What does Venus in the 6th house mean?

Venus in the 6th house has specific implications. Here are the key points:

Focus on Service: Venus in the 6th house indicates a strong emphasis on service, work, and daily responsibilities, often bringing harmony to the workplace.

Health and Wellness: This placement can lead to an interest in health, wellness, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle, though it may also bring challenges related to indulgence or overwork.

Relationships with Colleagues: Venus here often creates pleasant and cooperative relationships with coworkers and subordinates, promoting teamwork.

Potential Conflicts: There may be challenges in personal relationships, as Venus in the 6th can sometimes lead to conflicts or misunderstandings, particularly in love matters.

Simple Astrological Remedies for Landing Your Dream Job!

A person is born with many skills. But Universe has fixed a particular timing of showing your skills which will be beneficial for you in form of good job, career and gains in that timing.

Dasha is the most important factor which tells that universe is calling you for which purpose. If you will go in that direction with right intention, paitence and hard work then universe will support you fully to that field.

I will explain it through famous Indian Bollywood celebrity chart, Shahrukh Khan-

(His Astro Chart- Pic credit- AstroSage App)

1-When he was going through Rahu mahadasha-

His rahu is sitting in 10th house of career and hard work. The lord of 10th house is sitting in 5th house which is Venus(planet of creativity and arts). He worked hard in field of creativity at that time.He debuted his acting career and worked in many television serials.

2-When his Jupiter Mahadasha came-

His Jupiter is sitting in 11th house of gains and all wishes. He won big awards. He bought his dream house Mannat during that dasha.

Jupiter is also aspecting Venus which is enhancing it's qualities of creativity and arts. He joined main stream bollywood and acted in many movies and gave super hit movies during this dasha.

Jupiter is also aspecting 7th house of business and legal partnership. So, he also founded his own production house I.e Red Chilli Entertainment with his wife.

3-When his Saturn Mahadasha came-

His Saturn is sitting in 7th house of business and legal partnership in its own sign of Aquarius. During that time his company Red Chilli Entertainment had already produced or co-produced at least nine films. He teamed up with a UAE based real estate firm with his wife Gauri for a residential complex right in front of the beach in Dubai.

As Saturn was also aspecting Mars from it's 10th aspect. Mars represent sports also.Therefore he also purchased Cricket team of Indian Premier League (IPL).

Because his 10th lord(the house of career) is sitting in 5th house(the house of creativity).

Remember, important in his journey is that he is working in the field of creativity. He had expanded all his business with the help of his creative and artistic skills(acting).

This shows that one should choose career field according to his/her 10th lord placement but should use that skill in that field only whose planetary dasha is going on.

chiron in aries transit (2019-2026)

have you noticed the aries suns in your life having a rough time right now? that's probably because of chiron transiting their sun right now. long held insecurities stemming from parental rejection come to light during chiron/sun transits. aries suns are reconciling with the parts of their identity that make them feel small and insecure. from their perspective, the world has not been kind to them, but this is all their ego talking. aries suns are being called to reclaim something about their identity that they feel shameful of.

for aries moons, the chiron in aries transit will bring up strong emotions surrounding the mother/mother figure(s) as well as your home. changes or uncertainty about moving and where you want to live can come up during this time.

for libra moon, chiron will be opposite your moon which can cause tension between you and your mother/mother figure(s). this can be an emotionally frustrating time especially if you are not in a comfortable living situation.

cancer moons are having a particularly rough time with chiron squaring their moon. sad emotions may come up around your mother and your relationship with her.

Can you explain the significance of Rahu in astrology?

In Vedic astrology, Rahu is one of the nine primary celestial bodies known as the Navagrahas. Along with Ketu, Rahu forms one half of the lunar nodes, known as the North Node of the Moon. Rahu is considered a shadow planet, meaning it doesn't have a physical form like the visible planets. Instead, it represents the point where the Moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun across the sky).

