Let’s start by knowing what is its place in Vedic Astrology. 

Astrological Significance of Venus 

Shukra Graha or Venus planet is considered most auspicious in Vedic Astrology. It symbolizes beauty, art, luxury, love, lust, romance, and skills. Astrologers observe its position in a person’s kundali to get insights to profession, work, happiness, prosperity, physical and marital happiness. 

Venus is a factor of material happiness. It is associated with the things of beauty and love. For example it governs your love or married relationships, the way you dress yourself, your love for aesthetics and arts etc.

If you have a strong Venus in your kundali then it will make you gentle, obedient, and cultured. You admire  art, music, poetry, paintings, and dance. Venus is also associated with feminine energy. Due to strong Venus you’ll stay happy and know no sorrow and anger. 

However, if your Venus is weak then you’ll lack beauty, charm, grace, love and affection. You might face disappointment in love. Sometimes it signals the death of your wife. Gross sexual pleasures are also a result of weak Venus.

Shukra Graha’s Mythological Significance   

There are two Mentors among the nine planets and venus is one of them. Venus or Shukra is the Mentor of Asuras or demons. Among the other planets, Venus is called Shukracharya. 

Shukracharya is the son of Bhrigu( one of the Sapta Rishis). Although he was so wise and knowledgeable, he didn’t get a place in Devaloka or heaven or world of Gods. So, he became the Mentor of asuras.  

He resides in the Patala Loka or underworld or hell. All the asuras are his disciples. He helps them in their battle against Gods who drive him apart. 

Shukra’s Ability to Revive Anyone 

Likewise a very popular game, PUBG, Shukrcaharya also has the ability to bring someone back to life. This ability is known as Mrita Sanjivani Vidya. 

To save asuras in their battle against gods, Shukracharya did penance for Lord Shiva. Pleased by him, Shiva blessed Shukracharya with the Mrita Sanjivani Vidya.  By this technique he can actually bring back the dead. He used this to bring back asuras numerous times.
