The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
A Special Happening at the Full Moon: There is an energy of spiritual transmutation at the Full Moon this month. If you can take some time to meditate or just sit and look at the Full Moon on Monday evening, September 24 for a few minutes centered around 10:52 PM EDT, it could be life changing.
The strongest vibrational pattern today (9/23/18) comes from the Moon interaction with Saturn and Neptune (1*). The focus today is on our feelings. What really feels true and right to us? What resonates with and stimulates and inner feeling of purpose and meaning? This is a good day to play around with different ideas and see which ones really fit. You have a deep core within you and the trick is to get in touch with it and be able to express it. Some times you need to experiment with different approaches and ways to doing things and the vibration today is especially focused on feeling things out and coming up with new and different expressions of yourself seeking to find what feels best. That makes this a good day for brainstorming, either you just letting your mind think of any outlandish thing it can come up with and writing them all down before you evaluate which ones you really want to try, or you could do this in a group related to problems you need to solve. So let yourself enjoy this opportunity to explore.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
29 (1*) Transformation through immersion in new and different patterns or lifestyles
The Dancing 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}
Sept. 23 – 24 (exact Sept. 23) Mercury in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Aquarius reaching an exact aspect at 9:29 PM. This vibration starts about 6 AM today and fades out tomorrow and it is focused on the mind, energizing it and helping it to learn new things. This is a great time to study something that you need to figure out. This can also show as anger if your intentions are blocked by others.
Sept. 23 – 24 (exact Sept. 23) Mercury in Libra is acting and conflicting (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. This vibration increases in strength until 12:46 PM and then slowly decreases fading from awareness tomorrow. This is our minds trying to balance things out and relate to everyone respectfully while being aware that some things are more important and long-lasting than others and wanting to eliminate superficial interactions that do not have long lasting meaning and purpose.
July 2 – Oct. 19 (exact Sept. 26) Uranus in Taurus is quiet and focused (septile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This pattern is increasing in strength until Sept. 26 calling for focused or disciplined spontaneity. You may be feeling you are lacking spontaneity in your life and find yourself forcing yourself to be spontaneous. This is not easy and may generate some tension inside you. Any focused and spontaneous activity will help use and release this energy. Some examples are dance, group sports, tai chi, or martial arts. Also, a massage might help release built up tension.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their listed time.}
In a two hour window around 12:22 AM the Moon in Pisces is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Scorpio. This is a very nice gentle vibration that may make for special interactions or very nice relaxation and sleep. Around 1:22 PM the Moon joins with Neptune in Pisces. This is focused on your dreams and ideals and you may find yourself being distracted and having trouble focusing on details during this time. You are not entirely connected to the real world right now so wait to make any decisions until this passes. Finally around 9:24 PM the Moon in Pisces shares freely (sextiles) with Pluto in Capricorn. This is a time of emotional intensity when you may find yourself dwelling on things from the past and realizing how to let go of old emotional patterns that no longer apply.
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.}
The Fall Equinox was on Sept. 22. This is when the Sun enters Libra and day and night are of equal length. This is the transition into the half of the year when the nights are longer than the days. The Fall Equinox pattern will continue to influence us until the Winter Solstice on Dec. 21. This Fall there is a focus on interacting in a focused way with others in teams with common goals. There is also a desire to be guided in your actions by someone you respect who serves as a teacher or coach. You will tend to be very mentally sensitive and responsive and torn between your sense of responsibility and your desire to express yourself in your own way. The Sabian symbol for the Moon is “A cross lying on rocks”. This is about true awakening and the painful process of transcending the barriers within you that block that awakening. In the process of awakening you may feel like your life is ending if you do not realize that this is a transition phase into a greater awareness that will come as you disconnect from the beliefs that are blocking your awakening.
