Shukra Rashi Peyarchi — 2025

Shukra Rashi Calendar 2025 — what this timeline shows

This is the complete Venus sign-change calendar for 2025 — every rashi entry, retrograde loop, combust window, and peak-dignity moment for Venus (Shukra) laid out chronologically. The same underlying calendar is known by several regional names:

• Shukra Rashi Peyarchi 2025 — the primary name we use across the site; combines the Sanskrit "Shukra Rashi" (Venus sign) with "Peyarchi" (transit) into one clear label.
• Shukra Rashi Calendar 2025 / Venus Rashi Calendar — pan-Indian generic name emphasising sign changes.
• Shukra Peyarchi 2025 (சுக்ர பெயர்ச்சி) — Tamil / South Indian name; Peyarchi literally means “moving” or “transit”.
• Shukra Gochar 2025 (शुक्र गोचर) — North Indian Hindi name; Gochar means “movement across the sky”.
• Shukra Rashi Parivartan 2025 — Sanskrit name emphasising sign transformation.
• Venus Yearly Transit 2025 — English name used in Western Vedic astrology.

All refer to the same event set: each Venus sign visit for 2025 as a card, ordered chronologically. Because Venus retrogrades roughly every 19 months and can re-enter the previous sign, 2025 may contain more than 12 sign-visit cards — each retrograde re-entry counts as its own visit with its own entry and exit times.

Dignity filter chips

At the top of the timeline you'll find four dignity filter chips — Exalted, Own Sign, Debilitated, Neutral, and All — each showing a live count of matching Venus visits in 2025. Tap any chip to instantly narrow the timeline to just those visits:

• Exalted — every Venus-in-Pisces (Meena) visit in 2025. Sign-wide exaltation applies for the whole Pisces visit; each such card also carries a nested Peak Exaltation (~27° Pisces) sub-event window when Venus is at its sidereal strongest.
• Own Sign — every Venus-in-Taurus (Vrishabha) and Venus-in-Libra (Tula) visit. These are Venus's own rashis and considered strong. Includes Mooltrikona degrees in Libra (0°–15°) which some traditions treat as "even better than own".
• Debilitated — every Venus-in-Virgo (Kanya) visit. Sign-wide debilitation applies for the whole Virgo visit; each such card carries a nested Peak Debilitation (~27° Virgo) sub-event.
• Neutral — every other sign visit (Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius). Venus's dignity here depends on aspects and Nakshatra placement rather than the sign itself.
• All — clears the filter and shows every card again.

Retrograde and combust cards continue to show the amber/red info chips regardless of the active dignity filter — these are motion-state flags, orthogonal to the sign-based dignity.

Common questions this page answers

Between the dignity filter, retrograde badges, and combust badges, most Venus-timing questions can be answered in one or two clicks. Common examples:

• When is Venus exalted in 2025? — click Exalted. The Pisces card(s) show the full sign-wide exaltation window plus the nested Peak Exaltation (the exact 27°00'00" Pisces crossing, about 20 seconds).
• When is Venus debilitated in 2025? — click Debilitated. The Virgo card(s) show the full window plus nested Peak Debilitation moment.
• When is Venus in its own sign (Taurus / Libra) in 2025? — click Own Sign. Both Taurus and Libra visits appear together with entry, exit, and duration.
• When is Venus retrograde (Shukra Vakri) in 2025? — scan for the red Retrograde badge on cards. Nested station-retrograde and station-direct moments give the exact ~40-42 day window. Some years have no Venus retrograde at all; others have one full retrograde spanning two sign visits.
• When is Venus combust (Shukra Asta) in 2025? — scan for the red Combust badge. Combust windows occur once or twice a year, at the inferior and superior Sun-Venus conjunctions of the ~19-month cycle. Nested entry and exit moments give the exact window.
• When is Venus in Pisces / Taurus / Libra / Virgo in 2025? — use the dignity filter for a one-click answer, or scroll the timeline to the relevant month.
• When is Venus in Aries / Gemini / Cancer / Leo / Scorpio / Sagittarius / Capricorn / Aquarius in 2025? — click Neutral. All eight neutral-dignity visits are shown with entry and exit dates.
• When are the best wedding-Muhurta Venus days in 2025? — classical rule: Venus direct + uncombust + in Pisces/Taurus/Libra. Filter Exalted or Own Sign, then rule out any window that overlaps a retrograde or combust badge.

What's inside each sign-visit card

• Sign & entry / exit times in your local timezone, plus the total duration.
• Sign-wide dignity — Exalted (whole Pisces visit), Own (Taurus and Libra), or Debilitated (whole Virgo visit) — the badge names the strongest dignity the visit reaches. Libra is not uniform: see the band breakdown below.
• Retrograde sub-events — if Venus goes retrograde during this sign visit, the exact station-retrograde and station-direct moments are listed as nested rows.
• Combust sub-events — if Venus enters and/or exits the Sun's combustion range during this visit, both boundary moments are listed.
• Peak Exaltation / Debilitation sub-events — the moment Venus crosses the exact peak degree (27°00'00" Pisces or 27°00'00" Virgo). Not a range: about 20 seconds.
• Dignity band sub-events — Libra changes dignity partway through, so every Libra card lists both windows with their own entry and exit times: moolatrikona 0°00'00"–15°00'00", then own sign 15°00'01"–29°59'59". Because Venus retrogrades, a single visit can cross that boundary more than once and the bands then alternate. Hover any band badge for its exact bounds.

How to use the 2025 timeline

The colored year-progress bar above the cards shows the whole year at a glance, with each colored segment representing one sign visit. Hover any bar segment to preview its start and end dates. Cards below give the full readout. Practical use cases for 2025:

• Wedding date planning — find every window when Venus is direct, uncombust, and in Pisces / Taurus / Libra during 2025. These are the classical preferred Muhurta windows.
• Retrograde awareness — every Venus retrograde in 2025 is called out. Vedic tradition considers these periods less favorable for starting new relationships, artistic ventures, or luxury purchases.
• Combust awareness — combust windows in 2025 are called out for Venus-signified matters like engagement announcements and cosmetic treatments.
• Peak dignity moments — the 2025 peak-exaltation windows in Pisces are considered the strongest annual Venus moments and are prized for Lakshmi rituals.

How the 2025 events are calculated

Every sign entry, retrograde station, combust boundary, and peak-dignity boundary in the 2025 timeline is computed via Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri Ayanamsha, resolved to the exact ephemeris instant via binary search. Retrograde stations are found by tracking when Venus's sidereal speed reverses sign; combust boundaries by tracking the Sun-Venus angular distance against the classical 10° direct / 8° retrograde threshold from the Surya Siddhanta; sign, nakshatra, and peak-dignity boundaries by tracking Venus's sidereal longitude. No analytical formulas, interpolation tables, or approximations are used.
