122. Genesis (1959): Light and Darkness. Yom and Lay'lah 21 Aug 1910, Munich
Translated by Dorothy Lenn, Owen Barfield

Rudolf Steiner
While the Archai themselves are still active as Aeons, for the deployment of their forces they make use of the Archangels, the light-bearers, who act from the circumference. That means that through the constellations of the light-Beings surrounding the earth, the Archangels work out of cosmic space in such a way that the great ordinances laid down by the Archai may be carried into effect.
98. Nature and Spirit Beings — Their Effects in Our Visible World: The Relationship between Worlds and Beings 29 Apr 1908, Munich
Translated by Antje Heymanns

Rudolf Steiner
In reality, the Sun races with high speed through space towards the constellation of Hercules. A movement, as it is usually described, is only feigned by the fact that the planets also move along.
209. Nordic and Central European Spiritual Impulses: The Feast of the Epiphany of Christ 25 Dec 1921, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
In contrast to this, Easter is a so-called movable feast, which appears to be arranged according to the constellation of the sun and moon, the observation of which is thus, to a certain extent, brought in from the extra-terrestrial cosmos.
209. The Alphabet: An Expression of the Mystery of Man 18 Dec 1921, Dornach
Translated by Violet E. Watkin

Rudolf Steiner
We can get an approximate idea of the signs of the Zodiac if we relate them to modern speech by setting up B, C, D, F, and so forth, as constellations of the Zodiac. You can follow them by feeling the revolution of the planets in H (ed.: ‘H’ like in him, her)—H is not actually a letter like the others, H imitates the rotational movement, the circling around.
213. Spiritual Wisdom in the Early Christian Centuries 16 Jul 1922, Dornach
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
But the Sun circles through the Zodiac, through the twelve constellations. It is not enough merely to observe this phenomenon, for three hundred and sixty heavenly Powers are working and weaving therein, sending forth the Sun-forces which flood the whole universe accessible to man.
201. Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe: Lecture XVI 16 May 1920, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
The Hebrew of old was clearly and distinctly conscious that the twelve tribes of old Israel were projections on Earth of the constellations of the Zodiac. The twelve-foldness of the Universe comes to expression in the life of man; and we may say that in those days the life of man was pictured as a result of the twelve-foldness of the Heavens, of the Zodiac.
227. The Evolution of Consciousness: During Sleep and after Death 26 Aug 1923, Penmaenmawr
Translated by Violet E. Watkin, Charles Davy

Rudolf Steiner
Such stones can of course be distributed in the circle so as to show how the spiritual rays of the Sun differ according to particular constellations of the stars. I have been trying to make clear to you the world in which our Ego lives during sleep.
232. Mystery Centres: Lecture XI 15 Dec 1923, Dornach
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
For the plants did not say the same thing to the pupil every night. When the moon was in the constellation of Leo flowers said something quite different to what they did when the moon was in that of Virgo or Scorpio.
233a. Rosicrucianism and Modern Initiation: Research into the Life of the Spirit During the Middle Ages 04 Jan 1924, Dornach
Translated by Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
And so it came about that just as hitherto men had spoken of Cosmic Intelligences that rule the movements of the planets, that lead the planets across the constellations of the fixed stars, and so forth, now they spoke instead of the immediate environment of the Earth.
233a. The Easter Festival in relation to the Mysteries: Lecture I 19 Apr 1924, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Indeed we cannot but observe the connection of Easter with the secrets and riddles of the Universe when we bear in mind the fact that Easter is a movable festival, the date of which has to be reckoned year by year from that constellation of the stars which we shall shortly consider more in detail. At the same time we must observe how many customs and sacred ceremonies have been associated with the Easter Festival for centuries—customs and ceremonies which lie very near to the heart of large numbers of humanity.
