The Vibrational Astrology Diary
The First Quarter Moon
by Linda Berry
Today (11/15/18) the Sun joins with Venus and Neptune (2*) in the strongest vibrational influence we will be feeling. There is a tendency to operate today on a more idealized level today. It is as if a type of idealized beautiful uniqueness is radiating from the people around you and you are more aware of the precious uniqueness of each person. This is a really important time to express your appreciation for the beauty and awareness and unique gifts of the people you interact with and especially to think about your friends and family and let them know how you feel. If you find yourself thinking about certain people today and how you appreciate them, then give them a call and let them know how special they are to you. This will help you open up to your own specialness as well and embrace that which is within you. You can seek to make this a very special day for yourself and those you especially admire and respect.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
30 (5*) Sharing harmoniously in evolving, non-linear, creative and playful interactions
26 (4*) Need to be special or do special things with others
13 (3*) Need to be special or do special things
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}
At 5:21 PM Mars enters Pisces. Here Mars is focused on connecting everything together even things that may appear to be completely unrelated to each other. There is a sense here of how everything affects everything else and every action needs to be focused on the greatest good for all people
Nov 13 – Nov 16 (exact Nov 15) Mars in Aquarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Aries. This vibration is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:31 AM after which this vibe begins to decrease in impact. You may find yourself acting in impulsive spontaneous ways over this time period that may or may not be in sync with the people around you. Everyone is going to be feeling impulsive and spontaneous so proposing something different and unexpected may be met with approval by your friends or family. Be aware that you need to take a moment or two to evaluate where you are about to jump. This vibration has a tendency to jump first and deal with where you land afterwards. This needs to be watched out for as you might end up jumping off a cliff and realizing it as you fall. There is a lot of fun in this impulsive vibration as long as there is a little bit of care taken watching out for the cliffs.
Nov 13 – Nov 19 (closest, not exact Nov. 16) Mercury in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibration is increasing in strength until Nov 16 when these two planets start separating from each other. These two planets approach an exact square but Mercury retrogrades before they reach it. We will see this pattern returning even stronger in the end of December. This vibration brings a tendency to get caught up in your dreams and visions and have your thinking processes clouded as you loosen your connection to the current reality focusing more on how you wish life was and perhaps you may tend to react with others as if your dreams were the reality. Everyone is experiencing this, but since our dreams are different each person will tend to be operating in a different reality. This can lead to disconnects between people and misunderstandings. Being aware of this tendency in yourself and in others will enable you to recognize that you are hearing dreams, not reality. This is not a good time to make long term decisions, sign contracts, etc.
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.}
Starting at 7:54 AM, peaking at 9:54 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating with the Sun in Scorpio. This is the first quarter Moon Phase and it will be discussed in the Cyclic patterns below. Starting at 12:05 PM, peaking at 2:05 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Libra. This is a lovely time of the month when very comfortable emotional feelings are present. This is a great time to spend with your friends or loved ones. Starting at 8:58 PM, peaking at 10:58 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Aries. Now is the time to do something impulsive and spontaneous. Don’t plan it, just on the spur of the moment do what you feel like this evening. At 11:41 PM the Moon enters Pisces bringing a sense of the connections we all have with each other and with everything around us. A Pisces moon is very good at connection things together that don’t look like they belong together, so use this 2 ½ days to reach out and connect with those that you thought you could never establish a relationship with, right now it might work.
Later in the Evening: Starting at 10:02 PM tonight, peaking at 12:02 AM tomorrow morning, right after midnight, the Moon and Mars are joining together in Pisces. You may experience some intense volatile feeling during this time. If you can do something active, it will give you a place to direct this energy. Be aware that you may tend to overreact during this vibration. Starting at 1:10 AM late tonight after midnight, peaking at 3:10 AM tomorrow, the Moon in Pisces is acting and agitating with Jupiter in Sagittarius. This picks up before the previous vibration fades out and has some similarity. It is not quite as volatile, but we are still dealing with big emotional reactions, possibly overreactions. Staying in a positive frame of reference and refusing to let your emotions be in control could make this a good time for some outwardly focused activity. This is not a good night for close personal relations.
