8-Year Venus cycles

13 Venus cycles of 8-Years each

Earth-Venus-Sun Alignments

Alignment ~ every 1.6 Years

It takes 104 years for the first day of Venus rising as the "Morning Star" to return to the same day on the Mayan Calendar.

The first time the planet Venus rises as the brighy "Morning Star" on the first SUN ajaw day on 7 SUN day #20 marks the begining of a new 104-year cycle.

Every 8 years, after Venus "disappears" from our view for 8 days, on a HUMAN eb day, while transiting in front of the Sun, it will re-appear again at sunrise on a SUN ajaw day.

This is how the Mayan Calendar is kept aligned with the cycles of Venus every 8 years.

Note: Their are two variations of the Mayan Calendar in use.

The "Yucatan Lowland Maya count, used in the boardgame DREAMSPELL, jas been proven here, in the charts below, to be off count, or mis-counted, by 44 days!.

The oldest one is the "Guatemala Highlands count," used here and by the oldest Maya communities in Central America.

Here is how we know that the Guatemala Highlands day count is the most accurate day count of the two versions, because the Highland count tracks and is aligned with the solar orbital cycles of the planet Venus.

"Evening Star" to "Morning Star"

Every 8 years, Venus disappears as the "Evening Star" on a HUMAN eb day as it moves across the face of the Sun, then reappears 8 days later as the "Morning Star" on a SUN ajaw day.

This happens 13 times over 104 years:

A new 104-year Venus Cycle begins in October 2026.
