♀ Venus in House III - Younger Brother & Courage
Bhrigu Sutras
Venus in the Third House
Sutras 20-22-If Venus is in the third house, the native will be very miser, he will be tolerant, there will be a good number of brothers and the native will have success by his determined efforts. Later on, the number of brothers will decrease. In successive order the native's brothers will have less and less of financial gains by their efforts. If the lord of the third house is strong, is in his own or in his sign of exaltation, there will be increase in the number of brothers. If the lord of the third house is in the 6th, 8th or 12th house or he is associated with malefics there will be loss of brothers.
Comments-In Sutra 20 it is stated that there will be growth in the number of brothers and also that is decrease in the number of brothers or deprivation of brothers. This statement is not clear because Venus as a benefic should cause only increase and not decrease of brothers. Further Venus being feminine should give more sisters than brothers. The learned author has not talked of sisters while giving the effects of third house.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will be stingy.
Phaldeepika-The native will be miser, not liked by people, without happiness and wealth and also without wife.
Saravali-The native will be miser, happy and wealthy wife will dominate over the native, he will not be courageous and will be unfortunate.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will not like women. He will not lose his brothers and sisters. He will have children but will not be happy in regard to them. He will not be courageous.
Note-All the above authorities have given different effects of Venus in the third house. Saravali says that the native will be happy and will be wealthy but he will be unfortunate. If we closely examine these views we will come to the conclusion that Venus has not been considered good in the third house. We, however, think that if Virgo or Aquarius is the ascendant, Venus will be lord of the 9th house. Venus in the third house will aspect the 9th house (his own house) and will improve the significations of that house, making the native prosperous.
