Venus is the most beautiful and sparkling planet.  Hence it is regarded as symbolic of beauty.  Moon stands for motherhood while Venus stands for a different form of femal, i.e., as a companion and associate of male; it develops its personality in competition with man to become a complete woman.  But for that very reason it falls into bondage.

In puranas Venus is depicted in a female form i.e., as daughter of Bhrigu.

CHARACTERISTICS:

A person under the influence of Venus is beautiful, has glowing and attractive personality.  all the parts of the body are proportional.  Venus has dark, curly hair and large and round eyes.  The person is primarily affected by problems related to gastic trouble and cough.  Such a person is virtuous, happy, cheerful, soft-spoken and lives a luxurious and comfortable life.  The person is always conscious of his looks and physical appearance.
