• Over-investment in longevity at the cost of balance elsewhere.
• The benefic side of Venus straining the affairs of reproductive and excretory organs, chronic conditions.

Venus treats house results best when dignified; check whether it is exalted, in its own sign, or debilitated in your chart. These are tendencies, not verdicts. Aspects, the sign involved and the running Dasha decide how strongly they show.

Career and finance: Venus here ties professional energy to the matters of longevity, which in turn shape earning and reputation. Channel love into one clear path.

• Honour Lakshmi / Shukracharya on Friday with simple, sincere worship.
• Keep the affairs of longevity ethical and steady, which pleases Venus.
