Venus in Tula (Libra): meaning
Tula is a movable air sign ruled by Venus, so the planet is in svakshetra. In Parashari tradition Venus is in moolatrikona from 0° to 15° of Tula and in plain own sign from 15° to 30°. Venus's themes of love, beauty and balance are expressed in a sign built for them. Tula is the natural seventh sign, linked to marriage, partnership and public life, so the placement is traditionally supportive for relationships.
Venus in Tula can form Malavya yoga when it stands in a kendra from the Lagna or Moon, linked in tradition with beauty, comfort and refinement. Strength depends on house, aspects and combustion. An afflicted Venus may bring indecision, over-reliance on others or indulgence. The air element gives refinement and sociability.
