Along with what pollux said about the pentacle being associated with Venus (planet traces the path of a pentacle every 8 years in the sky), the pentacle of Venus is said to represent the five stages of the sacred woman's life (Venus=goddess of love, beauty, feminine sexuality, fertility) The five stages, or five points are birth, menstruation, motherhood, menopause and death.
At least that's one of the theories I learned through the Da Vinci Code, as Pollux also said.
We still pay tribute to Venus and her pentacle with the Olympic games, held every four years (half of the 8 year pentacle cycle) and with the very logo of the Olympics themselves. Once a five-pointed star (pentacle), the logo evolved to five interlocking rings.
