Malavya yoga (Venus)
Malavya is the Mahapurusha yoga of Venus. It forms when Venus is in its own sign or exalted and stands in an angle, and it describes grace, taste, comfort and the ability to make life beautiful.
How the JyotiSoft engine checks it
Venus in Taurus or Libra (its own signs) or in Pisces (its exaltation), standing in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house counted from the lagna.

Share of 3,000 charts computed by the JyotiSoft engine for random births (1950–2010, any hour, places from 40° S to 60° N). A common yoga is not a lesser one, but its presence alone says little; what matters is its strength in the whole chart.
Where Venus must stand for each ascendant
| Ascendant | Placement that forms the yoga |
|---|---|
| Aries ascendant | Libra, 7th house |
| Taurus ascendant | Taurus, 1st house |
| Gemini ascendant | Pisces, 10th house |
| Cancer ascendant | Libra, 4th house |
| Leo ascendant | Taurus, 10th house |
| Virgo ascendant | Pisces, 7th house |
| Libra ascendant | Libra, 1st house |
| Scorpio ascendant | Taurus, 7th house |
| Sagittarius ascendant | Pisces, 4th house |

What it gives
The texts describe the Malavya native as attractive, refined, fond of good things and blessed with vehicles, comforts and a happy married life. Today the yoga shows in artists, designers, musicians, people in hospitality, fashion and finance, and in anyone with a talent for harmony between people.
What makes it strong
In the 4th, Venus gives a beautiful home and vehicles; in the 7th, a loving partnership; in the 10th, a career in beauty or diplomacy; in the 1st, charm itself. For Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants Venus is the yogakaraka and Malavya there is especially valuable. Combustion or a Venus hemmed in by malefics reduces it. Its twenty-year dasha is when it shows most.
Living with it
The gift of Malavya is ease; its risk is indulgence. The yoga gives most when comfort serves something, such as an art practised seriously, a home that welcomes others, or a relationship tended with care.
