This pattern is commonly seen when studying the orbit of Venus!
Libra (ruled by Venus) is the sign of Saturn's exaltation - how marvellous!

This planetary mandala combines the orbits of Mars and Saturn (rulers of the two signs in which Chiron and Pholus are currently placed - Aries and Capricorn, respectively).

The late Howard Sasportas, a beloved mentor of mine, used to say that it was our job to 'upgrade' our expression of a given planet's energies. What better way than to take our focus into the exquisite geometry revealed by their orbital interactions?
