In the case of Venus, there are on average two transits every one and a quarter centuries. A transit of Venus occurs only if the planet is in inferior conjunction with the Sun (between Earth and Sun) and is also crossing the through Earth's orbital plane (the Ecliptic).

Venus orbits the Sun faster and in a smaller orbit, and it comes to these inferior conjunctions every 584 Earth days. If Venus and Earth orbited the Sun in the same plane, we'd enjoy a transit of Venus every 584 days, and the June 5th transit wouldn't be such a big deal.
