Venus Transit in Aquarius, Know the Effects

Venus’ transit will bring economic prosperity for natives, and contribute positively in bringing forward radiance and love. Read how will it affect your horoscope!

According to Vedic Astrology, Venus planet is considered the determining factor of beauty, music, dance and other activities associated with art and culture. It also determines lust, passion and other worldly desires. It is also the ruling lord of zodiac signs Taurus and Libra. It remains in an exalted position in Pisces and in a debilitated position in Virgo. Mercury and Saturn are known to be friendly planets but the Sun and Moon are its grave enemies. A particular planet remains weak in the company of its rival planet. If it conjuncts with a friendly one, it becomes powerful. Venus is also the ruling lord of Nakshatras like Bharni, Purva phalguni and Purvashada. 

If Venus is placed in the second, third, seventh and twelfth house in a native’s Kundali, it attains strength and brings forward favorable results. On the contrary, if it is placed in the eighth and sixth house, then it becomes weak and bears negative results in the lives of the natives. In the other respective houses, it produces ordinary outcomes. With the positive influence of Venus, natives get their worldly desires fulfilled. The native gains fame and popularity as his/her artistic skills get refined and which also helps him/her in attracting the attention of someone from the opposite gender. Venus’ positive influence also enhances intimacy in one’s life. But if Venus is in a debilitated position in one’s Kundali, then it can give birth to repercussions like acne problems, impotency, indigestion, loss of appetite and many other skin problems.

How To Curb The Ill Effects Of Venus?

Astrological remedies not only help in curbing the ill effects of Venus, but also strengthening the positive influence of Venus. The installation of Shukra Yantra by following rituals and offering prayers can make the planet powerful. Along with it, stones like American Diamond are also worn to strengthen the power of Venus.

Holi Special: Find Your Lucky Colour As Per Your Zodiac Sign & Make This Holi Special

This Holi, play with colours according to your zodiac sign and resolve your problems!!

The festival of colours, Holi is celebrated all over India with great energy and ardour. It is believed that during this festival, people let go of their differences and heartily embrace each other. The negative aspects of life also get wiped out along with the colours. According to the Hindu Panchang, Holi is celebrated on the Pratipada of Chaitra month during Krishna Paksha. Many times, Holi (Dhulandi or Vasant Utsav) is celebrated on the very first day, if Pratipada stretches for two days. This festival is celebrated to mark the arrival of spring, which brings back all the lively colors to nature. Holi is celebrated to honour this gift of Spring to nature. In the North Indian state of Haryana, Holi is also known as Dhulandi. 

Why Holi is Celebrated?

Sky, earth, water, fire and air are the primary elements essential for the formation of life on Earth and these basic elements are combined through the medium of Yagna. When the Earth was in its emerging stage and lacked a heartbeat, then Lord Vishnu manifested himself in Treta Yuga. During this time only, seven hermits acknowledged the importance of Yagya in their dreams after which they started making preparations for the Yagya. They initiated the Yagya under the supervision of Narad Muni. As the mantras were being chanted, Vishnu Tatva emerged from the Yagya along with the fire flames which eradicated all the negative energies from earth. Fear creped in between these negative entities but they were unable to figure out their source of destruction. After this, Lord Vishnu’s complete avatar was manifested in front of the saints and hermits. This day of Lord Visnu’s manifestation is also known as Phalguna Purnima. It becomes clear that Holi is celebrated in remembrance of the first Yagya ever conducted in the Treta Yuga. There are multiple legends associated with Holi mentioned in Hindu Dharmashastras.
