From the viewpoint of the Earth, the eight years orbit of Venus around the Sun draws a pentagram in the sky. The most ancient and perfect geometric figure, the polygon which is most similar to the shape of the human body, generates the golden ratio: an important theorem of formal beauty. Pentagrams enter the human society as reminiscent symbols. They create, symbolize and imply the history which is almost related to all guardian wishes that need cohesion energy. The work is a start with this orbit of Venus.