Here are some key points regarding the significance of Rahu in astrology:

Material Desires and Obsessions: Rahu is associated with worldly desires, materialism, and obsessions. It represents the craving for material success, power, and recognition. Individuals influenced by Rahu may have intense ambitions and may pursue their goals with great determination, sometimes at the expense of other aspects of life.

Karmic Influence: Rahu is often seen as a karmic planet, indicating past-life influences and unresolved karmic debts. Its placement in the birth chart can suggest areas where the individual may face challenges or experience significant growth and transformation in this lifetime.

Unconventional Paths: Rahu is known for its unpredictable and unconventional nature. It can bring sudden changes, unexpected events, and unconventional opportunities into the individual's life. Rahu encourages exploration of new ideas, experiences, and paths that may lead to personal growth and enlightenment.

Illusions and Deception: Rahu is associated with illusions, deception, and illusions. Its influence can cloud judgment and create confusion, leading individuals to make decisions based on false perceptions or incomplete information. However, Rahu's placement can also facilitate spiritual growth by challenging individuals to see through illusions and seek deeper truths.

Transformation and Enlightenment: Despite its negative connotations, Rahu also has the potential to catalyze profound transformation and spiritual enlightenment. By confronting and transcending worldly desires and attachments, individuals can harness Rahu's energy to pursue higher spiritual goals and achieve inner fulfillment.

Astrological Significance: In the birth chart, Rahu's placement and influence are analyzed in conjunction with other planetary placements, aspects, and the individual's life circumstances. Its effects can vary depending on its house placement, sign placement, and aspects with other planets.

Overall, Rahu is a complex and multifaceted planetary influence in Vedic astrology, representing both challenges and opportunities for growth and self-realization. Understanding its significance in the birth chart can provide valuable information about a person's life path, challenges and possibilities for spiritual growth. For which you can use Kundli Chakra 2022 Professional Software. Which can give you accurate information.

Mars in 7th House the effect on your long-term relationships.

One of the most important houses in astrology is the 7th house. The 7th house is called the house of partnerships, public transactions, corporate partnerships, marriages, and personal relationships with others. It can bring a vibrant and perhaps difficult energy to this house, directing one's approach to relationships and disagreements. Gaining awareness of the effects of Mars in the 7th house is crucial for identifying interpersonal patterns, possible sources of conflict, and constructive methods to channel this energy.

My weekly roundup CW 20

I try to write down my thoughts after watching stuff to create a little weekly ranking in relation to the previous week on my, most of the times, quiet sundays (and because I love lists!). These are just my personal opinions and preferences.

And yes, this will contain spoilers!

The Promise is on hiatus this week. I guess it is because they wanted to end the series on WeTV and their Youtube channel on the same day.

→ 1. Love Mate (Ep 5+6)

Most adorable scene this week:

Ahhh, yes, I am obsessed with the series. I love them and don't want to miss them! Sunshine guy and Grumpy Guy are so precious. And grumpy guy is slowly becoming sunshine guy No 2. I love how happy he looks when he is with sunshine guy. I still didn't quite get the pool date and we were robbed of an underwater kiss! It was the perfect opportunity!!!! And they don't need to fool us. They are not date mates. They are a couple. I think it's cute how sunshine guy plays along, even though he actually knows full well that grumpy guy and him are a couple, but so as not to scare him away, he just plays along. The second thing I didn't understand, why don't they sleep together in the same bed? The solution to the problem was of course very adorable and I almost exploded because of the concentrated cuteness of the scene. I would have liked it even more if grumpy guy had climbed down to sunshine guy of his own accord and hugged him from behind. But I don't want to complain. The scene is burned into my memory forever now. And yes, the end of episode 6 fucked me up. Sunshine Guy! Go to him. Take him in your arms! Don't run away! But maybe he just knows grumpy guy well enough to know that he might have closed himself off in that moment. That fucked up ex-boyfriend. It was obvious that he would still play a role. You better not fuck this up in the finale!

