The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
For the last 2 days and today, Saturday (10/9/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Mars (19*). Today’s vibrational pattern is concerned with basic interactions and needs and the process of freely flowing internal energy. This vibration is focused on your mental patterns and working to figure out what is going on and how things work. There is a strong desire here to figure out something that you don’t currently understand. You can use your time today to investigate some mystery that you need to resolve. Perhaps just go to the library and investigate something that you have always wondered about. Or share with others an idea that you find intriguing and be open to ideas that others may want to share with you or join you in investigating. Learn something new.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
7 (11*) Quiet, introverted, meditative, observant, forming own internal reality.
26 (6*) Moves Beyond Average or Mediocre in interactions with others
8 (5*) Acting on Motivations & Drives
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Mars
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are breaking free of previously safe, secure patterns that have been blocking your growth, building more effective structures in their place. You are digging deep into the patterns, history and traditions of the past to find the forces that are controlling current beliefs and behaviors, forces that are hidden deep below the surface; evaluating the true relevance of those ancient patterns in the present; being willing to revise those patterns as appropriate. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are focusing on the damage and devastation in your life, feeling torn apart and overwhelmed, not knowing what to do. You are holding onto old patterns, behaviors and rituals as being the only tried and true mode of operation, even when those patterns are harmful to 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 9 – Oct 10 (exact Oct 9) Mercury in Libra is joining with Mars in Libra. This vibe begins to influence us around 6 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:48 PM on Oct 9 then decreasing fading out around 8 AM on Oct 10. This vibration puts a lot of energy into the mind and brings an openness to new concepts.
Oct 9 – Oct 10 (exact Oct 9) the Sun in Libra is joining with Mercury in Libra. This vibe begins to influence us around 2 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:18 PM on Oct 9 then decreasing fading out around 11:30 PM on Oct 9. This vibration brings clear mental patterns. You just think well during this vibration. It is short because Mercury is moving at its fastest. This is the conjunction of Mercury while Mercury is direct.
Oct 5 – Oct 11 (exact Oct 8) the Sun in Libra is joining with Mars in Libra. This vibe is 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.
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 9:04 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:04 PM yesterday, the Moon in Scorpio is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This 4 hr period needs to expand and make connections with additional people. This is an optimistic expansive vibration.
Starting at 12:05 AM, peaking at 2:05 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period has you sharing old deep pains with other people usually ones that you are close with. This sharing can sometimes release old patterns so that they no longer trigger you.
At 11:24 AM, the Moon enters Sagittarius. The Moon in Sagittarius brings exuberant feelings and a desire to explore your external world and your internal world. This 2 ½ days is a great time to explore someplace you have never been or to learn something new that you have been wondering about.
Starting at 1:36 PM, peaking at 3:36 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is joining with Venus in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period brings a sense of soul connection that you will want to share with those that you have known for a long time and those you are closest with.
Starting at 8:43 PM, peaking at 10:43 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is about evaluation of how you are operating and figuring out what is of long term importance to you and how you need to change your behavior to build your 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 October 6, the Sun and Moon joined together for the New Moon in Libra. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on November 4. This vibrational pattern is very volatile. It initiates a month of intense action and shift. There is a need here for a way of being in the moment and sensing the cycles that are unfolding. The call is to action and the way through is to move into new patterns of behavior. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Noon Siesta”. This points out the importance of some time taken to evaluate things, to pull away and reflect and refresh yourself so that you can operate more effectively. If you do not pull back some, you are likely going to lose all objectivity and get tangled up and stuck.
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 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 “!”}
