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.
