The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (8/22/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter and Saturn joining with Pluto (0*). 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.
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.
| 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 |

| 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 |

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}
Aug 20 – Aug 28 (exact Aug 24) Mars in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:19 PM on August 24 then decreasing fading out around 5 PM on August 28. This vibration is about seeing what needs to be done and going out and doing it. It doesn’t matter if it is interesting work or grunt work, you just go do it. You are focused on accomplishing your goals.
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 2:25 AM, peaking at 4:25 AM, the Moon in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Venus in Cancer. This 4 hr period has to do with your feelings about the things you are attracted to whether a person or a painting or the woods or whatever. This vibration is about acting on your attractions
Starting at 8:45 AM, peaking at 10:45 AM, the Moon in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is about emotional expansion and social experiences. This is a good time to share with others socially.
Starting at 4:34 PM, peaking at 6:34 PM, the Moon in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period digs deep into us encouraging us to face the patterns buried within us that may be interfering with our reactions to life in the here and now.
Starting at 9:35 PM, peaking at 11:35 PM, the Moon in Libra is opposing Mars in Aries.This 4 hr period is very energized with excess energy that needs to be used. Do sports or exercise or a physical project to use up some of that energy. If you get frustrated walk away from whatever is frustrating you until you calm down. There is potential here for overreaction.
Starting at 10:20 PM, peaking at 12:20 AM after midnight on August 23, the Moon in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period brings an analysis of your own behaviors seeing which behaviors are in line with your long term purpose and goals and which are brief emotional expressions that do not really matter and may keep you from reaching your goals. There is a need to eliminate the latter from your life.
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 August 18, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and the Moon in Cancer. This
Vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 17.
This vibration is about really thinking and evaluating what is going on inside you and around you. There is the potential here for a deep analysis that will recognize what things need to be laid aside in order for a rebirth or transformation to occur. If we move beyond our egos into a more universal spiritually based understanding then we will know what to do. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and the Moon is “Daybreak”. This is about experiencing the light of the divine beginning to shine through you, showing your true potential, replacing your ego as the source of yourself. This happens as you open your intuition and clearly see the pattern within you and around you.
The Eclipse Season was from June 4 through July 5 and the patterns of this season will be in effect at least until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. The Eclipses begin by helping us to recognize that there is something special within each of us and that it is important for each of us to communicate our ideas clearly recognizing that there is a give and take to life as we share with each other. It then reminded us that we need to be adaptable and realize that we are being called to a new orientation to life. Each of us need to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves to more effectively respond to the demands of ourselves and our world. We need to develop a bigger focus that encompasses all of the universe recognizing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves while at the same time being open to ancient truths that may contain wisdom that will help us to be more aware and more effective.
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 Retrograde Diary: No DEGREE CHANGES today
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto
{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.}