↑ 2. La Pluie (Ep 4)

Most surprising kiss this week:

I'm squealing! I was really afraid that there would be a huge problem when Patts found out that Saengtai knew they were soulmates. But with that I am not mad. The kiss on the other hand…Yes, Saengtai initiated it, but Patts was willing to go quite a few steps further. Boy, Saengtai was drunk off his ass! No thought of getting into his pants there. But well, who hasn't made out with someone while drunk? I'll let it slide. Oh man, my critical eyes are really going blind when I like a scene. Not saying it was a good choice of writing the first kiss! Second point…Patts. Talk to your ex, please. Silence has never helped anyone. Especially not in front of love contaminated people. So tell her, hey, I found my soulmate and now I will start a new happy life with him. Other than that, Saengtai and Patts are both like sugar to me. I find their interactions so cute and want to permanently pinch their cheeks. The series definitely manages to pick up from week to week. I'm a little scared when it comes to the drama. I'm not going to like it, but honestly, we're on episode 4 of 12. There's a whole bunch more drama to come…And I'm not ready for it!

→ 3. Happy Merry Ending (Ep 7+8 Final)

The most smitten guy of the week:

Episode 7 I will simply banish from my memory again. But that was exactly what I feared last week. Namely that JaeHyun reminds SeungJun way too much of his ex with his manner. He couldn't offer him any protection at that moment. And I understand SeungJun so much that he sends JaeHyun away, that he wants to be alone, that he wants to protect himself. It's all been so new for him, he was too overwhelmed with the new relationship, because he himself wasn't ready yet from the head. Yes, JaeHyun gave him peace when they were together, but when he was alone, he was vulnerable again. He himself needs to learn to stop being vulnerable and attackable to his ex in order to be a good partner in the future and address and overcome his trauma because: Love cannot heal everything. But even though JeungJun sent JaeHyun away, it was his love that made JeungJun finally take control of his life. He had to make that decision himself to become stronger. And when he is ready, he just hopes that JaeHyun will forgive him…If we were to dive into reality at this point, we would realize that this is wishful thinking. How often does it happen that one person waits so long for another and that other person actually gives a sign at some point, like "Hey, I still like you"? The story would have actually ended at the point when JeungJun asks JaeHyun to leave and compares him to his disgusting ex. That would have been my breaking point, anyway. But, we are not in reality, but in the beautiful world of BL. And here, with the last episode, we get our happy ending, as we hoped for. And may I say at this point that I now wish we had heard more songs from JaeHyun? What a beautiful voice! Makes him even more handsome. I liked the story. I liked that JeungJun managed to turn his life around on his own. I liked the look on JaeHyun's face when he looks at JeungJun. I liked their absolutely cozy looking togetherness. I liked their romance.

↑ 4. Our Skyy 2 (Ep 9+10)

Okay, I was so afraid Our Skyy would ruin my favorites, but shit, was it fun! Would I have liked to see Tinn and Gun navigate their lives with each other after school with new challenges? Absolutely. Do I think the role reversal idea is bad? Not really. It's very amusing to see Gemini and Fourth play each other's roles and give them their own character traits. And they came up with some really good jokes. I was on the floor laughing. The dance scene was so over the top. The whole scene after the exam when they were in each other's arms…I couldn't take it anymore! And to add TiwsonPor as an already existing couple - chef's kiss. They know exactly what they are doing. This is fanservice at its finest. I love it when a show is aware of its fans and what they want, and when they don't just throw it out there, but incorporate in well into the plot. This is so fanfiction!!! It's like the writers and everyone involved really paid attention and saw where the mistakes or inconsistencies were with the original series and now they're making fun of them in an excellent way. Best scene: the guys are all in a room together and Gun and Tinn are flirting with each other and the guys are nagging them not to be so loud. That's realistic for a change. All in all, I liked the episodes of Our Skyy so much more than the previous ones.

