Happy Phi Week's Eve

Tomorrow is the first day of my own personal holiday I call Phi Week, a 12 day period that starts on August 3rd, the Golden Section of the Solstice Calendar (which starts on the Winter Solstice),  which marks .6180339 of the way through the Solar Year. It ends on August 14th, the Julian calendar’s Golden Section point. August 8 is Phi Day, the midpoint between Aug 3 and 14th. August 8th also written as 8/8 which represents the double infinite nature of Phi (1.6180339...) and it’s inverse 1/Phi (0.6180339...).

This website explains the Golden Section: http://www.goldennumber.net/golden-section/

I haven’t developed any sort of rituals surrounding my holiday yet, I just make a note of it when it arrives.

It’s a geometry geek thing for me. √5 x .5 ± .5 = Phi or 1/Phi  it is also a fundamental aspect of the pentagon and the Dodecahedron.

Not a religion, just something I like to have fun with. :o)  That golden number website can be religious though, oh well.

Happy Phi Week!
