Venus is considered as a natural benefic planet in vedic astrology.
It behaves like functional benefic for few ascendants and for few it behaves like functional malefic.
Its a karaka for all kind of luxuries in life.
when the native starts running his venus mahadasha , antardasha then the common myth is that the native start experiencing all good things in life as venus is the significator of luxury , comfort etc and if the planet venus is in exalted state then its most likely that its going to be good period for the native.
So people usually think about planet venus is that it has a good reputation.
MYTH BUSTER EXAMPLE
Native's venus placement in D1 birth chart is something like mentioned below :
Venus is in pisces.
Its considered the best placement for venus .
Its in its exalted state means at its highest dignity.
Its in uttarabhadra nakshatra pada 2.
Its in pushkara navamsa considered as auspicious.
its in pushkara bhag degree considered as auspicious degree placement.
So if you look at all the above points then you can see that the venus placement is really good if we ignore the conjunction , aspects and which house its placed since we are only considering planet venus here.
But this placement is not going to give the native desired results which is usually promised by planet venus and let me tell you why ?
WHY ???
If you know little advance knowledge of vedic astrology then you will know that if the planet falls in uttarabhadra nakshatra pada 2 then its going to be in the chitra nakshatra of virgo sign in navamsa chart D9.
Venus in virgo is considered debilitated that means at its lowest dignity.
So its more important to check the placement in D9 navamsa chart.
Planet exalted in D1 and debilitated in D9 is not considered good.
Planet debilitated in D1 and exalted in D9 is considered good.
Planet exalted in D1 and exalted in D9 is considered very good.
Not to forget that conjunctions , aspects , ashtakvarga points has their own affects.
