Shukra in Lagna Bhava for different Lagnas

Shukra graha is the lord of beauty and harmony. When it occupies the lagna it confers beautiful eyes and face and an handsome physique and appearance. Being a Shubha graha, its occupation of the Lagna blesses one with happiness and long life. Being a master seducer it makes one attractive to females. But it gives timidity as well! Given below are the results of Shukra’s placement in the Lagna holding various Rasis.

1. Mesha Lagna: Shukra is the lord of 2nd and 7th. While it is a key planet for wealth and trade, it is also a powerful maraka. Mangal and Shukra are neutral to each other, however, Shukra is specifically inimical to Mesha Rasi, hence its placement here can cause health troubles. On a positive note, Shukra blesses the native with a handsome appearance. The natural characteristics of Shukra are fully granted here, making the native soft natured, learned, full of joy and sensuality. The combination of Shukra’s energies with that of fiery Mangal and Surya makes the native good in poetry and having a keen taste of fine arts. Shukra is the karaka for eyes and also being the 2nd lord and its placement in the Mesha Lagna can cause weak-sightedness. This is especially true when it conjoins Neecha Shani in the Lagna, which can cause blindness right from birth. Shukra is a maraka for this lagna, and its placement in the lagna alone can prove a maraka in his own dasa bhuktis. However, being a Shubha graha in the lagna, and also being the karaka for the life giving mrtyunjaya mantra, he wards of the danger to life in the dasas of other grahas.
2. Vrsha Lagna: For Vrsha Lagna, Shukra is both good and bad, being the lord of Lagna and the 6th house. The lordship of 6th house always carries some blemish even if it happens to be the lord of a Kendra or Kona. Lagnesha in the Lagna generally gives good health throughout life. But the 6th lordship can’t be ignored, which causes susceptibility towards urinary diseases and venereal diseases. Shukra being the karaka for eyes, its placement in the Lagna, being the 6th lord can also cause minor vision defects. Occupation of the 6th lord in the Lagna, representing head can indicate injuries and wounds on the head. If there is affliction by other krura-grahas, there can be injuries in the entire body. Shukra in the Lagna, being in its own Rasi can cause Malavya yoga, but the results of this yoga is more predominant when Shukra occupies the 4th house in Dikbala while being in its Sva or Uccha Rasi. The results of Malavya yoga is thin lips, even physique, thin waist, splendour that of Chandra, majestic voice, pleasant body odour, piercing sight, even and white teeth etc. and he is bestowed with an authoritative position.
3. Mithuna Lagna: Shukra and Budha are friends, hence Shukra’s placement in this Lagna should be auspicious. Shukra is the lord of 5th and the 12th house, 5th being its Mulatrikona, is a functional benefic no doubt. But the 12th lordship will also play some part. The native usually has a short or moderate height, but is blessed with an attractive appearance. The occupation of Shukra being the 5th lord in the Lagna confers high intelligence. Shukra being a Shubha graha, its occupation blesses the native with a strong immune system and a long-life. Mithuna being Rahu’s Uccha Rasi, is a highly materialistic Rasi, hence Shukra being the graha of material pleasures and also the lord of manas (5th), its placement here makes one enjoy the worldly pleasures to the fullest. Budha is the graha of learning and Shukra is a Guru and the knower of all shastra, it being the lord of knowledge (5th), it confers talent in poetry, writing etc. There could be a mole on the face which may add to the beauty.
4. Karka Lagna: For Karka Lagna, Shukra is the lord of a Kendra and Labha. When a Kendradhipati also rules a Trishadaaya, it becomes a functional malefic. If that graha is also a Shubha graha, then it becomes a dire malefic due to kendradhipatya Dasa. However, since placement in teh Lagna cause cancellation of the Kendradhipatya dosa, shukra can’t be negative on that count. But nonetheless, the 11th lordship of Shukra can cause troubles and diseases. 11th lord also behaves like 6th lord due to Bhavat Bhavam. The native can suffer from urinary or water based diseases or mental anxiety of problems. But this can be remedied if Guru conjoins or aspects Shukra, which then becomes a great yoga for wealth and fortune, especially through legacy and sudden gains.
5. Simha Lagna: Shukra and Surya are highly inimical towards each other but surprisingly the results are mostly positive. Shukra being the lord of Surya’s Neecha Rasi, its strength is important for Surya to function smoothly. Simha being a Agni Rasi, Shukra placed here gives a handsome and attractive appearance. Due to the combined energies of Shukra and Surya, the native is charitable but spendthrift. Shukra’s aspect on Kumbha in the 7th promises a happy married life and cordial relationship with wife. Surya is the king and Shukra is an advisor, a key combination which catapults the native to be the chief among his people. This position also gives great fame, which is even better if Guru aspects with its 5th and 9th aspect. Conjunction with Budha, the 2nd and 11th lord makes the person known in the field of knowledge, literature etc. and confers honours, titles etc. Shukra. All the good things come with a minor cost, some diseases pertaining to watery and fiery element in the body i.e., those pertaining to Kapha and Pitta.
