The Pentagram of Venus.

The pentagram of Venus is the path that Venus makes as observed from Earth. Successive inferior conjunctions of Venus repeat very near a 13:8 orbital resonance (Earth orbits 8 times for every 13 orbits of Venus), shifting 144° upon sequential inferior conjunctions. The resonance 13:8 ratio is approximate. 8/13 is approximately 0.615385 while Venus orbits the Sun in 0.615187 years.


The image resembles a complex, spirograph floral pattern with five loops encircling the middle.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Venus_geocentric_orbit_curve_simplified_Line_(pentagram).svg#/media/File:Venus_geocentric_orbit_curve_simplified_Line_(pentagram).svg
