When I was looking for Rudolf’s Steiner’s birth chart (there is not one on the internet) I came up with three different dates:

 

1) 27 February 1861

2) 2 February 1861

Strange there should be confusion over Steiner’s date of birth – bit of a muddle really.

 

And then we read the familiar report-

At the beginning we note the following unusual circumstances: Rudolf Steiner was born shortly before midnight on February 25, 1861, in the tiny village of Kraljevec. Owing to negligence of the midwife the child was bleeding almost to death. It was questionable how long it would survive. If this birth had been normal the child would have been baptized a few days later in the church of Kraljevec, but now an emergency baptism was called for. However, the schedule of the church of Kraljevec could not accommodate this emergency. So the child was carried two miles through wintry February cold and snow to the church of Draskovec, a neighboring village. There it was baptized on February 27, and named:

Rudolfus Josephus Laurentius Steiner

or, as we would say:

Rudolf Joseph Laurence Steiner.

Another muddle of strange circumstances.

 

So let us look at what John Jocelyn says about Rudolf Steiner’s astrological placements;

‘We meet a very highly evolved Piscean in this Christ-initiate, Rudolf Steiner who had three planets in Pisces;  the Sun in the degree of ‘Testing’ in the sense of examining and proving; and Mercury and Neptune conjunct at twenty eight degrees, giving him a ‘direct, open line’ to higher worlds.

If we look at an ephemeris for the year 1861 and the date 25^th – Mercury and Neptune are not conjunct at twenty-eight degrees.

 When we look at the date the:

 1^st March 1861 we see it is the only time over this period (Jan/Feb/March) that Mercury and Neptune are conjunct at twenty-eight degrees in Pisces. With the Sun in Pisces at 10 degrees 25 minutes.

Is it coincidence Rudolf was born in the degree of ‘Testing’ to be examined and proved and is it a coincidence the total eclipse on Tuesday the 28^th happened in 10 degrees 35 minutes Pisces?
