Sacred Geometry in the Solar System
III
The Logos
“All these very regular movements have no mechanical cause since the comets move in all parts of the sky
and in very eccentric orbits . . . . This admirable arrangement of the sun, the planets, and the comets could only be
the work of an intelligent and all powerful being.”
(Isaac Newton – Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, Scholium)
The idea implied in the word Logos is
that of vibration. The world is vibration and the
creative act is vibration. This is the same as
movement, and movement brings the
perception of time.
The entire universe is vibration, but it is
an intelligent vibration and a Logos: the
thundering Voice of God. The Logos is the first
emanation of Absolute Unity as an Intelligent
Act, and that is a “Word”, because it has a
meaning.
The Egyptians portrayed this idea of
creation as Logos through Atum-Ra. In the
initiation of Heliopolis, Tum is the single Unity
from which all beings come. But, Tum’s coming
into existence is another thing, because from
Tum there came Universal Light or Ra. This is
now Tum-Ra or Atum-Ra: an incomprehensible
Unity of God manifest as “Light”.
Here is where Cosmic Man is born. The
Egyptians only depicted the Supreme God in the
human form, and this is the Heliopolitan Atum
(the Theban Amun). The human being is the
final link in the chain of evolution on Earth; he is
the synthesis of all animal possibilities. In the
Hebrew Genesis we read that God created Man
in his image and likeness. In other words, from
Absolute Unity came forth an image to which
Man has similarity.
This similarity to God or likeness is that
Man may know himself and find God, that his
consciousness may be turned inwards towards
himself, his interior, his nucleus or Self. This is
introspection and also reflection, the basis of all
philosophical inquiry.
The Cosmos is an order of things which
is fundamentally based on vibration. All that
exists is vibrating: everything is moving even if
our senses sometimes give the illusion of
stillness. All things perceived to exist in the
Cosmos are subject to movement, change, time.
And so they are impermanent or mortal. All
objects upon which Man may pose his mind
upon have a beginning and an end, a birth and
death. “All this is dukkha” proclaims the
Buddha.
All objects of thought are momentary
coagulations of energy: patterns of vibration
bundled into different volumes and with their
proper frequencies, amplitudes, and variant
modulations in time, but ultimately, just as all
snowflakes are solidifications of water, so all
particular coagulations of matter are
momentary crystallization of Spirit.
All sensible objects are vibrating images
of and unknown Unity, copies enduring their
own “life-span” or permanence as particular
units of consciousness in the universe. All forms
of life contain Spirit, for Spirit is the Vital Breath
of Life, from the Latin spiro, or breath.
The Hindu term Brahman comes from
the Sanskrit root brh, a term with a common
root to the English “breath” and the Spanish
“brotar” (sprout). The miracle of Life is a
pulsation, but it is something invisible,
impossible to imagine, difficult to define. This is
1
in Latin “Spiritus”, what the ancients named in
analogy to the pulsation of breath, the polarity
of movement that defines Life.
There is a difference between “energy”
and “spirit”. Spirit implies the presence of a
Supreme Intelligence behind the appearance of
matter, the concept of energy does not.
Modern physics does not define or consider the
world as an occurrence being permeated by
Intelligence, but rather by “energy”, a
mechanical occurrence which is measurable to
some extent, as gravity and time, but ultimately
not considered a conscious entity like “God”.
The word “Universe” used to describe
the entirety of the world, means “One-voice” in
Latin. Moreover, as we saw earlier, the Greek
word Kosmos means “Order”. Thus the world is
an ordered vibration in the mind of the ancient
sages who developed this language. But this
Order or “Kosmos” that is inherent to the
Universe is brought about because there is a
Supreme Intelligence present in an Eternal
Present and thus hidden (amun) behind all
visible and thinkable things, within these and
without them there is Spirit.
This is what the Greek mystics called
Kronos. The name for the so-called god of time
comes from a conjunction of two words: koros
(pure) and nous (intellect). Thus, Kronos means
“Pure Intelligence”.1
Recent studies, inspired in ancient
studies on astronomy concerning the Solar
System reveal that our universe is not the
chaotic and random environment it is supposed
to be under modern atheistic paradigms
proposing a chaotic and non-intelligent
Universe without a Creator.
The German engineer Hartmut Warm
has revealed that the mysterious Harmony of
the Spheres studied by the Pythagoreans was
actually a very profound science related to the
true and physical harmonic spatial disposition
of the bodies in the Solar System, as well as
their harmonic orbital periods. The study of the
Solar System under that Platonic or
Pythagorean method which reminds us to keep
an eye on unity and a theological philosophy
clearly shows us that life on Earth, and our
existence as living human beings is the result of
a an elegant and intelligently designed system.

