Theodor Landscheidt, Golden Aspects, Geocentric Planetary Nodes, and Harmonics

 

I have been interested in the Golden Mean in Astrology since reading about them in Dr. Theodor Landscheidt's articles back in 2008.  I noticed that he made remarks about planets in Golden Aspect to Geocentric Planetary Nodes in the char t of JFK and Adolf Hitler. He mentioned some Golden Aspects and one of them was 85 degrees. David Cochrane identified 84.58°as the Golden Mean of the Golden Mean Aspect. Dr. Landscheidt was the pioneer of the use of Geocentric Planetary Nodes which have been used in Evolutionary Astrology. 


In his article The Golden Section: A Cosmic Principle, Dr. Landscheidt discussed his devising 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°. It is not an arbitrary procedure to divide cycles in halves and quarters. Observation shows that spectral peaks can appear at twice and four times the driving frequency, or at half or a quarter of it (Burroughs, 1992). Statistical tests indicate that the twelve golden aspects in the complete set are reliable."

137.51° was singled out by David Cochrane as the Golden Mean Aspect. He said that it indicates that the two planets work together in a way that feels natural and instinctive. He also said that the energies of the Golden Mean Aspect are so instinctive and natural that they are often taken for granted by the person. 

 68.75° is the aspect that is half of the Golden Mean.   137.51° divided by 2 is actually 68.755°. I don't know why Dr. Landscheidt didn't round up to 68.76°. 

34.38° is the aspect that is one quarter of the Golden Mean. 137.51 divided by 4 is    34.3775° which Dr. Landscheidt rounded up to the given number.


I  did some investigation on these aspects as you could see here. I offered my fellow Lindaland members to look at their Golden Aspects and asked them to give me feedback. They were nice to participate in my investigations into these Golden Aspects.  

I posted under the name Glaucus. In 2000, I started using the internet nickname Glaucus named after minor Greek seagod because it fit with my highly Neptunian astrological nativity.  I have Moon square Neptune (made me able to identify with having Moon in Pisces even though I have Moon in Aquarius in Sidereal Zodiac), Mercury parallel Neptune, Venus parallel Neptune, Saturn oppose/contraparallel Neptune as well as Mercury conjunct Sun/Neptune midpoint (Sun, Mercury, Neptune are in Grand Trine in 9th Harmonic) and Moon oppose Saturn/Neptune midpoint (T-Square of Moon square Saturn-Neptune opposition).

My Golden Aspects


Midheaven 124.38° Uranus - '19 
Ascendant 68.75° Venus - '24 (Half of Golden Mean Aspect)
Ascendant 84.58° Jupiter - '04 (a Golden Mean of Golden Mean Aspect)
Sun 111.25° Mars - '41
Sun 34.38° Pluto - '06 (Quarter of Golden Mean Aspect)
Moon 84.58° Jupiter - '04 (Golden Mean of Golden Mean Aspect)
Moon 137.51° Uranus - '22 (Golden Mean Aspect)
Mercury 47.51° Pluto - '01 
Mars 145.62° Pluto - '34
Mars 84.58° Neptune - '52 (a Golden Mean of Golden Mean Aspect)


Sun, Mars, and Pluto actually form a triangle with corresponding midpoint picture of
Pluto square Sun/Mars - '12 

I have been into midpoints for years before I learned of Theodor Landscheidt's work. I have been very interested in the Highly Geometrical systems  Magi Astrology, Cosmobiology, and Uranian Astrology. I have books on all three systems. 

When you see my Pluto square Sun/Mars midpoint, you can understand why I was able to identify with being Sun in Scorpio even though I have Sun in Libra in the Sidereal Zodiac. 
I also have Sun conjunct Jupiter/Pluto - '46 and Sun square Pluto/Midheaven - '42.
Theodor Landscheidt discussed Jupiter/Pluto midpoint in his book, Cosmic Cybernetics. Interestingly, I was born when the Geocentric North Jupiter Node and Geocentric North Pluto were closely conjunct and trine my Venus which may factor in my being able to identify with Venus in Scorpio even though I have Venus in Sidereal Libra.  





In regards to Geocentric Planetary Nodes that Theodor Landscheidt advocated the use of
Using the Sidereal Zodiac which has been my zodiacal preference for over six years.
I am just going to list the major aspects and semisquare and sesquiquadrate that involve personal planets, points, and lunar nodes.  

