The Vibrational Astrology Diary, Sunday, September 6, 2026
by Linda Berry

Today, Sunday (9/6/2026), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Pluto (1*). This vibrational energy is about you bein restless and dissatisfied. You feel a need to  reach out beyond the boundaries of your normal world to find something more satisfactory. You are willing to learn and study new and different things and to rework or reorganize what you find to enable it to operate more effectively than the way you found it. This is a time to try something new. For VA Students (11, 22)

This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by you setting up a safe space where you can learn who you really are as you are seeking the depths and relating on a profound level while stepping back and operating from a detached objective position.

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
11 (1*) Dissatisfaction, Restless Seeking for something better

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Pluto  >>

The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are acting adroitly and skillfully with patience and mastery to guide and direct the strong emotional patterns and instincts within you to bring about the outcome you desire. You are growing the germ of understanding that you have found into extended knowledge and a living vitality that transcends your expectations.  You are being hungry and blocked and opening up to help from a mother spirit recognizing that you need a greater awareness and strength than you have in order to penetrate through the barriers and find the nourishment you need.  You are making a deeper connection into the divine energy of light and love, healing the damage within you and within others that is the result of following distorted external patterns, becoming an experienced healer.

The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are boasting that you’re capable and in control when you know you’re not, dramatically overplaying your hand and creating a dangerous situation, disregarding the possible consequences. You are feeling insecure and keeping your focus on what you have realized, claiming it is the entire answer and not opening up to the broader truths it implies.  You are refusing help from others, seeking to do it all by yourself and gradually getting weaker and weaker.  You are making false claims of abilities and powers that you do not possess, seeking to manipulate others into believing your claims.

23 Virgo = Mercury [An animal trainer] You are acting adroitly and skillfully with patience and mastery to guide and direct the strong emotional patterns and instincts within you to bring about the outcome you desire and/or you are boasting that you’re capable and in control when you know you’re not, dramatically overplaying your hand and creating a dangerous situation, disregarding the possible consequences.

17 Cancer = Mars interacting with Mercury [The germ grows into knowledge and life] You are growing the germ of understanding that you have found into extended knowledge and a living vitality that transcends your expectations and/or you are feeling insecure and keeping your focus on what you have realized, claiming it is the entire answer and not opening up to the broader truths it implies.

18 Cancer = Mars interacting with Pluto [A hen scratching for her chicks] You are being hungry and blocked and opening up to help from a mother spirit recognizing that you need a greater awareness and strength than you have in order to penetrate through the barriers and find the nourishment you need and/or you are refusing help from others, seeking to do it all by yourself and gradually getting weaker and weaker.

4 Aquarius = Pluto [A Hindu healer] You are making a deeper connection into the divine energy of light and love, healing the damage within you and within others that is the result of following distorted external patterns, becoming an experienced healer and/or you are making false claims of abilities and powers that you do not possess, seeking to manipulate others into believing your claims.

The Two Planet Diary
{When 2 planets interact it influences the way we want to express ourselves, our attitudes, moods, and impulses. Becoming aware of these vibrations helps us to guide these aspects of ourselves with awareness rather than being controlled by them.

There are longer patterns which tend to have more impact because we feel them for several days in a row and there are quick Moon patterns that impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of the exact time of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.

Jun 11 – Oct 30 (exact Jul 25 and Sep 15) Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:26 AM on Jul 25  and at Sept 15 both during the retrograde finally fading out around 3 AM on Oct 30 This vibrational energy pattern brings a potential for shared passion and purpose. You are seeking the people who share your vision and sense of purpose and calling in order to work together.

The Moods of the Moon
{The Moon patterns only last a short period of time. They impact our moods and feelings for around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}

Starting at 6:54 AM, peaking at 8:54 AM, the Moon in Cancer is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aries. This 4 hr period is a time when you want to focus on what is really important in your life and take actions to support those things.  This could involve things like working on long-term projects or cleaning out the things that are not important.  So this is a good time to clean up something that has been bothering you.

