According to Vedic astrology, a Rahu-Venus conjunction and a Ketu-Venus conjunction have different effects on a person’s life and that depends on the sign, house, and aspects involved. The significances of rahu, ketu and venus as per that horoscope.
But before jumping to the conjunction effect one need to understand the nature of rahu and ketu first specially because the nature of Rahu and Ketu have very extreme and opposite nature.
Rahu is a greedy planet and believes in all kind materialistic pleasure of life while Ketu is exactly opposite of it who believes it as waste as the experience is only temporary.
Here are some general differences between the two conjunctions:
Rahu-Venus conjunction can amplify the desire for love, romance, luxury, and wealth. Rahu is the planet of illusion, obsession, and expansion, while Venus is the planet of beauty, harmony, and pleasure. When they are in conjunction, they can create a strong attraction towards the opposite sex, material comforts, and sensual enjoyments. However, this can also lead to dissatisfaction, deception, and instability in relationships, as Rahu can distort the reality of Venus. A person with this conjunction may have multiple partners, affairs, or unconventional relationships. They may also have a tendency to overspend, overindulge, or gamble.
On the other hand, Ketu-Venus conjunction can reduce the interest in worldly affairs and increase the inclination towards spirituality and detachment. Ketu is the planet of liberation, renunciation, and past karma, while Venus is the planet of love, art, and creativity. When they are in conjunction, they can create a conflict between the material and spiritual aspects of life. A person with this conjunction may have a lack of satisfaction, commitment, or intimacy in relationships, as Ketu can diminish the charm of Venus. They may also have a strong intuition, psychic ability, or artistic talent. They may seek a partner who is spiritually connected or simple in nature.
