The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 11:50 AM EDT on October 10, the New Moon occurs with the Moon and Sun in Libra.
Today, Saturday (10/10/2026), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Jupiter and Neptune (1*). This vibrational energy is focused inside you on working with others to support their internal exploration into who they are at core. You are taking big actions to support the dreams of those around you. For VA Students (26)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by you exploring with curiosity whatever you are attracted to in the world around you while relating to others as equals with everyone having equal responsibility as you are going on an adventure where you are looking into the far distance and seeking something amazing.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
19 (1*) Internal Pattern recognition and analysis of conceptual frameworks which may be shared with others
26 (1*) Helping others connect with and express their true essence
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Neptune >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are tearing down the status quo, bringing a more chaotic, undifferentiated state that is a fertile ground for change. You are listening, responding to your inner guidance, aligning with the flow and unfolding of your path through life. You are connecting into your cultural inheritance letting it shape you, recognizing that this enables you to effectively express yourself within the context of the world around you.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are reactively trying to hold onto an old crumbling pattern of operation, fearing change and instability. You are being oblivious to the messages around you, failing to take in the signs of you losing your direction and showing a complete lack of common sense. You are getting swallowed up by your cultural pattern, becoming a caricature of your racial or cultural stereotypes.

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}.
Oct 9 – Oct 11 (exact Oct 10) Venus in Scorpio is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Leo. This energy begins to influence us around 2 PM on Oct 9 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:31 PM on Oct 10 then it is decreasing fading out around 9 PM on Oct 11. This vibrational energy pattern is about taking actions that change the world around you so that it contains more beauty. This can be about making something beautiful or sharing something beautiful 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 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 9:54 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:54 PM yesterday, the Moon in Libra is opposing Saturn in Aries. In this 4 hr period you are dealing with that which is especially significant or fundamental in your relationships with others. This is especially about evaluating whether your interactions are working to build your life in a way that supports and leads to your long-term goals. You can see clearly now what you need to change to accomplish your goals.
At 11:50 AM, the Moon in Libra is joining with the Sun in Libra. This is the New Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 5:07 PM, peaking at 7:07 PM, the Moon in Libra is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Leo. This 4 hr period brings a sense of emotional expansion and optimism and a desire to reach out and interact with others socially.
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.}
At 11:50 AM EDT on October 10, the New Moon occurs with the Moon and Sun in Libra. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on November 9, 2026. This vibrational pattern brings changes in your compulsive need to achieve your goals as you reach a change in your understanding of what has been happening around you. You may see more clearly what the essence is that has been hidden from you. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Two Men placed under arrest” is about you stopping operation as usual where you realize that both your ego and your subconscious have been operating in ways that are harmful to other people and to yourself. You are challenged to face any ways in which you have been refusing to respect the rights of others and rebelling against personal and societal expectation and controls.
On September 22, the Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Libra. This Energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2026. This vibrational pattern brings the potential for a rebirth of vision, hope and dreams as we reconnect to the concepts that are important to us. This calls us to first turn inward and connect more strongly with the true essence of who we are and then to work with those around us on removing the blocks and barriers to truly forming an affirming supportive community. The Sabian Symbol for the Fall Equinox is “Sunshine just after a storm” which encourages us to recognize that there is hope beyond the storm that we are facing at present. We need to learn to embrace the present moment and respond to it whatever it demands.
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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Phase of Mercury, Jupiter: Turning Backward of Uranus: Reworking of Venus, 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 “!!!”}
