What Venus governs
Venus signifies love, relationships, luxury, art, comforts, spouse. Its strength is read from the sign it occupies, the house it sits in, the company it keeps and the aspects it receives — never from one factor alone.
The Venus dasha
In the Vimshottari system Venus runs for 20 years. It governs the nakshatras Bharani, Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha, so a Moon in any of those begins life inside a Venus period.
