My shukra antardasha in mangal mahadasha runs till next year. We have been talking to a family for my marriage. Is this a good time to say yes?
This sub-period is often studied for marriage, but the answer sits in your chart and his. Please share both birth details. I will check Venus's house and lordship, where Venus sits from Mars, and both 7th houses.
Short answer
Venus antardasha in Mars mahadasha (mangal mahadasha shukra antardasha) is the longest sub-period, 1 year 2 months, starting 4 years 10 months 24 days into the 7 years. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra links a well placed Venus with position, comfort, family growth and land, and Venus badly placed from Mars with strain at home and money loss.

Questions people ask
What happens in mangal mahadasha shukra antardasha?
Mangal mahadasha shukra antardasha is linked by Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra to position, comfort, long life, family growth and land when Venus is well placed or rules a good house. Venus in the 6th, 8th or 12th from Mars, or with malefics, is read as strain at home and money loss. The chart decides which applies.
Should we fix our wedding date inside the Venus bhukti of my Mars dasha?
You can, and many astrologers study this sub-period for marriage, since BPHS 54.56 links Venus tied to the ascendant lord with growth of spouse and children. It is one input. An astrologer reads your 7th house, Venus, Jupiter's transit and, for a match, both charts.
What is the time period of Mars dasha Venus bhukti?
Mars dasha Venus bhukti lasts exactly 1 year 2 months on the 360-day year, about 426 calendar days. That is 7 years times Venus's 20 years, divided by 120. It begins 4 years 10 months 24 days into Mars mahadasha and is the longest of its nine sub-periods.
How is Mars-Venus for a Leo or Gemini ascendant?
For a Leo ascendant Venus rules the 3rd and 10th and Mars is the yogakaraka, ruling the 4th and 9th, so astrologers read verse 54.60 on the 10th lord. For Gemini, Venus rules the 5th, a good house under verse 54.55, and the 12th. House placement then decides the reading.
What remedy does BPHS give in Mars-Venus?
BPHS 54.63 names giving a white cow or buffalo, for Venus as 2nd or 7th lord. Simple practices such as keeping the home tidy and respecting your partner cost nothing. Never buy a diamond or opal under pressure, and get a second opinion before paying for any ritual.
Can we both talk to the same Kismo astrologer about our marriage?
Yes, you can share both birth details in one Kismo chat or call, and the astrologer reads both charts. Each astrologer sets one rate for chat and call, from ₹15 a minute, billed per started minute from your wallet. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages.
An astrologer says my marriage needs a costly Shukra puja in this sub-period. Should I pay?
Do not pay for a costly Shukra puja sold under fear. No verse in BPHS 54.55-63 makes marriage depend on a paid ritual. On Kismo, pressure to pay or asking for money outside the app counts as misconduct. After a session the app suggests up to three other astrologers for a second opinion.
