The Cycle of Venus
The list below gives the dates which correspond to the numbered points above.
Note that 584 x 5 = 365 x 8. i.e. there are exactly 5 Venus cycles in every 8 years, and the significant points
migrate slowly retrograde through the zodiac. This means that every 8 years the same Rx loop occurs at the
same time of year, covering the same degrees of the zodiac. Psychologically, it represents a time of the most
profound maturing of the soul through the purification of the heart. We are invited to include that which has been
excluded, to make amends internally, to seek forgiveness and to process unfinished business so that we may
be renewed and released.
