Each row is the exact moment Venus changes sidereal sign. The Status column shows whether the planet was moving direct or retrograde at that precise ingress moment — not whether it spent time retrograde during the sign.

Venus (Shukra) is love, beauty, art, vehicles and material pleasure — the lesser benefic, karaka of the 7th house, signifying spouse (for males), marriage, artistic talent, luxuries and refinement. Shukra rules Taurus and Libra, is exalted in Pisces (27°) and debilitated in Virgo. Venus completes a sidereal sign in about 23 days and retrogrades roughly every 18 months for ~42 days, often re-igniting old relationships or art projects. Marriage prospects, romance, vehicle purchases, artistic recognition and dealings with women all align with Shukra's transits through favourable houses from your natal Moon.
