A divine Valentine's Day
For Valentine's Day, celebrate love with the magic of the golden ratio!
Did you know that the golden ratio may be the reason for the choice of this date? February 14th represents a harmonious link between earth, sky and human beings.
The oldest traces of this holiday date back 7000 years. February 14th is symbolic in the megalithic system. In Brittany, the sun rises in the axis of the largest menhir of the dolmen of Kercado. Two monuments dating from the same period and which represented, at the time, the highest points of the region and real astronomical observatories.
In Egypt, this axis is marked, since on February 14 the sun rises in the axis of the processional road of the pyramid of Khephren.
For the ancestors, the golden ratio represented a crossroads between science and the spiritual world. It was a mathematical key to understanding the different events of life and the divine nature of everything. The Vitruvian man is a living pentagram from a physical point of view but also from a spiritual point of view: Man has the five virtues: goodness, wisdom, truth, justice and love.
Going back to the origin of Valentine's Day, the date is linked to the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
February 14th is the 55th day after the solstice and 34 days before the spring equinox, two consecutive numbers of the Fibonacci sequence, a superb estimation of the golden number and one of the fundamental structures of our universe. This celebration is therefore located at a proportion of the golden ratio.
