The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Sunday (9/20/2026), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Jupiter and Saturn (1*). This vibrational energy is making its own choices independent of the expectations of others when it cannot know the outcome for sure. It is likely to come up with a choice that is radically different from what social expectations pressure it to do. It balances essential value and expansion and seeks to find something that carries an innate beauty that relates to both of them. For VA Students (23)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by you pursuing your own interests without regard for the expectations of others setting up a safe space where you can learn who you really are.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
23 (2*) Taking the risk of following your personal Intuition.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Jupiter, Saturn >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are going out into the rugged dangerous depths of yourself, seeking to break up the rigid structures within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. You are learning to face your situation and take personal responsibility for yourself and your actions having found that rebelling and seeking to break free does not work because you can’t avoid the restrictions, limitations, and constraints of finite existence, can’t deny them and can’t explode to get out of them. You are exploring the deepest realms of your being, learning about the tremendous pressures operating within you, opening to a new level of awareness of your talents and gifts. You are realizing that you need to pay attention to the small details as well as the bigger picture and that learning involves experimentation and taking calculated risks as you seek to discover what works well together and what will generate a volatile explosive reaction.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are refusing to explore the realms that have opened up within you fearing that you can’t handle what you find. You are desperately fighting against the restrictions, limitations, and constraints of finite existence, operating in a state of denial of personal responsibility and substituting illusions for reality. You are losing touch with the reality around you as you get sucked down into your depths and overwhelmed by the pressures within you. You are always following the rules and being afraid to venture into any new territory for fear of things getting out of control.

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 11:59 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:59 AM early September 20, the Moon in Capricorn 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 6:48 AM, peaking at 8:48 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Libra. This 4 hr period involves your emotions and moods stimulating your mind and results in you needing to balance your mind and emotions in order to act in clear constructive ways. It is important for you to pay attention to your feelings and your thoughts on whatever is happening now and remember to think before you act.
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 18, the First Quarter Moon Phase was reached with the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon on September 26, 2026. This vibrational pattern brings a general sense of restlessness. There is a lot of awareness of the ways the societal organization is failing to meet the needs of the people involved. This brings a strong need to search for a better way for us to relate that will work better. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A boy with a censer” which involves you modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed than you, learning how to expand your awareness and accept responsibility for both yourself and your interactions with others. If you just go through the motions without understanding the deeper significance of what you are doing, you may experience difficulties. The Symbol for the Moon is “A flag-bearer” which is about you standing up for what you believe in as the symbolic representative of the values your community is fighting for and being prepared to sacrifice yourself for the greater cause you support. It is critical to evaluate the support you have for your ideas before you push them forward.
On September 10, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 10, 2026.This Vibrational Energy brings a pursuit of amazing out of this world ideas with passion that may border on obsession wanting your dreams and visions to come true right now. There is a sense of dissatisfaction with the “real” world around you and a restless reaching out for something different that will work better for you. You are likely to take actions that will seek to bring a different reality into your experience. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Swimming Race”. This is about learning to work through emotional issues and attitudes blocking you from forming an integrated disciplined structure that can work with others to reach a goal. The alternative is to focus on winning at all costs, seeing every intraction in terms of competition and winners and losers.
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, Jupiter: 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 “!!!”}
