According to Vedic astrology, Venus is exalted in a horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Pisces, which in simple words means that Venus gains maximum strength when placed in Pisces compared to its placement in all the other signs. Exalted Venus is associated with many good things by many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers that exalted Venus always works positively in a horoscope and it brings good results for the native under its influence. This is not the case in actual practice and exalted Venus can work positively as well as negatively in a horoscope depending on the other deciding factors and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of a native under consideration.
The word exalted simply relates to the strength of Venus in a horoscope and it doesn’t relate to the nature of Venus in a horoscope. Accordingly exalted Venus placed in different houses of a horoscope can give benefic as well as malefic results depending on the nature of Venus as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope. We will now discuss some of these benefic as well as malefic effects which can be experienced when exalted Venus is placed in different houses of a horoscope.
Exalted Venus in 1st House : When benefic in nature, exalted Venus placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native under its influence with good results related to his marriage, profession, finances, fame, overall well being and many other types of good results. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such benefic exalted Venus can especially give very good results related to the professional sphere of the native due to which the natives under its influence may get good results through many professional spheres. Since Venus is the planet of beauty and creativity, benefic exalted Venus placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with these qualities and accordingly the native may succeed in professional spheres where these qualities are valued.
Some natives under the effect of such benefic exalted Venus may enter into professional spheres like acting, singing, dancing, writing and many other types of professional spheres which require beauty, creativity or certain special abilities in order to give good results. For example, if benefic exalted Venus is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, benefic Mercury is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius and benefic Jupiter is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may become a singer. Such benefic combination of these planets may produce better results in the horoscope of a female than in the horoscope of a male. The female native under the combined effect of such benefic exalted Venus and all other benefic planets may become a singer and she may achieve good amount of success as a singer.
At the same time, if benefic Moon is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer and benefic Mars is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the equation may improve. This is because the presence of such benefic Moon in its own sign and benefic Mars in its sign of exaltation can provide much more positive energy to this equation. Accordingly the female native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may achieve much more success as a singer and she may earn very good amount of money, fame and recognition as a singer. The addition of benefic Ketu to the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra and that of benefic Rahu to the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries can supply much more energy to benefic exalted Venus in the first house and all other planets in this example.
Accordingly the female native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may not only be famous on national level, but her fame may spread to some other countries also. The addition of benefic Saturn to the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer can further enhance this equation. Hence the female native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may now become a famous international singer and she may have millions of fans in many countries of the world. Such female native may earn huge amount of money and fame as a singer and she may become an iconic star or an iconic celebrity. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the female native under the combined effect of all such benefic influences may achieve even more success as a singer.
Such benefic exalted Venus in the first house of a horoscope can also bless the native under its influence with a post of power and authority in some government department, by virtue of a job or through politics. For example, if benefic exalted Venus is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, benefic Mars is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries and benefic Jupiter is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius, the native may become a revenue officer in some government department. Such native may work in some revenue department or in some taxation department of government. At the same time, if a benefic combination of Sun, Moon and Mercury is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius, the native may become an income tax officer or some other similar type of officer.
However if the same benefic combination of Sun, Moon and Mercury is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic planets may become a revenue intelligence officer. Such native may investigate big matters related to revenue frauds and he may achieve good amount of success as a revenue intelligence officer. At the same time, if benefic exalted Saturn is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic exalted Venus, the equation may improve. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become a well recognized and successful revenue intelligence officer and he may not only investigate revenue frauds on the national level, but he may investigate some revenue frauds committed by some international groups also. As more benefic planets add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic planets may achieve even more success through this field of profession.
On the other hand, malefic exalted Venus placed in the first house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to his marriage, profession, health, lifeline, reputation and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of such malefic influence may have to face some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Some of these natives may have to feel the heat of this malefic influence in the sphere of their professions and accordingly the may not be able to properly establish in their professions, till late in their lives. Some other natives suffering from malefic exalted Venus in the first house of their horoscopes may have to face losses, failures, setbacks and bad reputation through the sphere of their professions. Such problems may intensify if there are other malefic planets in their horoscopes, which support such malefic exalted Venus in the first house of their horoscopes.
For example, if a malefic combination of exalted Venus and Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces and malefic Saturn is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo, the native under the combined effect of these malefic planets may witness problems in his profession. It should be noted that though Jupiter is placed in its own sign in this example and Venus is placed in its sign of exaltation, this combination can still bring bad results for the native, if it turns malefic in the horoscope. Hence the native may not be able to find a proper profession till late in his life. At the same time, if malefic Sun is also placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo along with malefic Saturn, when all other malefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may become even worse.
The native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may not only have to remain jobless for long periods of time, many times in his life, but he may also have to face losses and bad reputation through his field of profession. At the same time, if malefic Rahu is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius along with Moon; and malefic Ketu is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo along with malefic Saturn and Sun, the equation may become disastrous. The native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may not be able find a permanent profession till the end of his life. Frustrated by being jobless, such native may enter into the life of crime and he may have to face a long term imprisonment by virtue of some crime committed by him. Such native may also get killed in a planned or unplanned violence, while engaging in some type of crime.
