The greatest pattern in Nature is the day produced by the revolution of Earth. The 2nd greatest pattern in Nature is the 29.53 day cycle of the Moon with its phases being how this cycle is tracked. The 3rd greatest pattern in Nature is the solar year of 365.24 days and the 4th greatest pattern is the lunar year of 354.37 days. These 4 great patterns were first observed maybe 40,000+ years ago. They resulted in ancient man discovering and developing math/numerology and astronomy/astrology - the first science.
The '4 Great Patterns in Nature' were the basis of the great ancient civilzations of Sumeria, Egypt, India, China, Druids, Americas, Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans.

This is a rather Geocentric hypothesis, based on its undoubted importance to life on Earth.
- It is also a somewhat dated pattern, since the duration of Earth's day, and the duration of the Moon's orbit have both changed over geological time.
I am sure that there are other patterns that have a more universal importance, like the pattern of spectral lines from Hydrogen, the pattern of classes of subatomic particles, or the pattern of nuclear synthesis in stars...

The Milankovitch cycles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles) are more important to life on Earth : they are responsible for ice ages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age#Variations_in_Earth.27s_orbit_.28Milankovitch_cycles.29) which have snuffed-out most life on Earth present at the time.

Axial precession, which is one of the Milankovitch cycles, was known about BC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession#History).

As has been pointed out before, numerology and astrology are not science.
