Shukra (Venus) mahadasha for Vrishchika (Scorpio) Moon sign

In the Vimshottari system a life moves through nine long periods, each ruled by one planet. The planet that rules the period sets the tone of those years: the areas of life that come forward, and the kind of effort that pays.

The Venus mahadasha lasts 20 years in full. Most people meet it partway through, so the part they live through can be shorter.

Venus stands for love, partnership, comfort, beauty and the arts. Its period tends to bring relationships, pleasant surroundings, creative work and the things that make life comfortable.

Counted from Scorpio as the first house, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, your 7th and 12th houses. During its period the matters of both come forward:

The 7th house is partners, marriage and dealings with other people. Its lord's period tends to bring partnerships forward, in marriage and in business, and to teach through other people.

The 12th house is spending, rest, time abroad and letting go. Its lord's period tends to bring expenses, travel or a stay away from home, and a pull towards quiet and spiritual practice.

Venus is neither friend nor enemy to Mars, the lord of Scorpio. Its period tends to give what you put into it; the planets' places in your own chart decide more than this relationship does.

Which mahadasha you are in, and when it began, depends on the Moon's nakshatra at the moment you were born, so it is personal to you. Even within the Venus mahadasha, where the planet sits in your own chart and the sub-periods inside it shape the years more than your Moon sign alone.
