Shukra-Vrishabha typically enjoys a richly sensual married life, and wealthy business partnerships.

Attachment to sensual pleasure is very deep and satisfying, often diverting the native 's attention away from spiritual pursuits and toward the embrace of women, wine, and song.

As a counselor and adviser, Shukra-Vrishabha specializes in food, familial values, and finance.

Exceptions as always with sensual Shukra include invalidation of the sensual experience via too-close proximity to anti-sense-values Ketu. Shukra + Ketu, especially when Shukra is strong via rashi or bhava, suggests that the native will try more and more sensual indulgence with less and less satisfaction.

• He will enjoy the company of female peers with Vrishabha traits, and in particular the female companion will exemplify the two domains, 5 and 12, which Shukra commands from Mithuna.

• Her gracious presence will contribute to the native 's material enjoyment of children (5) and luxurious foreign residence or sanctuary space (12); likely she will have bedroom skills (12, Shukra) and intelligence (5) for acquisition of wealth (Shukra) by speculative (5) means.

• From the Mesha Chandra lagna, L-2 + L-7 Shukra = good for wealth, pleasures of the mouth (Vrishabha, 2) , and diplomatic (7) agreements (7) ; emotionally such a male native can be predicted to enjoy accumulated wealth and frequent negotiation of agreements in his relationship to women; particularly in the first marriage.

Vrishabha-Shukra finds distasteful:

• Too much emphasis on formal balance and social parity to the exclusion of direct sensual pleasures.

• Vrishabha is deeply indulgent in matters of the mouth. Thula prefers the eyes and ears.
• A little music with dinner is OK, but Vrishabha would like to open the wine bottle immediately. A pleasant evening at the theatre should be preceded and also followed by a nice restaurant. Art appreciation is all well and good, but Tauri prefers to appreciate in the presence of a small glass (or two) of something nice with tasty hors d'oeuvres.
• Too much purely social discourse is frustrating for Tauri, who wants to enjoy the world's best, most delicious tastes as much as possible.
