3-6 : If Venus is in the sign of exaltation, own sign or in the exalted or own Navamsa, the Antardasa of Venus will bring forth construction of a new house; sweet with daily meals; pleasure of wife and children; meals with the friends; donation of food grains; inclination towards devoted deity, charity and religious deeds; vehicle with the blessings of the king; high profits in the business; gain of quadruped animals; visits towards the western side; acqui sition of clothes and vehicles.

लग्नाद्युपचये शुक्रे शुभग्रहयुतेक्षिते ।
मित्रांशे तुंगलाभे शयो गकारकसंयुते ॥ ७ ॥

राज्यलाभो महोत्साहो राजप्रीतिः शुभावहा ।
गृहे कल्याणसम्पत्तिर्दारपुत्रादिवर्द्धनम् ॥ ८ ॥

7-8 : When placement of Venus in the Upachaya houses. (3,6,10,11) duly conjoined with or aspected by the benefic planets, placed in the friendly Navamsa or having conjunction with the exalted planet, the lord of the 11th house or Yogakaraka planet, then its Antardasa will confer, gain from the king; great festivity; comforting from king's affection; enhancement of auspiciousness, welfare at home, wealth, wife and children.

षष्ठाष्टमव्यये शुक्रे पापयुक्तेऽथ वीक्षिते ।
चौरादिद्रणभीतिश्च सर्वत्र जनपीडनम् ॥ ९ ॥

राजद्वारे जनद्वेष इष्टबन्धु विनाशनम् ।
दारपुत्रादिपीडा च सर्वत्र जनपीडनम् ॥ १० ॥

9-10 : If Venus is posited in the Trik houses (6,8,12) and having conjunction or aspect of the malefic planets, it will bring about cruel effects like, fear of theft and injuries; public at large be in distress, general resentment amongst the officials of the kings' court (persons under command), destruction of co-borns, distress of wife, children etc.

द्वितीयद्यूननाथे तु स्थिते चेन्मरणं भवेत् ।
तत्र दुर्गाजपं कुर्याद्धेनुदानं च कारयेत् ॥ ११ ॥

11 : If Venus acquires the lordship of the 2nd or the 7th house, it will cause death in its Antardasa. For the alleviation of the evil effects, the Japa (जप) of Goddess Durga be undertaken and cow be given in charity.

Amongst the death inflicting planets (मारक ग्रह), Venus and Jupiter are at the top of the list and if Venus aquires the ownership of the 2nd or the 7th house in the nativity and also the affliction of unmalefic planets or in combusion, it will gain the propensity of inflicting death during its sub period.

There appears to be some kind of contradiction between the Shlokas 7 and 8 and Shlokas 9 and 10. According to Shlokas 7/8, Venus produces favourable results if situated in the Upachaya houses (3,6,10,11) and at the same time Shlokas 8/10 say that Venus is considered inauspicious in the Trik houses (6,8,12). Here only the 6th house is common among them. As per our experience, placement of planets in the 6th house is not good but the results of the planet (Venus), whether good or bad, would mainly depend upon the type of business or work being pursued by the native.

If Venus being the lord of the 10th house and posited in the 6th house and the native is a doctor, in which case the prosperity relating to his profession would turn out to be good. In the same manner, the placement of the 10th house lord, Venus in the 8th house would certainly cause excellent results in the business of leather goods, ivory or antique items. Further, Venus as a lord of the 10th house, if positioned in the 12th house and duly conjunct with the 12th house lord, it would boost up the import and export business. These contentions are quite illustrative in the following horoscope.

Example-70

In the birth Chart, Venus being the lord of the 10th house is situated in the 6th house and receiving the aspects of Jupiter and Mars. Venus is also in the sign of exaltation in the Navamisa Chart. Therefore, Venus duly located in the Upachaya house has gone into the exalted Navamsa. During the major period of Venus and also in its sub-period which operated from 9-1-1964 to 9-5-1967, the native completed his M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) and got employed as lecturer in a Medical College.
