planetary conditions
Presiding spirits of the planets. In Anthroposophy,these are taken to be real beings. Thus,for instance,Steiner taught that the spirit often seen as God the Father is actually the ruling god of Saturn,while the spirit often seen as Christ is actually the Sun God. Steiner likewise located Jehovah on the Moon,Lucifer on Venus,and so forth.
In various Anthroposophical texts: human beings living on other planets,or descended from people who lived on other planets,or who lived during various "planetary conditions
"There have been several alleged communications regarding life on other planets...all of which must remain speculative." 73 p. 160[Steiner spoke of life on various physical planets,stars,and planetoids,as well as life during various planetary conditions.]
Humans have left the Earth for other planets and returned — or so Steiner said. A major migration occurred during the Lemurian Age,when Earth became too hardened for most humans to bear. The migrants generally returned to Earth during the Atlantean Age.
According to Steiner: incorporeal organs that we develop after death as we rise through planetary spheres,particularly the spheres of Mars,Jupiter,and Saturn.
In esotericism: the resident spirits or gods of various planets.
Occult representations of the planets,such as the ones designed by Rudolf Steiner.
In Anthroposophy: the souls we develop as we reside in various planetary spheres. If,in sleep or death,you spend more time in a particular planetary sphere,your soul is primarily conditioned by that sphere. See "planetary types".
In Steiner's teachings: concentric regions of spiritual existence defined by the orbits of planets (when he acknowledged that the planets do orbit the Sun,something he often denied). A planet orbiting far from the Sun has a larger sphere than a planet orbiting near the Sun; the smaller sphere is enclosed within the larger sphere.
