The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Beginning of Mercury’s Shadow prior to going Retrograde Jan 14, 2022
Today, Wednesday (12/29/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Venus joining with Pluto (8*). Today’s strongest vibrational pattern brings the concept of relating and communicating into the concentrated Venus Pluto pattern we are dealing with. There is an ability here to communicate more beautifully and more effectively so that other people will understand what you are trying to say and relate to it better. This is functioning on a very fundamental level in your interactions with others. This includes the ability to work inside yourself in a flow of energy and increasing awareness that is easy to experience and that gives you the foundation from which you can act in the world out of an inner sense and have the energy to actually go out and make some changes achieving something real and concrete. There is a sense of dissatisfaction and a reaching out for new experiences that may be more satisfying.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
21 (3*) Internalized easy flow of awareness, Works toward Free-flowing Elegance
10 (2*) Play and Creative Exploration with Others
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are displaying genuine, precious, beautiful, and useful products and gifts, offering them to others at a fair price. You are experiencing an exceptional level of sensitiveness to subtle energies as you spontaneously open to delight and wonder, allowing you to make better contact with both the spiritual and elemental realms. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are misrepresenting the value and significance of your products and gifts seeking to gain an advantage or take advantage of others. You are being so lighthearted and irresponsible that you don’t take anything seriously or being so bogged down in work that you don’t get any form of release.

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 29 – Dec 30 (exact Dec 30) Mercury in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 1 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:53 AM on Dec 30 then decreasing fading out around 10 PM on Dec 30. This vibration is about very intense thoughts where you are extremely focused on a subject. This can sometimes be operating irrationally. You may have thought patterns that you are working deeply involved with that you just can’t get out of your mind. Just know that if you give it a little bit of time, it will be easier to let it go if you want to do that.
Dec 28 – Dec 29 (exact Dec 29) Mercury in Capricorn is joining with Venus in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:27 AM then decreasing fading out around 6 PM. This vibration is about beautiful thoughts that you are writing, including possibly poetry. It is also excellent for being able to express yourself well speaking with others.
Dec 28 – Dec 31 (exact Dec 29) Mars in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7;22 PM then decreasing fading out around 11 AM on Dec 31. This vibration is about working with others to get the things done that need to get done what ever is required to get your goals accomplished.
Dec 16 – Jan 1 (exact Dec 24) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is then decreasing fading out around 4 AM on Jan 1. This is a major vibrational pattern that is occurring at this time for the third and final type in this cycle. It is about the need to operate your own way and not follow the crowd. It can involve rebellion and other disruptive behavior. It is extremely independent and not susceptible to influence.
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 3:42 AM, peaking at 5:42 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is inclined to share freely and harmoniously with others. This is a good time to do joint projects.
Starting at 8:51 AM, peaking at 10:51 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period involves impulsive spontaneous sharing with others where you want to have new, different, exciting experiences.
Starting at 9:58 AM, peaking at 11:58 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period brings evaluation of how effective you are being in your patterns of expression and whether you are actually moving towards your true purpose and 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 December 26, the Third Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Capricorn. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 2, 2022. There is a sense of the importance of getting through blockages to open up energy flows that have been blocked. This potential is increased during the week of this Quarter Moon Phase. Creativity is strong and the ability to explore options and bring new insights into how things can be combined together effectively. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Dark Archway and Ten Logs at the Bottom” which is about facing previous actions and beliefs that are blocking your way and transforming thos blockages into bridges that open the way into greater understanding. The Moon Symbol is “The Ideals of a Man abundantly Crystallized”. This has to do with connecting in with your true self and being willing to manifest it in concrete form in your life. It is important to release negative images and beliefs.
On December 21, the Sun entered Capricorn. This is the Winter Solstice and the official start of winter. This vibration pattern will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20, 2022. There is a special focus on sensing and realizing the unique special essence within each of us and supporting it’s development and expression. There is also an emphasis on the beauty of traditions that have a long history. There is an attraction to places and items that have a long history as well. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “A Modern Pocahontas” which is about opening up to connections between ancient cultural wisdom and modern exploration of new frontiers. This involves a recognition on an intuitive level that there are levels of awareness and forces of life that are beyond the comprehension of the rational mind and the ego. This involves embracing and honoring traditional wisdom. The Sun to Moon vibration’s Sabian Symbol is “Two Angels bringing Protection”. This is a reminder that we can open up to the protection of the divine which comes to us on both a conscious and an unconscious level.
On December 18 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 2, 2022. This vibrational pattern is aligned with the Saturn Uranus square that occurs on December 24. This means there is a strong pattern of forming your own structure for your life and operating out of it. There is the potential here to first analyze what needs to happen and then to use your intuition to figure out the answer you want to pursue. This vibration involve taking the risk to actually implement your plan even if others don’t agree with it. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Old Bridge over a Beautiful Stream” which is about you recognizing the true beauty deep within you, gradually exploring it and accepting that it may be very difficult to face and accept this beauty in the depths of your being. The Moon Symbol is “A Man declared Bankrupt”. This is about realizing that you have failed in the past to relate effectively and that now it is time to include others in the equation, and you get to start over again and maybe do it differently this time.
On December 4, a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred 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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury
Introductory Contact for Mercury: Reworking of Venus: Turning Forward of Uranus, 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 “!”}
