75. The Relationship between Anthroposophy and the Natural Sciences: Anthroposophy, Its Essence and Its Philosophical Foundations 08 Jul 1920, Bern

Rudolf Steiner
If we really come to know the inner configuration of soul life in the way I have described, then we will see everything that is the physical organization of the brain in such a way that we can say: This is not at all shaped by the inner forces of the bodily constellation, but rather the soul, which we have only just come to know, has worked from the outside in the same way as human footsteps or carts have worked in the softened soil.
69c. A New Experience of Christ: Raphael in the Light of Spiritual Science 11 Mar 1913, Munich

Rudolf Steiner
And if we then turn our gaze to the left, we see in the expressions of [the figures] connecting the right with the left, how what is read on the right from the star constellations is written down on the left, and if we could really get the books in front of our eyes, we could see how the secrets of the world are written on the left, which are then determined by sensory observation [on the right].
98. The Mysteries 25 Dec 1907, Cologne
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
The influence of the cooler North, the descent of the Ego into the threefold physical nature of man, is expressed according to the old symbol taken from the Constellation of the Bear and shows a hand thrust into the jaws of a bear. The lower physical nature expressed by the fiery dragon is overcome; and what has been preserved, represented by the higher rank of animal life, was expressed in the bear; and the Ego, which has developed beyond the dragon nature, was represented with profound appropriateness by the thrusting of a human hand into the bear's jaws.
171. The Templars 02 Oct 1916, Dornach
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
It is today not yet possible to show in all detail how the human ether body draws downwards on the paths of light when these paths are guided in a particular manner through the constellation of the stars at the time. For that to be possible, human beings will have to lift themselves to a higher stage of morality.
185a. The Developmental History of Social Opinion: First Lecture 09 Nov 1918, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
And here too, of course, the intention of industrialists and financiers lay behind the matter. This whole constellation led to the fact that, of course in a non-binding way, because it was not a government act, the emperor performed a great deed, he would not allow himself to be belittled this time, and he would, if Russia was to be mobilized in any way, certainly mobilize and so on.
174b. The Spiritual Background of Human History: Sixteenth Lecture 21 Mar 1921, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
Anyone who does not form an opinion out of prejudice but from expertise about these things, knows that basically everyone was actually quite unsuspecting except for the forty to fifty personalities who brought about the outbreak of war, who were actually active under the constellation of European conditions. During the war, I truly had the opportunity to talk about the situation with many people who were able to judge it, and I never minced my words.
343. Lectures on Christian Religious Work II: Twenty-first Lecture 06 Oct 1921, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
But nothing can be said about it because it will depend on what the whole world constellation is like. So we have beings that have nothing to do with original sin. Even those entities, which were the actual tempters of men in the course of the development of the earth, which are represented by the snake in paradise, these entities also have nothing to do with original sin, but with a sin freely committed by them.
70b. Ways to a Knowledge of the Eternal Forces of the Human Soul: A Healthy Emotional Life and Spiritual Research 19 Mar 1916, Munich

Rudolf Steiner
And in a German magazine, a man writes - according to him, he is an Austrian German - the following words, really the following words: "The critic's accusation that Steiner has constructed opposing cultures from the current constellation of powers is justified. With the best will in the world, I am unable to perceive any essential difference between Central European and Western and Eastern European culture, as Steiner does.
69b. Knowledge and Immortality: Zarathustra, His Teaching and His Mission 11 Dec 1910, Munich

Rudolf Steiner
Thus the five spirits of Ahriman are symbolized by the five dark winter constellations of the zodiac. And so there are twelve spiritual entities: Ormuzd with his servants and Ahriman with his servants.
66. Mind and Matter — Life and Death: Life, Death and the Immortal Soul in the Universe 22 Mar 1917, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
I can only say: Everyone knows how the astronomer can calculate a future star constellation from a present one, how one can calculate future solar and lunar eclipses. What happens here through calculation happens when one finds the right relationship to what one learns about the two currents that I have indicated, in their relation to the final state of the earth.
