The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Wednesday (6/17/2026), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon and Venus joining with Pluto (3*). This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about reaching out to interact with the world around you making connections and changing the ways different things you are interested in are linked together. You are drawn to the beauty of items or concepts with a long history behind them. You are going to be interested in rethinking the meaning of these long term associations. For VA Students (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by you going on an adventure where you are looking into the far distance and seeking something amazing pursuing your own interests without regard for the expectations of others exploring with curiosity what you are attracted to in the world around you

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Venus, Pluto >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are standing at the edge of a precipice with no way to turn back, recognizing that the rigid positions you have been holding onto have trapped you and that you have been ignoring the dangers of those positions, and so you decide to look for a way to let go and open up constructively. You are being aware of yourself as an integrated whole with three points of focus, spirit, masculine and feminine centers that give you the potential to move to any destination you choose.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are putting yourself in danger of falling over the edge of the precipice because of desperately holding onto your current patterns; being unwilling to change even when you feel the ground eroding beneath your feet. You are feeling disconnected from your wholeness and unable to respond to life with flexibility.

5 Aries = Pluto [A triangle with wings] You are being aware of yourself as an integrated whole with three points of focus, spirit, masculine and feminine centers that give you the potential to move to any destination you choose and/or you are feeling disconnected from your wholeness and unable to respond to life with flexibility
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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
Jun 16 – Jun 18 (exact Jun 17) Venus in Leo is opposing Pluto in Aquarius. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:38 PM on Jun 17 then it is decreasing fading out around 12 PM on Jun 18. This vibrational energy pattern brings the eruption of feelings of attraction to beauty that are intense and possibly irrational. Recognize that these feelings will pass as the energy clears, so take care to not make life changing decisions during this transit.
Jun 16 – Jun 17 (exact Jun 16) Venus in Leo is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 9 PM on Jun 17. This vibrational energy pattern brings the need to create a flow of beautiful ideals in your exchanges with others.
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 then it is decreasing 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 1:40 AM, peaking at 3:40 AM, the Moon in Cancer is joining with Jupiter in Cancer. This 4 hr period brings a time when you will feel emotionally expansive and want to share with others in a big way. Enjoy this lovely expansive energy. If something unpleasant happens take care to not overreact.
At 8:05 AM the Moon enters Leo and for 2 ½ days it brings a feeling of wanting to develop and express yourself as a unique individual not necessarily in a broad sweeping dramatic fashion. You will also enjoy the unique individual expressions of others around you.
Starting at 11:00 AM, peaking at 1:00 PM, the Moon in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Gemini. 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 1:08 PM, peaking at 3:08 PM, the Moon in Leo is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Aries. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams, they are living inside you and you are feeling them. You may find yourself daydreaming more than usual. You can use this time to get deeply in touch with your dreams and draw inspiration from them to help you make them more real.
Starting at 2:28 PM, peaking at 4:28 PM, the Moon in Leo is joining with Venus in Leo. This 4 hr period should bring some really good feelings and a focus on loving caring relationships where you treasure each person for the unique individual they are.
Starting at 2:29 PM, peaking at 4:29 PM, the Moon in Leo is opposing Pluto in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period you may connect into deep, even ancient feelings, within you if something another person does triggers you. Be aware of this potential and if it happens study what comes up and work on releasing it. If you respond directly to the other person, you are likely to over-react. This can be a powerful wave of energy that washes over you. You may need to walk away from the situation to keep from dumping this old energy on another person.
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 June 14, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Gemini. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the Next New Moon on July 14, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings an intense perhaps compulsive focus on the beauty of your dreams. You are encouraged to open up to alternative possibilities, ways to experience your dreams that you never considered before. There is a sense of restlessly reaching out and seeking something that has been beyond your reach. You are encouraged to make new patterns including concepts that you were previously excluding. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Man trimming Palms” which is about working to guide the tumultuous growth within you in order to develop a beautiful, healthy structure. This means honestly facing what is healthy and what is twisted and distorted within you and in your approach to life. This is the time to clear out the blocked and twisted patterns and encourage the growth of the healthy patterns.
On March 20, the Spring/Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us at least until the Summer/Winter Solstice on June 21, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is especially focused on finding ways to share your sense of life with other people. There is a strong desire to support good positive connections to society and to seek to communicate your sense of how to live in society in a way that works for everyone. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon relationship at the Spring Equinox is “A Pugilist entering the Ring” which is about having a strong sense of yourself as a person who is willing to stand up for yourself and fight for what you know and believe in no matter what the opposition. If you fail to effectively defend your point of view you will have to deal with the consequences.
On March 3, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse, on August 28, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse, on August 28, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about stepping back and seeing the big picture. There may be a lot of emotional activity connected with this eclipse. There is also the potential for exceptional communication that can be very effective. This pattern shows that there is a potential to act out of your personal concepts without taking other people into account. There are hidden things going on that have the potential to be revealed and cause a big shift in understanding. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Sword in a Museum”. This presents a choice. You can lay aside the use of force to gain your ends and embrace love and peace, both within yourself and in your interactions with others. Or you can hold grudges and be ready to fight others at any sign of opposition. Or you can give up in defeat and feel worthless and useless. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Strong Hand supplanting Political Hysteria”. Here the power of your personality and your spiritual awareness is acting to calm the situation down. Alternatively, you are being too timid and afraid to take action, losing the opportunity to gain control; or using your power and energy to manipulate the reactions of others for your personal gain.
On February 17, the Solar Eclipse (a New Moon) occurred with the Moon and Sun in Aquarius. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse, on August 12, 2026.This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a sudden unexpected change that surprises everyone. The energy is focused on internal evaluation of the patterns that you are seeing around you with you seeing what changes are needed to reestablish a flow within the social structure. There is the capacity here to take the actions that will bring about that change. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “Butterfly emerging from Chrysalis”. This speaks of emerging from a long period of suspended confinement within a transformative cocoon. You are discovering that you have experienced a complete metamorphosis of your personal self in this time period. The key is to open up to new and different experiences and not hold onto the old limited form.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury, Uranus >> Introductory Period of Mercury, Saturn, Uranus: Turning Backward of 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 “!!!”}