↓ 5. My Story (Ep 6)

I don't care about this week! Please don't let Zeke be late for that stupid school event next week and what's with Drake and him? The drama belongs with Sky and Win. Not in our little sanctuary Zeke x Fifth heaven. I resent that! This week was soooo cute again! Fifth is just still very unsure if he can be enough and satisfy Zeke, and Zeke may give him something to doubt there when he agrees to Kim's event even though he promised to be at the school event. And I can already somewhat imagine next week that drama can arise through that. Although I can also understand Zeke wanting to fuel his career as a photographer a bit with the assignment from Kim. These two are going to break my heart before they painstakingly patch it back together. And just between us, I probably wouldn't mind to see their reconciliation in the end.

↓ 6. Our Dining Table (Ep 7)

A kiss? Really now? Not that I think there was really a kiss with the camera shot like that, but still! Brave Minoru! Aside from the kiss, it was another nice, stable episode. Yutaka is opening up to Minoru and Tane is such an empathetic boy, it's heartbreaking. And the dad is my absolute favorite! I think among all of us, he's the biggest shipper of the two!

↑ 7. Step by Step (Ep 5)

Jeng and Pat are so side tracked in my mind right now. Yes, there is progress, they slept in a bed together and you can tell they both already know they like the other. And at the end there was this totally romantic scene with fireworks in the background that screamed for a kiss and then the cut came…okay…but, what really stuck in my mind? My ambivalent feelings about Jaab and Jane. But I did some soul-searching. One of my favorite series is Love Mechanics…so who am I to judge? Yes, Jane fucked up, but shit happens in this world. That doesn't excuse anything, but I'm selfish and I want these two to get together. They both like each other. And of course Jaab doesn't hide it, but he never makes the first move. So it's absolutely clear that Jane is equally attracted to Jaab. So much that he crosses lines he shouldn't. The affair, or even a fling, has a certain tingle, the whiff of something forbidden. It's morally reprehensible and yet the subject matter is always found in the media and people are drawn to it. Why? Because it shows emotions very raw and pure. Because desire for a person is depicted, which otherwise can hardly be transported through the medium. Because it means that the desire for this person, be it purely sexual or even romantic, is so great that one accepts the moral contempt. Because in some moments you have no control over your thoughts and your body. Because it is a temptation that people would like to give in to, at least in their thoughts. It means giving up control to your heart and even if you have never had the thought of cheating, you can still understand what can happen in your body and head. So yeah, I'm not mad about it at the end of this week. I'm excited to see what happens next and I'm eager to see when they get to their happy ending and what other obstacles are put in their way.

↑ 8. A Boss and a Babe (Ep 12 Final)

Most ridiculous dialogue of the week:

The finale surprised once again. How pissed I was at first when it turned out to be just a dream…I hate that. That is one of the shittiest placeholder…fucking dream sequences. And then also at the end of the last episode, so it can't be resolved until the next episode either. That hit home. After that, it was a sugar fest. So much sweetness and romance. Was a little too much for my stunted heart. But it was the conclusion I think we all thought and hoped for. The friends group is and remains my favorite of the series and especially the fact that they have accepted Gun into their group like that and he visibly feels at home there. The roof terrace at the end was a bit much for me. If my partner did that, I'd probably be throwing up rainbows and cotton candy. But anyway. I'm excited to see what happens next week with Our Skyy 2…The preview looked…exhausting, to put it nicely.

↓ 9. Naked Dining (Ep 6)

Oh, Futa… What are you doing? You're dreaming about Mahiro kissing you. Do you want me to interpret it for you? Your subconscious has already figured out that you like him. Your subconscious is trying to tell you what you want, you just have to listen and let it happen. Instead, you're talking about getting married and starting a family. And the look on Mahori's face spoke volumes. He's so hurt and disappointed. He really thought you guys were making progress after Futa's talk of fate, that you found each other again. Oh man. This is so frustrating. All the better that Mahiro told him the truth in the end and leaves Futa alone with his thoughts now. I'm excited to see what happens next.

