Venus in the 3rd House

Sahaj Bhav — siblings, courage, communication

Favourable Results

When Shukra (Venus) occupies the 3rd house (the Sahaja Bhava, the house of siblings, courage, and communication), the native (the person whose chart it is) is happy, honoured, wealthy, sweet-spoken, and majestic. He has a fondness for ever-new fashions. He takes an interest in the study of languages (bhasha shastra) and in painting (chitrakala) and the like, or at least makes efforts in these arts. His brothers, his kinsmen, and the other members of his family remain happy. He is blessed with sons. He generally conducts himself according to his wife's wishes. His wife, for her part, is pativrata (utterly devoted to her husband), and like an ox she shares the burden of his labours, lending her hand to all his work.

Unfavourable Results

The native is miserly, timid, lacking in enthusiasm, irritable, and handsome. People in his own community do not care for him. He suffers from diseases of the eyes and the ears. Between husband and wife the relationship is ordinary and indifferent; yet the native loves women, and other men's women in particular, because there is always some woman or another who is ready to lay down her life for him. For this reason he is forced to walk in submission to his own wife. He is unhappy on account of his son as well. Throughout life he remains defeated because of his enemies, and he suffers loss of wealth.
