Venus and the Crazy 8

I've already tried to blog on this transit before and was wondering if there were any connections between the Venus Pentagonal Synodic Cycle and current events which seem to promote the number 8. As Venus is currently in Retrograde in the sign of Aries I guess it makes sense that all of a sudden I'm wondering about her transits again.

For information about the Venus series please see Nick Anthony Fiorenza's article called " The Venus Transits: The Pentagonal Cycle of Venus." Link is here:

We are currently living a once in a lifetime, actually once about every 230 or so year planetary event that occurs between a lineup of the earth, Venus and the Sun. These transits happen in pairs that are set 8 years apart. During these times, Venus passes in front of the Sun from the Earth's point of view. The first line up occurred on June 8, 2004 and the last one will occur on June 6, 2012. The Mayans used the Venus cycles for astronomical purposes because they are so precise and I believe their last tracking may be the 2012 date. (I may not be correct about this) Maybe this is Prophecy. Maybe the Spaniards slaughtered the Scribe before he could paint the next cycle on the wall of the observatory.

2008 was the middle year of the cycle. This was when the Olympics was started on the famous 8/8/08 date. 8 is a favorite number for the Chinese who held the Olympics. And now it turns out that Nadya Suleman was impregnated with the first surviving set of Octuplets in 2008.

Anyways, 2008 was a bad year for Money which is one of Venus' major rulerships. Venus stayed hanging around the Ascendant for the Opening Bell charts of the NY Stock Exchange for months and months.

Venus also rules the sign of Libra which rules Partnerships, Diplomacy, and apparently voting in a President who is strong with these qualities. I thought that perhaps this would indicate a woman President but was wrong. Either way, women are strongly represented in the Government. Venus doesn't generally seek to lead anyway.
