They were first put forward by Dr. Theodor Landscheidt and are based on golden section aspects that seem to work – the basic Fibonacci Aspects he proposed are :

21.25°, 42.49°, 47.51°, 68.75°, 111.25°, 132.49°, 137.51° and 158.75°,34.38°, 55.62°, 124.38° and 145.62°. http://bourabai.narod.ru/landscheidt/consider.htm

the orbs should only be 1 degree.

After ploughing through his highly technical gobbledegook, I have tried to get a grip on what it could mean astrologically in simple terms.

Landscheidt proposes (and provides mathematical theory) that the stability of planetary paths hinges on fivefold symmetry which is traditionally thought to only apply to the realm of biology (living things). This contributes mathematical evidence to the theory that planetary bodies are alive. Non-biological forms like crystals never show five fold symmetry, it’s always two, three, four or six. After years of having his theories ignored, solar physicists from the American Astronomical Society are now giving support to Landscheit’s theories too . http://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/solar-physicists-finally-get-the-message-landscheidt-was-right-after-all/

What this seems to mean to us is that Fibonacci’s golden ratio aka the irrational number PHI 0.618 OR 0.382 rounded off(which is phi in the opposite phase 1-0.618) is a ratio that can be applied to planetary dynamics in astrology. The golden aspects are worked out by multiplying the 360 degree by 0.618 or 0.382 and then applying the result to the angles of the horoscope. i.e. 0 + (360*0.382) = 137.51 deg; 90+(360*0)= 227.51 deg (actually 132.49 deg as we don’t use aspects over 180 deg but rather go counterclockwise and minus from 360). Etc.

Using these calculations you will find all the “golden aspects” stated above which correspond to the Fibonacci golden ratio in astrological terms.

Now, if you take the logic that the Fibonacci sequence describes a universal pattern of continuous balanced development which occurs throughout nature in the branching of trees, the shape of seashells, horns of rams, arrangements of petals, etc – then you may accept that a Fibonacci or “golden aspect” represents harmony with the fundamental expression of universal (or divine) law, the spiralling currents of which weave the fabric of creation.
In astrology, these aspects seem to be significant when they form closed geometric configuration – especially a Fibonacci Yod – ie. Where three Fibonacci Golden Ratio Aspects form an isosceles triangle with a less than 1 deg orb. (the sum of the three aspect angles adds up to 360 deg). It would seem to indicate that these three planets, when combined, have the capacity to harmonize in accordance with divine law.

There is an example in my chart of a Yod using Fibonacci Aspects which involves Jupiter, Moon and Pluto – two 145.62 aspects closed by one 68.75. As in all yods, it is the apex planet (in this case Jupiter in Aries in the 12th house) that is the focal planet, to and from which inspiration flows, after drawing in the support of the two base planets. Also there are some other closed configurations (scalene and trapezoid looking things)using Golden Ratio aspects only but I have no idea what they mean, except they makes a pretty geometric pattern. I have blocked visibility to the planets that are not involved in this particular piece of planetary geometary, so that it stands out better.

Moon Quintile Chiron
Moon BQ Pluto
Chiron BQ Pluto

Plus: Vertex Quintile Pluto

Moon in the 4th rules my 8th
Pluto in the 11th rules my 12th
Chiron in gemini in the 6th (mercury rules 10th, 7th and Sun)

The Golden (Quintile series) yods are very cool though. They bring amazing ingeniuty, creativity and inventiveness to the configuration. Magical. More active than a grand trine, as Golden Yods are focused more on "growing" than "flowing".

VERY interesting, thank you!
Have you calculated those by hand?
It would be awesome to have an actual software for "golden ratio" aspects.

You are welcome! I didn't calculate by hand - I did my usual "cheat" for weird aspects by using Astrolog (free download) software and substituting conventional aspect degrees in the settings with different ones and changing the orb to 1 deg.

All i know so far is that I have a golden yod:

Sun/Venus in 2H, Scorpio quintile
Saturn in 4H, Capricorn, biqintile
Mars in 9H, Gemini - quintile sun/venus
