Important Notes
11
Malavya Yoga is one of the five Mahapurusha Yogas (others: Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Shasha)
Venus represents beauty, luxury, arts, relationships, and material comforts
"Extramarital inclination" – Venus's sensual nature can lead to multiple relationships
"Long upper limbs approaching the knees" – a rare physical description indicating a proportionately long body
"Earns through own effort" – self-made wealth, not inherited
100 years – same as Hamsa Yoga, the longest lifespan among Mahapurusha Yogas
