Both Steiners’ karmic and life path were that of the 27’s The Sceptre. The Chaldeans stated its’ numerological affects to be: “This is an excellent, harmonious and fortunate number of courage and power, with a touch of enchantment. It blesses the person or entity it represents with a promise of authority and command. It guarantees that great rewards will come from the productive labors, the intellect, and the imagination. All of these creative faculties have sown good seeds, which are to reap a rich harvest. People or entities represented by the 27 should always carry out their own original plans and ideas, and not be intimidated or influenced by the diverse opinions or opposition of others.”

The singular 9 here and Pisces influence found Steiner to be compelled to lead the spiritual realms that engaged his intellect and imagination on all levels, while being a constant mystical seeker in his life. There wasn’t an area of philosophy, literature, education, the arts, writing, social thinking, or esoteric quests that he didn’t touch. Indeed Steiner was a man who came to be a leader for the world and for the entire Universe at large.

There is an interesting discrepancy about Steiner’s true date of birth. Some claim he was born upon the 25 Feb. Yet, the Moon sign differences from the 25 February to the 27 February give us one clue into Steiner’s understanding of creating balance and beauty alone when it came to architecture had to come from the Libra Moon that was present upon the 27 February. Steiner was also a peaceful being emotionally, surely the sign of a Venus-guided Lunar influence.

When we further examine the timing in history that marked his life by matching up the numbers, it seems unlikely the 25 February was his actual birthday. This would have made him purely Neptunian in his star sign guidance -as not only would his Sun Sign of Pisces have the mystical urges he undoubtedly sought out- but his Karmic and Life Path would equally be guided by Neptune through the 7’s energy of The Seeker. This combination would more than likely have resulted in a complete need to always be in his inner solitude. Instead, Steiner took the world by the horns, as the dual blessings of his 27 influences so ideally describe his life’s work.

Steiner was opposed frequently for his original ideas and plans, but as one looks to the present day and continues to see the great rewards that still reap from his labors, there is plenty to back up what motivated him to bring his spiritual knowledge to the 9’s Universal place as the double influence of the 27 so denotes.

Steiner is best known today as the founder of the Waldorf Education as well as coining the term Anthroposophy. He is ultimately true to his Neptune and Mars channel as he explained Anthroposophy to be: “a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the human being to the spiritual in the universe…. Anthroposophists are those who experience, as an essential need of life, certain questions on the nature of the human being and the universe, just as one experiences hunger and thirst.” And so, this became one of the many quests that he led with fine success through his double 27 influence.

Austrian born Steiner experienced magnitudes of opposition along his path. As the 27 denotes, none were meant to stop him, even in 1919 when he was accused of being an instrument of the Jews. In a time of the first World War, he still courageously lead his ideas and was not easily thwarted by those that wished to put an end to the new philosophies he was unleashing.

Within a 4 Personal Year at this time, he had the nationalist extremists in Germany in full battle against him. But even this apparent opposition did not become an obstacle to Steiner. Challenges and the unexpected are common to surface within the 4’s Personal Year energy, yet these only tested Steiner’s tolerance. He remained steadfast to 1919’s Personal Year request to honor individuality and invention, which continued to formulate the foundation he was building within that current 9 year span of time. One thing Steiner mastered in his lifetime was not to allow his Mars’ potential to react with conflict. Rather, he choose the path of least resistance by responding with his innate leadership, equally assisted by his non- argumentative Libra Moon.

The mysteries of Lexigrams, (the poetic phrasing of the anagrams that can be derived from a word or title), once more provide the final layer of insight that affirm Steiner’s natural gifts, and grant us further clues that agree he was born upon 27 February. His Lexigrams reveal to us the tale that can be told from his full name at birth, and that once more, not only do our names have a distinct energy: they are here to guide us to how our soul can choose to live out its’ life’s purpose.
