The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Tuesday (2/18/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Jupiter and Uranus (1*). This vibration is very sensitive to the stories, the issues, the problems of those around you. There is a sense of walking in the other person’s shoes. The expansive spontaneous character of this vibration will help you to come up with new and unusual ways to help out those around you. There is also a sense of joyous excitement today which makes this a good day to be involved socially with others. Just be aware that you can be overly optimistic under this vibration, so avoid making contractual decisions until later.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets
Today’s theme begins with an awareness of the past and how it is expressing in our modern world, showing that protection of others must be based on respect for them as you follow the path of expanding awareness.

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 11:57 PM the Sun enters Pisces bringing a sense of the connections we all have with each other and with everything around us. A Pisces Sun is very good at connection things together that don’t look like they belong together, so use this month to reach out and connect with those that you thought you could never establish a relationship with, right now it might work.
Feb 14 – Feb 26 (exact Feb 20) Jupiter in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:57 AM on February 20 then decreasing fading out around 8 PM on February 26. This vibration is focused in smooth flowing expansion through working on materializing your dreams. This is about having a feeling of living a magical life full of the wondrous things that touch your spirit. This is a time to move more deeply into the life you feel called to.
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 2:03 AM, peaking at 4:03 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Aquarius. This 4 hr period has the emotional patterns in balance interacting easily with your environment and the people around you. This clears the way for you to be very effective right now.
At 5:37 AM the Moon enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation is appropriate, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
Starting at 6:16 AM, peaking at 8:16 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Mars in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is very energized with you prone to choose a physical response to your emotional feelings. If you direct this energy into physical activity like exercise or sports or physical projects, then this should work very well for you.
Starting at 9:45 AM, peaking at 11:45 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is very independent and impulsive. There is a spontaneousness here that needs to be double checked for a second before you spontaneously jump into a hole that you didn’t see.
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 Third Quarter Moon Phase was on February 15 with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Aquarius. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us for about a week until the New Moon on February 23. This vibe relates to the importance of focusing on that which has long-term significance and seeking to expand your viewpoint so that you are guided by this awareness. You are seeking something special and feel restless and dissatisfied pushed to continue searching. This is combined with a creative impulse that may let you conceive of and action in new and different ways. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An ancient pottery bowl filled with violets” which points to the importance of building the structures of your life on a solid foundation grounded in the past. The Moon Symbol is “A military band on the march”. This involves combining your assertive efforts with others establishing yourself as a presence to be reckoned with. So this points to acting to make a difference that is significant in building a future that is good for all of us.
The Full Moon was on February 9 with the Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo. This vibration will be influencing us for the next two weeks until the next New Moon on February 23. This vibration is about seeking something special in a creative harmonious flowing interaction with those around you. This is both about pursuing your dreams and about sharing in loving expansive ways with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman disappointed and disillusioned”. This raises the issue of whether you are true to yourself or swallowed up in the needs of others. You are encouraged to refocus on a true expression of yourself and your potentials. The Symbol for the Moon is “Chickens intoxicated” which warns of mistakes made through a lack of experience and preparation. It encourages you to step back, go more slowly and get the training you need.
On January 24 the Moon and Sun joined together for the New Moon in Aquarius. This vibration will be affecting us until the next New Moon on February 23. This New Moon is especially oriented toward awareness of the needs and stories of others. There is some tendency to go your own way and do the things that make sense in your particular way of looking at life. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and Moon is “A council of ancestors”. This is about tuning into ancient wisdom and using it to address the problems of today. It is important to evaluate what of the ancient wisdom actually applies today and to proceed accordingly.
This Eclipse Season was from December 26 through January 10. This vibrational pattern will be in effect until June 5, 2020. This is about mobilizing the resources of yourself and your group to stand up for your principles and being willing to deal with or use focused assertive/aggressive energy if necessary to reach your goal. There is a warning that if you engage in threats and arguments and bickering, it will keep you from reaching your goals. There is a strong emphasis on mental evaluation and analysis of the long-term consequences of the actions we are taking right now. Remember that it is important to ally yourself with others in order to accomplish our goals. That you will likely be defeated it you refuse to work with other people being unable to trust anything beyond yourself. It is important to operate on a positive level involves unselfconsciously displaying yourself expressing your gifts with humility and delight. The challenge is to not come from a place of entitlement and self inflation.
The Winter Solstice was on December 21 as the Sun entered Capricorn. This is the shortest day and longest night of the year as the Sun turns in its orbit to start increasing its light shining upon us. This winter season brings a great potential for creativity and sensitivity. There is also a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction with what is happening in your life and around you. The challenge is to use your creativity to make your world and your life better. You are encouraged this winter to open up to your ties to the universal awareness that is at the heart of all things and experience an exaltation and consummation that transcends ambition letting of your focus on yourself that brings a tendency to overestimate your personal powers and abilities resulting in damage to yourself. For the winter there is a focus on the Sabian Symbol “Dental Work” which can help you to return your structure to its proper functional form as you rebuild your internal pattern.
The Retrograde Diary:
Introductory Contact for Saturn, Pluto: Turning Backward of Mercury: Final Resolution of Uranus, Neptune
{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.}
