Venus Mahadasha
The longest benefic period — 20 years of love, marriage, luxury, wealth and the arts.
Venus Mahadasha effects
The Venus Mahadasha is the longest period of all — 20 years — ruled by the great benefic of love, beauty and pleasure. It activates marriage, romance, luxury, comfort, wealth, vehicles, the arts and all the sweetness of worldly life. For most people it is one of the most enjoyable and materially rewarding of the major periods.
The degree of its blessings depends on Venus’s strength and placement, but Venus rarely turns actively harmful. At its best it brings marriage, prosperity, luxury and artistic success; at its weakest, over-indulgence, relationship troubles or health issues of the reproductive system and kidneys.
When it is favourable
When Venus is strong — exalted in Pisces, in its own Taurus or Libra, a Yogakaraka (as for Capricorn and Aquarius Ascendants), or well-placed — the period brings marriage, romance, wealth, luxury, vehicles, comforts and success in the arts, beauty or relationships.
When it is challenging
When Venus is weak, debilitated (Virgo), combust or afflicted, the period can bring over-indulgence, relationship or marital difficulties, and health issues of the reproductive system, kidneys or the throat.
