Sacred Geometry and Fibonacci

Sacred Geometry is an observation of patterns, including the pattern of the orbits of Venus over a nine-year period included above. Sacred Geometry is also seen in cross-cultural, pan-religious traditions of creating charts, mandalas, maps, and other geometric structures for understanding and deepening one's relationship oneself and creation. The geometric forms found, as primary examples, in the Kabbalistic Tree, the mandalas of the Buddhist and Hindu traditions, and the I-Ching, act both as traditional study guides and supports for contemplation to deepening into fundamental and often unseen aspects of our own psyches and world.

Physics and Sacred Geometry overlap in many ways, including in the presentation of the orbits of planets as views from a vantage point above. The physical principles of gravity and orbits collide with the human observation of patterns. This confluence has had profound affects on our cultural and religious trajectories. Take, for example, the observation of the "mandala of Saraswati", long observed as a goddess of beauty and learning. See any resemblance to the orbit of Venus?:

Can the Fibonacci series be seen as a "signature of life"? 

It's pretty amazing that the Fibonacci series was discovered by a mathematician/ scientist in the Middle Ages. It appears that he postulated something that truly holds weight, that based on the "golden ratio" many patterns that occur in nature unfold with mathematical predictability and finesse.

I don't know if I would claim that the ratio and series acts as a "signature" of life, but it certainly seems to have elucidated measurable ratios that are inherent in nature and which captivate our senses. When I'm dealing with questions of absolutes, where if the rule applied it would have to apply to every instance where the rule would apply, I ask, "Is it possible that this rule applies to all instances of this phenomenon?"

With the Fibonacci, I don't have all the data, but I would wager that I could find some aspect of chaos or order that doesn't fit within a series of the golden ratio. Would a mosh pit (below) hold such a "signature"?
