Sacred Geometry is mainly a vehicle for selling tacky jewellery, mediocre art and other new age quackery. It's all about art hoes buying fake crystals and posting green tea smoothies on their Instagram.
It's just "pick a pattern and assign arbitrary meaning to it, occasionally finding ways to bullshit it to other things so you can shout to everyone how its 'everywhere' and must therefore be extremely important."
Even Pythagoras led a cult that worshipped numbers. For the Pythagoreans, math was a religious experience and some equations were divine secrets, unfit for public eyes. He taught his followers that the world was controlled by mathematical harmonies that made up every part of reality.
Oliver Sacks in his book "Migraine" was talking about hallucinations during migraine aura and how people will often see a hexagonal, morphing grid (much like psychedelics induce) and speculated that there are sort of "minimal perceptual units" that sort of blow out of resolution in certain altered states. It makes sense since damn near everything else seems to follow a related geometric formula.
If there were more people studying under the mantle "sacred geometry" that did anything unique to advance that heading, I would have a different opinion. As far as I can tell, that doesn't happen, its largely a confirmation bias engine. An inflexible doctrine with well worn biases.
There is definitely deep structure to existence that can sometimes be leveraged to our benefit, but most systematic explanations of sacred geometry are just repackaged new age propaganda.
