About Venus’ Orbit
This graphic depicts the dance of Venus and Earth around the Sun. The orbit of Venus is the most circular in our solar system, and she forms a natural pentagram through her retrograde cycles. The ancient Greeks attributed love and beauty to Venus because they gleaned their aesthetic philosophy of harmony and perfection in the elegant symmetry of her celestial path. I love this graphic because it demonstrates the astrological principle of ‘as above, so below’, where the movements of the cosmos correspond to events on Earth.
