Venus is a constructive planet, which is why it represents creativity, refined behaviour, good thought process, multiple talents and creative pursuits such as arts, music, dance etc. It represents unique ability of the mind to create something inimitable and beautiful. Whenever it is about good temperament and constructive thought process, Venus is the planet that blinks in my mind! Native with a well-placed Venus chooses to handle things in a constructive order in place of complaining or becoming destructive and pessimist.

When we choose to complain all the time in place of taking some definite actions about the problem, we unknowingly create a design filled with frustration and despair, which further disables us to think in the right order. When we complain all the time, our vision about overcoming the problem shrinks and we end up creating one large field for our problems to stay. When we complain, we unconsciously knock down our capability, inner strength and motivation with which we could have had attained victory over our troubles. This mindset gets us in a comfort zone, where compromising our own development, fighting spirit and valuable insights for solving the problem is preferred, since we find it a little easy and comforting. From our temperament to creativity, constant complaining can hamper lot many aspects in our lives. When we get addicted to complaining, we create a souk for multiple lower vibrations such as flawed thinking, dullness and vicious patterns. This altogether weakens our positive thinking and if we look at it astrologically, it weakens the energy of Venus. Venus is a creative planet and its energy guides us to do everything in an organised manner.

Strong Venus guides one with organisation of thoughts, creative elements and beautification of things. Habit of constant complaining sets a tone for downbeat outlook, where mind stops thinking in a constructive manner and chooses to stick to unhelpful modes of thinking and acting. Good Venus can represent an utterly beautiful mind, which loves to think and act in a unique way. Complaining can get in the way of these beautiful and unique thoughts. When you stop complaining and start acting more thoughtfully and responsibly towards your problem, followed by a constructive approach for solving issues in your life, you start attracting more of Venus’ energy, which helps to create good patterns in life.

Rahu and Ketu..any understanding about these two will never be enough.

When influence of Rahu increases in your life, one needs to work on increasing the properties of Jupiter. In short Jupiter represents stability, positivity, intelligence and wisdom. It is a defensive planet that protects us against the low forces and helps us to maintain balance. Now here if I need to talk about Rahu dasha and its impact, it somewhere brings down the property of Jupiter during its time. How? Try reading below-

Rahu represents confusion, illusion, delusion, mental distortion, distractions, tendency to waste time, tendency to imagine yourself as superior. And since it also represents high ambitions and desires, so alongside it will not be wrong to say that it represents less peace and more greed. Mostly all the karakatva of Jupiter seem to be getting affected during Rahu’s period. As per astrology’s very basic rule, good placement of Jupiter in a female’s chart represents good husband and marriage. Ever thought why it is the only planet that indicates balance in married life and sustenance? Because it represents peace and stability. If area of marriage is being influenced by strong Jupiter, girl will have a responsible partner by her side, with whom marriage will not be a struggle, it will somehow be a stable association. So in context of the question, it is important to increase the property of Jupiter, when Rahu’s effect can be seen as growing and interfering with the course of life. When Jupiter is strong Rahu’s energy will not be able to takeover your life. Jupiter represents clean thoughts and thoughtfulness and Rahu almost tries to kill it.

Ketu is a planet, which represents detachment and non materialistic version of life. When Ketu period hits, the best way to get rid of the the problem is to surrender rather than trying to take a control of any situation. In Ketu’s period, Ketu Shanti Pujan can help to some extent and there are so many remedies one of which is feeding dogs. Ever thought, why it has to be dog and not any other any animal. Because dog can be seen as the only animal who knows to love in an extremely selfless manner. Ketu tries to put you in a zone, where you need to forget about yourself and be of service to others. Feeding dog subsides the damage caused during its period because native is coming in close contact with a being(dog) that is all about selfless love. Ketu tends to bring disability in the materialistic and worldly course of life and cuts off several matters, which were not really meant to go ahead, matters that you were trying to control but were somehow not meant to last etc. Ketu will attack worldly matters during its time and promote spiritual progress by putting you in a dark phase and stage of isolation. In short, Ketu dasha can be a tough phase to handle at times, so for that praying to Lord Ganesha is suggested. We look at bhagwan Ganesh as Vigha Harta. All the obstacles that are intended during its period will take its way, but by believing in the energy of lord Ganesha, one can seek blessings for lessening the trouble.

Whether it is a Rahu or a Ketu Period, one needs to firstly observe the energy and role of these two planets and then moderate their actions and lifestyle likewise. Both remedy and the aforementioned suggestion when executed together will help native to survive these phases effectively.

Pleasing planets is not needed!

