Sacred Geometry: A Primer

Alright, so today's task, say you want to center you're drawing or painting etc. a square in a bigger space, how would you do that in the way that looked best? Wouldn't it be great if you could center the square so with the space on either side would be a golden section? You can do that, here's how:

Take the width of your paper (etc.), that is the line that you're working with. Also, you should do this on a scratch piece of paper first, so draw a line the same size.

Find the perpendicular of your horizontal line and draw that in.

Set your compass in the center point of the horizontal line and draw a half circle on that line.

In the center of the half circle, draw a double square (or the corners of one).

Draw a diagonal line through each of the double squares to meet the half circle.

Draw a line to connect the diagonal lines.

Set your compass with the point in the center of the top horizontal line and set the drawing point to one of the diagonal line intersections. With your compass set the same way, put the point in the center of the bottom horizontal line and mark the two bottom points of the square.

The square is now the center of two golden sections. Leave the distance between one half of the semicircle and square between the top of your space and the square.
