Venus Phase Cycle

[Ava]

Do we already have a thread on this? Love this topic.

Venus Phase Cycle, 1900-2050

Venus takes only 225 days to orbit the Sun. However, when she is
viewed from Earth, her full synodic cycle (from inferior
conjunction to inferior conjunction with the Sun) takes 584 days,
or about 1.6 years. This is due to the interaction of Venus’s 225-
day orbital period with the 365-day orbital period of the Earth.
Below is a listing of the principal stages in each Venus
phase cycle, with a line space between each 1.6-year cycle.

Note that each new Venus phase cycle begins about a biquintile (144
degrees) earlier in the zodiac than the previous one. In five
successive phase cycles the inferior conjunction points (or other
comparable points in the cycles) trace a pentagram around the
zodiac.

Five Venus phase cycles take almost exactly eight years.
At the end of every five cycles, we have inserted an extra line
space. This marks the beginning of a new series of five cycles. The
new series traces a similar pentagram, but everything is displaced
approximately two degrees earlier.

Note also that every four years the superior conjunction
takes place at almost exactly the same zodiacal degree (within
only a few minutes of arc) and usually on the same day of the year
as the preceding inferior conjunction.

We are in this cycle here:

In that article, it mentions Venus' transit of the sun in 2012:



These occultations only happen about twice, 8 years apart, every 120 years. So this was the last one:

ah yes that was the thread I wanted to reply to but forgot. Will get back to it later

Re: this upcoming star point

[lumina]

right on my IC and squaring my Venus and trine my Mars.

[Ava]

Looks sweet lumina.

The Aries sun-Venus conjunction is disposited by Mars of course, which will be exactly conjunct transiting true NN @ 13 Gemini that day. These square their dispositor Mercury @ 15 Pisces (...in detriment. Aries Venus is also in detriment. So they say.)

Sun-Venus conjunct Chiron.

Draco sun-Venus @ 22 Cap.

[lumina]

Yeah, well but did it have to be square my Venus? Actually however I just saw the chart of a lunation.

For end of march, 28th (well, just realizing that the charming wife gets once more an awesome Solar Return. just like 8 years ago. lol well her birthday is 29th march, but often the Solar REturn is a day early, I could of course check, but not really wanting to right now, I am more interested in myself to be honest. lol)

Anyway on 28th march there will be

Sun 8 Aries
Venus 8 Aries

Moon 8 Libra

with Uranus on 8 Taurus

and Mars is conjunct NN exact on 14 Gemini


Well it definitely seems like an important fullmoon. I mean the dispositor of Moon is Venus and actually conjunct Sun exactly, and the dispositor of Sun-Venus is EXACT on the North Node! Crazy.

[Ava]

Ack, sorry for not responding! I don't know what happened but the sun was transiting on my moon ^^^ so I must've been spacier than usual.

Just read this @ astro.com, I love it:

Venus is the only planet that can cast a shadow onto Earth.

The mathematical numbers shared between Venus and Earth —the 5:8:13 sequence and the Golden Mean Ratio — can also be seen throughout nature (think of the nautilus shell for example). Five Venus cycles take eight Earth years to complete (5:8 = 1.6 Golden Mean). Eight Earth years is equal to 13 Venus years (8:13 = 1.6 Golden Mean). Venus’ 584-day cycle equals 1.6 (19 months or Golden Mean) of an Earth-year. The proportions of the Golden Mean are said to be the most aesthetically pleasing to the human eye, and given that Venus rules over beauty and art, this makes perfect sense. Would the Golden Mean proportions also be seen on other planets I wonder? And would they be as aesthetically pleasing there?

The Sun and retrograde Venus align in the sign of Capricorn today, marking the middle of the Venus retrograde cycle and a new Sun-Venus cycle's beginning.

