Venus Mahadasha – The Basics
Venus is the planet of love, comfort, art and wealth, and its Mahadasha lasts 20 years — the longest of all planetary periods. A strong Venus during this time brings marriage, luxury and success, while a weak Venus asks for balance. It is especially favourable for Taurus and Libra ascendants, where Venus rules the chart.
Exalted vs Debilitated Venus
- Exalted Venus (in Pisces) — the Mahadasha is at its most powerful, bringing abundant love, wealth, comforts and happiness.
- Debilitated Venus (in Virgo) — the results may be reduced or come with challenges in love and comforts, which can be understood and remedied.
