Venus Transit in Libra

Libra is Shukra's own sign, and its first fifteen degrees form the moolatrikona. Venus holds full command here for about twenty-five days, and the airy sign of balance suits a graha of exchange. Partnership runs smoothest during this stay.

Libra governs the waist, the kidneys, partnership and trade. In its own sign Venus gives fairness, taste and easy agreement, and marriage talk, contracts and artistic work all move well. Decisions stall where nobody is willing to displease.

The nakshatras are Chitra, Swati and Vishakha. Chitra, under Mars, opens with design and the wish to be seen. Swati, under Rahu, favours trade and independent dealing. Vishakha, under Jupiter, closes the stay with settled purpose and commitment.

Classical gochara counts Venus difficult only in the sixth, seventh and tenth from the natal Moon. Taurus, Aries and Capricorn Moons carry it in those houses through this stay. The other nine receive it well, and Libra Moons hold it in the first, the easiest position of their year for partnership.

A strong Venus makes keeping the peace a priority. Agreeing just to stay liked leaves an unease inside the relationship, so speak one honest difference kindly.

Settle agreements during Vishakha.
