The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
For the last five days and today, Saturday (10/17/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter and Saturn joining with Pluto (1*). We return once more to the foundation pattern for this year. This pattern is building towards the last Jupiter-Pluto conjunction on November 12 and the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction on December 21. 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. The building towards the Jupiter Pluto Conjunction brings an intense need to expand into a more real meaningful world that cannot be stopped. This is combined with a Moon, Mercury, Uranus vibration that brings spontaneity, a feeling of history and a great deal of creativity that you can share with others.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all 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.
The most dysfunctional expression of this message: 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. 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 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 17 – Oct 19 (exact Oct 18) Venus in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces.
This vibe begins to influence us around 4 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:49 AM on October 18 then decreasing fading out around 6 AM on October 19. This vibe is about a deep attraction to certain ideals a desire to live in a world that seems bigger than life, the world of your dreams. This is a good time to share your dreams with others.
Oct 17 – Oct 19 (exact Oct 18) the Sun in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 10 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:58 AM on October 18 then decreasing fading out around 11 AM on October 19. This vibration has to do with learning to let go of things that you are attached to that you don’t really need, you just feel like you need them. This is a time for analyzing the meaning of what you are doing each day in your life.
Oct 16 – Oct 21 (exact Oct 19) Mars in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:37 AM on October 19 then decreasing fading out around 1 PM on October 21. This vibe is about taking action in a big way to accomplish the things you feel are important to accomplish. There is a lot of energy here to use to focus on your aims and goals in life
Sep 27 – Oct 20 (exact Oct 12) Jupiter in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is 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.}
At 1:05 AM the Moon enters Scorpio For the next 2 ½ days the Moon in Scorpio can tend to get very emotionally intense. The desire is to merge with the people you are involved with and with the projects you are working on. This can be uncomfortable for those not used to it as you can feel like you are being swallowed up. If it gets too much, just step back for a couple of minutes and take a breath, or even take a walk around the block to help you temporarily disconnect.
Starting at 1:37 PM, peaking at 3:37 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is extremely impulsive and unpredictable. If at all possible let your self do something spontaneously just because you feel like it.
Starting at 3:52 PM, peaking at 5:52 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is joining with Mercury in Scorpio. This 4 hr period brings an integration of the feelings and the mind. This is a great time to work on your 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 October 16 the Moon and Sun joined in Libra forming the New Moon. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on November 14-15. This New Moon is about the potential for action focused on the major pattern this year, the Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto interaction. This pattern is moving the whole world in a growth pattern of expanding our awareness growing in a controlled way into a world of greater connectedness where we recognize each person’s responsibility for themselves and your responsibility as a group to work together to build a better life for all of us. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A third wing on the left side of a butterfly”. This is about recognizing and facing our feelings of fragility as we go through changes that it is hard to understand. This is about a spiritual transformation that brings an expanded heart, greater capacity to nurture and greater sensitivity. The challenge is to be true to yourself but not to get caught in the trap of being different just for the sake of being different.
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.
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: DEGREE CHANGES: Mercury, Mars
Reworking Patterns of Mercury, 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 “!”}
