As per Astronomy, Venus is the next
in proximity to the Sun from Mercury. It is one of the hottest planets
of our solar system.
In astrology, the planet of Venus is considered to be the guru of demons.
Hence, Venus is also thought to be associated with luxuries and materialistic
comforts.
In astrology, Venus is also the natural significator of spouse, happiness,
sexual sciences, poetry, flowers, youth, ornaments, silver, vehicles,
luxuries and different forms of emotions among other things. Venus primarily
signifies beauty and hence it promotes beauty-related ventures.
In astrology, Venus rules the zodiac signs of Taurus and Libra. The
sign of debilitation of Venus is Virgo and the sign of exaltation of
Venus is Pisces.
As based on the horoscope the malefic or benefic effect of the planet
Venus is determined in relation to a person astrologically and not merely
on the basis of exaltation or debilitation because under certain conditions
even a debilitated Venus can give beneficial effects whereas based on
its position and degrees in the horoscope even an exalted Venus can
sometimes give malefic effects.
As we have explained in our astrology research article “ What
is Mantra” Mantras can be classified under two broad categories:
-
1. Tantrik Mantras ( Beeja Mantras)
2. Vedic Mantras
Therefore, chanting of Tantrik or Vedic Mantra of the concerned planet
1,25,000 times or its half, 62,500 times reduces the malefic effects
of that planet. In Panchangas, this number of times for the chanting
of mantra for the Venus is given as 6,000 when by chanting only 6,000
times the Mantra of the Venus nothing substantial can be achieved and
it is 1,25,000 times chanting alone which can give proper results.
The Tantrik Mantra (Beej Mantra) of the Venus: -
"Om Draam Dreem Draum
Sah Shukraya Namah"
The Vedic Mantra of the Venus: -
Om Annatparisruto Rasambrahmavyapivvat
Kshatrampayah Somamprajapatih
Ritensatyamindriyamvvipaanam Shukramandhasyaa Indrayendriyami Dampatyoamritammadhu
Shukraya Namah
The Venus can be propitiated from either kind of mantras but among
these Tantrik Mantras ( Beeja Mantras) are more popular. By undertaking
this “Anushthana” ( Puja & Homa{ Ritual of Chanting
of Mantras}) one can remove the malefic effects of the Venus especially
when performed in the Major Period ( Mahadasha) or Sub-Periods ( Antar
Dashas) of the Venus.
