How did the tradition of worshipping Venus begin?
In the Puranas, Shukracharya is described as the guru of the demons – who obtained the knowledge of reviving the dead through penance.
For this reason, Venus is considered a symbol of vitality, happiness, and material prosperity.
In ancient times, kings, emperors, and artists worshipped Venus to maintain their wealth and ensure peace and happiness in their lives.
Gradually, the worship of Venus became associated with marriage, love relationships, and financial prosperity.
What problems arise when Venus is weak?
When Venus is in an unfavorable position in the horoscope, a person faces:
• Stress in relationships
• Dissatisfaction in marriage
• Financial difficulties
• Lack of charm
• Mental depression
• Imbalance in sensual pleasures
This is called Venus defect (Shukra Dosha).
