Venus is combust while transiting Scorpio – Aquarius during 26 November 2025 at 11:14 IST – 17 February 2026 at 14:30 IST and will be in trine, opposition to retrograde Jupiter.
During this time, Saturn goes direct in Poorvabhadra nakshatra of Pisces (Meena Rasi) and separates from Rahu, who moves into its own nakshatra – Satabhisha on 2nd December 2025. This ends Shaapit or Cursed Yoga of 2025. which caused lot of negative impact on almost everyone.
Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio-Libra 10-29 November 2025 also ends and one can expect some positive changes for those who felt stuck since begining of this year.
Venus combustion or Sukra Moudhyami happens every year but this year, it happens twice after being combust and retrograde during March-April 2025 and this goes on for 83 days across 4 signs – Scorpio (Vrischika), Sagittarius (Dhanus), Capricorn (Makara) and Aquarius (Kumbha).
During this period, which is called as Sukra Moudyami , Positive effects of Venus will be drastically reduced and thus people who believe in vedic astrology, will not perform any auspicious ceremonies during this time such as weddings, engagements, house warming, launching of new business etc according to
Also avoidable are signing agreements, changing or joining new job, moving to a new house, proposing love, change of work place, interior designing at home or office.
However, talks, paperwork for above, repair work and construction which started already can be done during this period.
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, luxuries and comforts is within 10 degrees to Sun and goes combust. It can no longer be seen in the sky and significations of this planet suffer.
During this time, energy of Venus will be compromised or almost becomes NIL. Venus is one of the planets of Guidance (the other major benefic is Jupiter).
When we cannot see Venus we are “without guidance” and this is also called Venus Eclipse.
Venus is the planet of Value (Love and Relations). When it is invisible, it is harder to determine the true value of anything (Love, Gold, Relations, desired object etc.)
Therefore the 83 days period between 27 November 2025 – 17 February 2026 is a poor time for making decisions about love, relations, money.
This period is not suitable for starting new constructions, performing weddings, house warming ceremonies but it is okay to move into a new leased house or office space.
Venus, who controls movies, arts will not be beneficial for many who are depended on those fields. It is better not to start shootings of any new movies till late february 2026.
This ‘Venus Eclipse‘ can be seen couple of hours after sunset in west direction. Venus appears as a small black spot on Sun.
Get ready for financial crunch, breakup in relations, rejections, cheating, loneliness, frustration.
Those born with Venus as their ruling planet (born in ascendants or moon signs of taurus or libra, with moon in nakshatras of bharani, poorva phalguni, poorvashada, (born on friday) can get frustrated easily, lose self control over petty issues, loss of income, get irritated if others are watching entertainment programs.
Venus weakness due to combustion gives high and low tides in life and need strength of other planets to enable us fight natal and or transit afflictions.
If Venus is a benefic in your personal horoscope (generally born in ascendants of Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius) good effects will be minimized and if its a malefic for you (generally born in ascendants of Aries, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Pisces), it gives some relief during this combust period.
Combust Venus conjunct powerful Mars during December 2025 – January 2026 and later Venus conjunct Rahu and Saturn during January – March 2026 gives skin allergies, loss of beauty, unexpected love affairs, crime and exploitation of women, abuse etc.
It is better to postpone all cosmetic treatments or surgeries until March 2026.
Luckily, Venus is not retrograde during this combustion, which is good sign for love and long term relations. Few of those triggered during these 83 days can go on for longer period than expected.
Note : India’s ascendant is Taurus and its lord Venus being combust in 7,8,9,10 houses during transit is not good for its citizens, economy, internal affairs and relations with neighbouring countries.
Terrorist attacks, International criticism, economic slowdown, riots, frequent accidents, border conflicts with neighbors possible.
New Zealand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, USA, Canada, China, Japan, Korea will be hit by cyclones, floods, earth quakes, economic recession.
