Introduction
In this post, I would like to explain what happens when your natal Rahu is conjunct with Venus. These series are dealing with Rahu and Ketu (the North Node and the South Node, respectively) conjunctions to other planets. If you are curious where your Rahu and Ketu are placed, please click HERE to calculate your chart. I also offer past life readings on my ETSY STORE, in which I go much more deeply into interpreting your Rahu and Ketu. The following is just an overview that will help you get some ideas about the effects of Rahu Venus conjunction.
What Rahu Conjunctions Represent
In Vedic astrology, Rahu represents the area of our inexperience in this lifetime. Planets conjunct with Rahu tend to be weaker and less developed. This is because the qualities they represent may not be fully or healthily established in the native’s character and behaviour. Due to uncertainty about how to approach these attributes, individuals may exemplify them in strange, unusual, or even false ways. Positively, this can lead to original and out-of-the-box thinking. However, negatively, Rahu influencing planets through conjunction can result in many confused choices and mistakes.
Rahu Venus Conjunction
When Rahu is conjunct with Venus, it shows that you did not spend enough time, effort, and energy on developing Venusian qualities in your recent past lives. The primary function of Venus is obtaining fulfilment and nourishment from the world external world in a way that is not damaging to oneself or to others. We use Venus to evaluate the available choices and to make decisions based on a sense of worth and dignity.
When Rahu is conjunct with Venus, engaging in balanced and fulfilling interactions with the world is your area of inexperience in this lifetime. First of all, this permutation can significantly impact your ability to be tactful and diplomatic. Sometimes, you struggle to discern and understand the subtle nuances of social conduct. Thus, it may cause problematic situations where you unintentionally offend others or create misunderstandings. Instead, you prefer a more direct, blunt, and unvarnished communication style. This can be perceived as slightly insensitive, particularly by individuals who prioritise politeness and consideration to avoid causing harm.

Furthermore, evaluating choices available to you might be difficult. You subconsciously gravitate towards desiring options that may seem promising on the surface, but actually cost too much time, money, involvement, or stress in the long run. This is because you are unable to properly appraise their real value. Due to the illusory nature of Rahu influencing Venus, you may overlook hidden or simply less apparent drawbacks, risks, or costs associated with pursuing certain choices, which ultimately prove to be unsustainable or detrimental. This issue becomes especially noticeable in relationships. More specifically, there is a tendency to develop feelings for the wrong people before fully grasping their true essence.
How does it work? You may find yourself drawn to partners based solely on a few specific traits or qualities that resonate with you. This selective attraction occurs because the attribute you find appealing in your significant other mirrors something that you find yourself lacking within yourself. For instance, you might be enamoured by your partner’s confidence, charm, or intelligence. Yet you may not fully recognise other crucial aspects of their personality, like their values, communication style, or long-term goals. This results in investing significant energy and time into relationships that ultimately fail to meet expectations, leading to disillusionment. Adding further confusion to your partnerships, the obsessive quality of Rahu influencing Venus can also make you fixate on fulfilling certain desires or cravings at all costs. All these challenges make it hard for you to maintain balance and moderation in your love life.
