Enjoys singing, recitations, and recountings of the lineage treasury , collecting money, storing food, telling stories, gathering knowledge of all kinds, acquiring fluency in languages, and appreciation of historical traditions.

[Shukra in bhava-2] contributes to the perception that one's family of origin is musical, artistic, and luxury-seeking. The family lineage may contain musicians, perfumers, vintners, refiners, bankers, traders, singers, or treasure-collectors. The vocabulary of values, finance, design, and diplomacy may be a salient feature of the family identity.

Speaks nicely. Un raconteur tres plaisant. A sensual, attractive voice.

Often a fine orator, suave and balanced.



FAMILY ability to value the native

Graha in Bhava-2 expresses prize = price = appreciation = preciousness or changes to the appreciativeness of the family (2) toward the native.

The type of family-based enrichment and appreciation is determined by the character of the graha-upagraha-in-2.

[Shukra in bhava-2]

the family culture is often entreasured, capitalized,sensually balanced, knowledgable, musical, aesthetic, and accessing financial hoards.

Family typically demonstrates their fair and equalizing treatment of the native.

Depending upon other graha yuti-Shukra, may grant diplomatic speech-style and an attractively arranged architecture to the face-eyes-voice.


Admires the beauty of natural objects, such as animals, fruits, flowers, shells, stones, seeds, and every variety of landscape.

Normally, collects significant amounts of wealth during the lifetime. Skilled in wealth-knowledge (how to acquire it, how to conserve it.) Often born into a highly capitalized family.

  • POTUS-pair-11 Polk Place 1803-1891 Sarah Childress Polk was born into a wealth family of slave-driven plantation farmers

Loves to talk and sing.

  • R-E-S-P-E-C-T 1942-2018 Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin [ministering-complaining Dhaniṣṭha-2] [navamsha Shukra-Kanya-nīcha ] [ātmakāraka-Dhaniṣṭha-Shukra-2 parivartamsha Kṛttikā-Shani-6]

  • beautification of the hair, face, mouth, throat, tongue, teeth; services of dentists, facial surgeons, and hair stylists


Appreciates one's own family - whatever may be their shortcomings

Attractive face, mouth, and teeth.

If Shukra is associated with more structured graha like Shani or the karmesha-10 , one may be attracted to professions such as architecture, design, dentistry, hair-styling, or facial surgery.

If Shani or Budha are associated with Shukra-2, one may study finance, conservation economics, storage, and banking.

Shukra in 2, or drishti of Shukra upon 2 = sweetened speech

  • Musical or artistic voice.

Much pleasure from stored treasuries of financial wealth , containers of knowledge, herds, hoards, histories, and every sort of collection of valuable objects.


All 3 in Pūrvāṣāḍhā

Shukra expanded by Guru + verbalized by Budha

rulers of 2 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 11 + 12 bring opulent food, drink, talk, and family assets

POTUS-pair-16 Illinois 1818-1882 Mary Todd Lincoln [argumentative-aggrieved Pūrvāṣāḍhā-2] [navamsha Shukra-Kanya-nīcha ] + [Budha-yuti-Guru]

  • Exceptionally well educated for a frontier woman of her day, mTL read French literature especially theatre [5] She loved to play dramatic roles in both English and French [2, languages]. MTL spoke articulately, often mimicing or comically repeating others. [Some laughed with enjoyment and some were insulted.] Overlty political and possessed of her own opinions [2] MTL was a vocal abolitionist and supporter of women's rights.
  • MTL's home salon was open to talk-seeking visitors at all hours, and she spent luxuriously [Shukra-Guru] on cultivating alliances [Shukra] to support her husband's ascending career.
  • Considered extravagant by some frugal observers (including her husband Abraham Lincoln )
  • nevertheless, mTL's home-based opulence made everyone feel welcome [Guru] so long as they came with a mind to express their politics [5] in a sociable style (Shukra-Guru).
  • MTL's food-loaded entertaining tables, legendary music-and-dance parties, and ability to discuss a wide variety of topics contributed substantially to e her unlikely rural-mannered husband becoming POTUS-16.

aesthetic preference, tastes, gifts

Pleasures from

Food and drink

fine scents and perfumes

cattle and milk-foods

Sensual pleasures

mouth, speech and song

family culture and tradition

treasuries of valuable goods and conserved knowledge

Naturally, these traits are modified when additional graha occupy bhava-2.richly sensual food and drink

Likes to prepare beautiful, attractive food, including food for the mind.

Attracted to fine music, fine arts, wealth, luxury, esp. wealthy and sensual women. Loves the fields and the forests (natural territory of Vrishabha [svakshetra] ) as well as their products such as fine oils and perfumes. A lover of fine qualities of material objects; a connoisseur of some special delicacy. (Character of the delicacy is indicated by the rashi.)


