The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Saturday (7/18/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). We return once more to the foundation pattern for this year. This is the process of facing ourselves and taking the necessary steps in expanding self-awareness that will bring personal growth. There are changes that are going to happen and we can work with them or fight them, but they will come. This core energy is combining with at this time with a sense of restless dissatisfaction and a strong sense that there must be a better place, a better way of doing things. Recognize that each of us is responsible for identifying and removing the blocks within us that keep us from being the beautiful souls that we truly are in our depths. This is combined with Sun, Mercury, Uranus which brings quick possibly fragmented mental activity and possible sudden mental insights.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto
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.

| 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 |

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
2 (2*) Sharing or conflicting with others
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}
Jul 18- Aug 7 (exact Jul 27) Jupiter in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around Noon and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:06 PM on July 27 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on August 7. This vibration is especially focused on expanding your dreams through sharing with others in harmonious ways and through collaboration with like minded people.
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 10:19 PM, peaking at 12:19 AM after midnight July 19, the Moon in Cancer is joining with Mercury in Cancer. This 4 hr period brings the mind and feelings into focus together and is a great time for working on important projects.
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.}
On July 12 the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Aries. This pattern will be influencing us for a week until the next New Moon on July 20. This vibrational pattern brings a tremendous need for emotional expansion as you recognize the ways that your emotional reactions are interfering with you living based on your ideals. You are sensing that there are other ways that the world is viewed by those around you and you are being able to participate in these other patterns and being transformed by them gaining a greater understanding of others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman awaiting a sailboat” which has you removing obstacles within you to the outcomes you desire. The Moon Symbol is “The gate to the garden of desire”. This symbol points to the process of reaching out and embracing your desires recognizing that you will face various trials in the process of changing yourself enough to embrace your desires.
On July 5 the third and final eclipse in this eclipse season occurs. This is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn. The patterns of this eclipse season will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. This vibrational pattern brings a sense of learning about what other people are experiencing in their lives and being transformed by it. There are feelings of restlessness and dissatisfaction bringing a push to live in a way that honors both yourself and others to create a world that works better for all of us. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A very old man facing a vast dark space to the northeast”. This is about seeing a bigger focus that encompasses all of us and all of the universe recognizing that we are all a part of something bigger than ourselves. The Symbol for the Moon is “An ancient bas-relief carved in granite” which helps us to tune into and understand ancient truths that have been preserved and passed on to us recognizing that these ancient truths can form a solid foundation for our lives.
On June 28 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Libra. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us for the next week until the Full Moon on July 4. This vibration has a lot of things going on deep within each person where they are working on who they are and how they operate within themselves. This is very much an internal transformative pattern. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Rabbits dressed in clothes and on parade” which is about shifting to a higher level of consciousness by emulating the attributes and behaviors of those already there. The Moon Symbol is “A blazing fireplace in a deserted home”. This references a fundamental truth that the universal spirit of life and love is in all of us, but it may be way below conscious awareness where we are blocked off from it. This is about shifting ourselves so we can be open to the warmth and love of spirit that affirms the worth of each of us at core and allow that love and healing to work within us.
There was a New Moon Solar Eclipse on June 21 with the Sun and Moon in Cancer. This is the second of three eclipses in this Eclipse Season which will be influencing us until November 30. This vibrational pattern is focused on a slowly increasing awareness of the long term consequences of our behavior. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon in three parts. “A furled and an unfurled flag displayed from a vessel” shows a commitment to a new orientation or cause as you recognize who you are and what you stand for and give up old ways that do not truly represent you. “An automobile wrecked by a train” shows that we are each challenged to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves as we face extreme forces that threaten to plow us over and wreck our self-centeredness. “A man’s head” shows we are effective when we recognize our distinct special characteristics of value but do not over-value ourselves or take advantage of others.
The Sun entered Cancer on June 20. This is the Summer Solstice, one of the 4 seasonal turning points for the year. This will be influencing us for 3 months until the Fall Equinox on September 22. This vibration is about working things through in your mind and then acting on what you figure out. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “Winter Frost in the Woods”. This is about each of us having all the excess trimmed away so that we can connect in with the bare essential structure within us and connect in with our innate strength. You deal with feelings of fear and loss by connecting into the core of yourself, the spiritual center of your being. This leads to you opening yourself up to the wonder and mystery of life and developing a greater awareness of your connection with others.
The Eclipse Season started with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse that occurred on June 5 with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius. This pattern will be combined with 2 more eclipses to form a pattern that will be influencing us until November 30, 2020. This vibration pattern includes a sense of recognizing something special within yourself and supporting what the people around you are finding within themselves. There are special understandings here of what life can be like and how people can relate to each other in uniquely affirming ways. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman suffragist haranguing” which relates to how you communicate with others about the importance of the ideas you are seeking to express. Do you communicate with other people in ways that they can hear that persuade them of the importance of your ideas or do you just yell with no awareness of what or how you are communicating so that people just tune you out? The Moon Symbol is “Sea Gulls watching a ship”. This reminds us of the give and take of life, that we are responsible for acting on our own behalf to meet our needs and at the same time we need to be open to receiving from others and sharing with others that which we no longer need.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES Venus
Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, 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.}
