The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Tuesday (10/5/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Venus and Mars (1*). Today’s vibrational pattern involves three of the personal planets in our charts. There is a strong desire today to make the world more beautiful. This is about making beautiful things, especially things that are composed of natural materials. This might be an actual art project or working with a craft that you enjoy such as woodworking, knitting or crocheting. There is kind of a feeling of imbalance, perhaps something missing around you that you can work on today to make this better. One appropriate way to express this energy would be to work in your garden, if you have one. Another would be to address something that has been bothering you in your home and see about making it prettier. Open yourself up to what seems to call you and see about changing some aspect of your world in a positive way.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
16 (2*) Internally driven Action
1 (1*) Doing things your own way, evaluating the ideas of others and only changing if you agree with them
25 (1*) Exceptionally Creative, Inventive or Playful, Potential for Creative Genius
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus, Mars
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are spontaneously enjoying a playful focus in the present in delight and wonder, finding great creativity unfolding in your life. You are approaching an understanding of your true essence, the domain within the core of your being, where you’re truly and confidently in command of yourself and your world. You are taking some time out to relax and rest giving yourself time to reflect and process so that you can continue refreshed and be operating more effectively. You are recognizing the importance and worth of all the newly developing beings of awareness, including yourself, that have not yet mastered the spiritual realm, learning to see past the surface, recognizing that problem behaviors come from immaturity. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in daydreaming and rejecting any type of serious responsible behavior or, at the opposite pole, rejecting any type of frivolous, light, impractical behavior. You are being out of touch with the core of yourself and feeling insecure which results in you seeking to control others to prove your superiority. You are getting so caught up and entangled in your affairs that you’re losing any sense of objectivity. You are demanding strict rigid patterns of behavior that inhibit growth and creativity from yourself and others.

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 5 – Oct 11 (exact Oct 8) the Sun in Libra is joining with Mars in Libra. This vibe begins to influence us around 12 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:01 AM on Oct 8 then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Oct 11. This vibration is about taking action and accomplishing things. It is especially focused in relationships and working to make relationships be more effective. There is so much energy here that it would be possible for one or both people to lose control. You and your friends and partners need to agree to disconnect for a while until you can cool down if you get over excited.
Oct 2 – Oct 5 (exact Oct 3) Mercury in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This vibe decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Oct 5. This vibration brings a clear and easy perception of the big picture. There is more ability right now to step back and really perceive how everything is working in the patterns you are experiencing around you.
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quicker Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a short window of time around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 2:46 AM, peaking at 4:46 AM, the Moon in Virgo is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Scorpio. This 4 hr period is a good time to spend with your long term friends and your family. This is a time to express your love and devotion.
At 8:41 AM the Moon enters Libra. The Moon in Libra for the next 2 ½ days will tend to focus on the nature of your interactions with others. The Libran Moon wants to relate to others as equals and to respect others and to be respected by those around you. Encouraging this type of interaction will be beneficial to everyone.
Starting at 6:15 PM, peaking at 8:15 PM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period brings a time of internal analysis especially focused on your relationships with others and whether you are acting in ways that will help you to achieve your long term goals.
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 September 28, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer square the Sun in Libra. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 6. This vibe both embraces the need to accomplish things and the need for expanded social connections and understandings. There is a focus on the importance and deep unique essence of each person and on the importance of listening to and understanding the experience of others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Woman feeding Chickens and protecting them from the hawks”. This is about nurturing and protective spiritual forces that embrace each of us. It points to the responsibility of each of us to nurture and protect those less aware and less developed than ourselves, helping them grow and then stepping back to give them space to truly become who they are. The Moon Symbols is “Two Fairies on a Moonlit Night” which brings awareness of the hidden natural forces operating around us as we shift our vision to see what is normally invisible. There is a potential here for experiencing and participating with unseen forces that can bring a strong sense of fulfillment.
The Fall Equinox occurred on September 22 as the Sun entered Libra with the Moon in Aries. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This vibrational pattern has a strong emphasis on the way the past is affecting us. There is the potential to get a broader understanding of how we are being influenced by the past and the potential for sudden insights and shifts to occur. There is a need to reconcile the past with the present and to face the way we have been being influenced by past patterns. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “The Gate to the Garden of Desire” which is about getting up the courage to move into a new state even though you don’t know what dangers and revelations you may have to face. There is a danger in withdrawing that you will never be able to reach your dreams.
On September 20, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Pisces opposing the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 6. Venus and Uranus are interacting with the Full Moon bringing the potential for you to encounter sudden beauty that really resonates with you. There is a sense of the beauty and importance and uniqueness of every person and the need to make a world where people are responsible and respected and cared for when they experience excessive difficultly. There is also a sense that we can’t know all the answers and there is a mystery that is operating in the midst of all this. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Man gaining Secret Knowledge from a Paper he is reading”. This shows the potential for achieving a new level of awareness through studying secret or hidden information. The Moon Symbol is “A Prism” which shows the splitting of the divine into many facets, one for each of us and helps us to celebrate the beauty of the whole and the beauty of the many parts of the whole.
On September 6 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon joining in Virgo. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 6, 2021. There is a strong need in this vibration to be genuinely yourself and to follow your dreams. This is combined with a strong awareness of community and an awareness of your interactions in community. It is especially important in this vibration cycle to work harmoniously with others in a sensitive caring way. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An Ornamental Handkerchief” which reminds us that we carry the patterns of our history within us as talismans that can guide us to be more aware and sensitive helping us to be connected to our better impulses. You are challenged here to be who you genuinely are and warned about pretending to be something you are not.
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: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury
Reworking of Mercury, Uranus, Neptune: Turning Forward 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 “!”}
