181. Anthroposophical Life Gifts: Lecture II 01 Apr 1918, Berlin
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
I shall declare again and again—not because it is the absolutely correct one did it appear, but because it serves the evolution of man, in that he can best attain the development of the Spiritual Soul if he allows the Copernican world-philosophy to enter his flesh and blood, if he reaches the point of being able to calculate certain constellations of stars through the Copernican world-philosophy, as has been done in more recent times. What is then really good in the Copernican world-philosophy?
210. Old and New Methods of Initiation: Lecture XII 19 Mar 1922, Dornach
Translated by Johanna Collis

Rudolf Steiner
The Wallenstein (Wallenstein's Camp) drama is comprehensible only when we take into account that Wallenstein feels himself to be filled with the forces which emanate from the starry constellations. At the end of the eighteenth century Schiller felt compelled to return to a contemplation of the stars which was familiar in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to those who thought about such things.
231. Supersensible Man: Lecture IV 17 Nov 1923, The Hague
Translated by Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
In reality the Moon is a cosmic colony of many Beings—I described it to you in the last lecture. It is the same with all the stars and constellations. This fact must be borne in mind throughout our present study. The lectures so far have brought us to the point where, during his life between death and a new birth, man passes into the Sun sphere.
238. Karmic Relationships IV: Lecture IV 12 Sep 1924, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Dorothy S. Osmond, Charles Davy

Rudolf Steiner
And they regarded what man bears within him as the spirit in connection with the constellations, the glory of the fixed stars, the spiritual Powers whom they knew to be there in the stars. Thus from the whole universe, from the cosmos, they understood the human being.
270. Esoteric Instructions: Tenth Lesson 25 Apr 1924, Dornach
Translated by John Riedel

Rudolf Steiner
Today people think that of course this was present as a free-form unfolding of the will of the ancient inhabitants of the earth, and due to the constellations having been called by these names, then the pictures were made accordingly. This was certainly not the case, but rather just the opposite, for in ancient times, the shepherds on the moors were not simply gazing out upon the star-beset heavens with physical eyes, but rather, they were also deeply immersed in dream-awareness or in sleep-awareness while out there with their herds, and they were wandering eyes-closed in soul out in the depths of space.
220. Fall and Redemption 21 Jan 1923, Dornach
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
We must learn to understand the movements of the planets. We must learn to understand the star constellations, and their influence on what happens on earth. Then we draw near to the language that Christ spoke.
243. True and False Paths in Spiritual Investigation: The Three Worlds and their Reflected Images 12 Aug 1924, Torquay
Translated by A. H. Parker

Rudolf Steiner
We now lift our eyes to the canopy of heaven and see the stars, arrayed in their manifold shining constellations, spread out across the sky. And now a new joyous exultation from on high invests our soul. By day then, we can look down upon the growing plant-cover of the Earth as something that fills our heart with inward joy and exultation.
118. The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric: Mysteries of the Universe: Comets and the Moon 05 Mar 1910, Stuttgart
Translated by Barbara Betteridge, Ruth Pusch, Diane Tatum, Alice Wuslin, Margaret Ingram de Ris

Rudolf Steiner
In a sense we may say that this whole cosmic adjustment that we know today as the contrast between sun and earth had to be made in order that man might be given this place of precedence in our universe. This constellation of sun and earth had to be brought about for the sake of man, that he might be raised from the posture of the animals.
352. A Spiritual Scientific View of Nature and Man: Einstein's Theory of Relativity — Thinking that is out of Touch with Reality 27 Feb 1924, Dornach
Translated by Steiner Online Library

Rudolf Steiner
In relation to the earth it is correct, but in relation to the sun it is not correct, because the sun moves very fast, rushing at a tremendous speed through the starry universe, which is in the constellation of Hercules – and of course we are all with it. On the one hand we revolve around the sun, but with the rotation around the sun we rush with it through space.
83. The Tension Between East and West: Individual and Society 07 Jun 1922, Vienna
Translated by B. A. Rowley

Rudolf Steiner
The second is that of finding a bridge across to someone else, someone who lives in a different social constellation. Nowadays, this is made very difficult for mankind; for when we take up a position in social life in line with our feelings, our judgment is not ultimately based on reality.