Starting at 7:59 AM, peaking at 9:59 AM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Virgo. In this 4 hr period you will feel a lightening of your mood with your emotions flowing easily in interaction with others.  A meeting or a social gathering would be smoother and easier right now.

Starting at 1:06 PM, peaking at 3:06 PM, the Moon in Cancer is joining with Mars in Cancer. In this 4 hr period when the Moon and Mars join together the emotions get a lot of energy and there is a desire to go out and take action.  If something blocks that action there may be feelings of anger.

The Cyclic Patterns Diary {These are patterns that continue over an extended period of time and you may find that rereading this periodically will help you effectively handle what we are all experiencing as our “astral weather” in this time period.}

On September 4, the Third Quarter Moon Phase was reached with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 10, 2026. This Vibrational Energy brings a tendency to see past patterns and history as beautiful. This may bring feelings of nostalgia for the past. This is combined with an awareness of ways in which your groups are not really meeting the needs of the people in the group. This brings a tendency to be looking for ways that the group can change to better meet the needs of the people involved. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bride with her Veil snatched away” which has to do with having your concealment ripped away from you, being forced to reveal yourself and become vulnerable to transformative change, as a result of commitments to opening up and relating that you have made. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Topsy saucily asserting herself” which can represebt asserting your independence, openly expressing the deeper feelings within you, in defiance of the expectations of those around you.

On August 28, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on February 20, 2027. This Vibrational Energy carries a strong drive to take action expressing your emotional feelings. You are seeking to communicate beautifully and effectively in the moment expressing spontaneous feelings. On a deeper level you may feel the call to probe deep inside of yourself and see if you can make a connection with something that reaches beyond your personal levels of experience. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A man dreaming of fairies”. This points to learning to see the invisible and effectively penetrating into deeper and more mysterious levels of yourself and of what is around you through your imagination; reintegrating with the rejected aspects of yourself and your world. The Symbol for the Moon is “A church bazaar” which encourages you to release your customary restraints and preoccupations and gather together the many bits and pieces of yourself to form an organized structure that can operate temporarily for the benefit of others.

On August 12, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Moon and Sun in Leo. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on February 6, 2027. This vibrational energy is focused on communication of deep purpose and awareness in your own unique way. This is about moving beyond the boundaries of common society seeking something better while creatively expressing your unique vision. There is an indication here of the possible restructuring of society with new boundaries. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “Chickens Intoxicated” which is about making mistakes due to lack of experience or preparation and learning from this to step back and go more slowly; getting the proper training. There is a danger here of seeking stimulation from that which you don’t know how to handle, being thrown for a loop, staggering around as if you were drunk on the energy you have received.

On June 21, the Summer Solstice occurred with the Sun entering Cancer and the Moon in Virgo. This Energy will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a searching for a new way of experiencing life where there is a more balanced harmonious relationship between people. There is a recognition that you have to take the risk of acting based on your inner sense of what needs to be done without knowing if you will be successful. You project the outcomes of different actions but must then choose what you sense is best for you and those around you. The Sun Moon pattern of the Summer Solstice has the Sabian Symbol “A Woman and two Men on a bit of sunlit land facing south”. This encourages you to be flexible and open, seeing clearly how you can make appropriate choices to act either in the realm of Spirit and the realm of Matter as appropriate. If you are not flexible you may feel that you are being torn apart by the competing needs within you, disconnecting and isolating yourself with a devastating sense of ineptitude and estrangement from everything around you.

The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Phase of Venus: Turning Backward of Uranus: Reworking of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Forward of Pluto {During the apparent retrograde period each planet’s movement relative to the backdrop of the stars slows down, reverses and then turns back around forward again concentrating its vibration in a particular area. There are issues that each planet focuses on during the period leading up to its turn backwards. These issues are addressed again to be reworked on during the retrograde period [in brackets] then a new understanding of these issues occurs during the post retrograde period. These issues are not from Vibrational Astrology, this is an experiment based on interpretations of the Sabian Symbols that I wrote many years ago. If an entry resonates with you, then claim it, if not, release it, it was for someone else. I would very much like your feedback on this. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!!!”}
