The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Tuesday (5/17/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Saturn and Neptune (2*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is very focused on how it relates to the world and seeks to get its objectives accomplished. For this vibration it is not just a matter of going out and getting something done, rather it is a matter of interacting with the other people who are around you and working with you and finding a way to accomplish your goal that works for everyone. There is a lot of concern here about not upsetting people as you continue to work to accomplish your goals. There is a spiritual process involved in today’s vibration as you are seeking to find the fundamental and essential truths and act based on them in ways that other people can understand and accept. (For VA Students: 12, 24).
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)

32 (3*) Expression of one’s Inner Drive, Talents & Motivations
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Saturn, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are transforming your active assertive impulses, placing them at the service of a greater awareness, taking care to keep your emotions in balance, being guided by your intuitive awarenesses. You are getting rid of all that is not truly part of your essence as a deeply spiritually aligned and complete person, while recognizing the truth of other people seeing who and what they are in the essence of their being. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being lopsided and out of balance with your emotions overwhelming your rational responses and your intuitive awarenesses being ignored. You are refusing to look at distortions in your values and motives, clinging to rigid positions, deceiving, lying, and misleading those around you and being rejected.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
May 16 – May 19 (exact May 18) Mars in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:33 AM on May 18 then decreasing fading out around 11 AM on May 19. This vibration is about putting energy into achieving your dreams. There is the potential here for moving your life in the direction that would be most meaningful for 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 9:31 AM, peaking at 11:31 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a very nice flow of love and good feelings. This can be a special time to share with those you care about.
Starting at 9:51 PM, peaking at 11:51 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you may find yourself more prone to be emotionally worked up. Doing something active will use the energy in a constructive way. Take a walk even if it’s just around the block or down the hall, do some squats, run in place, anything that uses the excess energy that is floating around right now.
Starting at 9:59 PM, peaking at 11:59 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period you find it easy to accept responsibility and work comfortably with others getting the things done that really need to be done.
Starting at 9:59 PM, peaking at 11:59 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period highlights your dreams and is a great time to do anything that is especially magical for you, like visiting some special place that you love to go to.
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 May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.
On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awareness of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.
On March 20 the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This seasonal vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 21. This energy pattern calls us to adjust our ideas of the past and history becoming aware of where our emotions have been interfering with our understanding. This brings the potential for a great deal of creativity this spring. This pattern also encourages us evaluating our understanding of life to recognize where we are being effective and where we are not and to adjust our ways of dealing with things accordingly. The Sabian Symbol for the Spring Equinox comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon. It is “A Man’s Head” which encourages us to recognize that each of us is a distinct person with specific characteristics of value. The warning is to take care that you do not over-value yourself at the expense of others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury
Introductory Contact for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune: Turning back of Pluto: Reworking of Mercury
{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 “!”}
