✦ FAQs ✦
Q. Can marriage happen during Venus retrograde?
Traditional shastra — avoid. Modern practice more flexible. If necessary, perform panchang-shuddhi and brahmana mantra shanti.
Q. Should everyone wear diamond?
No. Only when Venus is well-placed and in friendly rashi. Caution for Mesh-Vrishchika. Mandatory consultation.
