devoted a complete chapter to
female horoscopy. One cannot miss this in Saravali.

MALE HOROSCOPY

BALANCED SEX LIFE
Venus is the most important of the planets which covers the sex life in a
male. Her strength, situation etc and relation with other planets are
very important the sex life of a male. When Venus is well placed, strong
and unafflicted, she gives a balanced sex life.
In a horoscope to judge the nature of affliction is very tricky job and
requires lots of skill and experience. A planet is unafflicted when it is
neither conjoined with nor aspected by any malefic. A planet is said to
be afflicted when the same is either conjoined with or aspected by a
malefic. When a planet is conjoined with or aspected by both benefics
and malefics, it possesses a dual character. It may result into both
benefic and malefic effects. But the stronger will predominate. When
the conjoining or aspecting benefic planet is stronger than the
conjoining or aspecting malefic planet, the evil effect may be
completely checked, but while it is weaker, the evil forces may not be
checked. When the afflicted planet is situated in house of a benefic, the
evil forces are much minimized, while the planet is situated in house of
a malefic, the evil qualities increase.
When Venus is situated in her own house, in house of mooltrikona or in
exaltation, she gives one balanced sex life, provided she is not in any
way weak or afflicted.
Saturn, Mars, Sun, waning Moon, Rahu, Ketu and Mercury when
associated with any of the foregoing planets are known as malefic
planets and of them Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu are highly malefic.
When a malefic planet is a yogakaraka and is in a house of a benefic,
the malefic character is much minimized. When Rahu or Ketu is well
placed and in the house of benefic or with a benefic, the malefic quality
of the planet is also much minimized. When Venus is situated in a
house owned by any of the above planets, sex life of male is likely to be
disturbed. When Saturn, Mars, Rahu or Ketu makes relationship with
Venus by aspect or conjunction, a male is likely to have unbalanced sex
life. If Venus is in house of either Mars or Saturn and is also aspected by
Mars or Saturn, a person is certainly going to suffer from troubled sex
life. If above are also aspected by or conjoined with any benefic planet,
particularly by Jupiter, there may not be any trouble. Influence of Mars
or Rahu over Venus by association or aspect makes a person highly
sexy, provided Venus is situated in house of a malefic and also devoid
of any benefic conjunction or aspect.
Jupiter, waxing Moon and unafflicted Mercury are the benefics and
their conjunction with Venus or their aspect over Venus is always good
for normal sex life in a male horoscope. Jupiter is highly benefic planet
and his relationship with Venus is always good for balanced and normal
sex life. When lords of Kendras and Trikonas join or aspect Venus, they
increase the happiness of sex life, while association of Venus with other
lords particularly with lords of evil houses (i.e. dusthana sixth, eighth
and twelfth houses) is not good. When Venus is in evil house or in the
house of debilitation being afflicted, she causes harms to sex life of a
male.
As mentioned above, Venus with lords of quadrants is very welcome
and so its placement there but ownership (Kendra adhipatya) or
situation in unfavorable constellation or constellation of malefic or her
position between malefics makes Venus afflicted or weak as the case
may be and harms sex life. This position of Venus changes the mind and
gentle nature altogether and one behaves more cruelly. Similar is the
case when malefics are posited in quadrants to Venus or Chaturasra
(the 4
th
and 8
th
house). She is to some extent like Moon, who is malefic
when devoid of digit power and like Mercury who becomes a malefic
directly when comes in contact with other malefic. In hundreds of
horoscopes it has been observed by me that an afflicted Venus gives an
unbalanced sex life and has given more than one wife or sexual union
with more than one woman.

Case Study 1:

In this chart, Venus is in 12
th
house and Venus position in 12
th
house is
very beneficial for relationship/marriage matters. Also Venus is quite
unafflicted. Venus is definitely aspected by Rahu but Rahu has lost his
malefic effect significantly being conjoined with exalted Jupiter and
placed in 11
th
house. Also Venus is in 9
th
from AL which is again an
excellent placement. Adding more to it, his first relationship
materialized into marriage as 7
th
lord from Venus is Rahu and is
conjoined with Jupiter (7
th
lord from Moon & Lagna) and is Darakaraka
too. This marriage was a stable one because 2
nd
lord from UL is Venus
and Venus is quite well placed as discussed above.
Case Study 2:

In this chart, Venus is exalted in Lagna and dispositor of Venus, Jupiter,
is also well placed in 10
th
house from Lagna. Though Rahu is conjoined
with Venus but being in Jupiters house and unafflicted by any other
malefic planet reduces the malefic effect of Rahu significantly. The
marriage was lasting one because the 2
nd
lord from UL is Venus and is in
exaltation and unafflicted too. More to it, Venus is in Digbala from AL
(AL shifted to 10
th
house being 7
th
from AL is stronger).
Case Study 3:

In this chart, Venus is very well placed in 5
th
house in Pisces, exaltation
sign of Venus and is unafflicted neither being conjoined with nor
aspected by any malefic planet. More to this, Jupiter is in 8
th
from
Venus (benefic planet in Chaturasra). This altogether gave a very good
marital life to Astaire Fed. Adding more to this, he has Jupiter in trines
to Moon giving chaste relationship to him.
