Shukra (Venus) mahadasha
20 years
Shukra's mahadasha is a time of comfort, love and art. The pull towards sweetness in relationships, beauty in life and cheer in the heart grows; matters like marriage and partnership come forward. Do not lose your direction amid the comforts — keep that much in mind, and this period is counted among life's colourful ones.
