The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Wednesday (8/26/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Venus joining with Jupiter (3*). This vibration is very active both physically and mentally. There is an expansiveness here that operates first on a mental level and then on a physical level. This is combined with a sense of expansive beauty and optimism that can be a real rush but is often unrealistic. This is a great time for social gatherings and parties. This vibration really enjoys partying. This is combined with this year’s foundational vibration of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto which emphasizes growth and expansion in awareness step by step moving toward new understandings.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus and Jupiter
The message from the featured planet positions is about opening to the divine both consciously and subconsciously opening the hidden areas within you in order to find inner guidance to help you embrace your responsibilities. There are new concepts and new knowledge that you can discover if you search hard enough. This is about respecting yourself and other people, learning to relate to that which is different from you and finding the wholeness that comes from embracing all of what you are and all of what others are.
| 3 Virgo = Sun (with Jupiter) |
| Two angels bringing protection |
| You are opening to the protection of the divine, being brought to you in both the conscious and unconscious aspects of yourself, finding yourself connected with an inner sense of guidance, with people appearing to help just when you need them and/or you are feeling lost and alone, without help, losing faith in the goodness of life and perhaps expecting that others will pick up the pieces without you putting forth any effort, perhaps resisting help in order to hang onto your wounds |
| 18 Cancer = Venus (with Jupiter) |
| A hen scratching for her chicks |
| You are embracing your responsibility to care for your children, needing to open up closed areas within yourself, searching and searching for more knowledge and new concepts and really working hard to find them and/or you are looking to others to care for you and your children, failing to accept your responsibilities, blaming others for your problems |
| 18 Capricorn = Jupiter |
| The Union Jack |
| You are recognizing that protection must be based on respect for those protected, rather than as a means for controlling others and forcing them into your mold and your values and/or you are using insecurity and fear and the need for protection as a way of controlling others and having to deal with the resulting rebellions |
| 4 Virgo = Sun (with Venus) |
| A black child playing with white children |
| You are beginning to relate with that which is different from you, recognizing that there are many types of understanding, being open to the adjustments needed to embrace the equal importance of these different patterns and people and/or you are seeing everything in black and white which limits your ability to adjust and tends to keep you stuck in your personal, racial and social prejudices. |
| 19 Cancer = Venus (with Sun) |
| A priest performing a marriage ceremony |
| You are using ritual to unite with the buried other within you and form a unified pattern of wholeness including both your mind and emotions and/or you are using ritual as a superficial pattern that enables you to conform to social expectations |

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}

couple of hours either side of their peak time.}

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 25, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Sagittarius. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on September 2. This vibration is extremely energized and is about thinking and evaluating what is happening within and around you. There is the potential here to penetrate the truths that are hidden below the surface. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Two Angels bringing protection” which is about opening up and tuning into an inner sense of guidance.” The Moon Symbols is “Two men playing chess”. This points to the importance of stepping back and seeing your actions objectively, cautiously implementing the next step in the process. There is a deeper truth and understanding that can be obtained this week if you are aware.
On August 18, the New Moon occurred 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: Reworking Patterns of Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Turning Forward of Jupiter.
{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.}
