Venus in the tradition
Venus — Shukra — governs love, beauty, art, comfort and marriage. It is the planet most often consulted for relationships and creative work.
The 6 Mukhi, given to Kartikeya, is the everyday Venus bead and one of the most worn Rudraksha overall. The 13 Mukhi, given to Kamadeva, the god of desire, is the rarer and more specific choice — chosen for attraction and charm rather than for Venus in general.

Common questions
Which Rudraksha is worn for Venus?
Traditionally 6 Mukhi and 13 Mukhi. Which one suits you depends on your chart and on what you intend the bead for, so treat this as a starting point rather than a prescription.
Which mantra is chanted with these beads?
Each bead has its own beej mantra. 6 Mukhi: Om Hreem Hum Namah; 13 Mukhi: Om Hreem Namah. It is traditionally chanted when the bead is first worn.
Do I need my birth chart before choosing?
Not necessarily. Many people choose by intention rather than by planet. If you do want the astrological route, an astrologer working from your own chart will give you a better answer than a category page can.
These are traditional associations recorded in Vedic and Puranic sources. They are described here as tradition, not as medical or therapeutic claims, and no bead is a substitute for medical care.
