Dr. Theodor Landscheidt was strongly interested in the Golden Section. He applied the concept to his work in Climatology. He came up with the idea that golden section can be used in Astrology. Therefore,he devised golden section aspects. His article,The Golden Section: A Cosmic Principle
it includes his ideas about Golden Section
Golden Aspects
The golden section divisions within cycles formed by the rotating earth may be considered a set of astrological aspects. The complete set emerges when we superimpose the two schematic diagrams in Figures 19 and 23, related to minor and major of the golden section, and compare all of those angles we find on the right and on the left of the origin 0°. Imagine that you are standing at the rising point R, or 0°, of the diurnal circle and are looking over to the setting point at 180°. Then the superimposed golden section divisions on your right form the set 21.25°, 42.49°, 47.51°, 68.75°, 111.25°, 132.49°, 137.51° and 158.75°. The angles 338.75°, 317.51°, 312.49° and so forth, on your left repeat the set on your right when subtracted from 360°. If we extend the fractal beyond the semicircle and include the quarter circle, the golden section operation generates the additional angles 34.38°, 55.62°, 124.38° and 145.62° http://bourabai.narod.ru/landscheidt/consider.htm
Golden Section aka Divine Proportion is closely connected to the Fibonacci series
The Golden Section is also known as the Golden Mean, Golden Ratio and Divine Proportion. It is a ratio or proportion defined by the number Phi ( = 1.618033988749895... )
In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of numbers named after Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci (a contraction of filius Bonaccio, "son of Bonaccio"). Fibonacci's 1202 book Liber Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics, although the sequence had been previously described in Indian mathematics.[2][3]
The first number of the sequence is 0, the second number is 1, and each subsequent number is equal to the sum of the previous two numbers of the sequence itself, yielding the sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

There is an asteroid called Fibonacci
6765
Because of my interest in Golden Section aspects,
I looked to see where my asteroid, Fibonacci is placed.
In my chart:
Fibonacci in 18'42 Virgo
sextile Chart ruler Mercury in 18'21 Scorpio
On a hunch, I checked to see if Theodor Landscheidt has Fibonacci in a major aspect to Mercury within 1 degree
in his chart:
Fibonacci in 25'03 Scorpio
trine Chart ruler Mercury in 24'38 Pisces
square Neptune in 24'59 Leo
while looking at his chart, I also noticed that he has a strong Sedna influence
Sedna in 15'01 Aries
conjunct Venus in 15'26 Aries
sextile Midheaven in 16'08 Gemini
I believe that with Venus being the planet of aesthetics and Sedna being "out of this world" , Venus-Sedna sextile his Midheaven could mean lifework involves metaphysical understanding of aesthetics that enabled him to work with The Golden Section which is also known as divine proportion.
Because he came up with the Golden Section Aspects, I checked to see if he has any Golden Aspects that might involve his Mercury as well as his Venus-Sedna conjunction.
Mercury 21.25 Venus - '52
Mercury 21.25 Sedna - '28
With Mercury in a Golden Section aspect to his Venus-Sedna, his mental processes were connected to metaphysical understanding of aesthetics that enabled him to work with the Golden Section also known as divine proportion.
