The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry

Today (10/11/18) the strongest vibration influencing us comes from the Sun joining with Venus and Mars (0*).  There is an inner sense of beauty that is triggered here. You may find yourself thinking about how to make the world around you more beautiful.  And you are ready to go do the things you come up with.  You may even find yourself suddenly straightening something out for a while when you didn’t even realize you were going to do that.  This is a great day to design something beautiful and create it using your favorite craft or art.  Or go to your garden and work with the plants.  This day is a bit of a break from some of the recent demands and those to show up in the coming days, so enjoy.
 
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
32 (2*) Deeply internalized thoughts that are not seen by others but drive action
16 (1*) Internally focused thought
 
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}
Oct 11 – Oct 12 (exact Oct 12) The Sun in Libra is active and perhaps agitated (square)  with Pluto in Capricorn.  This energy begins at the very start of the day right after midnight and increases in strength and influence all day until it peaks right after midnight tonight at 12:11 AM.  You may find yourself digging down deep inside yourself to find the origins of some of your habitual problems.  There is a real possibility to become aware of and change some things that have been creating problems for you.  Be aware that if you start to get upset about something, you can step back and look at where it is coming from.  The current situation may only be a trigger for a deeper wound that you can heal.
 
Oct 11 – Oct 12 (exact Oct 12) Mercury in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Capricorn.  This energy begins to be felt about 1 PM and is increasing in strength until tomorrow morning when it peaks at 4:20 AM.  Your mind is going to be inclined to be analytical working on figuring out what is of real significance and discarding that which is trivial or temporary.  This is a good time to do any evaluative work that you have been putting off.
 
Oct 9 – Oct 11 (exact Oct 10) Mercury in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus.  This vibration fades out around 5 AM.  This brings a lot of mental activity bringing sudden unexpected insights.  The mind may tend to jump from one thing to another which can show connections between things that you don’t normally perceive.  There can be sudden inspirations so keep your notebook handy to write down your thoughts before you lose track of them as your mind jumps to something else.
 
Oct 9 – Oct 12 (exact Oct 10) Venus in Scorpio is active (square) with Mars in Aquarius. This vibration is decreasing in influence over the course of the day today and fades out about 8 AM tomorrow.  This brings a desire to experience beauty in our lives.  We want to do things that make our lives more real where we are more in touch with ourselves and the world around us.  This is a great time to take a celebratory walk in the rain, or work in your garden, or reorganize the patio or some area in your house that has been bothering you.  You can also cook a special meal with fresh, maybe home grown herbs.  Discover and express the beauty of the world around you.
 
July 2 – Oct. 19 (exact Sept. 26) Uranus in Taurus is quiet and focused (septile) with Pluto in Capricorn.  This pattern is slowly decreasing in strength until Oct. 19 when it fades away.  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 the 4 hour window beginning at 11:12 PM yesterday evening and peaking at 1:12 AM today, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely with Neptune in Pisces.  This likely can bring a very sweet dreamy feeling to the evening.  This is a nice time for doing something imaginative or sharing time with a special someone.  It is not a good time to be making decisions about your life.  Just relax and enjoy.  A few hours later starting at 7:32 AM, peaking at 9:23 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely with Pluto in Capricorn.  This is a time when you may be aware of the past intruding on the present, but it is more likely to be a trip down memory lane than to be disruptive.  It is fairly easy to recognize what belongs to the present and what belongs to the past and to respond appropriately in the here and now. After another break of a few hours starting around 5:12 PM, peaking at 7:12 PM,  the Moon and Jupiter join together in Scorpio.  This brings a nice pleasant emotional feeling to the evening, just keep in mind that your feelings may be a bit bigger than life as you have big emotional responses to whatever triggers you.  Keep focused on what is good in your life and what you are grateful for and this should be very enjoyable.
 
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 New Moon was on Oct. 8 and it will be influencing us until the next New Moon on Nov. 7.  This New Moon‘s strongest vibration is 19.  This is focused on objective analysis of the patterns that are happening in the society the people live in contrasting those with the patterns and principles of other societies being able to see both the good and bad points of each and seeking to figure out the best ways of operating.  The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A boat landing washed away”.  This relates to breaking fee of previously safe and secure patterns that have been blocking your awareness and your growth.  You are seeking to build more structures in your life that will work better.  There is an awareness of a lot of damage and devastation as you experience things being torn apart and you can either focus on building something better or be devastated and overwhelmed by the lost and disaster.
 
The Fall Equinox was on Sept. 22 and will be a vibrational influence in our lives until the Winter Solstice on Dec. 21.  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 once you disconnect from the beliefs that are blocking your awakening.
 
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
(Venus) turning backward, (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) reworking patterns, (Saturn) turning forward
{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.}
 
Venus: {Sept 3 [Oct 5 – Nov 16] Dec 18} 25 Libra – 10 Scorpio
Sept. 28 – Oct. 12:  (10-11 Sco) Turning Back:  The Issue is to find yourself in over your head and admit it, accepting help in order to learn to better ground yourself and taking responsibility for learning to be more effective
 
Saturn {Jan. 10 [Apr. 17 – Sept. 6] Dec. 12} 2 – 9 Capricorn
Sept. 30 – Oct. 19:  (3-4 Cap) Resolution:  Remember to join with others in a group effort (or work through internal conflicts) to accomplish a common goal with each person contributing his or her skills and energy, learning to stop bickering with others, refusing to carry your share or having others refuse to do their part and dumping it all on you
 
Uranus {Apr. 20 [Aug. 7 – Jan. 6, 2019] Apr. 23, 2019} 28 Aries – 2 Taurus
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} 13 – 16 Pisces
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} 18 – 21 Capricorn
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
 
Mercury Next Cycle: {Oct 28 [Nov 17 – Dec 6] Dec 24} 27 Scorpio – 13 Sagittarius
 
Mars Next Cycle: {Jul 25, 2020 [Sept 20 – Nov 13] Jan 3, 2021} 15 – 28 Aries
 
Jupiter Next Cycle: {Jan 12, 2019 [Apr 11 – Aug 11] Nov 5} 14 – 24 Sagittarius
