The Vibrational Astrology Diary, Thursday, September 28, 2023
by Linda Berry
Today, Thursday (09/28/2023),the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Mars (1*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is about using logic and intuition to make decisions on your own, independent of the opinions of other people. You study all the information you can gather and use that to fuel your intuition. Then you make a decision and take the risk of implementing that decision. There is a lot of clear thinking involved but this often involves situations where there is an element of chance which means you can’t solve the problem by reasoning and must use your intuition to make the best decision you can make.

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
23 (0*) Follows One’s Personal Intuition; Takes Risks
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Mars >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are working internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively. You are moving with others towards a common goal while continuing to maintain your individual focus and perceptions, coordinating with others during the process. 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.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are being pulled this way and that way by the needs of others losing track of who you are and what you are seeking to do. You are getting swept up in the aims and promises of others and forsaking your own path to follow theirs. 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.
6 Libra = Sun [The ideals of a man abundantly crystallized] You are working internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively and/or you are being pulled this way and that way by the needs of others losing track of who you are and what you are seeking to do

22 Libra = Mars [A child giving birds a drink at a fountain] 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 and/or 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
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}
Sep 28 – Sep 30 (exact Sep 29) Venus in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 6 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:52 PM on Sept. 29 then decreasing fading out around 10 PM on Sept. 30. This vibration is very drawn to beauty and responds to it spontaneously. There is a special attraction to rhythmic beauty that is exciting and spontaneous. One example of this would be some forms of music and dance. So this is a great time to go out and enjoy yourself.
Sep 24 – Sep 29 (not exact, closest Sep 27) Venus in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Libra. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 11 AM on Sept 29. This vibration involves interacting harmoniously with others in very direct ways and engaging in direct relationship to the natural world round you. There is a desire to act in ways that bring more beauty into the world.
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 12:18 AM, peaking at 2:18 AM, the Moon in Pisces is opposing Mercury in Virgo. In this 4 hr period the emotions and moods will tend to influence the mind during this time, as well as the mind having an influence on the mood and emotions. They will tend to take turns being dominant.
Starting at 6:35 AM, peaking at 8:35 AM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you are wanting to share spontaneous exciting experiences with your friends and companions. You need the freedom to be able to impulsively do what you feel like in this moment.
Starting at 11:54 AM, peaking at 1:54 PM, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is about wanting to feel the magical awesomeness of your dreams and visions and to have these be the center of the way you are living your life. You are likely to find yourself caught up in your dreams and not very connected into the dull boring everyday reality.
Starting at 2:57 PM, peaking at 4:57 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period there is an easier connection into deeply buried feelings than at other times. There is an opportunity here to share these deep levels with your friends and to be open to them sharing their deep feelings with you. This exchange can sometimes have a healing quality and reduce the pain within you and your friends.
At 8:17 PM the Moon enters Aries. For the next 2½ days you may find you want to do your own thing, this is when it is easiest to just go out and operate and express yourself in an independent manner. This is a great time to explore something you have always wanted to look into.
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 23, the Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. At the Fall Equinox day and night are of equal length and we are moving towards the shorter days of Fall and Winter. This vibrational pattern is showing the Sun in relationship to Neptune and Pluto bringing a compulsive focus on your dreams and ideals and the potential for them to flow into realization in harmony with other people. There is a lot of mental energy with the potential to learn and develop new ideas and to try to act on your ideas and possibly get frustrated and angry if you are opposed. The desire is to bridge the gap in understanding and transmit to others what you have learned. There is also the potential for expanding your spiritual understandings during the Fall. The Sabian symbol for the Sun-Moon relationship is “Two Fairies on a Moonlit night”. You may discover two amazing, wonderful magical potentials illuminated in the darkness within you, the sensitive receptive potential and the potential to act in effective ways that bring your dreams to life, showing you that you are capable of being more than you ever dreamed of. On the flip side you may be misunderstanding what you are perceiving and getting caught up in illusion and fantasy which can result in being confused and irresponsible.
On September 22, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on September 29. This vibrational energy pattern is about acting effectively in a big way. You can sense how to present yourself and your actions so that other people will be comfortable with what you are doing. There is also a deeper level to this week before the Full Moon. If you spend some time working within yourself, there is a potential to get some new insights into who you truly are and what the gifts are that you have to share with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A False Call unheard in attention to immediate service” which involves operating out of a state of personal completion and fulfillment totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged and not letting interruptions side track you from what you need to do. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Pope” which is about sacrificing your needs in order to operate for the greater good.
On September 14, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on October 14.This vibrational energy pattern has a strong emphasis on emotional spontaneity and quick responses in the moment. There is a sense of working to realize your dreams through what you encounter in the world. There is an awareness of the community you are in and of the importance of expanding the benefits of community to all the people in the community. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Royal Coat of Arms”. This symbol points to the responsibility each of us has to pass the benefits we have received on to the people who are in need. What we have gained we have a responsibility to pass on to others, to aide, to guide and to protect those who are less fortunate than we are.
On May 5, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational pattern is expansive and seeking to understand the different ways people can understand the world. This is often done by participating in a culture that is different from your culture of origin. There is a strong need for the freedom to express yourself and to act on your feelings. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which helps you connect to the next more expansive level of awareness beyond where you currently are operating. The Moon Symbol is “A Gold Rush”. This helps you find and identify the rigid patterns within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. You can break up these rigid structures and open up to a deeper truer understanding of yourself.
On April 20 the New Moon a Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 14. This eclipse in Aries emphasizes your connection within yourself and encourages you to find a way to do what you feel called to do deep within you. There is a focus on interacting with the world and exploring whatever you are drawn to. This process can be very creative. And with this vibration it leads to taking actions based on your discoveries. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A Duck Pond and its Brood”. This is about recognizing that you are operating within a bounded, limited sphere of activity where you are inter-linked with a particular group of people. It is important to realize that you are interconnected with people in a larger realm and to realize that you need to take into account this larger realm rather than just focusing on the needs of your group.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury has left its shadow, Venus >> Turning Backward of Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Venus {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 “!!!”}
