This annual publication features articles on star wisdom
(astrosophy) and a guide to the correspondences between stellar
configurations during the life of Christ and those of today. The
guide includes a complete sidereal ephemeris and aspectarian,
geocentric, and heliocentric for each day of the 2021. According to
Rudolf Steiner, each step taken by Christ during his ministry, from
the Baptism in the Jordan to his Resurrection, was in harmony with,
and an expression of, the cosmos. The Star Wisdom series is
concerned with these heavenly correspondences during the life of
Christ and is intended to help one to build a foundation for cosmic
Christianity, the cosmic dimension of Christianity. It is this
approach that, until now, has been largely missing from
Christianity and its two-millennia history. Readers can begin this
path today by contemplating the movements of the Sun, Moon, and
planets against the background of the zodiacal constellations
(sidereal signs) in relation to corresponding stellar events during
the life of Christ. In this way, the possibility is opened for
attuning in a living way to the life of Christ, who since the
beginning of his Second Coming in 1933 is now spiritually present
in the etheric aura of the Earth. The articles include: -- "The
Bellows of Ahriman" by Julie Humphreys -- "The Tree of Life" by
Joel Matthew Park -- "Finding Future Grail Sites" by Joel Matthew
Park -- "Astrology: The Science of Wholeness" by Wolfgang Smith --
"The Path from Pisces to Aquarius" by Bill Trusiewicz -- "Classics
in Astrosophy" by Robert Powell -- "Rudolf Steiner and the
Christmas Conference" by Krisztina Cseri "Stargazing and
Commentary" for 2021 are provided by Julie Humphreys and Joel
Matthew Park, offering readers an opportunity to connect the
spiritual with the stellar configurations of the year. This guide
to direct interaction between human beings on Earth and angels and
other heavenly beings connected with the stars is intended to help
the reader develop the capacity to receive the wisdom-filled
teachings of the spiritual hierarchies.
Contemporary science views our planet as an insignificant speck of
dust in the vastness of space, with its four kingdoms as a random
assemblage of atoms. Yvan Rioux presents a radically different
perspective, demonstrating an indissoluble relationship between
Heaven and Earth. Over aeons of existence, the four kingdoms have
manifested a creative power that perpetually brings forth new
expressions. With the goal of bridging science and spirit, Rioux
helps revive the old intuitive awareness of an intimate communion
between the outer perceptible life of nature, the inner life of the
soul and the majestic spiritual formative forces that preside as
architects - an organic whole where all levels co-evolve. The
earth, nesting in its solar system, is connected with the Milky Way
and the twelve constellations. The impact of the stars as an
influence on human behaviour has been known for millennia. In the
original edition of Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul, twelve
illustrations of the constellations, made by Imma von Eckardstein,
were published for the first time. These intuitive drawings differ
greatly from the traditional ones, but Steiner stressed their
importance for our modern consciousness. The images invite us to
comprehend formative forces in their various guises in the kingdoms
of nature. By exploring the gifts of each constellation, the author
uses Imma's drawings as a template to elucidate the emergence of
twelve basic forms as the common denominators of all creatures,
leading eventually towards the human form. 'The [new] images of the
zodiac constellations represent actual experiences connected with
the waking and sleeping of particular spiritual beings. In these
images we have a knowledge that needs to be renewed at this
time...' - Rudolf Steiner (1912)
