Venus: The Whispering Soul of Desire
Venus represents attraction, charm and emotional balance it also shows how we connect with others what we value in relationships and the pleasures that bring happiness. While the Sun represents individuality and vitality Venus shows how we share our light and build relationships that enrich our journey.
It gently reminds us that true beauty is not only about outer appearance but also about kindness, compassion and the ability to give and receive love.
Venus in Astronomy
Venus is Earth’s sister planet because it is almost similar to Earth in size and brightness it is the brightest planet visible from Earth in the night sky. It is often the first star like light seen at dawn and dusk so it is called the “Morning Star” or “Evening Star”. Covered in golden clouds it hides intense heat inside making it the hottest planet in the solar system it is much closer to the Sun than Earth with an average distance of about 67 million miles.
Because its orbit is almost circular its distance from the Sun changes very little. When this planet reaches inferior conjunction, meaning it comes between Earth and the Sun it is about 25 million miles away from us.
The size of this planet is almost the same as Earth. Its diameter is about 7,600 miles, while Earth’s diameter is about 7,900 miles it completes one orbit around the Sun in 225 days. However its thick atmosphere traps heat making Shukra Grah the hottest planet in the solar system even hotter than Mercury the closest planet to the Sun.
Symbolically this dual nature reflects Venus’s astrological meaning. Behind its peaceful glow lies a deeper force teaching us that true beauty is more than appearance it is the warmth that transforms relationships, creativity and prosperity.

Acharya Shri Devesh Kumar Thakur Ji was born into a Maithili Brahmin family, and from childhood, he was blessed with knowledge of parapsychology and paranormal vision. His father was the Head of Department (HoD) of Archaeology at a government university, and his mother was a teacher at a government school. Both his maternal and paternal grandfathers retired from high-ranking positions in the Department of Education & Power Project, Government of India.
With the divine blessings from Matarani, Goddess Durga, Guruji started astrological predictions from childhood by looking at palms and foreheads. Along with formal education, Acharya ji was especially interested in Tantra-mantra, spirituality, meditation, and the presence and usage of invisible paranormal powers. Guruji had completed his M.B.A. in 1995. He had started his own business, and for 17 years he acted as a Managing Director in a Pvt. Ltd. company, and after that he had served as Sr. Vice President (Sr. V.P.) of a big IT company. And thereafter, he has taken responsibility for social service for the suffering people.
Hastarekha (Palmistry), Samudrik-shastra, Jyotisha (Astrology), Tantra, and Parapsychology were his natural fields of interest, and due to that, he had studied them deeply. As a worshiper of Devi Shakti since the age of 22, he spent many of his nights in the cremation ground (Shamshana) near Kalidas’s Ishta Devata, Maa Ucchaith Bhagawati, by performing Shamshan Sadhana to experience those paranormal energies or supernatural spirits.
He performed severe austerities (sadhana) for Maa Pitambari and Haridra Ganapati and accomplished many next-to-impossible tasks and, through various rituals across many families and societies, completed works that had stalled.