Your birth map can help you to understand many things about yourself right from your behaviour and composition to your overall approach towards life, including what you are likely to do and unlikely to do. So the journey is all about introspecting yourself and rectifying yourself by improving your mindset, actions and vision.

Let me explain it more clearly through some pointers here-

1. Let’s say you have a weak and an afflicted Saturn, which is indicating hurdles in your professional courses and career. So the advice here would be to stay very active when it comes to your profession, because lethargy can continue to create impediments and blockages in career. So here Saturn is ultimately asking you to become proactive with your actions when it comes to your profession and duty and do not be lazy for it can continue to aggravate problems when it comes to career and earnings.
2. Let’s say if you have a weak moon, which makes you emotionally imbalanced, then you should try to meditate often and make some serious lifestyle changes which can help you to offer emotional stability.
3. If you have a weak or an afflicted Sun, try to become more disciplined in day-to-day life. And if it is reflecting problems with father or authoritiy figure too, try to work on your relationship with them. In short try to bridge the gap.
4. If you have a weak Venus, try to groom yourself, stay in good shape, get into some creative courses and hold some set of hobbies and interests that can offer some creative and intellectual stimulation.

So the whole idea is revolving around what these planets are indicating and what is needed on our part to transform ourselves.

After considering your birth map, when you try to understand yourself and start working toward the requisites, you end up pleasing planets too 🙂

Rahu can never completely be good, and we need to understand this.

For its popular placement in trishdaaye bhaav ( 3rd, 6th, 11th) it is considered as good, but does that mean that native with any of the aforementioned placements of Rahu can be free from the perturbing sides of this planet? The answer is very clearly NO. Since trishdaaye bhaav represents our want, courage, efforts, enemies, diseases and materialistic pursuits/monetary gains respectively; Rahu’s placement there expands the results of these houses, for it is a planet which is intended towards fulfillment of desires and has got a winning attitude. But with this, it is nowhere stated that Rahu in the abovesaid houses will offer only good results. For example if you are surviving any dasha of Rahu, with the abovesaid placement, you may suffer from any kind of disability in the area of health, finance, job and general happiness. As far as your mental peace is considered, it can get affected, you may feel stuck, your growth can get impacted etc. But what is special with these placements, is that Rahu is a planet that indicates head full of desires and then technique to fulfill the same. So when Rahu is placed in either of the houses it will uplift the accomplishments attached to these houses, which ultimately works toward the betterment of native.

Rahu is not all good for anyone with any placement. Its good placement should not be mistaken with its smooth placement. Rahu is bound to offer its natural property to native during its time, which indicates certain negativities going on in the mental plane during its period.

Not necessarily a bad time for career, but it is a time which brings instability in life.

1. When Rahu and Ketu are running its period together native may go through various changes, in terms of career, like change of workplace, conflicts at workplace can also show up, since Ketu during its time is intended to take the property of sun, which is ego. So facing issues from superior’s side and politics in workplace are some common things that can popup during Rahu and Ketu period.
2. Rahu represents high desires and Ketu represents detachment and non materialistic version of life. Now when they are running their period together, native may try to run behind something, which he is not likely to get. The more he tries to take a hold of something, the lesser the chances to have that thing in his bucket.
3. Rahu offers confusion and Ketu tries to cut it off- Rahu’s energy overshadows native’s thinking ability and aggravates the level of desires, wherein Ketu tries to cut off the matters that native is trying to take a control of. With this thing, let’s say, someone enters into a new love relationship during Rahu Mahadasha and Ketu Antardasha. Now everything may look very promising in the beginning, and a person may feel absolutely perfect in that relationship. But just as few days pass, he will begin to feel that his relationship is taking a different shape, giving lot of stress and could be seen as ending. And all of a sudden, he examins a loss of relationship, which he thought will be working for him. But at last he will actually realise, that relationship was not good for him. As far as marriage is concerned, Rahu – Ketu period together has proved to be one of the periods that represents dissolution of marriage. Only the sound and true relations would be able to last in this period. If marriage or relationship have been going through a tough time since long it may come to an end, during this period.
4. When it comes to career specifically, Rahu may hit your head to make various choices. In this time, Ketu will also help you to look for something which is more meaningful and long lasting to you, rather than settling down with temporary tones of career choices, which are not a very great decision for you. So this period may result in shift of career, profiles and jobs.
5. Rahu and Ketu when running its period together can drain you mentally. Because a lot is happening inside your head, a lot of karmic baggage is getting cleared and a lot of progression is awaiting. So this particular period wants you to settle with whatever is going on with you, in place of rushing. Acceptance and transformation is something that this time will teach you.

Thanks!
