Physical pleasures and sensuality is an integral part of life for all Venusians. When Venus is not so strongly placed in the chart, the subject suffers from lack of physical appeal, coarse behaviour, and a tendency for failure in love or married life. Venus strongly affects the physical beauty in a person. It rules eyes, nose, chin, throat sexual organs, kidneys, bladder, etc. Weakly placed Venus may yield infertility, urinary tract infections, kidney problems, feeble immune system, etc. A strong, but wrongly placed Venus causes the subject to indulge in excesses of food, wine and sex, which again fire backs on the person"s well-being. Venus enriches one"s life with beauty, arts, love and knowledge. It is this planet of peace and harmony, which brings revel and joy in every sphere of life.