This is a Platonic revelation found in Cratylus 396b.
2
It reveals that our world is the product of a
Supreme Intelligence, not chance or accident.
Under the modern new-atheist mentality, on
the other hand, this Intelligence is supposedly
unintelligible, and this may in many cases be
true, but the fundamental reason of this
blindness lies in a modern mentality incapable
of reaching its own archaic essence. The secular
mind, lost in an infinite analysis of Nature, does
not reach the synthesis or keep an eye out for
that golden unity in all phenomena, and thus
there is inevitable a blindness of God in the
sense that “God” is not only a Supreme Creator,
but that the very solar system we contemplate
in heaven is the “Soul of God” or an image of it.
Each orbit of a given body in the Solar
System is basically a circle deformed into an
ellipse, but the Ancients insisted in studying the
Ideal circular form of the orbits. They also
disregarded irrational numbers in their
calculations and managed whole numbers and
rational fractions in their mathematics. One
could suppose that the Ancients never knew
that the orbits were elliptical, but this
supposition comes from a misunderstanding of
how the Ancients favored the study of the ideal
and intelligible reality over the empirical or
“visual” appearance of the Cosmos. This is a
fundamental difference in our modern study of
the universe and the ancient one: the basis by
which one either is able or unable to recognize
the Order of the World and the Supreme
Intelligence within.

It is not the solid and visible form of
Creation that reveals the Laws of Nature, but
rather its invisible but intelligible design or
‘architecture’. Among the various species of our
Earth, this hidden aspect of reality is only
intelligible to Man.
The Laws of the Universe are hidden,
occult, or apocryphal realities not apparent or
manifest ones. The revelation of the
architecture of Nature comes to Man by the
study of what is manifest and apparent, yet in
abstraction from the five-sense experience of
the apparent there is the law directing and
sustaining the act. Man seeks the laws
governing Nature, but only Nature is visible and
experienced by empirical consciousness: its
laws which are Spiritual are known in a more
subtle experience of consciousness that is not
sensorial.
The Platonic and Pharaonic philosophy
teaches us to perceive the world through the
intellect, not the eye, the ear, or any of the
solid-based sense organs. The meditation or
dhyana of Hinduism teaches precisely the same
projection of consciousness into a supra-
sensorial realm. The Christian Gospel Matthew
teaches Man to pray with God alone, in silence,
in secret and so does Islam. God is the Center
the hidden Sun in the psyche of Man.
In order to appreciate the true reality of
the Cosmos and how it is governed by
Archetypes, the psyche must be released from
the allegorical cavern of the body and its
perception of shadows so that it might grow
wings and rise to see the invisible and
intelligible architecture of the universe. This
philosophy is of course not an invention or
innovation of Plato or the Egyptians who taught
it to Pythagoras, but an archaic and universal
4
path towards enlightenment wherein Man sees
in the heavens the image of his soul. In order to
evolve, Man must liberate himself from the
material or physical experience of the world
which is always subject to the 5 senses. Beyond
the surface of material consciousness, there is a
hidden Logos ordering the distribution and
mutations of physical phenomena, and the
realization of the Logos in the world ultimately
leads Man to find it within himself.
Socrates taught that the true
philosopher should approach the study of
astronomy, geometry, arithmetics and
harmony, not in order to accumulate data of
the outside realm, but rather to recognize in the
outer world and order (kosmos) which was also
within.
The Solar System has bodies in orbit,
but the orbit is always invisible. These orbits
are, however, a reality insomuch as they are the
potential location in space where a planet (an
accumulation of mass) recurrently finds its
place. The orbits of the Solar System are
proportioned to each other by a very elegant
yet simple geometry in which we again find the
presence of the pentagon, the polygon whose
image exposes the Golden Proportion.
As we have seen earlier, the Pentagram
is a figure associated to the Golden Mean, but
the Pentagonal figure which embodies the
function ɸ is not only present in the
conjunction patterns of Venus and the Earth, or
the Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions in relation to
the Solar Year. This golden Mean is present in
the spatial dispositions of the planets’ mean
orbits.
The geometric figure of the pentagon,
whose drawing demands the execution of the
functions of ɸ, enables one to draw the orbits
of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars in a
proportional way which somewhat “magically”
reveals the inherent geometrical harmony
governing the spatial disposition (orbits) of the
planets in the inner solar system. Both timing
through conjunction and spatial order
(gravitational and mass distribution) of the solar
system are designed by the Golden Proportion
or ɸ.
Mercury is nearest to the Sun and is
also seen to have the most elliptical orbit of the
entire solar system, so it’s ideal and circular
orbit seems hard to define with our pentagonal
formula. However, the pentagonal disposition
of the inner planet’s orbits reveal that even the
seemingly erratic and chaotic behavior of
Mercury can actually be delimited by simple
geometry which demands nothing but a straight
edge and a compass for its reproduction on
paper. Venus and Earth are distanced by only
one interlocking pentagon, and this brings the
planets to a proximity which is the greatest
contact between any two planets in the entire
system. Between Venus and Mercury there are
two interlocking pentagons, just as there are
also two between Earth and Mars. This is very
simple yet very elegant geometrical dispositions
which are not to be found in any chaotic or
random universe.
5

