The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
The peak of the Mercury Retrograde period is today when Mercury joins the Sun
Today, Sunday (7/21/19), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Uranus and Neptune (2*). This vibe is a very active energy that is focused on creativity and on sharing with others in the creative process. This tends to be playful as well as creative and to be more interested in blossoming in a natural way than in logical analysis. There is a lot of sensitivity in this vibration with a desire to express your dreams right now. This can bring forth some very interesting creative expressions. It can also manifest as impatience with not having your dreams right now today. Use that impatience to do something to make your dreams a bigger part of your life.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
15 (2*) Free-flowing evolving non-linear playful creativity
25 (2*) Extreme Focused Evolutionary Non-linear Creativity
30 (2*) Sharing harmoniously in evolving, non-linear, creative and playful interactions
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}
Jul 20 – Jul 22 (exact Jul 21) Venus in Cancer is opposing Pluto in Capricorn. This is increasing until it peaks at 4:32 AM then it decreases fading out on July 22. There is a strong sense of attraction to someone or some project under this vibration. You may feel like you are obsessed with something. You may have instances where you are perceiving overwhelming beauty that moves you to the depth of your soul. Recognize that this is a perception of something universal radiating through the person or object you are viewing.
Jul 19 – Jul 22 (exact Jul 21) the Sun in Cancer is joining with Mercury in Cancer. This vibe is increasing until it peaks at 8:34 AM decreasing until it fades out on July 22. This is the focus of the Mercury Retrograde cycle where Mercury and the Sun conjunct and the mind receives new information and new concepts from the Sun. If possible this is a good time to take a little while to be by yourself and meditate or do whatever you do to still your mind and open up to a greater wisdom. Have your notebook handy so you can write down any insights you may get.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their peak time.}
Starting at 10:06 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:06 AM, the Moon in Pisces is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period brings a feeling of expansiveness and a desire to act on it. Take care, as your actions can be exaggerated and perhaps uncomfortable for others. Be aware that you are prone to over-reactions at this time and so is everyone else.
Starting at 12:28 AM, peaking at 2:28 AM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is concerned about dealing with that which is long lasting, that which has long term meaning and purpose. There is a tendency to eliminate anything else.
Starting at 4:45 AM, peaking at 6:45 AM, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period focuses on your dreams and you may find yourself participating in your dreams or if sleeping having very vivid dreams. Have your notebook by the bed to record your dreams.
Starting at 11:18 AM, peaking at 1:18 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period digs down into your life recognizing ways that you may be being influenced by past behaviors that can distort your reactions to things here and now. Watch for these overreactions to surface and see if you can release the deeper pattern.
Starting at 12:20 PM, peaking at 2:20 PM, the Moon in Pisces is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Cancer. This 4 hr period brings a very sweet energy that is good to share with your family and friends.
Starting at 11:58 PM, peaking at 1:58 AM after Midnight tomorrow, the Moon in Pisces is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Cancer. This 4 hr period has the mind and emotions balanced. This is a good time to work on projects that require mental effort.
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.}
July 16 was a Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn. This pattern will influence us until the next Eclipse cycle begins on December 26, 2019 This completes the current Eclipse period and will be felt until the next Eclipse cycle which begins on December 26, 2019. This eclipse shows a very intense need to focus on the emotional patterns in your relationships especially evaluating their long term significance. This next 5 month period is likely to be a time of evaluation and consideration of the meaning of your life and your actions and how you want the rest of your life to go. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A dark shadow or mantle thrown suddenly over the right shoulder”. This points to you feeling something overshadowing you calling you to open up to a greater awareness and learn to assume responsibility for using that awareness wisely with humility. The Moon Symbol is “An oriental rug dealer” which points to the importance of operating fairly and being real and genuine. There is a warning here about feeling like you are entitled to special privilege and seeking to gain an advantage over others by misrepresenting yourself or your services.
July 2 was a New Moon Solar Eclipse with the Sun and Moon in Cancer. This start a new Eclipse Cycle that will influence us for about 5 months until the December 26, 2019 Solar Eclipse. There is a internalized determination carried in this eclipse to work toward making your dreams a reality in your life and in the world. This is about committed focused thought processes that continue to analyze what is happening and take the steps to bring about a better world for each of us to live in. The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon Solar Eclipse is “A clown making grimaces”. This is about stepping back and getting the objectivity that will enable you to move more effectively towards your dreams recognizing that sometimes the reactions of others to you come from their problems and issues rather than from your actions. This is about acting from your true self rather than using a façade to cover up who you really are.
The Sun officially entered Cancer and Summer began on June 21. This is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. This seasonal pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 23. The strong vibrations for this summer emphasize a sensitivity to the stories of those around us and a recognition of our responsibility for those in our communities who have more problems than we do. The base Sabian Symbol for Summer is “A furled and unfurled flag displayed from a vessel” which shows that Summer is a time for seeing more clearly who you really are. This can result in making a commitment to a new orientation or cause and giving up your old ways. If you do not connect in with the deep core of yourself you may feel unstable and very moody. The reaction we have to the challenges of this season is shown by the symbol “A big white dove, a message bearer”. This is about learning to solve your issues by receiving gentle messages from outside or inside yourself as you are opening to the spirit and becoming more clearly connected into your core. If you do not open up to these messages you may find yourself caught in a cycle of doubt and depression believing things will never improve.
The Retrograde Diary:
Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Mercury, Jupiter, 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.}
