Default Venus pentagram: true or false?

The apparent path of Venus as seen from the Earth with respect to the
Sun is roughly a 5 sided figure, but it isn't a perfect pentagram by
any means. It's loopy and squashed.



Does someone have a link to an image of this so called pentagram? I just ran Venus through the evening sky for 2005 in a planetarium program and the planet made a sort of a figure-8 pattern. What does this pentagram look like?
