The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (5/23/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter joining with Saturn and Pluto again (1*). This vibration represents the underlying vibrational pattern of this year. These three planets are in a dance where each of them partners with the others one at a time mapping out the underlying shape of this year. That shape is about growth in a step by step process bringing about profound change in your life and your relationships with others. This is not optional growth that you can choose or not depending on what you can handle. This is mandatory growth and change that you have no choice about. This is the type of changes that you cannot ignore. The best we have is to be thankful that we get to take this growth one step at a time rather than being dumped into the deep end when you don’t know how to swim, but make no mistake. You will get some time to learn how to swim, but you had better use it because you are going to have to swim in the deep end. There is not choice on that. This is combined with a strong feeling of the need to grow and expand in creative ways and take action based on that growth. Today we are reminded of the importance of considering the history and psychology of our current situation in order to move forward more effectively.
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.

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 23 – May 26 (exact May 25) Mars in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 1 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:48 AM on May 25 then decreasing fading out around 5 PM on May 26. This vibration is very energized and erratic. This is a very hard energy to direct even in a flowing interaction like the sextile. Give yourself freedom to act spontaneously and impulsively. Do something different that you have never done before. Above all else take care as this energy can sometimes turn violent, especially if it is repressed.
May 21 – May 23 (exact May 22) the Sun in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 10 AM. This vibration brings an awareness of the long term consequences of our actions. There is a strong sense of evaluating and emphasizing that which is really important and not putting energy into trivial things.
May 21 – May 23 (exact May 22) Mercury in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 2 AM. This vibration works with your dreams, analyzing what you can effectively do and how to do it, then taking action to bring your dreams to life.
May 16 – May 23 (exact May 20) Venus in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 11 AM. 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.
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 8:43 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:43 PM yesterday May 22, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Pisces. This 4 hr period is very energized. It is important to use this energy in constructive ways, sports, exercise, physical projects, or else this energy can back up and get frustrated and act in more destructive ways.
Starting at 9:14 PM, peaking at 11:14 PM, the Moon in Gemini is joining with Venus in Gemini. This 4 hr period brings a great deal of curiosity and a desire to explore what is going on around you. You may find yourself attracted to new different and varied things at this time.
Starting at 11:34 PM, peaking at 1:34 AM tomorrow morning May 24, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period focuses on your dreams and your disturbance that your dreams for your life seem so far away. Look closely right now and you may find a way to act to change that.
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 May 22 with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on June 21, the Summer Solstice. There is a sense of balanced growth and expansion with this moon cycle and there is a tremendous amount of creative energy that will be available for us to use over the next month. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Steps up to a lawn blooming with clover”. This encourages you to open up to the natural opportunities for growth and learning that are all around you, to open to the wonder and beauty of the world. You are cautioned that there is a real world responsibility to do the work necessary to relate to this beautiful world rather than just drifting along in a fantasy that doesn’t get you anywhere.
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 Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Reworking Patterns of Venus
{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.}
