Later it rose in early spring in the constellation of Gemini, then in that of Taurus and later still in that of Aries. People have always felt that what reached them from the vault of heaven in the beams of the early spring sun was especially beneficial. This is why people venerated the ram when the spring sun rose in the constellation of Aries; it is also the reason for legends such as “The Golden Fleece” and others. Earlier than that the sun rose in spring in the constellation of Taurus, and we find in ancient Egypt the cult of the bull Apis. But the transition from Atlantis to post-Atlantis took place under the constellation of Cancer, whose sign is the intertwining spirals—a sign you find depicted in calendars.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

In jener alten Zeit ging sie, wie gesagt, bei Frühlingsanfang im Sternbilde des Krebses auf, dann eine Zeitlang im Sternbilde der Zwillinge, dann im Sternbilde des Stieres und dann des Widders. Die Völker haben immer dasjenige als etwas besonders Wohlträtiges empfunden, was ihnen vom Himmelsgewölbe die ersten Sonnenstrahlen zusendet. Daher sehen Sie, daß man, als die Sonne anfing im Sternbilde des Widders aufzugehen, angefangen hat, den Widder zu verehren. Daher rühren die ganzen Lammsagen, die Sage vom goldenen Vließ und so weiter. Früher, bevor die Sonne im Sternbilde des Widders aufgegangen war, ging sie im Sternbilde des Stieres auf. Daher haben die Kulturen, welche den WidderKulturen vorangegangen sind, den Stier als heiliges Tier verehrt. Sie finden daher in jener Zeit zum Beispiel die Verehrung des ägyptischen Stieres Apis. In der Zeit des Überganges von der atlantischen in die nachatlantische Zeit haben Sie die Herrschaft des Sternbildes des Krebses gehabt.
