The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Tuesday (4/28/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Neptune (1*). We are returning today to the underlying theme of this year. It is about a strong need to grow and expand, but enough constraint and wisdom to do it step by step, taking time to integrate each step before you go to the next one. These experiences may happen in interaction with others or within your individual experience. However, in the later case, interactions with others may stimulate the internal growth process. Take some time to evaluate where you are versus where you want to be. Are you open to facing the unknown as each of us must if we are going to grow and change? We cannot know what we have not experienced yet. Growth is a step-by-step process, a wonderful journey of discovery with some rough spots along the way, but we have each other to help us on our path.
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.

| An oriental-rug dealer |

| 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 28 – Apr 29 (exact Apr 28) Mercury in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe begins to influence us around 3 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:28 PM then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on April 29. This vibe is very analytical and tends to act based on that analysis. The focus is on what is really of long-term significance. There will be a tendency to act to remove trivial unconsequential things.
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 12:08 AM, peaking at 2:08 AM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is very impulsive and likely to get caught in the moment. There is a need for freedom to do what you feel like without restrictions.
Starting at 3:38 AM, peaking at 5:38 AM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings emotional balance and the ability to interact very effectively.
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 April 22 with the Sun and the Moon in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us for a month until the next New Moon on May 22. This vibration is very impulsive and electric, seeking to shift and reorganize the foundation on which we build our lives. Things may feel unstable this month. There is a desire to find or discover something unique or special, perhaps a special understanding of your current life experiences and to share that discovery with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and the Moon is “The rainbow’s pot of gold”. This encourages us to open up and reach out to embrace that which is calling you, perhaps a spiritual vision and to follow the path of greater awareness. There is a warning that personal addictions and self-centered preoccupation could close you off and block your personal growth and expansion.
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:
Introductory Contact for Jupiter, Neptune: Turning Backward of Saturn, Neptune, 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.}
