All benefic graha provide positive loving support to human life, but Shukra's "love" is not divine - it's inter-human. This is the ruling planet of Tula and Vrishabh rashi. It is a very important planet as it determines the quality of love relationships you may have in your life. The temperament you will share with your partner and the harmony in marriage is determined by this planet. Venus rules attraction to pleasures and distraction by pleasures. Shukra provides human sensual experience that claims our profound devotion and attention. It rules human-to-human contracts, love-making in the pursuit of mutual pleasure, and all forms of alliance for the purpose of enhancement of mutual interests (particularly mutual financial interests). It is also associated with luxury and lavishness. Shukra creates life experience of physical pleasure, luxury, and sensual indulgence. Yet, spiritually, Venus has a bad reputation as Asuraguru(demon’s teacher).

It’s worthwhile to mention that Venus will move retrograde (vakri) on July 25 and becomes direct on Sept 06, 2015, so it will remain retrograde for 43 days.

The spectrum of Venus is vast. It is associated with attraction / distraction, appreciation, pricing, preciousness, appraisal, deliciousness and delights, pleasures and pleasantries, wealth, natural resources, beauty, and harmonious relationships; attraction to the opposite sex, love, lust, affairs, romance, sex in all aspects, sexual and love happiness, wife and/or women, capacity to enjoy life and above all kalatra karaka.

We all are aware of the emotional differences between men and women. What men wished women knew about them and what women wished men knew about them is the science of love, beyond set rules. Male and female are different. Our brains are wired in a different way, our hormones are different and our emotional requirements are different. Men tend to do for women what men need and women do for men what women need. We tend to give what we want to receive. So, in the matter of relationships, they can often end up in frustrated state of bitterness and feel stuck, if there is lack of emotional understanding.

Aries

Whatever you do, do not plunge in before understanding the situation.
