Mumbai: A major planetary shift has taken place in Vedic astrology. On 21 August, Venus, the planet of wealth, love and luxury, entered the water sign Cancer. This transit holds special importance as Venus has joined Mercury, already placed in Cancer, forming the highly auspicious Lakshmi Narayan Yoga.
Astrologers believe that this rare planetary combination will bring abundance, prosperity, and happiness to certain zodiac signs. While the effects will be felt by all, five signs in particular are set to benefit the most, witnessing growth in finances, relationships, and overall fortune. Here’s a detailed look at which signs will be lucky under this cosmic influence.
Significance of Lakshmi Narayan Yoga
In Vedic astrology, Lakshmi Narayan Yoga is regarded as a highly auspicious alignment. It forms when Venus (the planet of wealth and comfort) and Mercury (the planet of intellect and trade) come together in the same sign. This yoga blesses individuals with prosperity, wisdom, success in business, and harmonious relationships. With Venus now in Cancer alongside Mercury, five zodiac signs are especially favoured by Goddess Lakshmi’s grace.
Taurus (Vrishabha)
For Taurus natives, ruled by Venus itself, this transit acts like a blessing. The Lakshmi Narayan Yoga forms in their third house, bringing courage, confidence, and support from siblings and friends. Career and business prospects will improve, new income sources may open up, and financial strength will increase significantly.
Gemini (Mithun)
For Gemini, this auspicious yoga falls in the second house, the house of wealth and family. Sudden financial gains are likely, and pending money may be recovered. Speech will turn sweeter, strengthening social and family bonds. A peaceful domestic environment and the possibility of auspicious events at home are also highlighted.
Leo (Simha)
For Leo natives, this yoga appears in the twelfth house, associated with expenses and foreign connections. While expenditures may rise, they will be for good causes such as travel, spiritual activities, or investments. Benefits from abroad are strongly indicated, whether through foreign business, travel, or partnerships. Spiritual inclination will also deepen.
Libra (Tula)
For Libra, ruled by Venus, this yoga forms in the tenth house, representing career and profession. Promotions, salary hikes, or new opportunities may come for working professionals. Business owners may secure big profits and new contracts. Social respect and workplace reputation will rise, giving a career a new direction.
Capricorn (Makar)
For Capricorn natives, Lakshmi Narayan Yoga falls in the seventh house, which governs marriage and partnerships. Married life will improve with better understanding and harmony. Singles may receive promising marriage proposals. In business, partnerships will prove profitable and bring stability. Social image and personal relationships will also strengthen.
Impact on other zodiac signs
Though especially beneficial for Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Libra, and Capricorn, this yoga influences all zodiac signs in varying degrees. Aries, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Pisces may experience mixed outcomes, ranging from moderate financial benefits to personal growth and spiritual progress. Overall, Venus’s transit into Cancer and the formation of Lakshmi Narayan Yoga is set to be a lucky phase for many.
