Hi,

to "Point Venus" (Tahiti) and the date to 5 March and 5 September at midnight, as mentioned in the French texts below the charts, agrees well with the posted images.
As the charts are for midnight, the object placed between Gemini and Cancer on the 5 March chart obviously cannot be Venus but could fit Mars in 2010.
