Shukra ashtotharam

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Lord Shuka , the son on sage Brugu is the Guru of the Asuras.He is a good planet , who does not do any harm. Unlike the common perception, he does not lead to   riches but a life of love between  husband and wife. He is also callrd Brugu    and Kavi.  He is of white complexion   and agreeable looks, He  has four hands and carries a beaded garlan, stick  , lotus and sOme times a bow and arrow.  He is shown as riding on a horse or camel or sitting on a lotus flower . Rishabha Rasi and THula Rasi belongs to him. He is  Ucha in Meena rasi and Neecha in Kanya rasi .He takes about one month to cross a rasi  . He is strong  in second  , third, seventh   and twelfth houses and weak in sixth and eighth  houses.  To please Lord Shukra what we need to do is to pray Goddess  Lalitha. Shukra has  a teple dedicated to him in Kanjanoor in Tamil Nadu )
