How to Draw the Rose of Venus

The Rose of Venus is a natural pattern created by the orbital path of Venus relative to the Earth. 13 orbits of the Sun for Venus roughly equate to 8 Earth years. 13-8=5. Over the space of eight years, we end up with this cool five fold pattern, also known as the Venus Pentagram.

Legend has it that drawing the Rose of Venus opens one up to the harmonious energies of Venus and invites love, passion and joy into your life.

I’ll break down the geometric structure of the symbol and give you all the guidelines you’ll need to draw your own Rose of Venus using a compass and a straight-edge. I’ll let you in on my thought process and explain every step along the way from start to finish so you can draw along with me.

You’ll also get all the measurements, scans and diagrams of the whole process to simplify a complicated design.

Let’s give it a go, shall we?

I have recently started with Zak’s tutorials and have finished the seven chakras. The tutorials were thorough, easy to follow, and a lot of fun. I know I will continue with this play for a while. The only problem is that there are so many great inspirations, so little time.

You’ve helped me more deeply appreciate and develop skill to draw geometry. I found you on YouTube when I started having an interest in sacred geometry and when you started the circle site, I was happy to support what you’re doing. I’ve gotten a lot of value out of watching you draw and enjoy your deep thoughts along the way.

There’s so much about Zac’s videos that are beyond instructional. His voice is soothing and feels like a friend sharing his secret to joy. The videos are easy to follow along with. His love of mandalas is infectious and his philosophical overtones are inspiring/warming to the soul.

Doing beautiful art that requires brain power. I have Parkinson and I showed my doctor some of the work I have done from this sight. He told me this was such a great thing to do to make my brain produce more dopamine.

I have been following Zak and his channel for over a year now. I found geometric drawing at a time in my life where I was going through a lot of change. Positive change, and following the tutorials played a huge part in that. Thank you.

I found Zac’s website a couple of months ago. Since then, I have drawn quite a few mandalas and some other geometric art. The tutorials have helped me greatly in producing some pieces I am really happy with. They are well explained and done in real time so very easy to follow along. Thank you!

Loads of information and techniques at my fingertips. Zak is an amazing teacher and has helped me grow as an artist.

I am always mesmerized watching Zak draw.
I love his designs and how he makes it seem so easy!

~ Jennifer

Really love the detailed tutorials! Zac is really good at explaining things and being able to see them as well is fantastic.

~ Dee

Easy access to effective tutorials for a wide range of geometrical techniques, as well as access to a community of like-minded people excited to learn and share their works and wisdoms. The included monthly moon calendars are also a very sick perk.

I love that there are so many different options to choose from, yet the site is so easy to navigate! Finding what I feel like learning that day doesn’t take forever. I really love the beginners series tutorials too. Zak breaks everything down and shows you, step by step, the what, why and how to getting results you’ll love!!
