If Venus is your DaraKaraka, then your spouse is going to be producing Venus-like things in your life. The strength of Venus and its aspects will determine to what degree your spouse brings the good qualities of Venus. With a Venus DaraKaraka, your spouse will either have Venus strong/prominent in their chart, or signs of Libra and Taurus could be their Sun, Moon, or Lagna.
Venus Darakaraka will give a spouse who keeps things peaceful in the relationship and will bring an appreciation of life’s comforts. They will teach you how to “take it easy” and be more fair-minded. Venus is described as being “splendid” in appearance, thus Venus Darakaraka gives a spouse that you have a high level of attraction to. With this Darakaraka, appearances are important to you and you really want a spouse who values romance and sensuality. In your relationships and marriage, you really value balance.
Venus has a lot of worldly knowledge. Venus is concerned with wealth, relationships, and making decisions that lead to greater fulfillment. If your Venus is in good dignity, then listen to your spouse’s advice, especially on Venusian things (social issues, purchasing decisions, etc.) Overall, Venus Darakaraka is a caretaker, diplomatic, and sensual.
Now, check the rasi and bhava your Venus is placed in. These placements give further detail about the personality of your spouse. For example, if your Darakaraka is in the 9th, they’ll be a teacher or from a foreign country. Darakaraka in the 12th can also mean they’re from a foreign country. If placed in the 5th, your spouse will be creative, romantic, or very focused on children. Know the meaning of the bhava and bhava sign and apply it to your Darakaraka.
Check Venus DaraKaraka in D7 and D9 divisional charts
Venus is an important planet to look at in the D9, whether it’s your DaraKaraka or not. This is because Venus is the natural Karaka for relationships and represents our married life in the Navamsa. Venus is also the natural Karaka for spouse in a man’s chart. A good Venus shows whether you and your spouse are committed towards a mutual purpose, and whether or not your spouse will support your path in life.
The dignity of Venus in the D7 tells more attraction and enjoyment you have with your spouse. It shows the fun, creative, and romantic fulfillment rather than the dharmic compatibility and commitment to the marriage path.
If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, read my article that explains how to figure out what planet is your DaraKaraka.
Hi,
This was a nice read ! Thank you for this!
My darakarka venus is conjunct mars in Gemini in 8th house mutually aspected by Jupiter in saggitarius. My 7th lord is venus also. Is there anything you could say about this ?
Thank you !
Janani
Hi Janani, I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s good that your Venus DK is in a friendly sign, and Jupiter’s direct aspect is helping. Any time the 7th lord or Darakaraka is in a Dusthana house (in your case, the 8th house) I am hesitant to say anything without the full chart and Divisional charts being looked at. Some Astrologers will be very quick to jump to negative conclusions. But, based on what you said you can expect your spouse to also have Mercurial qualities since your DK is in Gemini. Since it’s in the 8th house (with is naturally ruled by Mars) and also conjunct Mars, Mars will also be a significant part of their personality. The 8th house can give some dramatic ups and downs in your relationships, benefits from your spouse’s assets, or just a partner who is interested in the occult/research or helps your own transformation. Maintain your sexual boundaries and don’t let anyone pressure you into anything. Peace <3
Hi Brooke,
Thank you soo much for your reply ! This was really helpful and I really appreciate this!
I also noticed that the men I attract or date tend to be very secretive, private and financially stable. Could this be because of the 8th house involvement ?
Also, regarding divisional charts,in D9 my DK venus is in 2nd house in Capricorn and in parivartana yoga with Saturn in libra in 11th house. Jupiter representing the spouse is my Putrakaraka sitting in 9th house in Leo in d9.
I am really interested to see what you would be able to tell from this ? I am still trying to work out !
Thank youuu!!!!
God bless 🙂
Janani
Hi again Janini, sorry your reply appeared a few days late – it was filtered by spam for some reason.
7th lord and/or Darakaraka connections with the 8th house can definitely give mysterious and private partners or even relationships that are kept secret. It’s not surprising that a Scorpio Lagna with lagna lord in 8th is attracted to mysterious men! Haha
Regarding your Navamsa, Your DK is in a friend’s sign in D9, and yes as you pointed out there is a parivartana yoga happening between the wealth houses. Since you also have Jupiter in own sign in 2nd in your Rasi chart, there seems to be a few different indications of having material comforts in your life, (though perhaps fluctuating). Your Jupiter in D9 is well placed and in a friendly sign – this gives a productive spouse who will, most of the time, meet your needs and be an enjoyable partner.
Many Blessings!
Hello Brooke,
Sorry for the late response – just noticed today that you had replied !
Thank you so much for this !
You mentioned D7 in your darakarka articles too so I had a look at the placement of jupiter (husband) and my darakarka venus in my d7: venus is in leo in 12th house and jupiter is in 7th house in pisces, 5th house has mercury and 11th has sun and moon conjunct in cancer – anything you could tell from this ?
thank youuuu !!!
God Bless!
Janani
I have venus as my DK..and venus is in 5th in libra…my gf has moon mars in taurus in 5th too…
Hii Janani!
Great article! Didn’t find any other explanation like this on the internet 🙂 wanted to ask you, if my venus atmakaraka is in aquarius in 4th house conjuncted by saturn and aspected by mars and rahu is there posibility that my spouse can be violent or shady since my venus is in d9 in gemini in 8th house?? Cause it doesn’t sound warm to me :O what do you think?? 🙂 thank you so much
i am a cancer ascendant..my 7th lord is saturn and is in 8th house…and my darakaraka is venus but again its is debilitated as it is in virgo ..
my DOB is 7-8-1994…
will i not get married…
OM namo zrI sUryAya!