Once again we perceive how the
Pentagon and ɸ as a cosmic function is
embedded in the very matrix of the Solar
System, and this further reveals its esoteric and
occult influences of the Golden Mean on the
order of the Universe. The ratio between the
sizes of Earth and Mercury once again expose

the Golden Proportion at play on an
astronomical scale. The size of the planet
Mercury is 0.618 that of planet Earth. This may
be drawn in proportion by way of the
Pentagram and synthesized numerically by
numbers of the Fibonacci Sequence.
6
 Mars presents a curious link to the
Pentagrama Veneris formed by 5 consecutive
conjunctions between Earth and Venus. When
Earth and Venus complete the celestial drawing
of Pentagrama Veneris every 2920 days, Mars’
location is perceived to be squaring the dance,
as if the red planet’s orbit was projecting a cube
in three dimensional space so as to contain or
incubate the spiritual function ɸ symbolized by
the pentagram as a Life Force.
Philosophically, Mars performs the
action of incubation or solidification.
Consciousness or Spirit as the Light of the World
is emanating from the Central Fire of the
system which is the Sun. It expands in
pentagonal arrangements which designates the
orbits of the inner solar system. Mars, as the
outermost layer element weaves this psychic
consciousness into solidification or
materialization on Earth. Consciousness or Spirit
is contained in bodily or material form and
made to evolve on the Earth, the planet of
Water.
The square is the symbol of the earth
element that is solidity. The spiritual function of
ɸ representative of consciousness in the
manifest world requires incubation which is a
Image credit: Hartmut Warm
limit in order that it will engender conscious life
forms in the Cosmos. This is appreciated in the
signatures of both Venus and Mars in relation
to Earth where gestation and the evolution of
consciousness take place. Venus is engendering
consciousness or the spiritual element on our
7
planet while Mars symbolically encases it in
material structures.
As we can see in the diagram with the
actual elliptical orbits, the pattern is still very
clear. In this diagram we also observe how the
Pentagrama Veneris shifts its position by about
2°, while Mars, with its more elliptical orbit also
shows a margin of space between its squaring
positions every 2920 days. The Pentagram does
not churn a full 360° but rather wobbles back
and forth and so does Mars’ position in this
celestial dance.
We continue outwards from the center
of the Solar System to speak of the relationship
between Mars and Jupiter. The space between
Image credit: Hartmut Warm
Mars and Jupiter is more than twice as great as
the distance from the Earth to the Sun. This
giant leap towards the outer solar system is
defined by a boundary known as the asteroid
belt: a collection of rocky debris which seems to
have failed to tune in to the frequencies of
orbital resonance which enable planets and
moons to be composed. Each planet of the solar
system is a bundle of energy coagulated into
specific material volumes, and each body
8
contains clear resonances to the other bodies
which can be appreciated by the geometries
and arithmetic harmonies that build this
marvelous system. These relationships appear
in their spatial dispositions, and/or their orbital
periods and conjunction cycles, but also in their
relative sizes.
The leap from Mars to Jupiter can also
be mapped by the simple yet elegant
geometries of the pentagon. However, between
Jupiter and Mars there is a dwarf planet known
as Ceres which was discovered in 1801 AD. This
dwarf planet is also tuned in to the resonances
which place the orbits in accordance to simple
geometries all across the solar system. In this
case, once again, it is the pentagon which
shows the spacing between Mars, Ceres, and
Jupiter.
In this Harmony of the Spheres which
Pythagoras learned in Egypt and Babylon, the
interplanetary and intergalactic medium (outer
space) is conceived as a vibrating pool of water.
The interplanetary medium is the Ocean in
which the Logos vibrates, resonates, and ripples
in order to constitute the invisible structure
keeping things in order: every planet and orbit
falls at its appointed time because of the Logos.
The signatures are revealed through sacred
geometries which expose their inherent logic to
us visually, but no telescope will help in
recovering this language of celestial music.
The geometries which relate Mars’ orbit
to that of Jupiter is based on squares:

symphony of Jupiter and his play of 12. In India,

Jupiter was known as Brihaspati, and the Hindu
counted a 60 year cycle by following the
wanderings of the “Guru” among planets.
Ideally, Jupiter has an orbital cycle of 4320 days
matching 12 ideal orbits of the Earth (360x12 =
4320). The 60 year Brihaspati cycle of the Hindu
was intended to count 5 cycles of Jupiter
around Olympia.
Now, Jupiter’s 12 fold relationship with
Earth is also linked to the geometries which
contour both planets’ orbits. The orbits of Earth
and Jupiter are linked through the six pointed
hexagram-star: a figure known as the Seal of
Solomon or Star of David.

The Greek name for the planet Jupiter

was Zeus, and the god was known to be King of
Olympia. In Greek mythology Olympia is said to
have 12 Houses or Abodes for each of the 12
gods reigning in heaven over our mortal
sublunar realm. The myth of Zeus as king of
Olympia is no doubt linked to the science of
astrology we are revealing here, because Zeus
does indeed divide the Zodiac into 12 equal
“houses” as observed from Earth. Jupiter’s
orbital period is ideally 12 times that of Earth,
and this produces the effect of observing
Jupiter to divide the heavens into 12 zones by
its retrograde motion.
Jupiter spends one year in every one of
the 12 Zodiac Signs, and, as a king of Olympia,
Zeus spends an entire year in each domain. For
example, if we see the king of Olympia in These geometries show that harmony is
Gemini during one year, the next year we will pervading the entire solar system in order to
see Zeus situated in Cancer, and the next year situate each orbit by geometrical relations to
Zeus will be stationed in the house of Virgo, and one another. Most people think of the other
so on until his orbital period around the zodiac planets of the solar system as distant objects
is complete in some 4332 days. This cycle of whose influence cannot be felt by us on Earth,
Jupiter was most important in Hindu and but this false perspective of things comes from
Chinese astrology as well. In China we hear of a a mistaken belief that Jupiter, Mars, Venus, or
361 day cycle which ties our planet to that any other of the planets are simply too far away

10
to influence our life on Earth. When one studies
the solar system it becomes obvious that every
element is connected to the rest much like the
organs of a single body are.
Here we see that the circular and
elliptical orbits are once again very similar. The
elliptical form is very slight in the case of the
outer planets as well. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune and Pluto are pictured here. Neptune
has the most circular orbit of the solar system
second to Venus, and Pluto has the most
elliptical of all orbits as is clearly visible in the
diagram. Pluto has recently been excluded from
the list of planets, but in any case, it is obvious
that the circular orbits which the ancients used
in order to appreciate the geometric
relationships of the solar system are not as
different as the actual orbits as one might
imagine. If it were not for the dotted lines
provided in the diagram, no person could tell
that the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune are not perfect circles.
Now we step further outwards from the
Sun towards Jupiter and Saturn. As we have
seen in the first chapter of this book, Jupiter
and Saturn are the planets in charge of
producing the Great Conjunction cycle which
the Mayas used as the basis of the Katun.
11
 The “Lord of the Rings” was known to
the Greeks as Kronos and Shani is his name in
Hindu astronomy. The Hindu also called Saturn
the “Son of the Sun”. This tradition of
considering Saturn as a Sun seems to stem from
ancient Magi and the astronomer-priests of
Mesopotamia who observed the heavens from
their colossal Ziggurats. The Akkadians are
believed to have called the Sun Shamash, but
certain scholars of Mesopotamian astronomy
have argued that Shamash could well have been
the name of Saturn instead of the Sun. 2 The
reason behind Saturn’s analogy to the Sun may
be found in the geometries which delimit
Jupiter and Saturn’s orbits in the Logos.
Geometrically, Jupiter’s and Saturn’s orbits are

