Occasionally Venus passes in front of the Pleiades Star Cluster, adding its brilliance to the grouping called the Seven Sisters. There are more than seven stars in this cluster, it is made up of dozens and dozens of stars, so whenever Venus passes in front it adds a nice jewel to the setting. Venus passes through the Pleiades exactly every 8 years and always at the beginning of April. These are some examples of these encounters I have managed to catch.
