I saw Venus up in the sky! Seeing pictures and diagrams of Venus’ orbit interacting with Earth’s, I see that it moves in a pentagram shape.

And its timing matches its slow rotation too. In a telescope it looks burnt up, but from a distance it looks beautiful. This pentagram and this beauty is in my heart, too, because the beauty of Venus seems to radiate love, which also emanates from our hearts. And love is hot, and it burns us too. It is too hot to touch these days, it appears. We are losing touch with each other. But love is not virtual. It is not on zoom.

So love burns us. Its pentagram pattern is the symbol for humanity, and for Nature. And now Nature is burning up on Earth too. The pentagram pattern of Venus is its relation to Earth, and it’s a golden proportion, and a fibonacci series which represents the fertility of rabbits. The Earth is fertile, thanks to the love and the loveliness of Venus and the Love in our hearts. But humans are fertile like rabbits too. Which burns us up because we use up the Earth, and what burns in it. Can Love in the sky, in Venus and on Earth, save us, or will it kill us? If we can slow down, like the slow rotation and the graceful, elegant pattern of Venus in its partnership with the Earth, maybe it can save us.

Can Venus teach us something about love? The pentagram pattern between Venus, Earth and the Sun is clear, but it isn’t perfect. Those who expect it to be perfect, whether in our relationships, or in our politics to save our Earth, or in our astronomical science or natural religion, will be disappointed. And the pattern takes 8 earth years and 13 Venus years to complete, and Venus rotates even a bit slower than it revolves the Sun. So love can grow slowly and requires patience. And maybe we shouldn’t inspect love too closely. If we do, we don’t see the beauty anymore, but only the burn. Let love be a bit mysterious, Venus seems to say. It’s beauty is in its slow flow, unfolding like petals in its 5-fold, flowery 540 pattern, and in its glow we see that touches our hearts.

Bach presents this pattern in Toccata in F BWV 540 as the theme seems mostly to rotate backwards (modulate downwards) 5 times, watch embedded video