Relationship matters are in high focus and can feel fated, emphasizing issues and people of our past. We're motivated by the desire to come to some semblance of balance in our relationships and environment. We want to impress, charm, smooth over differences, and satisfy others with the Sun and Venus coming together. Still, we can be symbolically in the dark regarding our feelings or relationships as a new cycle begins. It's a time for redefining what we want and need from our connections, relationships, communications, and material affairs or goals.

Starts around the 9 minute mark, not the best visual presentation but interesting:



Here Shu Yap recorded her interpretation of the Venus phase cycle as Inanna's journey to the underworld:

Re: Venus speed at birth (mentioned in lecture):

- Astro.com lists planets' speeds in the "Additional charts" PDF

- Venus is fast when more than 1'10 and slow when less than 0'50
www.kellysastrology.com/2017/04/11/planet-speeds-fast-or-slow/

My Venus 1'12 (posting so I remember later).

[lumina]

My venus is at 1.15, so a rather fast one, too.

[Ava]

I'm watching several videos about this. Learned a lot here, skipped ahead to 52:00 starting with mythology of Venus:



Amongst other things, Arielle Guttman covers compatibility based on Venus star points (last sun-Venus conjunction before birth, inferior or superior conjunction). Mine is conjunct my husband's natal Venus, thought that was interesting.

As I was going over the Venus phase list I posted in the OP, I realized several key events in my life have interesting Venus Star Points. For instance the star point for my wedding was a superior conjunction exactly on my Uranus, with just a few minutes orb. Two of my children have their star points on my Mars.

Also realized that since the whole five-pointed Venus star slides backwards a few degrees every 8 years, 2018 was the first time there was ever an exact sun-Venus conjunction in my sun's decan in my lifetime (Jan 9th, 2018, exactly 4 years before this last conjunction, @ 18 Cap). In 4 years there will be a superior conjunction @ 16 Cap, four years later an inferior conjunction @ 16 Cap, both on my birthday.

Arielle Gutman says it's highly significant if a star point is conjunct a natal planet.

lumina didn't we have a conversation about the fixed positions of Venus in the SR charts...isn't it supposed to just land in the same 8 places or something? Oh yes, you taught me that here:

astrogarden.proboards.com/thread/2215/2020-2030-patterns-solar-returns

I have sun-Venus in SRs relatively frequently but it will never be exact to the minute.

Pls don't quote, too often lately when I try and Google an astro topic it leads me back to this forum!

Makes me want to erase a lot.

[lumina]

Ava

yes, I have the book she wrote on that. It is really interesting. 


my VSP is on 13°45 Scorpio (superior conjunction)


P`s is 1°43 Virgo (superior conjunction), conjunct his NN exact and I think his prenatal Solar Eclipse is there as well. 


Mine is conjunct my husband's natal Venus, thought that was interesting.

Wow! That seems very meaningful!

Also very cool and interesting.

It doesn`t need to to be still very relevant. 

[Ava]

Thanks lumina .

Watching more videos with Arielle Guttman. She talks about the approximate 40-day retrograde cycle and draws a loose connection to 40-day Biblical customs. It seems to be a time of withdrawal, re-evaluation. I think it's all fascinating. I want to get that book to have a better grasp of the subject. Also watching this...starting around the 1 hour mark, they elaborate on Cap VSP themes:



Guttman talks about honoring our ancestors now. I just bought an Italian cookbook

Also realized my parents both have the same VSP in Scorpio; coincidentally or not, three of their grandchildren have their suns tightly conjunct or opposing it.

Pls don't quote

So with Venus as the morning star, are people generally more inclined to make some hasty, impulsive decisions about love?

My notoriously picky Scorpio Venus daughter...whose Venus is a morning star...is shocking me and her friends lately by admitting to a crush.

Edit

[lumina]

I suppose it was only a Matter of time since that happened! 😅 Well Not Sure If it applies but I was getting an extended facial, allowed her to apply Makeup and now i am eating icecream which clearly i should Not.....als, resistance is futile 😉

Oh Tr Venus Close to my pr Sun in 14 aqua

Here we are, sun conjunct Venus Rx @ 20 Leo

Love comes back to haunt us...
