Shalom Maureen and Doves,
     In Bob Wadsworth's Biblical Astronomy Newsletter for April...he explains that every 8 years Venus (in retrograde) wanders from the Celestial ecliptic into the constellation of Plaiedes (the seven sisters that represent the seven churches of Rev. and also the seven candlestick menorah).
     This phenomena happened in 1996 at Pesach.  So, it repeats the process every 8 years, but I wanted to check out how often it falls on Pesach.  It happens every 8 years to the day (in other words on 4-4-every 8 years it occurs in the Plaiedes).  I checked backward....and before 1996 the last time it happened was 152 years ago.  I believe there were two 8 year periods in a row that it happened that time.  And the next time it does so will be likewise 152 years from 1996.
     I didn't check any further backward or forward....but thought it was interesting.  I also wondered if the # of 152 years might mean anything in gematria?  I thought it interesting that every 8 years (8 being the # of new beginnings) that Venus (represents Ya'Shua) visits the congregations of Revelations.

Shalom,
Meriam Brown