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 first Quarter Moon is at 9:54 AM this morning when the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Scorpio. This vibration emphasizes sharing with others freely and creatively in a changing organic and evolving way with the emphasis being on what is really important and long lasting. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is “Crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one man”. This is about learning to bounce your ideas off of the thoughts and ideas of an influential person in order to sharpen your focus and ability to evaluate what is really practical and effective. It is important that the awarenesses and answers you have are important and not get caught up in feeling that you have to listen to someone else to get your answers where you open yourself to being manipulated by them. The Moon symbol is “A man turning his back on his passions and teaching from his experience. Here you are learning to release inappropriate attachments and help others do the same. The danger here is about becoming insensitive to others.
The New Moon was on November 7 with the Sun and Moon joining together in Scorpio. This New Moon is about our dreams and ideals and how well they match with what is actually happening in our lives. There is a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction that people are feeling and sharing with each other and a strong need to move to a different experience of life from our present one. The Sabian Symbol for the the New Moon is “A girl’s face breaking into a smile”. This has to do with the needs and desires we each have within us and whether we accept and embrace them welcoming the integration of the many aspects of ourselves, or whether we are alienated from ourselves and just pretending to be ok.
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:
Turning Backward of Mercury: Reworking Patterns of Uranus: Turning Forward of Venus, Neptune: Final Resolution of Saturn, 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.}
Mercury: {Oct 28 [Nov 17 – Dec 6] Dec 24} 27 Scorpio – 13 Sagittarius
Nov. 14 – 19: (13-14 Sag) Turning Back: The Issue is to look at the very long term consequences of your actions where the positive and constructive structures you build outlive your errors and faults, learning to stop getting caught in the present moment blinded by your personal needs and mistakes and not seeing the long term consequences of your actions
Venus: {Sept 3 [Oct 5 – Nov 16] Dec 18} 25 Libra – 10 Scorpio
Nov. 10 – 22: (26-25 Lib) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to learn to balance power and love using each to temper the other developing a deeply grounded connection that is open to both the emotional and spiritual realms, learning to stop reacting inconsistently and unpredictably pushing others away from you finding yourself out of control fluctuating between power and love
Saturn {Jan. 10 [Apr. 17 – Sept. 6] Dec. 12} 2 – 9 Capricorn
Nov. 12 – 23: (6-7 Cap) Resolution: Remember to realize the potential to misuse power based on deep hidden internal motives as you begin to understand the true nature of power and how to use it responsibly, learning to stop being caught up in your own power and charisma and using lies and deceptive statements to increase your influence and power
Uranus {Apr. 20 [Aug. 7 – Jan. 6, 2019] Apr. 23, 2019} 28 Aries – 2 Taurus
Nov. 6 – Dec. 6, 2018: (30-29 Ari) Reworking: Working on being able to recognize that you operate within a bounded, limited sphere of activity inter-linked with a particular group of people within a greater realm, learning to stop defining your immediate sphere (the duck pond) as all that is important and becoming provincially focused on the needs of your small group.
Neptune {Feb. 6 [June 18 – Nov. 25] Mar. 15, 2019} 13 – 16 Pisces
Oct. 22 – Dec. 27, 2018: (14-13 Pis) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to radiate grace, beauty, and intelligence as you experience the presence of a deeply receptive awareness within you that contains an expanded awareness of, love for, and respect of all of the manifestations of life, learning to stop getting caught up in the superficial trappings of elegance without developing a truly elegant internal awareness
Pluto {Dec. 31, 2017 [Apr. 22 – Sept. 30] Jan. 21, 2019} 18 – 21 Capricorn
Nov. 1 – Dec. 13, 2018: (19-20 Cap) Resolution: Remember to be guided by hidden messages that may not be apparent to others that attune you to the spiritual realms, learning to stop fooling yourself and others as you rationalize your personal beliefs and attitudes as being divine messages that make you special and better than those around you
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
