Venus Return Calculator - Marriage and Love Timing
Frequently asked questions about Venus Return
What is a Venus Return on this page?
It is transiting Venus (Shukra) back at the same Lahiri sidereal degree it occupied at birth, about once a year. From Earth Venus stays near the Sun, so the return usually falls when the Sun is near natal Venus. The calculator lists each exact hit, a 3° orb window, and whether one is running now. Treat it as a repeating love and relationship clock, not as a wedding date.
Does a Venus Return mean I will marry or meet someone that day?
No. Being inside the 3° window, or Venus occupying the 5th or 7th from Lagna, is a timing flag. Marriage still depends on natal yoga, the dasha you are already running, the other person's chart, and ordinary life. Plenty of returns pass with no event. Read it as a season, not a guarantee.
How is this different from Marriage Yoga or Vivah Muhurat?
Marriage Timing Possibility times marriage from natal yoga and Vimshottari Dasha age-windows. Vivah Muhurat picks a wedding date from the panchang. This page is only transiting Venus relative to natal Venus and the 5th/7th from Lagna. Use all three together rather than as substitutes.
Why can one return show three exact dates?
Venus stations and turns retrograde. If that station falls near your natal Venus degree, transiting Venus can cross the degree direct, recross it retrograde, then cross it direct again. All three are exact returns in one cycle. The 3° window around them is the same return, not three separate ones.
What do Venus in the 5th and 7th from Lagna mean here?
Whole-sign houses from your birth Lagna. Venus in the 5th is the classical romance and courtship stretch, usually about three to four weeks. Venus in the 7th is the partnership and marriage-house stretch. They are occupancy windows, not a promise that a relationship starts on the first day.
How is this different from Jupiter Return or Saturn Return?
A Jupiter Return is first the ~13-month Guru rashi year, and a Saturn Return is transiting Saturn back at natal Saturn about every 29.5 years. The natal-degree Venus Return is about once a year. Venus in the 5th or 7th from Lagna is a shorter occupancy. Natal love yoga is on Love and Relationship Possibility. Two-chart matching is Kundli Milan.
What is a Venus Return?
A Venus Return is a transit to natal Venus (Shukra). From Earth, Venus never strays far from the Sun, so transiting Venus comes back to your birth degree about once a year - often when the Sun is near natal Venus. Retrograde motion can stretch that gap or produce three exact dates in one cycle. This page uses Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the same sidereal Venus as Kundli Maker. Western tropical Venus Return dates can differ because the natal degree itself differs.
Venus stations and turns retrograde, so one cycle can have a single exact date or three exact dates (direct, retrograde, direct). The calculator lists every exact hit and a 3° orb window around them. Being "in" a Venus Return here means transiting Venus is within 3° of natal Venus - a repeating love and relationship clock, not a verdict that you will marry or meet someone on that day.
A second clock on this page is occupancy: when transiting Venus sits in the 5th from Lagna (romance, dating) or the 7th from Lagna (partnership, marriage), each stretch lasting about three to four weeks. That is not the same as Marriage Timing Possibility, which times marriage from natal yoga and Vimshottari Dasha, and not Vivah Muhurat, which picks a wedding date from the panchang. It is also not a Jupiter Return (~13-month Guru rashi year) or a Saturn Return (~29.5 years to natal Saturn). Natal love yoga is on Love and Relationship Possibility. Pick the birth city from the suggestions so the Lagna houses are the sidereal ones this site uses.
