Venus ast (Shukra Ast / Venus Combust) in vedic astrology
In Vedic astrology, Venus ast (Combust Venus) occurs when Venus comes very close to the sun in the zodiac. Due to the sun’s intense brightness and heat, Venus loses its visible strength and becomes combust (Astangata or Moudhya). Since Venus stays relatively close to the Sun, combustion happens quite frequently.
Venus represents love, marriage, relationships, luxury, beauty, comforts, creativity and material pleasures. When Venus becomes combust, its external expressions of love, harmony and enjoyment may weaken or become internally suppressed.
