Venus Mahadasha
The Venus Mahadasha lasts 20 years. Tradition associates it with relationships, creative expression, and material pleasures.
What the period is about
Areas of life most often discussed for this period: relationships, arts, luxury, creativity. How it actually plays out depends on where Venus sits in your own chart - its sign, house, strength and the houses it rules - which is why two people in the same Mahadasha can describe very different years.
