The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
At 8:39 PM the Third Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Cancer.
Yesterday and today, Friday (10/9/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus and Mars joining with Pluto (3*). This vibration is tuning into the natural world around us and seeing the beauty in the world and working to create beauty by your actions and your relationship to the world around you. There is a sense of the importance of doing things that involve direct interaction with the natural world like growing a garden or cooking from scratch with home grown herbs or taking a hike or walking in the rain. This vibration can involve working with crafts and making beautiful things. There is a sense of passionate response here on very personal levels. Sometimes this gets focused in relationships and involves responding strongly to another person that you are attracted to. Any of the above activities would be an appropriate expression of the energy of this vibration today.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Mars, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to flow and respond to others, disciplining yourself under the guidance of an instructor, gaining self-control through continued practice. You are opening in trust to the soft loving transmission of an extremely significant, hidden pattern that is in the process of forming within you. You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats.
The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being rigid and uptight unable to relax and flow, refusing to be guided by your instructor; feeling that you already know it all and thus blocking the lessons you need. You are closing down and refusing to accept newly forming awarenesses and the gifts they may bring because of your fear and blockages.. You are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve.

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}
Oct 6 – Oct 9 (exact Oct 7) Mercury in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 10 AM. This vibration is about your mind working very quickly as you interact with others. You may have sudden insights into situations. Keep a notebook with you and write down what you become aware of. That is the only way you will remember it. No matter how clear it seems at the moment, you will likely not remember it later unless you write it down.
Oct 6 – Oct 12 (exact Oct 9) Mars in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:09 AM then decreasing fading out around 11 AM on October 12. This vibration is about a strong need to act, to express yourself whatever the consequences. You feel you’ve just got to do this.
Sep 27 – Oct 20 (exact Oct 12) Jupiter in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:07 AM on October 12 then decreasing fading out around 6 AM on October 20. This vibration is about opening up to our dreams and expanding them making them more a part of our lives.
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 12:16 AM, peaking at 2:16 AM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Virgo. This 4 hr period is a time of deep sharing where you touch each other’s souls. This is a special time to spend with friends and family.
Starting at 4:14 AM, peaking at 6:14 AM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is a shared time of impulsive spontaneous expression.
Starting at 6:03 AM, peaking at 8:03 AM, the Moon in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Scorpio. This 4 hr period has the mind and emotions in balance. This is a good time for working on an important project.
At 8:39 PM, the Moon in Cancer is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Libra. This is the Third Quarter Moon Phase. See below in the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 9:17 PM, peaking at 11:17 PM, the Moon in Cancer is opposing Jupiter in Capricorn. This 4 hr period brings feelings of optimism and expansion that you share with others.
Starting at 9:44 PM, peaking at 11:44 PM, the Moon in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is about dreaming your dreams and allowing yourself to be more in touch with what you wish your world could be like than with what it is actually like.
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.}
At 8:39 PM the Third Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Cancer. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 16. This vibrational pattern brings a sense of dissatisfaction and restlessness and a strong need to find a different way of living that will work better. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Two men placed under arrest”. This focuses on beliefs and patterns of behavior that are out of control. There may be a refusal to respect the rights of others. There may also be rebellion against societal expectations and controls to such an extent that it is necessary to restrain some people. The Moon Symbol is “A hen scratching for her chicks” which involves your embracing your responsibility to care for other and searching for more knowledge and new concepts that will enable you to fulfill these responsibilities. There is a strong push pull between anarchist forces and forces that are operating from a sense of love and caring.
On October 1 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Libra. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 16. This vibration is focused on us not knowing the answer to how things will unfold but challenging us to look at the possibilities and see what makes the most sense to develop and work hard to make that happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A canoe approaching safety through dangerous waters”. This is about beginning to move beyond the dangers of control patterns and emotional rebellion into a place of harmony within yourself. The Moon Symbol is “A man teaching new forms for old symbols” which encourages you to learn and then teach the deeper truer meanings as you are able to revise and expand your understanding of older beliefs and symbols. This is a time to move to a different understanding, to change old attitudes, symbols and beliefs.
On September 22, the Sun enters Libra. This is the Fall Equinox when the days and nights are equal. This vibration will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern calls us to look inside of ourselves and see who we really are and whether we are being true to ourselves. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Butterfly made perfect by a dart through it” which involves recognizing that your personal understanding is limited and opening up to learn and flexibly relate to others and adjust based on how they are perceiving you and what they expect of you. The Moon Symbol is “A drowning man rescued”. This is about seeking help to better ground yourself and to take responsibility for your actions, learning how to be more effective.
On September 17, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon joining in Virgo and will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 16. This Vibrational Pattern is about doing the things you feel you must do. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Boy with a censer” which is about modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed than you seeking to open yourself up and expand your awareness recognizing that you have responsibility both for yourself and for what you can do for others.
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 Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Introductory Contact for Mercury: Reworking Patterns of Mars, Uranus: Turning Forward of Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!”}
