Fixated on Venus

On the other hand, one may readily see from Venus' orbit how She is associated with beauty:

This lovely lotus-like shape comes from looking at the solar system from above, and drawing a line between the positions of Venus and Terra each day for eight years. It occurs because the ratio between their orbital periods is extremely close—one might say suspiciously close—to 8/13.

Some of my other favorite astronomical coincidences are that Sol and Luna appear the same size as seen from Terra, and that each planet is approximately twice as far from Sol as the last.
