The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Thursday (4/16/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). Jupiter Pluto is just coming out of their joining in Capricorn and Saturn is still close enough to Pluto following its joining with Pluto on Jan 12. These three planets will be engaging in a dance all of this year. This makes Jupiter Saturn Pluto the underlying theme of this year. There are other triplets that come into emphasis for short times but we always come back to Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto. They are far enough apart that they only resonate in our interactions with others and not on deeper levels. Here you have controlled growth, expansion at a measured pace as you interact with others. There is a strong need to grow here, but the wisdom to understand that you grow one step at a time and give yourself time to adjust to each step you take.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets
Today the featured planets are three underlying symbols of great impact this year.
It is important to periodically review these symbols and the lessons they have to teach us this year. This is about making a deeper connection to the stability that underlies reality as you perceive more of the fundamental truths that support this realm of time and space. You are learning the many genuine, precious, beautiful and useful things that there are within this realm. This enables you to continue in the pursuit of your life’s work despite obstacles and defeats.
| 25 Capricorn = Jupiter, Pluto |
| An oriental-rug dealer |
| You are displaying genuine, precious, beautiful, and useful products and gifts, offering them to others at a fair price and/or you are misrepresenting the value and significance of your products and gifts seeking to gain an advantage or take advantage of others |
| 1 Aquarius = Jupiter, Saturn |
| An old adobe mission |
| You are studying the shells remaining of ancient spiritual truths, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth and/or you are dogmatically pushing your beliefs on others, believing that you know the one and only true way, seeking to force other people to follow your beliefs |
| 23 Capricorn = Saturn, Pluto |
| Two awards for bravery in war |
| You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats and/or you are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve |

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}
Apr 14 – Apr 16 (exact Apr 15) the Sun in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 10 AM. This vibration brings excitement, expansion and optimism. There is a tendency to take action based an overly optimistic view of your situation and circumstances. Such action will not work out well. So despite your feelings, be careful during this time period realizing that you are not thinking realistically
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 9:29 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:29 PM yesterday, the Moon in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Gemini. This 4 hr period is a time when you can share in a deep loving way with those you care about. This is a good time to be involved with family and friends.
Starting at 11:42 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:42 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is joining with Mars in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is very energetic. This is a good time to engage in physical energy to use the energy of this vibration. Good options are exercise and sports. It is important to do something constructive with this energy.
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 was on April 14 with the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Capricorn. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on April 22. This is a very intense vibration that feels driven to act in ways that will bring more beauty and connection into the world. There is an expansive quality to this energy that embraces all people of all races and ethnicities. There is a sense of the value of each individual unique way of being human. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Game birds feathering their nests”. This is about accepting the need to focus on what you can realistically express in this time and place, releasing the rest. The Symbol for Moon is “A water sprite”, which heightens your level of sensitiveness to subtle energies bringing wonder and delight and allowing you to make better contact with both the spiritual and elemental realms.
The Full Moon was on April 7 with the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on April 22. There is a focus here on internal awareness where you are by yourself and then moving from that internal focus to taking action based on balance and proportion in loving ways that benefit us all. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The magic carpet” which calls us to detach from our immediate experience and get an overview of the broader pattern in which we are operating as a part of the whole. The Symbol for the Moon is “A gang of robbers in hiding” which has to do with you facing the hidden aspects of yourself which are distorting your actions and perceptions and robbing you of your energy. You are challenged to face these patterns and heal them.
The New Moon was on March 24 with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This pattern will be influencing us for a month until the next New Moon on April 22. This is a time of sensitivity and a search for balance and proportion. This is a pattern of seeking to find the truth and the path that brings the best long-term results with the sense that one must to act in a big expansive way. There is a sense that there is something special that you can find working with others that will address the current situation. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A triangle with wings” which calls you to open up to a sense of integrated wholeness where your connection to spirit will provide inspiration, guidance and energy.
The Spring Equinox was on March 19 at 11:45 PM. This is the official beginning of Spring, the time when the Sun enters Aries. There is a sense of restlessness in this vibration as if what you are experiencing is not enough and there is something more that you can almost sense that is happening on some other level. This is almost a sense of something spiritual that you are seeking to identify. There are two symbols that are relevant to the Spring Equinox. The first is the Moon Symbol, “A train entering a tunnel” which gives you a shortcut through the obstacles around you by going through a dark tunnel. I think this describes where we all are right now. The second symbol is for Saturn, “A secret business conference”. This is about tuning into a deeper level of what is happening in this time period, opening up to what is really going on beyond the appearances. This is about tuning into the hidden realities of the world. Having these symbols on the Spring Equinox indicates the potential for a break through during the Spring where we can more clearly see what is going on.
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 Retrograde Diary: Check out changes today: DEGREE CHANGES: Jupiter
Introductory Contact for Jupiter, Neptune: Turning Backward of Saturn, Pluto: Final Resolution of Uranus
{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.}