Great article filled with a lot of Truth! I am a Sagittarius lagna, with Jupiter my lagneza in the First House and retrograde.
Venus is my DK, becoming the 6th & the 11th Lord, conjunct the 7th Lord Mercury (Despositor of AK Sun in Gemini!), in Cancer, the 8th House, aspected by their despositor the Moon from Capricorn, and exalted Saturn from Libra. He is further aspected through rAzi dRSTi by exalted Rahu in Taurus & exalted Ketu in Scorpio. Furthermore, He is debilitated in navamza with His enemy the Moon!
Some hard Karma with respect to relationships; hard time expressing emotions; sexuality remains hidden; strong & mysterious attractions; my sole purpose in this life is finding the One.
I hope I shed some more light on this article.
Thanks.
Very interesting information and thank you for sharing. It’s so helpful when people share how their Astrological influences are playing out in their lives. The first-hand experience is the most valuable information.
Hello Brooke ! I hope you are doing well. Thank you for such a great piece of article. I really loved it. I do have Venus Darakaraka, and my venus is in 2nd house. What does it imply? Can you please help me ? Additionally, I have Gemini Ascendant.
Hello,
Thank you for this insightful post. My Venus is my Darakaraka in the 8th house in leo conjuct Sun. They are both Magha nakshatra (Venus Pada 1 and Sun Pada 2). Can you say anything good about this position?
Thanks again
DK in Dusthanas usually aren’t easy, but at least its lord is strong. DK has to be evaluated in D7 and D9 to really say much about it. Check your Venus in those charts and look what planets are sitting directly opposite. Then what planets are rasi aspecting your DK and 7th from DK.
Thank you for replying 🙂
My venus is in aries in the 3rd house by itself and it’s 7th house aspect is by exalted saturn in 9th house in the d9 chart.. im not exactly sure what this means but currently I am running my venus mahadasha and starting sun mahadasha in 2023. Also my amatyakara is saturn so does that mean anything in terms of the d9 aspect? The 7th lord of d9 chart is leo and sun sits in 4th house with exalted moon. Does the 7th lord have anything to do with spouse in d9 chart too?
Thanks again
Priya, have we messaged before on IG? Feel free to shoot me an email with your details and I will have a look when I can.
Venus is my Darakaraka and is of 10° and boy friend is also having venus as Darakaraka and is of 2°. Can he be my future husband considering only this fact?
Aries ascendant – Venus DK, also lord of 7th house and in conjuction with moon. In D9, Venus is in cancer with ketu 11th house (although this one time I consulted an astrologer who said the app i checked it in must be wrong, as per her Venus wasnot in conjunction with ketu), D7, Venus is in Virgo in 3rd house, here it is debilitated, but Jupiter R is aspecting it from 9th house, Jupiter is also 9th lord and in conjuction with sun. Can you help me interpret? I can understand charts individually but cannot however understand the correlation between them. As all charts are derived from D1, what method should one apply to understand the respective chart in relation to the D1. For eg: my Venus is exalted in D1 but debilitated in D7, how does this pan out? Thank you Brooke, I am glad I found this website, your explanation is so easy to understand.
HI Brooke! I’m a Sag rising and I have my DK planet and Mars in Gemini. Not in a conjunction but they are in 2 different nakshatras. And Jupiter is in the first house and it is aspecting mars. What kind of a result would I get from this combination? And what can you tell about the appearance of the spouse?
Tamil Actor Thalapathy’vijay’ have Venus as darakaraka and that is 9th house she is from London.
Hi Brooke,
Great article..!!
Venus- 4.41(7th lord in 1st)
Mercury- 4.36(11th lord in 3rd)
Asc- scorpian.
Who plays the exact role of DK, Even tough the difference is 0.05 amongst them.
Can we consider venus, since it’s 7th lord,functional karaka and as well natural karaka for marriage, playing dual role.
Or just in sake it looses proximity by 0.05 degrees does it loose DK status.
Help me deciper tis : )
Yes, both these planets are influencing partners/spouse, but Mercury is the DK – and even though our minds may want to blur them together because they are close in degrees, mathematically the distinction is clear. DK and the house it is in and dignity/avasthas will tell you more specific things about the spouse. The 7th house and it’s lord does also tell about the partner/spouse, but also the relationship itself, where a lot of the energy of the relationship is focused, etc.
Cont..
Or does it mean my gf will have both the qualities of venus and mercury in her.
Even If Dk happens to be Mercury.
7th lord is Venus.
Pls clear my doubt.
Hello brook
My darakaraka venus is debilitated and is in 1st house and my jupiter is 7th house lord which is pisces sitting in 2nd house with rahu…how my husband would be and how my married life would be???please feel free to reply back
Thank you
Is that based on the results you get from the chart calculator on my site? A debilitated DK and Rahu conjunct Jupiter (if you’re a woman?) will hurt married life. 7th in 2nd can eventually give fiancial gains from spouse, but it’s 8th places from the 7th, so I’ve seen this placement give a sudden ending to a relationship or marriage as well. Truly, I cannot tell a person how their married life will be from a couple techniques in my comment section (nor do I want to do that). In an actual reading I would use a lot more techniques. But based on what you have written, you should take a long time in choosing a spouse.
Take care!
