The
start of Venus cycle number 872
The crop circle shows the cycle of Venus in the
way Venus is observed from Earth. For an observant on Earth, the
cycle of Venus lasts approximately 584 days on average (1.6 year,
the synodic cycle; the time lapse between the same phases of Venus).
During this time span, Venus seems to merge two times with the sun,
namely during an inferior conjunction (the planet passes in between
the Earth and the Sun) and a superior conjunction (Venus passes
behind the Sun). This is expressed by the formation:
In case of a perfect inferior or superior
conjunction, the Earth, Venus and the sun are perfectly in line.
However, the dashed line shows that the formation relates to the
phase just before the inferior conjunction: in perfect conditions,
Venus still might have been seen in the evening sky, short after
sunset. This is the situation on the formation creation day (August
10). The crop circle makers showed the (almost) inferior conjunction
by an interrupted circle. The reason is that Venus shows phases
(like the moon). During “new Venus”, Venus shows a halo, but just
before the inferior conjunction the halo is not full:
The relation with the Venus-calendar of the Mayan
civilization
The Maya revealed a Venus-calendar that started
on February 4, 623 (Julian calendar). This calendar repeats each 584
days, but is also related to the Tzolkin and the moon. As the true
Venus-cycle is about 583.917 days, every few centuries the calendar
skips between 4 and 16 days (on a day 1 Ahau at approximately new
moon) in order to keep approximately in track with the true cycle of
Venus. Although each cycle is supposed to start at a heliacal rise
of Venus, this is only true, when taken on average over several
centuries: There may be a considerable deviation for an individual
cycle. However as past, present and future are connected, the start
of each cycle may still be considered as an heliacal rise.
A reconstruction of this calendar shows that the
true start of each Venus-cycle is as follows:

884 cosmic cycles after very start in 623! |
On a cosmic level the cycle of Venus only lasts
576 (= 24 × 24) days, making 8 Tun (8 × 360 days) = 5 cosmic cycles
of Venus (5 × 576 days). The start of cycle 873 is important as this
will fall exactly 884 cosmic cycle of Venus after the very start of
the calendar in 623; hence there is a double link with the past.
The table shows that the formation creation day
fell one day after the very start of the Venus cycle. This day also
fell exactly 2 × 576 days after the very start of the first
underworld of the new age on June 14, 2012. There is also a
relationship with the start of the eight Underworld, that started
exactly 16 years ago on August 10, 1999, which was also a day of a
heliacal set of Venus.
