The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Sunday (10/18/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus and Jupiter joining with Neptune (2*). This vibration is about big dreams of rich expansive beauty and love that you share with others. This is about exchange where you both are giving love to others and receiving it yourself. There is a need here to enrich the entire community. This is combined with Mercury, Venus and Neptune calling you to spend some time writing what your heart calls you to write. There is a special type of literary awareness today that will enhance the things you write making them more beautiful, more appealing. Your internal awareness calls you to put your ideas down today and share them with others. This is all built on the foundation pattern Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto which is demanding that you expand and grow in your awareness this year.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Jupiter, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to work through the emotional issues and attitudes blocking you from forming an integrated disciplined structure that can reach a goal. You are reaching a level of awareness where you can bring the gifts of the spirit into reality, even though you are not mature enough to effectively manage them all. You are participating in the transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom, recognizing that the knowledge needs to be separated from the person who is providing it. You are moving with others towards a common goal while continuing to maintain your individual focus and perceptions, coordinating with others during the process. You are being guided by hidden messages that may not be apparent to others that attune you to the spiritual realms.
The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are focusing on winning at all costs, seeing every interaction in terms of competition and winners and losers. You are getting overloaded by all the expectations for yourself that you and others have. You are claiming superior status and privileges based on your position and dogmatically insisting on your superior authority and achievements. You are getting swept up in the aims and promises of others and forsaking your own path to follow theirs. You are convincing yourself that your personal beliefs and attitudes are divine messages, fooling yourself and others, seeking to prove that you’re special and better than those around you.

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 18 – Oct 21 (exact Oct 19) Mercury in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 1 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:54 PM on October 19 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on October 21. This vibe is very impulsive. The mind is likely to dart all over the place and will have a real tendency to do its own thing rather than what it might need to do. There is a lot of quick wit here in responses to others but a real tendency to have the thoughts get scattered or jumbled.
Oct 18 – Oct 20 (exact Oct 19) Venus in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 6 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:35 AM on October 19 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on October 20. This is a very effective vibration for expanding your connections with influential people and increasing your wealth and influence. This is an effective time to reach out but you have to push yourself to do it. You may find that things feel good enough that it is hard to get up the energy to push. However, there are real opportunities there if you can make yourself reach out for them.
Oct 17 – Oct 19 (exact Oct 18) Venus in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces.
This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:49 AM 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 is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:58 AM 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.}
Starting at 4:05 AM, peaking at 6:05 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Virgo. This 4 hr period brings a feeling of love and contentment. This is a time to spend with those you are closest to. There is a sense here of one soul touching another.
Starting at 4:28 AM, peaking at 6:28 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams. You will tend to be more in the dream world than in everyday reality.
Starting at 5:39 AM, peaking at 7:39 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely
(sextile) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is expansive and optimistic. This is a time for interaction with those you care about. Take care as there is a tendency to possibly be over optimistic at this time.
Starting at 10:42 AM, peaking at 12:42 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period helps you tune into any old patterns that are interfering with you being effective. You have the potential to release them easily right now.
Starting at 3:43 PM, peaking at 5:43 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period brings an awareness of the long term consequences of your actions. You will tend to eliminate things that are not really important on a long term basis.
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
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 “!”}
