The conjunction Ketu + Venus

Ketu + Venus means that the person worked with the energies of Venus in the past; he may have an inborn talent in the arts; he is unusual in love and eccentric in showing his emotions.

On the negative side it may give disappointments in love and in marriage. The native may rush from one extreme to the other, from a striving for comfort to severe austerity.

A native with the conjunction Ketu + Venus often prefers platonic love, especially when this combination takes place in Scorpio, Aquarius or Pisces. He prefers «universal love» — he loves everyone more than anyone in particular.

In the house where this combination stands, extremes often show themselves; if Ketu + Venus stands in the 2nd house, for instance, there may be tendencies from poverty to wealth.

An example: Ketu + Venus in the 2nd house in Cancer.

The Lagnesha Mercury stands in the 3rd house, in the same nakshatra pada as the atma-karaka Sun and Mars (in the nakshatra Uttara Phalguni — the Sun). This makes the native very enterprising, impulsive, domineering (the combination is in Leo) and irritable, but sociable.

The native is very emotional and vulnerable. The eyesight is weakened: Ketu and Saturn stand in the 2nd (the right eye) and the 12th (the left eye) houses, and Saturn influences Venus with Ketu by its 3rd aspect. Painful disappointments in the field of romantic relationships.

There are talents in the field of Venus (making short films, embroidery, staging plays).

There are no children, since Venus, the lord of the 5th house, is joined with Ketu. Venus stands in Pushya — a nakshatra of Saturn, which is in the 12th. This too complicates the theme of childbearing.

The influence of Ketu => Venus

Venus is stronger than Ketu — a deep and detailed understanding of relationships. An inner state of romance. Creative, conceptual thinking. Planning and analysis of social relations. The person thinks within the frame of his relations with people.

Venus is weaker than Ketu — a distorted understanding of love and of creative work. Sexual perversions. A closing off within one's own fantasies. Unclear creative ideas.

The influence of Venus => Ketu

Inner romantics and lyric poets. A boundless universe within. Emotions and states are most often visible only in the eyes. They prefer to keep silent and to wait until those around them guess at the hidden potential. They hide their love, and often suffer because of it. They suppress in themselves the wish to enjoy. They often consider themselves a victim in relationships. If they let their potential out into the open, they can create an enormous, far-reaching community.

(Roman Gavrilov)
