“The golden ratio, φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618, [...] plays an important role in regular pentagons and pentagrams. Each intersection of edges sections the edges in golden ratio: the ratio of the length of the edge to the longer segment is φ, as is the length of the longer segment to the shorter. Also, the ratio of the length of the shorter segment to the segment bounded by the 2 intersecting edges (a side of the pentagon in the pentagram’s center) is φ. As the four-color illustration shows:
The pentagram includes ten isosceles triangles: five acute and five obtuse isosceles triangles. In all of them, the ratio of the longer side to the shorter side is φ. The acute triangles are golden triangles. The obtuse isosceles triangle highlighted via the colored lines in the illustration is a golden gnomon.”
It appears we have a pentagram embedded into the design of Washington DC. It is important to note that the Whitehouse sits at the lower point of this. The origin of the pentagram or pentagon is believed to be derived from occult astrology.
Starting with the top left point, we have:
(5) Dupont Circle Fountain
The fountain at Dupont Circle, designed by Daniel Chester French and architect Henry Bacon, the co-creators of the Lincoln Memorial. According to Embassy.org:
An equestrian monument, commissioned by the legislature of Illinois, honoring John A. Logan. The only thing to note here is this symbolism found on the monument:
The Olive Branch, Sword, Eagle hilt, Solar Disk, Greek key pattern
“The olive branch is a branch of an olive tree. In Western culture, derived from the customs of Ancient Greece, it symbolizes peace or goodwill. The original link between olive branches and peace is unknown. Some explanations center on that olive trees take a very long time to bear fruit. Thus the cultivation of olives is something that is generally impossible in time of war.”
The Eagle:
A representation of prime matter, the start of an alchemical operation. The eagle spreads its wings over the step into creation and fans the fire, encouraging growth of new matter.

The Sword:
As an alchemical symbol the sword is a symbol of purification. The sword can metaphorically clean the spiritual soul of man. This symbolic action sacrifices physical bondage to release a path to ethereal (enlightened) freedom.
“Meanders were among the most important symbols in ancient Greece; they, perhaps, symbolized infinity and unity; many ancient Greek temples incorporated the sign of the meander. Greek vases, especially during their Geometric Period, were likely the genesis for the widespread use of meanders; alternately, very ocean-like patterns of waves also appeared in the same format as meandros, which can also be thought of as the Guilloche pattern.”
(3) Washington Circle
George Washington, a Freemason. There is nothing of particular importance here. Except a few stars. One on Washington’s hat, the other one the horse’s bit.
This is the diagram on the Zodiac that Venus makes in eight years. After that period, Venus, the Sun, the Earth and the stars are again in the same relative positions. It means that Venus, seen from the Earth, is in the same position with respect not only to the Sun, but also to the stars. This happens because five periods of Venus take eight years. Venus (The Morning Star, Lucifer, Second Sun) being a large orange planet is known to be the most occult planet in the solar system.
It is important to note that this pentagram is missing a segment. The missing segment has been debated by Freemasons themselves who claim that this missing segment invalidates the symbol as being a carefully placed pentagram. According to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust:
“The golden ratio, φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618, [...] plays an important role in regular pentagons and pentagrams. Each intersection of edges sections the edges in golden ratio: the ratio of the length of the edge to the longer segment is φ, as is the length of the longer segment to the shorter.

(Goethe’s Faust, Scene Six, Faust’s Study)
Mephistopheles:
Let me own up! I cannot go away; A little hinderance bids me stay, The witch’s foot upon your sill I see.
Faust:
The pentagram? That’s in your way? You son of Hell explain to me, If that stays you, how came you in today?
Mephistopheles:
Observe it closely! It is not well made; One angle, on the outer side of it, is just a little open, as you see.
