FACTORS INFLUENCING VENUS ANTARDASHA
Position of Venus in the Birth Chart: If Venus is in a strong, favorable position (like in its own sign, exalted, or in good aspects), the period will generally be more positive and bring benefits related to wealth, relationships, and creative expression.
Benefic vs. Malefic Influence: If Venus is weak or placed in a malefic house (such as the 6th, 8th, or 12th house), the period can bring challenges in these areas, manifesting as issues in relationships, financial difficulties, or health problems related to indulgence.
Planetary Aspects: The aspects formed by Venus with other planets in the chart also play a key role. For example, Conjunction with Jupiter could lead to a highly beneficial Venus Antardasha, whereas a conjunction with Saturn might bring delays and challenges in the areas Venus governs.
