Venus (Shukra)
Venus is a beneficent
planet which rules sex and sensuality, love and
marriage, material comfort and luxury. Singers and
dancers, artists and craftsmen, actors and prostitutes,
and other professions involved in entertaining people
are strongly influenced by Venus's sensual energy. A
person with a strong Venus in his or her horoscope tends
to have a happy marriage, enjoy material comforts, is
optimistic and charismatic, makes others happy, and
moves with physical grace and coordination. Diplomats
and peacemakers are often governed by Venus. Venus is
associated with flowers, jewels, and other beautiful
objects, as well as semen, sweet foods and flavors,
tropical climates, sexual activity, nice clothes, and
various other sensual pleasures. People with a powerful
Venus often experience distress of the excretory system
due to overindulgence in food and drink.
When Venus is exalted
one will be humanitarian, long-lived and possess many
good qualities. But if the position of Venus in one's
horoscope is weak or afflicted, one becomes vulnerable
to loss of libido, impotence and sterility, venereal
(lit. of Venus) complaints, and rapid aging. INDIGO is
the cosmic color transmitted by diamonds and other
colorless gems. This color influences all watery
elements in the body, especially mucous and sperm. Venus
astral talismans are known to induce purity of body and
mind, confer artistic talent and worldly happiness,
strengthen the bones, and improve the quality of all
bodily secretions, such as mucous, hormones, and semen.
The Sanskrit name for the planet Venus is "Shukra"
which also means "semen."
Venus transmits its
cosmic energy through diamonds, quartz crystals,
zircons, goshenites, white topaz, white sapphires, and
other colorless gemstones with clear transparency.
Various subtle hues such as pink, yellow and blue tints
are suitable for different types of professions and
social positions, as long as the gem is void of solid
color.
NOTE: As Venus is
incompatible with the Sun and Moon, diamonds and other
colorless gems should not be used with rubies or pearls.
Specifically designed talismans like the Navaratna (nine
gems setting) are an exception to this principle.
The particular hue or
type of tinted colorless gems recommended for each
desired social-religious-economic station of society are
listed as follows:
1. Religious
practitioners, scientists and educators should use
white;
2. Soldiers,
administrators, politicians and bureaucrats can use
pinkish;
3. Farmers, bankers and
traders should use yellowish;
4. Servants, laborers
and workers should use blue to blackish.
