Venus Homam

Who is Lord Shukra or Venus?

Lord Shukra, or Venus, is the son of Rishi Bhrigu and Kavyamata. In Sanskrit, Shukra means ‘bright’ or ‘pure’. Lord Shukra is considered the Guru (preceptor) of the Asuras (demons). He is closely associated with beauty, love, marriage, spouses, sex, passion, luxury, art, happiness, and money. Venus plays a significant role in human life, with importance for material success. Venus helps people achieve name and fame in their life periods. Venus rules the three Nakshatras (stars) - Purva Phalguni (Pooram), Bharani, and Purva Ashadha (Pooradam).

Venus spends one month on each planet and takes one year to complete its whole cycle. Malefic Venus or Shukra may cause hardships in life. Performing the Venus Homam bestows peace, prosperity and long life on individuals.

How is Lord Shukra Portrayed?

Lord Shukra is often depicted as calm with a radiant appearance in silver/white colour. He rides a chariot drawn by horses or a white horse. He is seated in a dignified posture.

When Venus is strong in an individual’s birth chart, they can be wealthy, happy and have a harmonious relationship with their partner. The malefic Shukra can cause imbalances in these aspects.

As Venus governs harmony, attraction, and romantic connections, one can succeed in love and relationships by attracting his blessings. He is also responsible for material comforts, beauty, and enjoyment of worldly pleasures.