→ 10. House of Stars (Ep 3)

I found the episode so boring and uninteresting and I don't understand the dynamic going on. I don't get what the relationship is supposed to be between Gun and Pitch. Pitch is obsessed with Gun and Gun doesn't like him, but tolerates him and sometimes looks at him like he's in love with him and is nice to him. And on the other hand, we have So, who is clearly into Pitch and Pitch kind of likes him, but by the portrayal of his character, I really can't see any feelings from Pitch. And yeah, the choice of how he conveys the character is really not working for me. I don't like it. And Pitch is such an unlikable character. He knows he's going to screw up, again and again and again and doesn't learn from it and again and again others have to bail him out while is standing there grinning...Yes, I'm dropping it at this point.

[eryanlainfa]

Learnt about Welcome Home lore litteraly just yesterday... SO HERE IS MY OC!

Their name as a whole is Weekly! They have a dissociative identity disorder, making them multiple identities within a single body.

(Disclaimer : my OC is in no way a good/realistic exemple of DID. This is a fictional fan-character for a fictional story about a fictional show.)

In a universe where the show aired other days than just saturdays- Weekly is a reccuring neighbour who seems to be a different person depending on which day of the week we're in. Always taking after one of the other neighbours (except Wally) they seem to always be assisting one of them.

Each identity refers to the others as if they were all members of the same family, insisting they are all different people with different lives, and calling you crazy if you dare insinuate otherwise.

They all have different relationships with the neighbours, and different preferences and way of thinking. Some of them do share memories with each others but not every identities will remember the same things.

VENUS IN ASTROLOGY

🦋Now Reading are Open again.🦋

🧚🏽‍♀️ Unlock Universe has to Offer you ?🧚🏽‍♀️

Venus is a feminine energy. When you see something with the intention of embracing it. This feeling of embracing something is the feminine energy.

Venus represents beauty, comfort, luxury, pleasantness, wife and girlfriend.

Primarily How it differs from Mars?

But when you see something with the intention of its usefulness. Then that feeling is masculine energy which is Mars.

There are two ways of getting blessings of Venus.

Live the Venus- one should live the beauty instead of conquering the beauty.

Try to keep yourself clean and beautiful.

Wear branded clothes and branded jewelleries.

Decorate your house.

Spray fragrance and perfumes.

Maintain a soft and calm voice while speaking.

When you feel pleasant, your pleasantness goes into your sub-conscious mind. That sub-conscious mind is connected to universe. The nature of universe is neutral. Therefore, Universe will return that pleasantness to you.

2.Spread Venus- one should spread the happiness.

Apart from your decor items and things that you use usually. You should donate rest of the things which you are not using for years.

Because happiness increases when you spread it. Thus Venus will increase.

Now I will tell that the result of any planet when badly placed in your horoscope and making an impact over venus also.

If Sun has a bad impact on Venus- You will be showing ego to your wife or gf on taking credits of providing all the luxuries and comforts to her, then you will lose your money and happiness.

If Rahu has a bad impact over Venus- You will be expecting show off from your wife/gf which she finds difficult to do in the society . Overall, you will not have money but you will show artificial happiness everywhere.

If Ketu has a bad impact on Venus- You will feel detached from wife/gf. Thus, your beauty in life and money will be detached from you.

If Jupiter has a bad impact on Venus- You will not have wisdom and thus you will not be able to make your Venus auspicious for you.

If Saturn has a bad impact on Venus- You will give controlling vibes to your wife/gf. Then, your money or happiness will be restricted upto a limited amount.

If Mars has a bad impact on Venus- You will do violence/arguments/disputes with your wife/gf. Therefore, your beauty in life or money will go away.

