Ordinarily, the situation of Venus in the Ascendant makes one fortunate but “If Venus
combines with the lords of the 2nd, the 7th (Marakas) and the 6th and occupies the
Ascendant, the native’s moral character will be questionable’. Venus in the Ascendant
associated with or aspected by malefics makes the native hunt other women which can
be punishable under law. If weak Venus is in the 2nd, the 4th, the 7th, the 8th or the
12th from the Ascendant or the Moon, the native will have more than one wife vide
Charts 2, 3 and 4. If afflicted Venus is in the 5th, 7th or the 9th in conjunction with a weak
Sun, the native may not marry or the spouse may be very licentious, he may have loose
habits and maybe fond of other people’s wives. If Venus is in the 6th house with Saturn
or Ketu, the native will have no sexual urge.

In Chart l, Venus is in Virgo in the 8th from the Ascendant. Not only he is debilitated but
is also in conjunction with a malefic and is aspected by another malefic, and is thus much
afflicted. The native married in his 36th year when he was having Venus Dasa and within
one year he had to separate from his wife almost for good. He lost his job on account of
quarrels with his superiors and also his properties in this Dasa finally leading a sickly and
lonely life. The situation of Venus in the 7th house is very inauspicious as it makes the
native extremely passionate and immoral; if such Venus is powerful the native will have
more than one wife. He may also have bad habits like masturbation and sodomy, he
may be fond of other woman and enjoy sexual pleasure always. Generally Venus in the
7th in Scorpio or afflicted Venus in the 7th indicates the death of the life-partner. If
Venus is in the 7th in association with the Sun or the Moon, the native may not marry or
may marry a widow or a barren woman and in association with Mercury the native may
hunt after other women, Venus in conjunction with a malefic in the 7th in a common or
Dwiswabhava Rasi like Gemini indicates more than one wife.
In Chart 2, Venus is in the 7th from the Ascendant in Gemini in association with Mars.
The native was highly sexed, immoral and wayward and often engaged in nefarious
activities. He had more than one wife. According to Varahamihira, if Venus occupies any
one of the Vargas of Mars or Saturn and is in the 7th aspected by either one of them, the
native becomes adulterous. A conjunction of Mars and Venus in the 7th house ordinarily
makes one extremely passionate and adulterous. It indicates sexual connections with
other people’s wives. Chart 2 is an example of it.
If the Moon joins Venus and Mars in the 7th in the horoscope of a female, she becomes
adulterous with her husband’s connivance. If Saturn is associated with a weak or afflicted
Venus in the 7th. the native may have adulterous tendencies or sexual relationship with
widows, servile or aged women. If Venus is in the 7th in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces
coinciding with Rikshasandhi (last Navamsa of Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces) and Saturn is in
the Ascendant or the 5th house, the native’s wife will be barren. If Venus in the 7th house
is influenced by Rahu or Ketu and another malefic, the native will have the least respect
for moral codes and is capable of seeking sexual gratification in most nefarious ways.

Chart 2 is an example of this. If Venus is in the 6th- the 8th or the 12th from the
Ascendant, combined with or aspected by a malefic the partner-in-life will not survive in
spite of repeated marriages.

In Chart 3, Venus is in the 12th from the Ascendant with two malefics and is aspected by
Mars, another malefic. the native is extremely passionate and licentious and unhappy in
love. He married in his 31st year, but his wife died within 6 years; he had his second
marriage in his 38th year and his second wife also met with her death in his 47th year.
Venus in the 8th house is generally considered auspicious but when weak or afflicted by
malefics, denotes death due to rheumatism, tuberculosis or diabetes.
In Chart 4, Venus is in Taurus in the 8th from the Moon and is afflicted. Note the
association of Mars with Venus and the situation of Saturn in its 10th house. In the
Navamsa also, Venus is in Taurus itself associated with Mars and Ketu, and aspected by
the Sun and Rahu. The native was lustful and he married twice. His first wife died and
the second wife was sickly. His health was badly affected too much sexual indulgence; he
had urinary and bladder troubles besides rheumatic trouble, tuberculosis, and diabetes.
He passed away in his 55th year.
Venus in the 9th house makes one fortunate but he will be selfish. If he is in association
with Mars, the native will be cruel, insincere and averse to women. Venus in the 10th
house is considered good. It may make one a lawyer or judge and popular, social and
wealthy but it is not conducive to the growth of one’s family. If the 10th, the 7th, and the
4th are occupied by the Moon, Venus and malefics (in any order), the person may
destroy his family. This is called Vamsacheda Yoga.

In Chart 5, Venus is in the 10th, Ketu in the 7th and Saturn in the 4th from the Moon.
From the Ascendant, the 4th, the 7th, and the 10th are occupied by Ketu, Venus and the
Moon respectively. The native was a bar-at-law and a great lawyer and an influential man
in his locality but remained a bachelor throughout till his death. Venus in the 12th house
makes one licentious and low minded, fond of women, unprincipled and unhappy in
respect of two love – affairs. Chart 3 above is an example. Brihat Jataka says: “If Venus
occupies the 12th, joining the Navamsa of Saturn, the person becomes the son of menial
servant women”.
In the horoscope of a female, if Venus is between malefics or if Venus is associated with
or aspected by malefics or if malefics are in the 4th and the 8th from Venus, the native is
likely to become a widow early in life.
In Chart 6, both the Ascendant and Venus are aspected by Jupiter and as a result, the
native had an early marriage, but she became a widow the very next month. Note the
position of Venus between two malefics, the weak Moon and Ketu. Here Venus is also
aspected by Mars, hi the horoscope of a male if Venus is between malefics or if Venus is
not combined with or not aspected by benefics, the wife will be killed by fire, fall or
ropes. It is certain that under the strong influence of natural malefics, Venus loses almost
all his luster and good qualities and turns out to be malefic.
