The Vibrational Astrology Diary, Saturday, October 16, 2021
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (10/16/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Jupiter (0*). Today’s vibrational pattern is not overpowering. Whether you feel it or not will relate to how closely it matches your chart’s vibrations. There is a flow here where you can see how to act in big ways if you are so inclined. You will probably be more effective if you can work harmoniously with some other people today. Other potential vibrations could wake up and feed your creativity if you tend to be a creative person. There is some encouragement for going out and acting in the world in ways that will effectively meet your needs. Mostly just listen to what is inside of you and follow your inner promptings.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
8 (1*) Acting on Motivations & Drives
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Sun, Mars, Jupiter
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are seeing fundamental truths with their camouflage removed, recognizing that life transcends the apparent reality of life and death. You are drawing from the fountain of spiritual nourishment, replenishing yourself and generously sharing with those around you who are not able to obtain it for themselves. You are opening yourself up to new responses that have not seemed natural to you in the past, finding new modes of self-expression. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are focusing on the ephemeral cyclical processes of life and death and believing that that is all that there is. You are holding onto the nourishment and sustenance you obtain, refusing to share with others unless you get personal recognition or sharing too much without receiving anything from those with whom you share, becoming drained and burned out. You are sacrificing a true sense of yourself to please those around you.

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 couple of hours either side of the time given. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
Oct 16 – Oct 18 (exact Oct 17) the Sun in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 8 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:12 AM on Oct 17 then decreasing fading out around 8 AM on Oct 18. This vibration brings a need to connect in with your mission in life and seek to align with it better. Watch what you do today and what people say to you. There may be a message for you coming in an unexpected way.
Oct 16 – Oct 17 (exact Oct 16) Mercury in Libra is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Sagittarius. This vibe begins to influence us around 5 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:23 P then decreasing fading out around 4 PM on Oct 17. This vibration brings literary ability. It may enhance your ability to speak clearly and to perhaps write something very effective. You can take advantage of this to do some very effective communication.
Oct 14 – Oct 16 (exact Oct 15) the Sun in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 8 AM. This vibration brings a sense of expansiveness and optimism. You want to reach out and interact with other people. There is an impetus to grow and expand.
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quicker Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a short window of time around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 2:59 PM, peaking at 4:59 PM, the Moon in Pisces is acting and agitating (square) with Venus in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period brings a need to spend time with those that you are closest to, the ones who feed your spirit and help you renew.
Starting at 9:14 PM, peaking at 11:14 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is about sharing something new and exciting with other people. This is a time to listen to and give yourself permission to follow your intuition.
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 October 12, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on October 20. This vibrational pattern has some contradictory impulses in it. On the surface it is strongly energized by Mars which brings a drive to go out and accomplish things. However, on a deeper level there will likely be a tendency to pull back and go deeply inside oneself doing internal processing seeking to figure out how you fit into the world and even, seeking to figure out what kinds of patterns are manifesting at present. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Crowd upon the Beach” which encourages you to celebrate the beauty of all aspects of life and embrace renewal and revitalization on a very basic level. The Moon Symbol is “A Relay Race”. This serves to remind us that we cannot accomplish our goals by ourselves. It encourages us to ally with other people so we can reach a common goal together.
On October 6, the Sun and Moon joined together for the New Moon in Libra. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on November 4. This vibrational pattern is very volatile. It initiates a month of intense action and shift. There is a need here for a way of being in the moment and sensing the cycles that are unfolding. The call is to action and the way through is to move into new patterns of behavior. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Noon Siesta”. This points out the importance of some time taken to evaluate things, to pull away and reflect and refresh yourself so that you can operate more effectively. If you do not pull back some, you are likely going to lose all objectivity and get tangled up and stuck.
The Fall Equinox occurred on September 22 as the Sun entered Libra with the Moon in Aries. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This vibrational pattern has a strong emphasis on the way the past is affecting us. There is the potential to get a broader understanding of how we are being influenced by the past and the potential for sudden insights and shifts to occur. There is a need to reconcile the past with the present and to face the way we have been being influenced by past patterns. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “The Gate to the Garden of Desire” which is about getting up the courage to move into a new state even though you don’t know what dangers and revelations you may have to face. There is a danger in withdrawing that you will never be able to reach your dreams.
On June 10 a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This finishes the Eclipse Season and these patterns will be influencing us until the start of the next Eclipse Season on November 19. This Solar Eclipse is especially working on our mental patterns. It brings a focus on the mind and how your dreams and visions of life are being reflected in your experience. It is about exploring the world and interacting with what is around you in playful and creative ways. There is the potential here for discovering new relationships and connections with the people and the environment around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Cafeteria” which focuses on the abundance of choices available to you in your world and your opportunity to select which of these choices is right for you, which will nourish you and your life. When you know what is right for you then you need to deliberately select it, pay for it and make it a part of your essence. It is important that you only take what you truly need, leaving the rest for others.
On May 26 a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius. This vibration will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on June 10. This is the start of the Eclipse Season. This vibration is focused on taking action and doing the things that it is essential for you to do to express yourself authentically. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Drilling for Oil” which refers to you digging down into the ancient strata looking for that which has been formed deep within you. You recognize the pressure that these old structures generate and seek to release the energy that is bound up in these deep patterns. There is a warning not to scatter your energy in superficial pursuits that will let you avoid the deep work that is called for at this time. The Moon Symbol is “A Game of Cricket”. This refers to the process of learning the rules of interfacing with the physical and spiritual realms and following these rules so you can effectively play the game. It cautions against acting arbitrarily, refusing to play by the rules of the game and that if you do you will likely receive harsh reactions and perhaps be rejected by others.
The Retrograde Diary: no DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Reworking of Uranus: Turning Forward of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, 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 “!”}