If Moon has a bad impact on Venus- If your thoughts are continuously negative about your wife or gf then you will lose all or either Wife or Gf or your money because Moon easily manifests your thoughts.

If Mercury has a bad impact on Venus- You have knowledge and talent but you don't know how to implement it to get the gains from the Venus. Thus you will not be able to expand your wealth , relationship and money.

Overall, Venus decides Happiness and Money in Your Life. Protect it.

This Week's Astrology: Aug. 26, 2024

Have you HEARD the news? My debut novel, Jupiter Returns, is launching for pre-sale! Keep an eye on your inbox for sneak peeks, launch events, and more fun stuff. I hope you’ll join me in celebrating this long-awaited release. Anyway, onto the astrology!

     This week’s astrology is a primer for the month of September. Which, is just around the corner—and, while I’m on the subject, September is PACKED with astrology (including, but not limited to: eclipse season 😬). But it seems like this final week of August is helping to make the transition with ease. That’s not to say September is an easygoing, free-flowing month per se, but it certainly doesn’t look as chaotic as August was.  

     If you’re like me—i.e.: a mutable Sun / Moon, with a Fixed Rising sign—August was tough, maybe even the toughest month of 2024 so far. Even though Friday was “victorious”1, the days and weeks prior were less so. There was a LOT of tension, frustration, deceleration, and stress. I felt stuck, unmotivated, tired, exasperated, and like I (kinda) knew where I wanted to go, but wasn’t able to gain traction or momentum on anything; nor did I feel particularly confident in anything. Such is the case with square aspects in astrology. Me, pretty much all of August.

     These pesky aspects provoke, antagonize, block, annoy, and stifle you all at once. They can feel as thwarting and tiring as they feel aggravating, like life has crammed you into a garlic press and is squeezing with all its might to mince you. But at the same time, squares can also help you; because it’s in those times of frustration, forestalling, and feeling crushed that you can gain clarity on what you really want. Even if you don’t move forward with it right away, even if you aren’t 100% gung-ho about your desire, you know it. And knowing is half the battle. 

     Last week, we had not one, but four of those squares in the sky. And Mercury retrograde. And a full moon. So, it was an exceptionally charged week. Maybe, like me, you felt heavy, weighed down by all the things you want to do, but weren’t 100% certain any of them mattered; so you couldn’t decide what to move forward with. (That’s what mutable sign squares feel like, btw. Equal parts indecisiveness, derailment, and discouragement. I would know: my Sun and Moon are square in mutable signs 😬.) But in this final week of August, you get a much-needed reprieve—and maybe even some sweetness.

     This is a week to move forward—with both the project / goal(s) that had you stumped these last two weeks, and with fresh projects, fresh ideas. It’s a week that encourages indulgence, dabbling in creative activities, daydreaming, and/or reveling in some beauty. Tuesday fosters fresh energy, innovation, and giving/receiving a pleasant surprise. On Wednesday, there might be a little emotional fog, but Mercury stations direct, bringing confidence in communication and forward movement. Thursday has artistic, romantic, and maybe even justice-driven vibes, with a chance for powerful connections. 

     As the week winds down, September opens with two important retrograde movements involving outer planets Uranus & Pluto. Though outer planet retrogrades are totally normal (as many of those planets are retrograde half the year), they still pull focus. They still mean something. And they also set the tone for the rest of September, which, as I mentioned, is LOADED with astrology. Anyway, that’s the gist of this week. Here’s the actual astrology:

August 27th: Venus in Virgo trine Uranus in Taurus, 27°

August 28th: Venus in Virgo opposes Retrograde Neptune in Pisces, 29° 

August 28th: Mercury stations direct in Leo, 21° 

August 29th: Venus enters Libra

August 29th: Venus in Libra trines Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius, 0°

September 1st: Uranus stations retrograde in Taurus, 27°

September 1st: Retrograde Pluto re-enters Capricorn, 29°
