The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Sunday (5/17/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Mars and Jupiter (3*). This vibration is a very creative interactive focus. You can make big beautiful things under this vibration. You can take ideas that you have had in your head and make them into real parts of the world around you. And we are not just talking about little things, we are talking about having the leverage to make big changes through taking action with others. There is a sense of creative flow here from the Sun, combined with Venus and Jupiter (1*) and there is also the measured progressive movement of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto that forms a foundation for today’s action. Be open to opportunities today for you to make a change and advance your goals.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets
Today’s Symbols begin with opening up to all the different patterns and awarenesses of life figuring out how they interact in a cooperative flowing environment. You then find that there are areas of blockage within and around you where there is a narrow path through the blockage that allows you to enter into more profound levels of spiritual awareness and recognize the spiritual messages that are all around you. Your challenge is recognize the limitations of your current experiences and begin to humbly sort the true messages out of the surrounding noise and chaos.
| 22 Gemini = Venus |
| A barn dance |
| You are experiencing all the different patterns and awarenesses of life, beginning to mix & match them in interactions that compare & contrast them all in a cooperative experimental way and/or you are pulling back from life, sitting on the edges, and watching the interactions around you; feeling isolated and resentful |
| 4 Pisces = Mars |
| Heavy traffic on a narrow isthmus |
| You are patiently exploring the limitations to your ability to communicate freely and easily, finding your way through the blockages within, using narrow channels of true expression that you’re building that enable you to move through the blockage and/or you are frantically bouncing from one limitation to another, not slowing down enough to even recognize the reactive patterns in which you’re trapped |
| 28 Capricorn = Jupiter |
| A large aviary |
| You are entering into more profound levels of spiritual awareness, recognizing the spiritual messages in all that is around you, seeking to sort true messages from the surrounding noise as you recognize the limitations of your current experiences and/or you are being caught up in much busyness without any sense of organization within a confined space; pretending you’re free |

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}
May 16 – May 23 (exact May 20) Venus in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7:02 PM on May 20 then decreasing fading out around 11 AM on May 23. This vibration deals with what you are attracting to you and how well it matches up with your dreams and ideals. This is a time to examine any beliefs you may have that interfere with your life being what you want it to be. Get that cleared up and you can take action on your dreams.
May 16 – May 18 (exact May 17) the Sun in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 1 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:40 PM on May 17 then decreasing fading out around 1 PM on May 18. This vibration picks up right after the Sun passes Pluto, so we get to go deep and concentrate and then we get to expand as a result of that deep intense work. This is about growing in an organic way into an objective perspective that enables effective growth and expansion.
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 1:13 AM, peaking at 3:13 AM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings a balanced emotional pattern where you feel comfortable with yourself and the world around you.
Starting at 1:59 AM, peaking at 3:59 AM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is expansive and optimistic. This is a good time for social interaction.
At 9:36 AM the Moon enters Aries. For the next 2½ days you may find you want to do your own thing, this is when it is easiest to just go out and operate and express yourself in an independent manner. This is a great time to explore something you have always wanted to look into.
Starting at 11:29 AM, peaking at 1:29 PM, the Moon in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period has you focused on what is important long term and what kind of purpose you are expressing in your life. You may be inclined to eliminate things that are not in line with your long term purpose and sense of responsibility.
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 May 14 with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Aquarius. This pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 22. This vibrational pattern is about creative action based on things you are working on inside yourself with you being able to manifest in a smooth easy way the things you are working on. There is a strong sense of the importance of growing and expanding. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A large well kept public park” which emphasizes the importance of working in cooperation with others to order and organize the wilderness forming an orderly space that everyone can safely share. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed.” This points to the importance of transforming your assertive impulses and placing them at the service of a greater awareness. It calls you to keep your emotions in balance and be guided by a deeper intuitive awareness.
On May 7 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This will be influencing us for the next two weeks until the New Moon on May 22 This vibration has a focus on using your mind and shows some possibility for unexpected things to happen. There is a strong desire for pleasant harmonious interactions with others and the ability for things to just flow together and manifest. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman holding a bag out of a window” which is about exposing yourself to the divine spirit and opening to it cleansing your psyche. The Moon Symbol is “A woods rich in autumn coloring”. This has to do with getting in touch with the flame of spirit within you and letting it shine unclouded and clear. There are warning here about dysfunctional behavior if you hold onto the blocked, destructive patterns within you and refuse to let them go. This can result in you losing things that are important and significant in your life.
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 Uranus: Turning Backward of Venus, Jupiter, 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.}
