He will be liked by women, will be wealthy and learned. If Venus is in conjunction with a benefic, the native will have a lustrous body shining like gold and will own many ornaments. If Venus is associated with of aspected by a malefic or is in his sign of debilitation (Virgo), the native will be a thief and a cheat and will suffer from rheumatic and phlegmatic diseases. If the lord of the first is associated with Rahu the native will suffer from hydrocil. If Venus is in the ascendant and the fourth house is occupied by a benefic, the native will own elephants (conveyances) and enjoy high prosperity. If Venus is in his own sign (Taurus or Libra) the native will enjoy Maharaja yoga (great name, fame and wealth). If Venus is lord of the 8th, 6th or 12th.house or is weak, the native will have two wives, his fortune will be fluctuating and he will be hard hearted.

If Venus is lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the native will suffer from evil effects. If Venus is in his own sign (Taurus or Libra) the native will enjoy Maharaja yoga. For Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, Venus is a yoga karaka planet, being lord of 2nd and 9th houses, lord of 5th and 10th-houses, and lord of 4th and 9th houses, respectively. Such Venus in the ascendant will prove immensely beneficial to the native and bring him, name, fame, wealth, conveyances and all worldly comforts. If Venus in the ascendant (Lagna Kendra) is in his sign (Taurus or Libra) or in his sign of exaltation, Malavya yoga (a Panch Mahapurusha yoga) will be formed:-“The person will have a well developed physique, will be strong minded, wealthy, happy with children and wife, will command vehicles, endowed with clean sense organs and be renowned and learned.”

Venus in the Second House
The native will be wealthy, will have a family, will get good food to eat, will have attractive eyes and will be of humble nature, kind hearted and helpful to others. He will get a beautiful wife in his 32nd year. If the lord of the second is weak or is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the native will suffer from eye troubles. If Venus is associated with Moon (while the lord of the 2nd is in 6th, 8th or 12th), the native will suffer from night blindness, without any family and sufferer of eye troubles and will squander away his wealth.

Venus will give still better results if he is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, in the second house. When Venus is in Taurus, the ascendant will be Aries and he will be in the 2nd, as lord of 7th and 2nd houses. If he is in Libra, the ascendant will be Virgo and he will be in the 2nd as lord of 9th and the 2nd houses.