6. Kanya Lagna: Shukra neecha in the Kanya Lagna is not auspicious at all. The results are miserable on all counts. Shukra is the lord of 2nd and the 9th and the debility of the 9th lord is quite adverse, indicating many difficulties in life. The native is the repository of many diseases. The neecha of bhagyesha indicate that the the native is of vicious nature and indulges in evil deeds. However, all these weaknesses are removed when Shukra attains neecha-bhanga. Also, if Shukra is placed in a Shubha Navamsa, the results are less negative. Also aspect of Guru removes all the evils.
7. Tula Lagna: For Tula Lagna, Lagnesha Shukra is also the 8th lord, whose placement in the Lagna is not conducive to long life. However, it is said in Laghu Parashari that when the lagnesha also becomes 8th lord, its placement in own sign removes the blemish of 8th lordship. Hence, this placement of Shukra can be considered auspicious. The native can become famous, a great advisor, minister or a leader. Tula being the Rasi for business trade and commerce, the native can attain success in this fields. However, the 8th lordship of Shukra will always give results in a very sudden and unpredictable manner. If Shukra is afflicted by other Krura grahas, there can be diseases such as urinary troubles or venereal diseases.
8. Vrschika Lagna: Shukra is the lord of 7th and the 12th house and and is not well placed in Vrschika Lagna. Vrschika being the place of Neecha for Chandra and the natural 8th house, it is not good for life. Shukra being the giver of longevity, its placement in Vrschika does not help much. The native is usually given Short-life by Shukra, which can be increased by the other grahas. Being the 12th lord, this indicate heavy expenditure, especially in childhood, perhaps in health matters. There could be diseases on account of deficiency of the immune system. The aspect of Shukra on the 7th house on its own Rasi, can only grant moderate happiness from marriage. Why? because its ability to grant happiness is curtailed due to its placement in the Navamsa.
9. Dhanu Lagna: Shukra is neutral towards Guru as it gets Uccha in Meena Rasi. Here, Shukra is the lord of 6th and 11th, a dire functional malefic for this Lagna. However, due to is placement in a Shubha Rasi, some good results are obtained. Especially in the financial matters, the native is blessed with abundant wealth and fortunes. The native is handsome and attractive in appearance, highly learned and famous, all due to combined energies of two Shubha grahas. However, due to the functional maleficence of Shukra, there will be frequent health troubles. Thus, there is a cost to the good things experienced in life due to this position of Shukra. It is easy to notice that Shukra gives excellent results being in Agni Rasis in the Lagna, although, there is a cost attached to it.
10. Makara Lagna: Perhaps the best position of Shukra is in the lagna ruled by Shani, as here Shukra becomes the yogakaraka. For Makara Lagna, Shukra is the lord of 5th and 10th house, hence a superb yogakaraka. Its placement in the Lagna blesses the native with great wealth and fortune right from birth. In addition, thanks to the vivaha karaka Shukra and the lordship of mantra bhava (trines= wealth), the wife brings added fortunes after marriage. Thus from a financial front, there is no troubles to native with this yoga, as there is influx of wealth throughout life. However, like always one needs to judge the navamsa placement as well to get the complete picture. If Shukra is neecha in Kanya Navamsa, the native will see utter poverty in the last leg of life.
11. Kumbha Lagna: Another Shani Lagna where Shukra gives outstanding results. Shukra is a yogakaraka being the lord of 4th and 9th, hence placement in the lagna in a friendly Rasi confers the native with abundant wealth and fortune. On more positive note, the native is modest as Shani being the karaka for servants indicate modesty. The influence of the 9th lord on the Lagna makes the native highly learned and highly fortunate.
12. Meena Lagna: Besides the Lagna ruled by Shani, another Lagna where Shukra gives just outstanding results is the Meena Lagna, where Shukra attains uccha. The native is born with a silver or golden spoon. He also enjoys a long lifespan. However, not everything is positive here as Shukra is the lord of 3rd and 8th house. Thus there is a strong 8th house energy on the lagna making the native reckless, risk prone, secretive and even prone to bad thoughts, provided there is influence of some other krura grahas. Shukra being the 8th lord can cause danger to the life if its dasa operates at birth. But being uccha it offers protection, which means, that with some remedies and good care, the danger can be averted.
