If you take each of the Platonic Solids and encase each perfectly within a sphere, and then nest them all inside of each other, they produce six layers that correspond to the relative planetary orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Here are drawings representing the path of planets coupled together over several year periods, illustrating their geometric dance relationship in patters that look very similar to those made in Cymatics.
“This is the ‘dance’ of Venus, as viewed from earth. The
magical geometry that exists between the cycles of the planets has been
a source of fascination and mystery for centuries. Lately, the adoption
of the heliocentric viewpoint has caused many of these marvels to pass
by the interest of astronomers. The
pattern of Venus around the Earth portrays a 5-petalled rose when
viewed from the geocentric position. Every 8 years, when the Earth and
Venus ‘kiss’ to form another petal, Venus presents the same face to the
Earth. The dance of the planets: their retrograde motions, synodic
periods, distance and orbits present us with patterns that resonate to
their essence. Kepler understood such patterns as a mathematician aware
of the mystical qualities of the universe. The patterns of Venus are
extremely beautiful - the heart and the rose. They reveal the essence of
Venus in her role of celestial guardian of love and beauty to those of
us here on Earth. Each planet has its own dance pattern and the cosmos takes on a beauty
beyond words. God is the artist who creates the universe.“
~Stephane Rene, Iconographer
Venus is called “El Zahra” - the flower - in Arabic.
Here’s the orbital period of our solar system’s 8 major planets (how long it takes each to travel around the sun). Their size is to scale and their speed is accurate relative to Earth’s. The repetition of each GIF is proportional to their orbital period. Mercury takes less than 3 months to zoom around Sol, Neptune takes nearly 165 years.
