Venus is known to be the planet of love. It governs the creative and expressive aspects of an individual like sex, romance, beauty, music, dance and recreational activities. This planet is the governing ruler of two zodiac signs namely; Taurus and Libra. Venus is also symbolized as the planet of wealth, love, attraction, prosperity and knowledge.

Venus is the brightest and shining planet in the sky. It is also known with another name “Morning Star” and is easily visible when it is seen early in the morning in the north direction. It is known to be the most glorious and luminous planet in our solar system.
Venus as a Benefic Planet:
In Vedic Astrology, Venus or ‘Shukra’ as it is commonly known, is one of the four benefit planets. Shukra represents romance, love, artistic qualities, sexuality, love for materialistic things, pleasure and reproduction, fine qualities like painting and sculpture, music, dance and feminine qualities. If Venus is placed favorably in the horoscope 2018, it can bring happiness, success, health and abundant wealth.

Venus is said to have friendly relations with planets Mercury and Saturn. But, it is considered that it is unfriendly with Sun and Moon. A well placed Venus in combination with other planets like Sun and Moon can have a positive influence in the horoscope and life of the native. There could also be some evil and negative effects of Venus if it is ill-placed with the combination of enemy planets in the horoscope of the native.
As Guru of Asuras:
