Shani drishti to Shukra, especially the mutual aspect, greatly strengthens materialism.

When Shani has any relationship to Shukra, the material capabilities are enhanced. More so with the mutual aspect.

the nativebecomes acutely focused on material wealth, money management, collections and accumulations, acquisitions of all kinds. The Artistic and architectural sensibilitiesare enhanced. But one is not a spacey artist with a Shani-Shukra connection. Upward mobility and material luxury are the goals of this duo.

Young people often ask: will I be wealthy in this life? If material wealth is wanted, the answer will be found in the relationship between Shani and Shukra.

In a male nativity, the wife is skillful with funds and always focused on acquisitions. Normally also a gracious entertainer. If Shani is in a tough rashi e.g. Vrischika or Simha, the wife may be a bit hard-boiled, but her money-radar will be sharp. Her goal is to build up a beautiful and luxurious social positionfor the marriage. If Shukra and Shani are auspicious, she will succeed.

Loneliness.Socially awkward and disconnected, oppressed/repressed emotionally. Hard worker, reserved. The female spouse (Shukra) may be glamorous and social butterfly while the male native is reserved and disciplined. Altho you may love your daughters deeply and delight in their charms, you may feel old and dry in the presence of their attractive, sensual youth.

Shukra and Shani are friendly toward each other, and this yoga is not so much of a problem if one can relax into a suitable work-pleasure balance. The key to managing this yoga is to not take yourself so seriously. With this yoga one is a seriously committed lover and good citizen. You make time to enjoy pleasures with loved ones. Barring Rahu-Ketu or other unstable influence upon the Shukra-Shani axis, one is faithful to the marriage vows.

Maintaining strength and security for your loved ones is a job you do well and for which you deserve recognition. But there is no need to be gloomy and overly serious about your role. Unfortunately it seems like the women in one's life do not appreciate one's efforts, and one's orderly aesthetic tastes are perhaps not praised by society.

Frustration in marriage due to feeling overworked and underappreciated. Female spouse is a pleasure-lover (type of pleasure via Shukra's rashi). Female spouse is sensually indulgent or self-permissive, in contradistinction to one's own more serious behavior. However she will have nice qualities such as a pleasant appearance and social charm.

Shukra and Shani are friendly Grahawho can work together well with consciousness. Lighten up.

Shukra in mutual aspect [opposition] to Surya

Contradictory psychic signal pattern may attract a willful, pleasure-loving spouse who brings pleasures, but also seems to drain soul energy.Somewhat similar to a combustShukra. Ego development is harmed. Surya gives moral leadership, soul knowledge and rational philosophical truth. Shukra is the sensual direct-experience human pleasure principle, who is pretty much the antithesis of knowledge. This yoga exposes a legendary conflict in human nature.

the native struggles to balance individual development against the seductive charms of the pleasure siren - often epitomized in the spouse.

If Shukra occupies house-12, the pleasure siren may be a drug/addictive substance or fantasy, rather than a person. Shukra-Surya opposed along any rashi axis will exacerbate the human dilemma of wantingto indulge in sensual pleasure, but hearing an ego mandateto gain self-knowledge.

So many distractions - so little time!

Shukra + Surya

Das / Bepin Beharisays,

• " ... if Sun is the significator, and Venus, well dignified,makes the native soft and effeminate, fond of the fair sex, and one's greatest ambition will be to enjoy their company.

• If Venus is combust, the native will be extravagant, and an attachment with persons whose affairs are always in a deranged or ruinous state, and his property will be continually wasted in retrieving them.

• If Venus is ill dignified, he will keep company with none but an infamous woman who will speedily bring him to ruin.

• If Venus is the significator, he will be proud and prodigal,

• if Sun is ill dignified, extremely mean and poor withal, generally short lived, liable to consumption, fever and full of crosses and vexation. "

Shukra rules beauty. Surya + Shukra = ego + beauty = Beautiful face and appearance. Yet some rashi are better than others for the beauty result:

1. Mesha:Surya is empowered in the rashi of Kuja but Kuja is Shukra's enemy. feminine traits diminished; a craggy, masculine muscle-y look, adolescent sizing. Looks good in competitive sport.

2. Vrishabha:Surya's power is diminished in the rashi of Surya's enemy Shukra, but Shukra gains strength in swakshetra. Feminine traits emphasized; Soft, rounded, sensuous, nicely balanced features. Looks good in fields, forests, and with textiles and oils.

