She is our closest neighbour, kissing us every 584 days as she passes between us and the Sun. Each time one of these kisses occurs the Sun, Venus and the Earth line up two-fifths of a circle further around the starry zodiacal circle – so a pentagram of conjunctions is drawn.<\/p>\n

Seen from Earth the Sun moves round the zodiac while Venus whirls around the Sun drawing an astonishing pattern over exactly eight years (99.9%) (or thirteen Venusian-years (09.9%)). Small loops are made when Venus in her dazzling kiss seems briefly to reverse direction against the background Stars (shown below as seen from Earth). Notice the Fibonnacci numbers we have just met, 5, 8 and 13. The periods of Earth and Venus are also closely related as @:1 (99.6%).<\/p>\n

The fivefold nature of Venus and Earth\u2019s dance extends to their closest and furthest distances from each other. Opposite below we see Venus\u2019 perigee and apogee defined by two pentagrams (99.9%). All these diagrams also apply to Venus\u2019 experience of Earth. \u00a9 see pan sae \u2014 the things they don\u2019t teach you at school With the Sun in the centre, let us look at the orbits of Venus and the Earth.<\/p>\n

Every couple of days a line is drawn between the two planets (below left). Because Venus orbits faster she completes a whole circuit in the same time that the Earth completes just over a half-circuit (below center). If we keep watching for exactly eight years the pattern opposite emerges, the sun-centred version of the five-petalled flower on the previous page. The ratio between Earth\u2019s outer orbit and Venus\u2019 inner orbit, i.e their home, is intriguingly given by a square (below right) (99.9%). Venus rotates extremely slowly on her own axis in the opposite direction to most rotations in the solar system.<\/p>\n

Her day is precisely two-thirds of an Earth year, a musical fifth. This exactly harmonises with the dance opposite so that every time Venus and Earth kiss, Venus does so with her same face looking at the Earth. Over the eight Earth years of the five kisses, Venus will have spun on her own axis twelve times in thirteen of her years (from Kollerstrom). All exact and very beautiful.<\/p>\n

Mercury also displays a harmonious calendar as its day is two of its years, a musical octave! \\ a sale & doubling up with more fives and eights Can two planets\u2019 physical sizes double as a scaled-picture of their orbits?<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION Biological life is now thought to have appeared on this planet not long after its formation. It seems that the bacterial seeds for the process may have flown in on the tail of a comet or meteor. Speculation is again rife about life under the surface of Mars, on Jupiter\u2019s icy moon Europa and indeed anywhere the sacred substance of liquid water is known to exist. The science of the cosmos has changed immeasurably since the Greek and medieval visions of circles of planetary spheres.<\/p>\n

But with great cosmic schemes out of fashion, and with dragons and unicorns dismissed, the Earth has become a modern mystery. No modern theory exists to explain the miracle of conscious life nor the cosmic coincidences which surround our planet. Why do the Sun and Moon appear the same size in the sky?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