Midheaven in Taurus
oppose North Uranus Node in Scorpio - '50 goes with my Midheaven-Uranus Golden Aspect

Sun in Libra
conjunct South Eris Node in Libra - '14
oppose North Eris Node in Aries - '15

Moon in Aquarius
semisquare South Saturn Node in Sagittarius - '10 
semisquare South Pluto Node in Sagittarius - '07

Mercury in Libra
sextile North Venus Node in Leo - '33 
sextile  South Saturn Node in Sagittarius - '20
sextile South Pluto Node in Sagittarius - '02  

Venus in Libra
trine North Jupiter Node in Gemini - '53
trine North Pluto Node in Gemini - '30

Lunar Nodes in Capricorn/Cancer
oppose/conjunct South Neptune Node - '53










I became so interested in Dr. Theodor Landscheidt's work that I got his two books,  

Cosmic Cybernetics: The Foundations of a Modern Astrology
 
Sun-Earth-Man  a Mesh of Cosmic Oscillations  How Planets Regulate Solar Eruptions, Geomagnetic Storms, Conditions of Life, and Economic Cycles

On the back of his book, it says:
Dr. Theodor Landscheidt, Director of the Schroeter Institute for Research in Cycles of Solar Activity, is a modern Kepler, a rare combination of scientist and mystic who is equally at home in pure research and in Pythagorean speculation. He recently retired from his post as a West German High Court judge in order to continue his research on a full-time basis.


In his book
Cosmic Cybernetics: The Foundations of Modern Astrology

page 62.


A detailed statistical evaluation of the available data on solar activity, the results of which were checked on by means of forecasts, draws the following picture of the effective planetary distances corresponding to the basic or harmonic vibrations of the gravitational waves:


360°  
180° 
90° 
45° 
22° '30' 
11°15'
5°37'30" 
2° 48'45" 
1° 24'22.5" 
0°42'11.25" 
0°21'5.625" 
0°10'32.8125"


I know that Cosmobiologists use 45° series aspects, and I know that Uranian Astrologers use even  22° '30' and 11°15' series of aspects.


In her Node Book,  Zipporah Dobyns including other aspects besides the major aspects with the Geocentric Planetary and Asteroid Nodes.  
She included 7 1/2 degree series of aspects.  She said that John Nelson and Dr. Theodor Landscheidt used all multiples of 7 1/2 degrees in their predictive work, and both claim accuracy of 90 percent or better.



While looking at my 15 year old astrological post about my take on wide orb aspects and harmonics, I noticed something. 

I typed the following:

I am also looking into harmonics in regards to neurodivergent
conditions...especially the 7th and the master number harmonics as well
as 5th harmonic aspects involving outer planets...looking at Mercury
and Uranus too......Dyslexia has to do with multidimensional thinking.
I am neurodivergent myself with Dyslexia and Dyspraxia.
I do have Mercury in 11th harmonic pattern
I have Mercury biquintile Eris with 6 minutes of arc
I have Sun conj Mercury in 83rd harmonic chart with 39 minutes of arc
I have Uranus conj Midheaven in 29th harmonic chart with 2'12 orb
I have Moon conj Uranus in 47th harmonic chart with '41 orb
I have Uranus conj IC in 74th harmonic chart with '35 orb



I realized that my Moon Golden Mean Uranus was a conjunction with a separating orb of 41 minutes of arc in the 47th Harmonic. 

Therefore, the Golden Mean has a connection to the 47th Harmonic.
Reducing 47.....4+7 = 11 which is a master number in Numerology. 

47/11/2
4 - Strong, Traditional, Practical, Hard worker, Loyal
Organized, Strict, Patient, Dependable
7 - Perceptive, Intellectual, Mysterious, Spiritual, Reserved, Skeptical, Solitary, Introspective, Analytical
11 - Enlightened, receptive, charismatic
2 - Tactful, Sensitive, Influential, Cooperative, Inclusive, Intuitive, Supportive, Empathetic, Protective
include also the 1's in 11
1 - Independent, Ambitious, Proactive, Pioneering, Innovative, Self-centered, Uninhibited, Reckless, Motivated, Freedom-loving







Golden Mean Aspect is not that cut and dry

I did more investigation to see if other harmonics were connected.  

I kept in mind that my Moon Golden Mean Uranus has a separating orb of 22 minutes of arc.

I went back in time on my birthdate October 29, 1971 to check out Moon Golden Mean Uranus exact and 22 minutes applying




Exact Moon Golden Mean Uranus at 2:40 AM is a conjunction in 144th Harmonic with an applying orb of 52 minutes of arc.

144 is the Biquintile which is a 5th Harmonic aspect like the Quintile which is 72 degrees. Both are some of the minor aspects that were devised by the astronomer/astrologer Johannes Kepler.


