Venus in the Ninth House
Sutras 49-58-If Venus is in the ninth house, the native will be religious minded, will devote himself to meditation and will perform religious rites, he will have very auspicious signs in his foot (like lotus, ankush, conch, etc), will enjoy all kinds of comforts and will be blessed with children. The father of the native will be long lived. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic there may be loss of father early in native’s life. Again if Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic, or is in the house of a malefic or is in his sign of debilitation, there will be loss of wealth and the native will have illicit relations with the preceptor’s wife. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a benefic (or is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation), the native will enjoy high prosperity as a result of Maharaja yoga. If Venus is associated with the lord of the 4th or 7th house, the native will be exceedingly fortunate and enjoy the comforts of all kinds of conveyances, dresses and ornaments.
Comments-The ninth house is the most auspicious house in a nativity. When a great benefic is posited there, all the good significations of the house will become fruitful. The results will become more beneficial when Venus is associated with or aspected by benefics and is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation. When Venus is in his own sign Taurus, the ascendant will be Virgo and Venus will be in the 9th as lord of the 2nd and when Venus is in his own sign Libra, the ascendant will be Aquarius, and Venus will be in the ninth as lord of the 4th and 9th houses. These are very powerful Dhana yogas.
The following horoscope of the late Jamshedji Tata illustrates the above point of view: ‘Further the disposition of Venus in his own sign in the ninth (lord of ninth in the ninth) will give rise to a distinguished Raja yoga making the native very wealthy, highly respected and famous.

Saravali-The native will have a stout constitution. He will acquire great wealth, will be generous and will be happy in respect of wife and friends. He will devote himself to the service of his guests, preceptor and gods.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be a prosperous moneylender and religious minded. He will have happiness in respect of his brothers (as Venus aspects the third house). He will live a very comfortable and happy life.
Note-All the above authorities are agreed that Venus proves very auspicious and beneficial when posited in the ninth house.
Venus in the Tenth House
Sutras 59-61-If Venus is in the tenth house, the native will be full of glory. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic, the native will have difficulties and obstacles in his undertakings. If Venus is associated with Mercury, Jupiter and Moon, the effects will be as under:- (a) The native will enjoy the comfort of many conveyances. (b) He will perform religious ceremonies of many kinds. (c) He will enjoy world wide reputation. (d) He will enjoy many Raja yogas (that is, he will be wealthy, honoured and famous). (e) He will be very fortunate and talkative.
Comments-According to above Sutras, Venus gives very beneficial results in the tenth in respect of the significations of this house unless afflicted. The results will be far more beneficial when Venus gets associated with three benefics-Jupiter, Mercury and Moon. All the effects given are logical and relevant to the significations of the tenth house. For the Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, Venus will be in the 10th, as lord of the 2nd and 9th, the 5th and 10th the 4th and 9th respectively. For the Cancer ascendant, Venus will be in the 10th as lord of 4th and llth. These dispositions give rise to very powerful Dhana yogas. When Venus is posited in the 10th in his own sign (lord of 10th in 10th), a distinguished Raja yoga is formed which will confer great wealth, name and fame upon the native. Venus in the tenth is in Kendra to the ascendant. The disposition of Venus there in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Malavya yoga, the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter.
Venus a benefic being in the 10th to the ascendant also gives rise to the Amala yoga, the effects of which have been given as under:
“The person will achieve lasting fame and reputation. His character will be spotless and he will lead a prosperous life”.

Venus in the Eleventh House
Sutras 62-64-If Venus is in the eleventh house, the native will be learned, very wealthy, owner of lands and kind hearted. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a benefic the native will enjoy the comforts of many conveyances. If Venus is in conjunction with a malefic, the gain of wealth will be through questionable means. If Venus is associated with a benefic the financial gains will be through rightful means. If Venus is in his sign of debilitation or is associated with a malefic or the lord of 8th, 6th or 12th there will be no financial gains.
Comments-The effects given in the above Sutras are very logical and relevant to the significations of the eleventh house. For Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius and Cancer ascendants, Venus will be in the eleventh, as lord of the 2nd and 9th, the 5th and 10th, the 4th and 9th and the 4th and llth respectively. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. Another very gainful position for Venus in the eleventh will be in her sign of exaltation. Then Venus will be exalted in the llth as lord of the ascendant (Taurus ascendant).
