Remedies for Venus Mahadasha

If Venus is causing malefic effects during its Dasha or if issues arise due to afflictions, remedies can help balance its impact:

1. Chant Venus Beej Mantra: Recite “Om Draam Dreem Droum Sah Shukraya Namah” daily to strengthen Venus’ positive effects.
2. Fasting on Fridays: Observing a fast on Fridays can help reduce Venus’ malefic influence.
3. Donate White or Luxurious Items: Items like rice, sugar, white clothes, or beauty products, donated on Fridays, can alleviate Venus-related issues.
4. Worship Lakshmi: Regular prayers to Goddess Lakshmi can enhance wealth, peace, and prosperity.
5. Wear a Diamond or White Sapphire: Wearing these gemstones, after astrological consultation, can enhance a benefic Venus’ impact.

Venus Mahadasha, with its focus on beauty, harmony, and wealth, can be one of the most rewarding periods in a person’s life. However, balancing indulgence with discipline and spiritual practices can bring the most positive outcomes during this period.