3. Mithuna:Surya is neutral to Budha while Shukra experiences Budha as a friendly influence. The person with Surya + Shukra is very pretty and charming. Looks good in conversational settings.

4. Karkata:Surya is a good friend to the Moon while for Shukra Chandra is a neutral influence. Unless severely combust, the person with Surya + Shukra is moderately pretty, but willful. Looks good in domestic settings where they rule the roost.

5. Simha:Surya is too strong in this yoga; Shukra's cool beauty is overwhelmed, burned up, charred. If combust, Shukra has no power at all in Simha. the native may enjoy a charming personality (or not) but the physical appearance will not display a classical beauty. If either Shukra or Simha = lagnesha, tends toward a reddish complexion.

6. Kanya:Surya is neutral to Budha while Shukra experiences Budha as a friendly influence. However Shukra = neechcha in Kanya rashi. However attractive the native may appear to outsiders, the native cannot perceive one's own beauty. The person with Surya + Shukra is mildly pretty and charming, but often some flaw in the conventional beauty such as an unusual body type or a mark on the face. Looks good in intellectual settings. Their attractiveness increases through added intelligence if Budha also joins Surya + Shukra in Kanya..

7. thula:Surya is diminished in the rashi enemy Shukra, but Shukra gains strength in swakshetra. Feminine traits emphasized; Soft, rounded, sensuous, nicely balanced features. Looks good in small groupings and pairings, in elegant surroundings.

8. Vrischika:Surya is empowered in the rashi of Kuja but Kuja is Shukra's neutral. feminine traits diminished; a dark, penetrating look which can be seductive but also a bit controlling. Looks good in exploratory settings.

9. Dhanau:Surya sees Guru as a friend, while Shukra sees Guru as a neutral. Expansive loveliness, with a golden, slightly plump, cheerful appearance. Looks good in ceremonial and educational settings.

10. Makara: Surya is much impeded in the rashi of Shani but Shani is Shukra's great friend. Fair complexion, good bones, attractive according to the mainstream values of the native 's culture. Looks good in conventional costume, in large hierarchies.

11. Kumbha:Surya is much impeded in the rashi of Shani but Shani is Shukra's great friend. Surprising beauty, a bit eccentric in appearance but very attractive. Looks good in unusual dress, in large assemblies.

12. Meena:Surya sees Guru as a friend, while Shukra sees Guru as a neutral. Striking beauty: Shukra = uchcha in Meena. Musical and artistic talents matching a very lovely appearance. Fair complexion relative to one's gene pool, balanced features. Expansive loveliness, with a golden, slightly plump, cheerful appearance. Looks good in artistic settings, and with children.

Shukra in 6/8 to any graha

When Shukra occupies a 6/8 angle relative to any graha, sensual pleasure experience vs. the province of that 6/8 graha are permanently in conflict. One feels a lifelong tension and animosity between that to which one is Attracted, versus that which the other graha controls. One's love choices feel doomed to lifelong conflict.

he conflict is much exacerbated during Vimshottari periods of Shukra and the 6/8 graha.

he lover, or spouse, women in one's life generally -- even one's taste in textiles, perfumes, art and literature (Shukra) -- is found to be uncomfortably Off-balance. Even if the love relationship is satisfying on a personal level, the lover may inadvertently cause the native to incur illness, debt, or quarreling.

For example, ifShukra = 6/8 to Rahu.

Social conflict as a result of inappropriate love attraction to a foreigner, one who is a taboo-breaker, who looks or behaves in an exotic way, one who deals in vulgar or forbidden substances. During Shukra/Rahu period, it is natural to be frightened of negative consequences from the beloved, such as debt or disease. However, if Rahu's lord is strong, this conflict can be overcome by cultural education.

For example, if Shukra = 6/8 to Guru.

Conflict and animosity as a result of inappropriate love attraction to a teacher, a role-model, a moral educator. If Guru is strong, the gap between Shukra's overt sensuality and the sensually transcendent wisdom of Guru will be negotiated by some type of "policing" to ensure that the two agendas do not interrupt each other (much).

For example, if Shukra = 6/8 to Kuja.

Shukra-Kuja angle shows the sexuality balance. When this pair occupies a 6/8 angle, the result is "off balance" aesthetic and lovemaking styles.Inappropriate love attraction to an athlete, hunter, investigator, or actively competitive person causes conflict. If Mangala is healthy, the gap between Shukra's sensual, feminized love and Kuja's muscular, masculine dominating behaviors can be harmonized through intentional and conscious sexual engagement.

