Saturday, December 4, 2021 – Solar Eclipse

The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

At 2:43 AM EST a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius.
Today, Saturday (12/4/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Moon joining with Mercury (2*). Today is the Solar Eclipse with Mercury joining with the Sun and Moon. This echoes the pattern at the third quarter moon when Mercury joined with the Sun and Moon. This brings a strong emphasis on thinking about what is going on for us emotionally, including examining the history of our experiences seeking to straighten out any misunderstandings that are generating destructive emotional reactions. This pattern is both interactive and creative and brings the potential for some changes in how we handle our emotions. This is the start of a new cycle and perhaps it will bring a reexamination of many ideas we have been holding without real evaluation of the validity of those ideas.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are being open to the opportunity to experience love overwhelming the ego, calling on you to refine and alter yourself through compassion and greater insight. You are facing your past actions, destructiveness, and blindness and taking responsibility for them, work on the distorted patterns within you , make amends, and forgive yourself and others so you can make a new beginning.  You are becoming aware of the give and take of life, with you being responsible to act on your own behalf to meet your needs while being open to receiving from others, releasing what you no longer need to meet the needs of others. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are maintaining your barriers and defenses for fear of pain or rejecting relationship for fear of losing your independence or being too shy and insecure to take the initiative to personally relate to others. You are getting caught up in past mistakes, guilt and blame; refusing to change, to forgive or to forget.  You are getting caught up in a cycle of dependence where you perceive yourself as powerless and unable to meet your needs, feeling that you must be subservient to those who have what you need.

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}

Dec 4 – Dec 7 (exact Dec 6) Mars in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 7 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:08 PM on Dec 6 then decreasing fading out around 6 PM on Dec 7. This vibration involves sharing with others the deep wounds you carry inside you and opening up to the deep wounds of those around you. There is a recognition that these wounds need to be healed so that they do not bring over-reactions that can cause further damage.

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.}

At 2:43 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is joining with the Sun in Sagittarius. This is the New Moon Solar Eclipse.  See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 5:43 AM, peaking at 7:43 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is joining with Mercury in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period brings a process of evaluating the emotional patterns one is experiencing, possibly revising unprofitable patterns.

Starting at 1:22 PM, peaking at 3:22 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a need to act on your dreams and make your life more the life you dream of having.

Starting at 10:08 PM, peaking at 12:08 AM early December 5, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is about interacting with others in optimistic and expansive ways working to expand one’s connections with others.

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 2:43 AM EST a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This is the final event of this eclipse season.  It will be influencing us at least until the start of the next Eclipse Season on April 30, 2022. There is a special emphasis in this Eclipse on evaluating the patterns we are living by. It is especially important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the ways that we have been understanding the world. There is a restlessness and a need to move out and find a different world that will work more effectively and be more satisfactory. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Widow’s Past brought to Light”. This is about facing your past actions, the destructiveness, and blindness that you have been involved in and taking responsibility for them. The emphasis is on working on the distorted patterns within you, making amends, and forgiving yourself and others so that you can make a new beginning.

On November 19, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus opposing the Sun in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 30, 2022. This Vibrational Pattern involves the Sun and Moon especially strongly interacting with Mercury. This shows that emotional patterns and history will be very important during this next 5 months. There is a focus on creating programs, concepts that are acceptable to everybody involved. There is also an awareness of the needs of people and how they are or are not being met. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The King of the Fairies approaching his Domain” which points to the importance of understanding your true essence, the domain within the core of your being where you’re truly and confidently in command of yourself. If you are not in touch with the core of your being you may try to use control to prove your superiority.  The Moon Symbol is “A Woman pursued by Mature Romance”. This is about participating in a mature type of love that involves a greater awareness of your interconnectivity to others. There is a warning to not closing down to love because you are being guided by social expectations of what love means and what types of love are permissible.

On November 4, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse, on December 4. This vibrational pattern brings the potential for tremendous creativity involving ideas that just appear in your mind that are new and innovative. This is a time to pay attention to the things that pop into your mind and write them down in a notebook. They will seem obvious when they appear but you will be likely to find they fade away if you don’t write them down. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and the Moon is “An Inventor Experimenting”. This is about trying different ways of expressing the unique gifts you have. You are encouraged to move beyond established structures but to use careful observation and analysis to develop your ideas.

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.

The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Introductory Contact for Venus: Reworking of Uranus: Turning Forward of Neptune: Resolution 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 “!”}