is usually associated to Ishtar (Venus), but the
octagram image could have been chosen by the
Sumerian priests to picture Shamash as Saturn:

Another reason for calling Saturn a Sun
is that the position of Saturn every 7 years is
seen to square the heavens much like the Sun
does through the Equinox and Solstice Cross.
Using 7-year periods as a unit of time (as the
Jubilee tradition of the Hebrews does) it is easy
to appreciate how Saturn squares the Heavens
like the Sun imposing a Saturnian equinox,
solstice, and year.
Saturn’s orbital period is ideally 10,800
days (360x30). Hence, Kronos takes about 30
times as much to go once around the Sun than
the Earth, imposing a 30:1 ratio between our
planet and the “Lord of the Rings”. It is similar
to the 1:30 ratio between day and month.
However, we know that Satrun’s orbital period
is not exactly 10,800 days long but observed to
be about 10,875 days, and neither is the Earth’s
orbital period 360 days, so we may think the
ratio is quite off.
Nevertheless, a curious feature appears
relating Saturn to the Moon and Earth system.
In order to know Saturn’s orbital period, we
only need to take the Lunation cycle of
29,53059 days (from new moon to new moon),
and set it to years, providing an orbital period of
10,875 days for Saturn that is accurate to
99.9%... Why this arithmetical link occurs
between the orbit of the Moon around the
Earth and that of Saturn around the Sun
compared to the Earth is a mystery, but it is a
clear mathematical link relating Saturn to the
soli-Lunar dance as seen from the Earth.
One is forced to consider if these
functions are accidental, or whether
consciousness was raised on Earth to notice
them in human form… We consider the latter a
more logical and cautious approach to these
synchronicities.
As we speak of the ideal ratio of 1:30
between the orbital periods of Earth and
Saturn, an impressive link is found concerning
the relationships between these planets
geometrically. Dividing the circle of Saturn’s
orbit into 15 portions exposes the precise
relationships between the sizes of Earth and
Saturn themselves.

Continuing onwards beyond Saturn, we
find Uranus at a very considerable distance. The
orbits of Saturn and Uranus are separated by a
simple geometry where the Triangle plays the
fundamental role of limit.
The outermost planets of the Solar
System may be placed by very simple
geometries involving only circles and squares,
or circles and triangles because they are
ordered according to 2:1 and 4:1 ratios which
find their geometrical expression as circles
nested with squares or triangles.
This brief geometrical exposition of the
Solar System is simple, because it is a synthesis
of science. It may be drawn using a compass
and a straight edge, but the angular stone of
the science is our gnosis. The form of the solar
system is that of a resonant work of
architecture or engineering. It is a Work beyond
Man but always one to which Man is the
subject and the experiencer. The structure of
time is harmonic, both geometrically,
arithmetically, and musically as we will see
shortly.
The Solar System as a living organism
has its nucleus where the Sun is. The Sun is an
opening to a world of light pierced in the cosmic
body of darkness. The Egyptians had a high
reverence for the solar disk or Aten as the
physical symbol of the Spiritual Light as Ra. The
disk of the Aten was the great eye which spilled
light into the world from the spiritual realm and
thus the Sun represents the connection
between our modulated reality of night and day
and a realm of eternal light. The study of
Harmut Warm shows that the entire solar
system’s geometry (which disposes matter into
orbital cycles) is governed by the diameter of
the Solar Disk, the Aten.
Other researches which have been
synthesized in this work expose the elegant
geometries of the solar system and bring to
light not only the reality of a startling harmony
in the solar system but the notion of a
cosmological order which is divine and in no
way secular.
