Shukrachaarya is son of Sage Bhrigu, one of the saptrishis. In a Vedic horoscope Venus rules over the fun loving Taurus and the graceful Libra. In the age of darkness (Kalyuga), it rules over Islam also and Muslims believe Friday as the chosen day by God for worship.

In Muslim community people greet each other saying “Shukriya”, it’s nothing but taking the name of planet Venus (Shukra). Venus also rules over color white and Islam also encourages to wear white. If you look at the Arab world, people wear more of white and other reason being it’s very hot in the Middle East.