The First Quarter Moon was on Sept. 16 with the Moon in Sagittarius squaring the Sun in Virgo. It will impact us over the next week until the Full Moon on Sept. 24. This is when we step back and evaluate how our lives are unfolding as we experience the unfolding of the pattern that was begun at the New Moon seeking to make corrections and clear out obstacles in our paths. This quarter moon is especially focused on finding creative solutions that balance growth and responsibility while moving into expression of the dreams we have for how our lives can be seeking to attract that which we love, that which is beautiful, that which stirs our souls and brings a sense of rightness. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is “A flag at half-mast” and the Sabian symbol for the Moon is “A chubby boy on a hobby horse”. The challenge is to move beyond absorption with yourself and respond to the needs of others rather than focusing on your sense of your own self-importance and ignoring the impact your actions are having on others while you are involved in repetitive acts of self-serving indulgence operating impulsively without thought of the actual consequences of your actions.
The New Moon occurred on Sept 9 with the Moon joining the Sun in Virgo. It will continue to influence us until the next New Moon on Oct. 8. This New Moon is about a sensitivity to others and what their lives are like, being dissatisfied with the ways we are relating to each other and seeking a way to recognize and respond the the special essence of each person. The Sabian Symbol is “An Ouija Board” which reminds us to always check our deepest intuitions and separate positive guidance from negative impulses inside of us so we can take responsibility for ourselves and our impact on others and not get caught up in the easy answers that superstition and prejudice provide.
The overview of the Current Eclipse Cycle of 3 Eclipses between July 12 and August 11. {We will be feeling the vibrational effect of the current eclipse cycle at least until the start of the next cycle on January 6, 2019. The following is the summary of the guidance from the Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}
Express your gifts as a natural outflow of who you are without feeling that you deserve special treatment. Your reactions to situations may come from problems in your past that have not been resolved with the current situation just being a trigger. You can receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and from your ancestors helping you tune into ancient wisdom and understand how it can be effective in addressing the problems you face today. This will allow you to relax into an easy flow of interaction with other people where you are accepting other people and they are accepting you. Open up to your higher universal awareness and connections and let it guide you.
The Retrograde Diary
(Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) reworking patterns, (Saturn) turning forward, (Mars, Jupiter) in Final Resolution
{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.}
Mercury Next Cycle: {Oct 28 [Nov 16 – Dec 6] Dec 28}
Mars: {May 13 [June 27 – Aug 27] Oct. 8}
Sept. 22 – 25: (3-4 Aqu) Resolution: Remember to seek or become an experienced healer as you attempt to heal the damage that has come from following distorted external patterns, while learning to stop making false claims of abilities and powers that you do not possess seeking to manipulate others into believing your claims
Jupiter {Dec. 12, 2017 [Mar. 10 – July 10] Oct. 6}
Sept. 19 – 24: (20-21 Sco) Resolution: Remember to find yourself trapped in rigid patterns of duty and obligation that you can no longer tolerate and maintain your personal integrity so you stop operating within these previously binding structures, realizing that you need to stop allowing duty and obligation to others to define you so that you are doing what is expected of you without evaluation
Saturn {Jan. 10 [Apr. 17 – Sept. 6] Dec. 12}
Aug. 13 – Sept. 30: (3-2 Cap) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to open to new growth in areas where there has been misuse of authority, learning to stop refusing to grow and holding onto abusive patterns and misunderstandings
Uranus {Apr. 20 [Aug. 7 – Jan. 6, 2019] Apr. 23, 2019}
Sept. 14 – Oct. 12: (2-1 Tau) Reworking: Working on being able to accept being struck with inspiration like a lightning bolt charging, challenging and perhaps shocking you into greater awareness breaking through your barriers, learning to stop being so deeply disturbed and shocked that you are closing down further and further and building strong thick walls within you to protect yourself from becoming more aware
Neptune {Feb. 6 [June 18 – Nov. 25] Mar. 15, 2019}
Sept. 10 – Oct. 22: (15-14 Pis) Reworking: Working on being able to rehearse and prepare for possible future difficulties and attacks being on your guard with a strong sense of your strength and authority while being relaxed at the same time, learning to prepare for possible future problems but not constantly worry about them, being fearful and overreacting and losing touch with the joy of life
Pluto {Dec. 31, 2017 [Apr. 22 – Sept. 30] Jan. 21, 2019}
Aug. 29 – Nov. 1: (19-18 Cap) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to reach a level of awareness where you can bring the gifts of the spirit into reality even though you are not mature enough to effectively manage them all, learning to stop getting overloaded by all the expectations of yourself that you and others have
