Venus is an inner planet in the solar system which remains close to Sun as observed from the Earth. Venus cannot elongate more than 47 degrees from Sun. When a planet is extremely close to Sun it cannot be seen due to sun’s brilliance. This phenomenon is called combustion of planets. All the planets exercise gravitational pull to the Earth whether they are combust or not. When Venus is in between Earth and Sun and is combust it is retrograde also. When Venus is on the other side of Sun from Earth it moves fast (Atichari).
Results of planets are given according to the Nakshatra and sub lord they are placed in. Venus also gives results like this. I lay down certain examples to explain this:
For an example Venus is combust and is placed in First house in Aries Ascendant. As you know there are two and a quarter Nakshatras in every sign. First Naskhatra is Ashwini ( Ketu) up to 13 degrees 20 minutes , Second is Bharani ( Venus) upto 26 degrees 40 minutes and lastly Krittika ( Sun).
Let us assume that Venus is in Aries sign in Bharani Nakshatra and Saturn Sub lord. Instead of Bharani we will consider Venus, Lord of Bharani.
Planet Venus
Nakshatra Venus
Sub lord Saturn
Lets us assume Saturn is placed in house 11. Its therefore Venus will give results of 2,7 (lordship) 1(Position). Saturn will give results of 10,11 (Lordship) and 11 (Position).
The results of Venus will be as follows:
Planet Venus 1,2,7
Nakshatra Venus 1,2,7,
Sub lord Venus 10,11
Predictive results of Venus will be that Venus in its Dasa period is excellent for marriage as it signifies combination of marriage 2 , 7 , 11. It also signifies fairly good health. Education also is looks to be good. Venus is powerful for professional life also.
Let’s discuss another example of combust Venus in Ascendant or the first house in Aries Ascendant.
Venus is in Aries in (Bharani) Sun’s Nakshatra and Sun’s Sub lord.
Planet Venus
Nakshatra Sun
Sub lord Sun
Lets us assume combust Venus in house 1. Venus will give results of 2,7 (Lordship) and 1 (Position). Let us assume that Sun is also in Ascendant as Venus is close to Sun.
Results
Planet Venus 1,2,7
Nakshatra Sun 1,5
Sub lord Sun 1,5
Predictive results of Venus will be that Venus is weak for marriage as it signifies house 1 from Planet till sub lord. It also signifies house 5 which signifies person will be intelligent. Venus does not signify travel and is average for all the events of life.
Taking another example if combust Venus is in Pisces and also in the Ascendant.
Pisces sign has three Nakshatra lords Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury.
Let us take following example whereas
Venus is in Saturn’s Nakshatra and Moon’s Sub lord.
Planet Venus
Nakshatra Saturn
Sub lord Moon
Lets us assume Saturn is placed in house 11 and Moon is in 6th house. Its therefore Saturn will give results of12,11 (lordship) 11(Position). Moon will give results of 5 (Lordship) and 6 (Position).
Results
Planet Venus 1,3,8
Nakshatra Saturn 11,12
Sub lord Moon 5,6
Venus signifies bad health as it signifies houses 1,6,8,12 but shows some recovery also as it signifies houses 5,11. Education life looks to be up and down although more towards negative side. Venus signify travel also. It signifies bad professional career also as it signifies houses 5,6,8,12 more profoundly.
Similarly the results of Venus can be understood when Venus is in any sign or any house and is combust. There is not point wasting time on seeing planet is in any Avastha, Ashtakwarga, retrograde, exalted, Debilitated, own house etc. in addition to its combustion.
Natural significance of Sun can be transferred to Venus if Sun is also conjunct in addition to combustion. For example if Venus signifies getting a job then job can be related to Govt. sector as Sun signifies Govt. Authority.
