A certain horoscope is allotted to a person because, within it, those forces find expression which have led him into being. If for example in the horoscope Mars stands over Aries (the Ram), this signifies that certain of the Aries forces are not allowed to pass through Mars, and are weakened. Thus is a man put into his place within physical existence, and it is in accordance with his horoscope that he guides himself before entering upon earthly existence. This subject, which in our times seems so much a thing of chance, should not be touched upon without our attention being called to the fact that nearly everything practised in this connection today is simply dilettantism. It is pure superstition, and for the external world the true science of these matters has been for the most part completely lost. Consequently, the principles expressed here are not to be judged according to that which nowadays frequently leads a questionable existence under the name Astrology.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":188,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l03/p013?edition=ASGB1921","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":null,"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["AP1992","ASGB1921"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p013"},{"lang":"en","edition":"AP1992","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l03/p013","paragraph_aligned":true},{"lang":"en","edition":"ASGB1921","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":false,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l03/p013?edition=ASGB1921","paragraph_aligned":true}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l03","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 15/l03/p016","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p016"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":184,"en_words":188,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Einem Menschen ist ein bestimmtes Horoskop zugeordnet, weil in demselben sich die Kräfte ausdrücken, die ihn ins Dasein geführt haben. Wenn so zum Beispiel im Horoskop der Mars über dem Widder steht, so heißt das, daß gewisse Widderkräfte nicht durch den Mars durchgelassen werden, daß sie abgeschwächt werden. Es wird also der Mensch in das physische Dasein hineingestellt, und das Horoskop ist das, wonach er sich richtet, bevor er sich hineinbegibt in das irdische Dasein. Es soll diese Sache, die ja in unserer Gegenwart so gewagt erscheint, nicht berührt werden, ohne darauf aufmerksam zu machen, daß fast alles, was in dieser Richtung jetzt getrieben wird, der reinste Dilettantismus ist - ein wahrer Aberglaube -, und daß für die äußere Welt die wahre Wissenschaft von diesen Dingen zum großen Teile ganz verloren gegangen ist.