Shukra in 6/8 angle to Shani

Normally, Shukra and Shani are friends.These two graha direct the material pleasure senses (Shukra) and material order and organization (Shani).

Shani's job is to ensure safety through conformity. Shukra's job is to provide pleasure through attraction and sensual experience. When properly coordinated, Shukra + Shani provide artistic and architectural design capability, material wealth, and social structures such as marriage which facilitate the flow of material pleasures. They are normally a cooperative and 'simpatico' pair.

When Shukra and Shani are out of balance (6/8), sensual pleasure experience and the rules of social structure are permanently in conflict. One feels a lifelong tension and animosity between that to which one is Attracted, versus that which society (Shani) condones. One's love choices feel socially unsupported, unapproved or unsafe.

One tends to lack material wealth development or maintenance skills. Wealth acquisition prognosis is reduced.

he lover, or spouse, women in one's life generally -- even one's taste in textiles, perfumes, art and literature (Shukra) -- is found to be uncomfortably Off-balance with conventional social relationship rules (Shani). Even if the love relationship is satisfying on a personal level, the lover may cause humiliation, undignified servitude (such as prostitution or slavery), or other deprivation of social protection.

Vimshottari periods of 6/8 Shukra-Shani are inherently difficult. During these periods, the native projects one's internal love-vs-security conflict upon the external environment.

he love object seems to be misbehaving. One's love partner (or one's aesthetic preference in the case of taste in scents / sweets / art / music / literature) is found to be socially inappropriate. One can't "make it work" gracefully. There is exaggerated tension and inner argument between the partners. One's love cannot be forced into a socially 'safe' relationship package.

The Way Out = releasing the fear trauma

For the conscious native, periods of 6/8 between any two graha = an opportunity to bring subconscious conflict from past lives up to the surface awareness. 6/8 angles are troublesome in material and emotional life, but these periods offer the opportunity to "seize the day" in therapeutic self-reflection. From the present lifetime's intelligent control base, seek to re-negotiate these old fearsof disharmony and social punishment.

An imbalance between sensual pleasure and social dutyin the parents' relationship has led to the native internalizing the negative expectation that one's love experience must result in insecurity, and also that the achievement of social approval must entail a battle to keep love pleasures at bay.

During the 6/8 Shukra-Shani period,relationships are awkward and blaming. Previous agreements appear to be at the point of collapse. One expects troubles with the beloved to "only get worse".

he attraction does not end, and the fear of punishment does not end; rather, both the attraction and the fear of negative consequences from the attraction will intensify, in tandem. Discomfort is heightened if the two rashi are especially adversarial -- e.g., Simha vs. Makara.

A balance between true attraction and social lawfulness seems unachievable, yet the relationship cannot be ended. As always with the 6/8, one is "damned if you do and damned if you don't."

As always with Shani periods, Their bark is worse than their bite. Shani's job is to stimulate memory-embedded fear-based reactivity. (What psychologists call Post Traumatic Shock.) The intimidating power of remembered fear is usually much worse than its actual, measurable material consequences in the present time.

Any Shani period evokes survival fear. Shani in the '6th-from' any graha evokes specific fears of war, slavery, poverty, and disgrace. The way out of Shani's "traction" is to develop a conscious awareness that a 6/8 Shukra-Shani period (whether secondary 'bhukti' or a shorter tertiary 'antardasha') evokes an inherited set of negative expectations, usually a legacy from the parents (but traceable to the native 's past lives as well). The parents' fear-based belief system can be questioned, and a realistic assessment of realistic consequences (Shani) can be produced.

What are the real consequences? Is one's choice of spouse, lover, music, or style or dress likely propel one headlong into poverty, prostitution, ignominy, or crime? If so, by all means take action! But under normal circumstances, Shani's fears are hyper-charged with the memory of genuine trauma in the past. In some past life, one's husband did indeed sell one into brutal prostitution. A wife's drug addiction in a another life plunged an entire family into poverty and disgrace. In some lifetime, one was driven from the village with burning torches (Shani) for wearing fancy clothes (Shukra).

All true. But if the past-life charge can be released off these memories, one will quite likely find that the threatened social censure is relatively tame, and The beloved is not the enemy.
