Venus transit 2025 effects by Moon sign
A transit is read from your Moon sign (Janma Rashi), not your Sun sign. Venus gives good results when it transits the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th houses from the Moon, and mixed or testing ones elsewhere. The table above lists the Moon signs each of its 2025 stays favours.
How long Venus (Shukra) stays in a sign
Venus stays in a sign for about a month, up to 4 months when retrograde. Venus enters about 12 signs a year. Every 18 months or so it turns retrograde for about six weeks and lingers in one sign.
Why these dates differ from Western astrology
These dates use the Vedic sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, which is about 24° behind the tropical zodiac of Western astrology. So Venus enters each sign here weeks after the date a Western horoscope gives for the same sign. Times are for port sudan: the moment of a transit is the same everywhere, but the local date can differ.
