No doubt, we all want to be happy and avoid pain. And this is the big news—we are now (June 18 to July 13) in the midst of a planetary transit that will increase the happiness quotient in our lives.
Venus, the planet of wealth, contentment, beauty and love, is now strong in its own sign of Taurus. And a strong Venus in the sky is the prerequisite for our enjoyment of the best things in the material world—beautiful homes, expensive cars, financial good fortune and good relationships.
If you are already witnessing these things in life, you can probably thank Venus and your good karma—but if you would like to resonate with Venus’ rays and bring about more beauty, luxury and joyful moments in your life, read further.
When you can, wear new, clean and elegant clothes on Fridays. Lakshmi, the archetypal ruler of Venus, loves everything beautiful and pristine.
On Fridays, after taking a shower, offer pink or white flowers to an image or statue of Venus or Lakshmi.
Light a ghee lamp and some incense and offer sweets and water. Then repeat 108 or 27 times the sounds that vibrate at the frequency of this planet of happiness and the archetype:
- OM SHUKRAYA NAMAHA (for Venus)
- SHREEM (For Lakshmi, the planetary overlord)
Another lesser known way to access the favors of Venus is through charitable work or donations to women’s charities. These good actions will not only increase your good karma, but the happiness you give others will in turn bring blessings to you.
Not to mention that recent scientific studies show that doing good to benefit others turns into positive emotions and good health for the giver.
Enjoy this extraordinary time.
