265. The History of the Esoteric School 1904–1914, Volume Two: Jakin and Boaz or the Pillars of Hercules N/A

Rudolf Steiner
An historical aspect of the significance of the two columns was developed in the lecture Berlin, June 20, 1916 (third lecture of the cycle “Weltwesen und Ichheit”, CW 169) as follows: It is truly the case that we move through the whole of life as the sun moves through the twelve constellations. We enter our life with our consciousness for the senses, as it were, rising at one column of the world and setting at the other.
19. Additional Documents Concerning the Events of World War I: Second Memorandum, second version N/A
Translated by Steiner Online Library

Rudolf Steiner
Only the utopian can go into detail, but his constellations, which arise from abstract thinking, are not feasible. What is said here may only appear in general guidelines.
60. Zarathustra 19 Jan 1911, Berlin
Translated by Walter F. Knox

Rudolf Steiner
Thus arose the science of penetrating into the spiritual world and of reading and interpreting the constellations. He knew too, how to decipher the signs in which the Cosmic Spirits inscribe their activities into space.
112. The Gospel of St. John: The Artistic Composition of the Gospel of St. John 02 Jul 1909, Kassel
Translated by Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
Thus we have shown, through the whole constellation of conditions surrounding this first sign, how the unison of souls which results from blood ties produces an effect even in the physical world.
116. The Christ Impulse and the Development of the Ego-Consciousness: Correspondences Between the Microcosm and the Macrocosm 09 Mar 1910, Berlin
Translated by Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
Just as on the one hand we are given the possibility of perishing in the materialistic morass, on the other it is possible, through the Sun reaching a certain point in the Constellation of Pisces at the Vernal Equinox, that a certain etheric clairvoyance may be acquired.
117. Deeper Secrets of Human Development in the Light of the Gospels: The Gospel of Matthew and the Christ-Problem 19 Nov 1909, Zürich

Rudolf Steiner
The individual gifts of clairvoyance are divided into twelve, and they are represented by the twelve constellations, for they are gifts of heaven. The last of these gifts of clairvoyance was sacrificed by Abraham in order to receive the people of Israel.
190. Past and Future Impulses in Society: Lecture I 21 Mar 1919, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Now think what that depended on. It depended on the fact that constellations had occurred that were completely independent of the first coming into being. It's not true that when Goethe wrote his letters, these letters were perhaps worth a great deal to the recipient.
162. The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: Tree of Knowledge I 07 Aug 1915, Dornach
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
In the Earth's evolution from Saturn, Sun, Moon to Earth, we have for the first time, through this macrocosmic constellation, the possibility of seeing and perceiving objects as we do now. Such perceptions were naturally not present during the Sun-existence.
252. The History of the Johannesbau and Goetheanum Associations: On the Eve of the First Anniversary of the Laying of the Foundation Stone of the Johannesbau 19 Sep 1914, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
But understanding must s achieved who but, my dear friends, how, under the influence of the other impulses, the constellation has arisen in such a way that, on the one hand, what has come as materialism can neither be lived out differently nor fought differently than as it happens.
344. The Founding of the Christian Community: Seventeenth Lecture 21 Sep 1922, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
However, they did not proceed with all the facts in the way that today in external science, where one proceeds according to the so-called historical sources, but rather, great value was placed on determining the day of Jesus' death not from a historical source but from stellar wisdom, thus saying: at this and that stellar constellation, the death of Jesus occurs. Such was the form. But this knowledge of the stars was no longer very much alive at the time when the Gospels were written down in the form in which they now exist, and so you can very easily find that one person saw it one way and another person saw it another way.
