FAQ
1. What Is the Fibonacci sequence?
The Fibonacci sequence has long been of interest to philosophers and mathematicians. The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers.
The Fibonacci sequence is named after Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci. Although the sequence had been described earlier in Indian mathematics.
Fibonacci numbers appear often in nature, such as the sunflower, the arrangement of leaves, the nautilus shell, spiral galaxies, and the body proportions of the human body.
In 2012, Dr. Robert G. Sacco began to bring the Fibonacci sequence to the study of human development. A multi-year project was launched. This resulted in the Fibonacci Life Chart Method. One of the key findings is the Fibonacci sequence produces eight life stages. These life stages are points of major change in human development. Said in another way: human growth is based on the Fibonacci sequence.
2. What is the Fibonacci Lifechart Method?
In 2013, it was shown the Fibonacci sequence resulted in the classification of eight life stages, a confirmation of Erik Erikson’s original 8 stage model of human development. Research shows Fibonacci life stages relate to important human life outcomes.
For example:
3. How was the Fibonacci Life Chart Method developed?
Designed by Robert G. Sacco, Ph.D., the Fibonacci Life Chart Method was developed based on mathematics, world religions, philosophies, and psychology looking for the underlying mathematical structure of life. Examples of classic works studied included:
Doctor Sacco designed the Fibonacci Lifechart Method based on 262 golden ratio dates in a human lifespan, described in more detail in the free Guidebook.
4. What are life stages?
Life is a journey with a beginning, middle, and an end. Erik Erikson’s life cycle model consists of eight stages of human development. Erikson's model of development is very significant and highly regarded. Erikson believed the epigenetic principle shapes human development. The Fibonacci Life Chart Method confirms eight stages of human development based on the Fibonacci sequence. Psychologists point out each life stage has unique needs and challenges. “Life Stages” imply different phases in life, and that each phase builds on the previous ones.
5. How does the Fibonacci Lifechart® differ from other Life charts?
The Fibonacci Lifechart® is the only scientific birth chart. It measures human growth patterns across all domains. It is the only scientific birth chart that helps everyone predict major development changes. The Fibonacci Lifechart® is different from astrological birth charts in its scientific roots. Science bases its explanation on the results of experiments and objective evidence. While aspects of astrology have roots in the science of astronomy, today astrology is not considered a science.
6. Are there benefits to knowing your Fibonacci Lifechart?
Research is continuing to accumulate around the benefits of the Fibonacci Lifechart. Generally, the Fibonacci Lifechart seems to assist in predicting human stability and change while encouraging tangible outcomes like:
7. Who should get their Fibonacci Lifechart?
Anyone interested in learning more about their developmental patterns should get their Fibonacci Lifechart. The Fibonacci Lifechart is for everyone.
8. How long will it take me to complete my Fibonacci Lifechart?
Your Fibonacci Lifechart is calculated immediately after inputting your birthday. However, you can print your Lifechart and complete the questions relating to the seven categories to help you understand your Lifechart. This takes approximately 1-2 hours to complete.
9. How can I get my Fibonacci Lifechart?
You may get your Fibonacci Lifechart from our website. After your Fibonacci Lifechart is generated you may choose to print your Lifechart and complete the questions relating to the seven categories. You can view detailed instructions about the Fibonacci Lifechart in the Guidebook on our website.
10. How much does the Fibonacci Lifechart cost?
The Fibonacci Lifechart is $144 USD.
11. As a professional, why would I use Fibonacci Lifechart in my work?
Psychology training programs do not focus on predicting psychological change. Instead, the focus is on problems and what is wrong with individuals. There is a significant need to correct this bias with a different approach. A human growth perspective helps the professional to “see” more of the process of psychological change. It offers the professional a more complete picture. Such an approach offers a different “lens” for seeing problems.
12. What training can I receive?
In addition to perusing both the website and our YouTube channel, we recommend taking a look at our course that offers a deep dive into understanding and applying the Fibonacci Lifechart. The course is designed both for novices or seasoned psychology/counselor practitioners.
13. How do Fibonacci life stages relate to happiness?
Age 48 is a Fibonacci Lifechart age and is associated around the world with lower levels of happiness. Biological changes occur at this age in both males and females in terms of fluctuating hormone levels. For example, the average age of menopause around the world is 48.8 and marks the end of the fertile lifespan. Evolutionary theory states that sadness is adaptive since it leads the individual to try to make up for a loss. Sadness is an emotion that can serve to remind us of what matters to us, what gives our life meaning.
14. How do Fibonacci life stages relate to spiritual experience?
Spiritual experiences are related to a sense of unity. The universe consists of nonlocal and fractal connection. Significantly, fractal geometry includes the Fibonacci sequence as a unifying theme. The Fibonacci spiral also has self-similarity. Therefore the Fibonacci sequence might relate to a sense of unity. In fact, age 18 (Fibonacci Lifechart age) has been shown to predict increased spiritual experience.
15. Is it necessary for me to work with a consultant?
It is not necessary to work with a professional to benefit from the Fibonacci Lifechart. You can gain important insights from learning about your Fibonacci Lifechart individually. However, reviewing the Fibonacci Lifechart with a helping professional can be valuable to self-understanding. Many people find it useful for more detailed views of their growth patterns to work with a trained professional. It is an individual choice.
16. What information will I receive when I complete my Fibonacci Lifechart?
Immediately after completing the Fibonacci Lifechart you will receive a list of your 262 golden ratio dates. You can then fill out the corresponding questions for each of the seven life domains.
17. Is there a Licensee program?
Yes. “Licensee” refers to a person who is licensed to use the Fibonacci Lifechart® brand, courses, and technology in their business. These are individuals who have completed our online course, additional training, and have made a commitment to integrating the principles of Life Charting in their own lives.