I found out about this youtube video the day after I found out about the Golden Ratio aspect in connection to the harmonics. 

Golden Angle 137.5 | Number 144 (works when the golden angle is rounded to 137.5)


144/9 
1 - Independent, Ambitious, Proactive, Pioneering, Innovative, Self-centered, Uninhibited, Reckless, Motivated, Freedom-loving
4 - Strong, Traditional, Practical, Hard worker, Loyal, Organized, Strict, Patient, Dependable
9 - Kind, Wise, Experienced, Spiritual, Sacrificial, Compassionate, Accepting, Humanitarian, Aware









Moon Golden Mean Uranus with an applying orb of 22 at 2:03 AM is a conjunction in 21st Harmonic with an applying orb of 15 minutes of arc.

21/3
2 - Tactful, Sensitive, Influential, Cooperative, Inclusive, Intuitive, Supportive, Empathetic, Protective
1 - Independent, Ambitious, Proactive, Pioneering, Innovative, Self-centered, Uninhibited, Reckless, Motivated, Freedom-loving
3 - Artistic, Communicative, Curious, Jovial, Scattered, Social, Optimistic, Naïve, Youthful








The Golden Mean Aspect is a 144th Harmonic aspect without a doubt. 
The specific Harmonic conjunction seems to depend on the orb of the Golden Mean Aspect.  Objects that conjunct in the same chart as the objects in Golden Mean Aspect aren't necessarily in a Golden Mean Aspect.

examples 
My Mercury 47.51° Pluto - '01 (a golden aspect that I previously listed) is a conjunction with an orb of 1°06 in the 144th harmonic chart. 
Mars 145.62° Pluto - '34 (a golden aspect that I previously listed) is a conjunction with an orb of 6°57 in the 144th harmonic chart. 

I even have non-golden aspects that show up as conjunctions in the 144th harmonic chart that include:
My Mercury seminovile Jupiter - '03 (18th harmonic) show up as conjunction with an orb of  8°45
My Mercury triundecile Mars - '37 (11th harmonic) show up as conjunction with an orb 8°04



According to Harmonic theory,  aspects are used with proportionate orb

David Hamblyn used the following orbs       

Angle               Aspect                       Division by            Orb (1)              Orb (2)

     0°                  Conjunction                                            12°                15°
 180°                  Opposition                      2                        6°                 7°30'
120°                   Trine                                3                        4°                 5°
  90°                  Square                              4                         3°                 3°45'
  72°                  Quintile                            5                         2°24'            3°                                  60°                  Sextile                              6                        2°                 2°30
  511/2°             Septile                              7                        1°43'            2°08
  45°                 Semis-square                     8                         1°30'           1°53 
  40°                 Novile                               9                         1°20'           1°40
  36°                 Decile                             10                          1°12'           1°30
  30°                 Semi-sextile                    12                          1°                1°15
  24°                 Quin-Decile                    15                          0°45'           1°
  18°                Vigintile                           20                          0°36'           0°45'




In his book Harmonics, 
John Addey goes over the 13th Harmonic aspects, a

John Addey discusses 13. He wrote that it represents the one in the midst of the twelve and so suggests the idea of spiritual lordship.
One of the 13th harmonics that he listed was 138°28 which I immediately recognized is almost exactly one degree after the Golden Mean Aspect which is 137°30. 

I have a Moon-Uranus 13th Harmonic aspect with an orb of 34 minutes.  In my 13th Harmonic chart, Moon and Uranus are conjunct with an orb of 7°28.









He also made a remark about Dr. Theodor Landscheidt speaks of the 1024th Harmonic (2 to the 10th power) while making his point that we need not feel that we are too outlandish in looking for such intervals as the 125th (5x5x5).

I checked out my 1024th Harmonic.
It turns out that I have Sun-Mercury-Uranus conjunction in it.

Sun conjunct Mercury - 3°37'
Sun conjunct Uranus -   5°39'
Mercury conjunct Uranus - 2°02'



Dr. Theodor Landscheidt was into the Heliocentric system. He discusses the the importance of heliocentric configurations in Astrology. 
 I checked out my 1,024th Harmonic in Heliocentric system.  It turns out that I have an almost exact Earth-Eris conjunction and a Venus-Neptune conjunction within 1 degree orb

Earth conjunct Eris - '09
Venus conjunct Neptune - '40






I will be making a blog post about Dr. Theodor Landscheidt's astrological nativity from the 21st Century astrological perspective.
