The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
At 9:16 AM EDT the Third Quarter Moon Phase begins with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Taurus.
Today, Saturday (7/31/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Saturn (1*). Today’s vibration is basically about interaction with others, being motivated to take action, but striving to do it in a way that works for other people as well as for you. There is a playful exploratory side to this energy but at core it is about analyzing what is going on between you and other people. You are seeking to understand what is going to bring the kind of long term results that you are seeking. Then you can adjust your behavior to enable you to be more effective. At core today is about analysis and revision of your interactions with others. Remember everyone else is doing this as well, being aware of that will enable you to work on change with others more effectively.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
4 (1*) Motivation & Drive
25 (1*) Exceptionally Creative, Inventive or Playful, Potential for Creative Genius 16 (1*) Internally driven Action
8 (1*) Acting on Motivations & Drives
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Saturn.
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are opening up to the light of the spirit gently nourishing you, renewing and refreshing you after a long dark night of doubt and fear where you were depressed and isolated from everything. You are beginning to work in a new realm of expanded awareness, experiencing the rhythms and patterns within and around you and being protected by being willing to work within a limited defined part of this new realm in order to develop and integrate these new understandings effectively. You are quieting your mind and surroundings, opening up to interaction and communication with the sources of inspiration within and beyond you. The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are turning away from the dawning light of a new day, holding onto difficult situations, staying caught in depression and, being unable to see answers that are right in front of you . You are branching out too far, too quickly, without enough growth and integration within you; resulting in you feeling vulnerable, exposed, and unprotected without a sense of internal balance and security. You are retreating from interaction with other people and blocking yourself off from contact with your own inner core, rejecting spiritual guidance being offered you.

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}
Jul 31 – Aug 2 (exact Aug 1) the Sun in Leo is joining with Mercury in Leo. This vibe begins to influence us around 2 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:07 AM on Aug 1 then decreasing fading out around 1 PM on Aug 2. This vibration focuses on the mind and thinking clearly and precisely. The mind is especially energized during this time period.
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 4:24 AM, peaking at 6:24 AM, the Moon in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Leo. This 4 hr period involves coordinating your feelings and your mental patterns to do the things that work for both states of consciousness.
At 9:16 AM, the Moon in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Leo. This is the Third Quarter Moon Phase. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 10:47 AM, peaking at 12:47 PM, the Moon in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period involves working with your emotions and evaluating what is worth getting upset about and what isn’t. Some things just need to be released and let go. Especially things where you won’t even remember what happened in an hour or two.
Starting at 1:41 PM, peaking at 3:41 PM, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Virgo. This 4 hr period is an important time to get together with those you are close to, especially long term relationships. This is about making soul connections.
Starting at 7:34 PM, peaking at 9:34 PM, the Moon in Taurus is joining with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is a time to be very much in the moment. You need to be flexible and able to act and respond spontaneously.
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 9:16 AM EDT the Third Quarter Moon Phase begins with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Taurus. This vibration will be influencing us until the New Moon on August 8. This vibration is helping to prepare for the Sun Opposite Saturn on August 2 bringing the Sun Mercury Saturn into emotional focus at this time. You are challenged to work on the emotional issues that may keep you from looking clearly at what is really going on in your life and in the lives of those around you. This is a call to release feeling patterns that have been blocking you from being clear and honest with yourself and others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Glass Blowers” which is about the controlled use of your energy with extreme care and attention to detail while at the same time releasing your tendency to compare your work with the work of others. The Moon Symbol is “A Christmas Tree Decorated”. This is about bringing light into the darkness and recognizing that there is hope for a better future to come.
On July 23 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Leo. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 8. This Full Moon vibration is extremely intense as it has Pluto on the Moon. There is the potential in this vibration for getting deeply involved in a different type of life experience than your own and getting new insights out off it. It is important to spend some time in the next two weeks by yourself really processing your life and your world, and also to share this with others with whom you can work on a deep level. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Epidemic of Mumps”. This refers to developing a passionate sensitiveness to everything in yourself and in the world learning how and when patterns start and how best to stop them before they start spiraling out of control. There is a warning here to not think you are the be all, end all of the world as this will be very destructive. The Moon Symbols is “An Unexpected Thunderstorm”. You may experience sudden unexpected awarenesses that can feel like they are crashing in upon your mind illuminating the hidden realms within your mind and in the world.
On July 9 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Cancer. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 8. This vibration is very intense. There are intense emotional feelings that you are likely to connect into at this time and share with others. This is combined with making connections into the natural world and seeing the light of the divine shining through everything around you. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Priest performing a Marriage Ceremony” which relates to us each having a buried other within us. We need to connect in with that other and make it a part of our essence, Put in other words we need to marry it. This enables us to form a wholeness within which includes both the mind and the emotions. The challenge in this symbol is to be willing to connect into ourselves deeply.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. This vibration will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22. There is potential for expansion and growth this summer. The summer energy contains a sense of moderation involving acting in a considerate harmonious way but there will likely be some change, some action to open up to new patterns and ways of operating. A strong Sabian Symbol for the summer is “A Fellowship Supper” which refers to reaching out to others, sharing companionably with them, forming, and renewing feelings of fellowship and bonding, breaking through feelings of alienation all for the purpose of healing your lines of connection. If you refuse to reconnect with others out of fears of facing and dealing with past issues and old secrets, you may have a sense of having lost some important part of yourself.
On June 10 a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This finishes the Eclipse Season and these patterns will be influencing us until the start of the next Eclipse Season on November 19. This Solar Eclipse is especially working on our mental patterns. It brings a focus on the mind and how your dreams and visions of life are being reflected in your experience. It is about exploring the world and interacting with what is around you in playful and creative ways. There is the potential here for discovering new relationships and connections with the people and the environment around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Cafeteria” which focuses on the abundance of choices available to you in your world and your opportunity to select which of these choices is right for you, which will nourish you and your life. When you know what is right for you then you need to deliberately select it, pay for it and make it a part of your essence. It is important that you only take what you truly need, leaving the rest for others.
On May 26 a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius. This vibration will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on June 10. This is the start of the Eclipse Season. This vibration is focused on taking action and doing the things that it is essential for you to do to express yourself authentically. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Drilling for Oil” which refers to you digging down into the ancient strata looking for that which has been formed deep within you. You recognize the pressure that these old structures generate and seek to release the energy that is bound up in these deep patterns. There is a warning not to scatter your energy in superficial pursuits that will let you avoid the deep work that is called for at this time. The Moon Symbol is “A Game of Cricket”. This refers to the process of learning the rules of interfacing with the physical and spiritual realms and following these rules so you can effectively play the game. It cautions against acting arbitrarily, refusing to play by the rules of the game and that if you do you will likely receive harsh reactions and perhaps be rejected by others.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!”}
