237. Karmic Relationships III: The Spiritual Foundations of Anthroposophical Endeavour 06 Jul 1924, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Dorothy S. Osmond

And then we become aware that we can look also at the constellations of stars, saying to ourselves: ‘How is all this, that we behold in cosmic spaces, connected with the life of man?’
239. Karmic Relationships: VII: Lecture II 08 Jun 1924, Wrocław
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

The Moon, the planets Venus, Jupiter—verily these heavenly bodies are not as physical astronomy describes them. In their constellations, in their mutual relationships, in their radiance, in their whole existence, they are the builders and 1 shapers of human destinies, they are the cosmic timepiece according to which we live out our karma.
240. Cosmic Christianity and the Impulse of Michael: Lecture III 21 Aug 1924, Torquay
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

A group of men was necessary, one of whom felt himself as the representative of the Sun at the centre, and whose twelve companions were trained in such a way that in temperament, disposition and manner of acting, all of them together formed a twelve-fold whole—twelve individual men grouped as the Zodiacal constellations are grouped around the Sun. Such was the Round Table: King Arthur at the centre, surrounded by the Twelve, above each of whom a Zodiacal symbol was displayed, indicating the particular cosmic influence with which he was associated.

223. The Cycle of the Year as Breathing-Process of the Earth: Lecture II 01 Apr 1923, Dornach
Translated by Barbara Betteridge, Frances E. Dawson

When today men reflect that Easter might be set abstractly on any day, no longer according to the constellations of the stars, when today all higher knowledge is darkened, when man no longer sees any relation between insight into the soul-spiritual and the natural-physical forces, the force must once more awaken in man which will be able to unite something spiritual directly with the sense phenomena of the world.
225. Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy: The World of Dreams as a Transitional Current between the Physical-Natural World and the World of Moral Concepts 22 Sep 1923, Dornach

For the Greeks, the world was born out of chaos, that is, out of a context that was not yet natural law, but rather like a dream or, as it still is today, the worlds of the constellation of Orion, the hunting dog and so on. First, you enter a world that at least announces itself to man in the fantastic but vivid world of dream images.
225. The World of Dreams as a Bridge between the Physical World and the World of Moral Ideas 22 Sep 1923, Dornach
Translated by Violet E. Watkin

A Greek considered the world to have been brought forth out of chaos, out of a condition, that is, not yet in accordance with natural law, but as it is in dreams or, as is it still today, in the far reaches of the cosmos – in the Dog star near the constellation of Orion and so on. There we come to a world which still makes itself known to man in the fantastic but living land of dream-imagery.
214. The Mystery of Golgotha 27 Aug 1922, Oxford
Translator Unknown

Looking up to the stars, he saw them not in the mere abstract constellations which we see to-day. He saw them in dreamlike Imaginations. In a dreamlike way he saw the whole Universe filled with spiritual pictures or Imaginations, and as he saw it thus he could exclaim: “This is the last reflected glory of the spiritual World from which I am come down.
219. Man and the World of Stars: Midsummer and Midwinter Mysteries 23 Dec 1922, Dornach
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

—And similarly in the other heavenly bodies and constellations, man discovered the secrets of his organism. It was not possible to proceed in this way in the book Occult Science.
219. The Spiritual Communion of Mankind 23 Dec 1922, Dornach
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond
