Venus and Earth's orbit around the Sun makes a flowerlike pattern.

The pattern of Venus around the Earth portrays a 5-petalled rose when viewed from the geocentric position known as 'the flower of life'.

The universe is full of mathematical beauty. The planet Venus has the most circular orbit of any of the planets in the Solar System. The orbits of Venus and Earth form a spirograph pattern called 'Flower of Life', which is an ancient symbol found in many archaeological explorations, around the world. The pattern of Venus around the Earth portrays a 5-petalled rose or a pentagram when viewed from the geocentric position. It is said that eight Earth years are equal to 13 Venus years, meaning the two planets approximately trace out this pattern with 5-fold symmetry as they orbit the Sun.
