Four congruent circles and golden parallelogram

Four circles (O1), (O2), (O3), (O4) are congruent and arranged as following:

Two circles (O1), (O2) are passing through centers each other. One of their intersection is P. P is under line O1O2....

Two circles (O3), (O4) are passing through centers each other. One of their intersection is Q. Q is upper line O3O4.

(O2) is external touching with (O3), (O4)

(O3) is external touching with (O1), (O2)

Four lines PO1, PO2, QO3, QO4 form a parallelogram PAQB
