The 7th House and Venus Do Not Assign a Body
Classical authors use the word napunsaka for certain strained conditions of Venus, Mercury, and the 7th house. Venus is the karaka of desire and marriage, Mercury of dual and youthful signification, and the 7th is the house of the partner. A kundli that mentions those factors is still not a finding about a body's function, a medical status, or anyone's identity. This page does not list a combination as a cause, and it states no medical outcome.

What those grahas are for
Venus rules Taurus and Libra, is exalted in Pisces, and is debilitated in Virgo. His mahadasha lasts twenty years and describes bonds, agreements, and the arts of pleasure. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, is exalted in Virgo, and is debilitated in Pisces, with a seventeen-year mahadasha of speech, study, and trade. The 7th house is the spouse and the contract of partnership, confirmed in D9. When older handbooks attach a sexual label to a mix of these factors, they are stretching karakas into a verdict the chart cannot carry. Dignity and dasha tell you how Venus and Mercury behave as grahas. They do not examine a patient.
A limit, kept in plain words
If a chart shows Venus debilitated, or the 7th lord in a dusthana, the marriage reading is about delay, friction, or an unusual route. It is not a certificate about potency, orientation, or worth. Reproductive medicine and personal identity sit outside Swiss Ephemeris. Anyone in distress about the body should see a clinician. Anyone using a yoga name to shame a person is misusing a technical vocabulary. Jyothish SI will calculate Venus's sign and the 7th lord from a birth time. The calculation is for partnership and timing. It should not be printed as a bodily sentence.
Timing the 7th without the label
Partnership events belong to the 7th lord's mahadasha or antardasha, and to Venus's twenty years. The antardasha length is the product of the two lords' years divided by 120. Jupiter's aspect on the 7th, his 5th, 7th, or 9th sight, is a classical support for the house. None of those periods needs the napunsaka label to be read. D9 shows the marriage after the wedding day. A free kundli on Jyothish SI uses Lahiri ayanamsa. Take relationship questions to that chart. Take body questions to a doctor. Do not let one vocabulary swallow the other.
Frequently asked questions
Which grahas do texts mention around this word?
Venus, Mercury, and the 7th house. Venus rules marriage and desire. Mercury rules speech and a dual style. The 7th is the partner. None of this is a medical test.
Can a yoga decide physical function?
No. This page states no medical outcome. A debilitated Venus or a 7th lord in a dusthana is a partnership reading, not a finding about the body.
Which dasha times partnership?
The 7th lord's period and Venus's twenty-year mahadasha, split by antardashas. Jupiter's aspect on the 7th is a support, not a label about identity.