In the nativity of a husband with Shukra-2, aesthetic preference for a life-partner who displays qualities such as

  • appreciates the value of history and language in human culture
  • committed to perpetuating the man's lineage
  • has well-developed aesthetic tastes
  • produces or owns wealth and manages it well

Example


In the husband-role nativity, second wifely-companion may be notably beautiful or possessed of sensual value. The life-partner is typically wealthy and enjoys shared pleasures with financially privileged female friends and relatives particularly sisters.

  • Value comes from the voice, the hair, the teeth and mouth, the knowledge-base, and the family history.

The Wife, the Speech, the History, the Debates, the Treasury

In a wifely nativity, Shukra-2 indicates a predisposition to appreciate within oneself those values and environments that contain


knowledge of traditional values and ability to attract those values magnetically to oneself, generally via the family lineage

  • treasury accumulation, investment capital, banking

  • lovely expressions of speech and song

  • attractive face, voice, teeth, mouth, hair, eyes, naeck and jaw

Characteristics of the Attraction * akarshana * Environment where ones meets the life-partner(s)

  • genetic cataloging, family history
  • banking, capitalizing
  • song, eat + drink
  • mouth, language
  • face, teeth, eyes and hair
  • treasuries of valuable goods and conserved knowledge
  • art and music collections
  • musical performance
  • museums, history, storage,
  • herds, hoards

Often, the husbandly-figure meets the wifely-companion [Shukra] in a setting characterized as a traditional family gathering (kuṭumba-2), with the advocacy or negotiation [Shukra] of a member of his family, an environment of story-telling, speech or song, or in context of the study of history, languages, accumulated wealth, or practicing the arts of storage such as animal husbandry, genetic cataloging, banking, database arts, collected values, seed preservation, historic architecture, natural conservation, et-cetera.

  • Nepal 1945-2001 The Last Hindu King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah [financial-heritage Mūla-2] + [Mūla-Surya-yuti-Ketu-Mūla ] [2-family capital] Although the diplomatic marriage had been carefully arranged, bBBS first meeting with Aishwarya Rajya Laxmi Devi Shah happened as a formal introduction at an aristocratic family gathering. [Shukra-yuti-Surya royal wife] [Mūla-Shukra-yuti-Ketu-Mūla = eventual joint assassination]

The life-partner's ability to keep historic traditions is important to the native. The life-partner's treasuries of capital assets or knowledge may form the basis of the marriage. Similarly, face-hair-voice-mouth especially the virtue of singing or speaking may form of the core of marital attraction * akarshana *.

shad-ashtaka 6-8 angles from Shukra = polarizing catalysis areas for alliances

  • relatively little agreement in 6th-from;

    potentially illness and conflict

  • secrecy in 8th-from , and potentially catastrophic shock


Suhukra-2 = some peculiar disabilities. Kalatra bhava is itself 6th-from-Shukra , suggesting that a legal marriage contract is itself adversarial to Shukra's agenda of harmony, pleasure, treasure, and beauty.The terms of the marriage contract, particularly the service and exclusivity expectations, often create a sense of exploitation and unfairness.

8th-from Shukra = dharma bhava, producing an anti-philosophical and often anti-religious undercurrent due to rejection of sanctimonious priests and other dogmatists who would try to control the life force urge of one's mating behaviors. The father and patriarchal beliefs often form the catalyst for forced, sudden changes.


what seems "unfair" in the relationship

adversarial, conflicted 6th from Shukra-2 = yuvati-bhava-7

  • yoke, yoga, vow; covenant, convention, pact, compact, contract, conditional agreements; league, colleagues; agreement, alliance; faith, fiduciary, fidelity, federal, federation, affidavit, confidant; peers, pairing, parity, fairness, match, equity

  • polarity, polarizing, position-opposition, pendulum, undulation, alternation, bookends, range, course, swing,; value, worth, weight; truth, trust, truce, treaty, troth, betrothal

  • promise, compromise; pledge, oath, swear, answer, decide, decisions; Balance, Harmony, relationship, mutual Regard, design; Marriage, partnerships: terms of contract

shocking, secret 8th from Shukra-2 = dharma-bhava-9

  • Papa, pitru, pulpit, public Ritual, piety, patriarchy, paternalism, proselyte, presbyter, professor, philosophy, perfect Truth

  • wisdom teaching, worship, temples, universities, sacred places, priesthood, religious learning, ritual communication between human and divine, beliefs, faith, ceremony, sacred knowledge, sacred texts; sangha (sangiti, the reciters) = faith community;

    dharmasthāna = privilege to travel and learn Philosophical Wisdom and Religious Studies

QUOTATION from Das / Bepin Behari Shukra-2


" bestows deep wisdom , and a fondness of good food and dairy products.

  • You may acquire wealth through the opposite sex and experience a loosening of the morals, perhaps due to attachment to eating indulgences.

  • ... Tends to make poets. ... uses amiable and cheering speech... a sharp and religious mind.

  • You like to have the best at home and your family life is full of culture and traditions.
