Venus (Shukra) Nakshatra Transit 2024
Venus rules love, marriage, comfort, art and luxury. It spends roughly a month in each sign and turns retrograde about every 19 months.
Each sign holds two and a quarter nakshatras (13°20' each). A nakshatra transit is the moment a graha moves from one lunar mansion into the next, a finer timing layer than the sign change that is used in muhurta, Panchang and event timing. The Venus spends about 4 weeks in each sign. Times below are exact to the minute, calculated with the sidereal Lahiri ayanamsa.

Rows marked Retrograde are crossings made while Venus is moving backward, so it can appear to re-enter the same nakshatra more than once.
Note: positions are calculated with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa using the Swiss Ephemeris. Other Panchang sources use slightly different ayanamsa values, so their times can differ from these by a few minutes for the Sun and Moon, and by more for slower planets such as Jupiter and Saturn.
