Golden Section Charts

Overview

The Golden Sections chart casting technique is based on the work of Theodor Landscheidt. Two Golden Section ratios can be used - the minor (0.382) and the major (0.618). Each of those sections forms a Golden Cross, which is a projection of the golden section from the starting point (usually 0° of Aries), and from the points in 90, 180, and 270 degrees distances from the starting point.

Golden Aspects are formed by division within cycles formed by the rotating Earth. The major set of golden aspects consists of 21.25°, 42.49°, 47.51°, 68.75°, 111.25°, 132.49°, 137.51°, and 158.75° angles. Additionally, quarter circle divisions produce 4 more minor aspects: 34.38°, 55.62°, 124.38°, and 145.62°.

Casting Golden Section Charts

1. Make sure you have an active chart opened.
2. Go to the Traditions/Modern/Golden Section... menu option.
3. Select the following properties:

• Starting Point. This is the point from which the Golden Section will be calculated. Landdscheidt always used 0 Aries as the starting point.
• Aspects. You can select either User Defined aspects or the Golden Section aspects. The User Defined aspects are the aspects used in all other modules of AstroApp. The Golden Section aspects are given based on Landscheidt research and consists of the twelve angles outlined above. The orb for the Golden Section aspects is 1 degree.
  

Note: if you select the Golden Aspects option, all the Aspects related settings such as orbs, colors, line styles, moeties, and so on will be ignored. In order to use the settings configured in the Settings/Settings menu/Aspects tab, select the User Defined aspects option instead.
