The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (10/22/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Venus and Neptune (7*). This vibrational energy is interaction with the world around you, exploring whatever catches your attention. This is a process of random attraction to things around you that you start to play with. You may well interact with others in a smooth flowing creative process. Sometimes there are flashes of creative genius. You are especially attracted to the wonder of what you are working with. There is a sense almost of being in a dream world. Today you want to have experiences that are larger than life. You may find yourself feeling romantic. Enjoy!

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus, Neptune >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are embracing the intellect, emotions and Spirit within you, interconnecting and balancing them against each other, following the path of wisdom and deep philosophical understanding. You are seeing fundamental truths revealed with their camouflage removed and recognizing that life transcends the apparent reality of life and death. You are truly grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being caught up in operating in an unbalanced way; either intellectualizing everything, or being excessively emotional or indulging in unrealistic spiritual fantasies. You are focusing on the ephemeral cyclical processes of life and death and believing that that is all that there is. You are putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you, focusing only on yourself and feeling alienated, deserted and alone.

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}
Oct 22 – Oct 23 (exact Oct 22) Mercury in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe begins to influence us at around 7 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9 PM, then decreasing and fading out around 11:30 AM on Oct 23. This vibrational energy involves a natural smooth-flowing analysis of the things you are dealing with. There is an ability to see what is really fundamental and essential and to eliminate the ideas or concepts that are more superficial.
Oct 18 – Oct 26 (exact Oct 22) the Sun in Libra is joining with Venus in Libra. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:17 PM, then decreasing and fading out around 3 PM on Oct 26. This vibrational energy calls you to tap into the beauty within you and to express your true beautiful self in the world. This is a vibration of connecting with yourself and others. You may be able to more clearly see the beauty in the people around you at this time.
Sept. 15 – Oct. 22 (closest position Oct. 4, never exact) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is a repeat of a strong pattern that we saw in the last year where there is a focus on doing your own thing and not taking into account the ideas or needs of the rest of the world. This is a very independent, sometimes rebellious, pattern that can tend to be disruptive.
The Moods of the Moon
{The Moon patterns only last a short period of time. They impact our moods and feelings for around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 6:37 AM, peaking at 8:37 AM, the Moon in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a feeling of dreaminess and vagueness as you are more connected into your dreams than into the everyday realities around you. This is a good time to share your dreams with someone you are close to.
Starting at 10:27 AM, peaking at 12:27 PM, the Moon in Virgo is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Gemini. 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 12:17 PM, peaking at 2:17 PM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period deep feelings within you that you have buried could affect your mood. Be aware that you may be reacting to the past rather than the present. Ask yourself if you have felt this way in the past and when and with whom. Be prepared to walk away from a situation if you get triggered.
Starting at 8:17 PM, peaking at 10:17 PM, the Moon in Libra is opposing Jupiter in Aries. In this 4 hr period you will be feeling optimistic and expansive and wanting to expand your horizons by having new experiences and getting to know new people This is a really good time to be involved in social interactions with other people.
At 9:24 PM, 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.
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 17, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer square the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 25. The vibrational energy this week is fairly confrontive. There is an emphasis on devotions to beautiful patterns from the past combined with emotional obsessions. The need to be aware of and take into account all the swirling concepts in this time is especially emphasized. There are hidden patterns here that need to be revealed and acted upon with the emphasis being on interactions with others whether collaborations or confrontations. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Information in the symbol of an autumn leaf”. This is an opportunity to see fundamental truths revealed with their camouflage removed and recognize that life transcends the apparent reality of life and death. The challenge is to stop focusing on the ephemeral cyclical processes of life and death and believing that that is all that there is. The Sabian Symbol for the Quarter Moon is “A dark shadow or mantle thrown suddenly over the right shoulder”. This brings is an opportunity to open to a connection that overshadows you, a greater authority that is calling on you to transcend ego and logical rationalization. Open to spiritual power and learn to assume responsibility for using the power that has been given to you, wisely and with humility. It’s important not to claim this power as your own or operate from a sense of personal superiority and divine right; potentially abusing your power.
On October 9, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries opposing the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 25. This vibrational pattern brings a feeling of attraction to people and items that have a long history. This can be long standing relationships or antiques that carry a sense of history in them. This is a time for spending time by yourself doing your own internal work. There is also a potential for great creativity under this vibrational pattern if you can open up to it. There may be a feeling of attraction to people and items that have a long history. This can be long standing relationships or antiques that carry a sense of history in them. Ways that the past is affecting the future will likely become clear during this two weeks. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A retired sea captain”. This is an opportunity to step back, see the ebb and flow of life, experience a sense of pattern and fulfillment and get a more complete understanding of your experiences and interactions with others if you can let go of disappointment and anger at lost opportunities, and move beyond the feeling that everything is lost and that there is no point in trying any longer. The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon is “Two prim spinsters”. Here there is an opportunity to turn inward to break free of the bonds of traditional restrictions and open up to the expression of the impulsive side of yourself if you can let go of the rigid control of your impulses. The challenge is to open up to the exuberant expression of life.
On September 25, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon October 25. This vibrational pattern has some contradictions in it. First it is expansive and seeking to act on its motivations and drives. There is a tendency to act without thinking about how other people are going to be affected by your actions. This is likely to run up against the ideas other people have about how the world works. If you are not naturally inclined to be inclusive, this is a time when you may find you have jumped over the edge of the cliff in your relationships with others. So take extra care about your choices right now and realize there is something self-oriented and irrational pushing you to not take others into account. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The Dawn of a New Day, Everything Changed”. This symbol is about recognizing a new center of awareness within yourself. You are encouraged to embrace a reorientation that causes everything to be changed. The rules are now different and the reactions of others will be different from what you expect. This is especially true if you do not adjust to the changes that are occurring in you and in those around you. If you find you are feeling fear and anger, stop and evaluate and see what the awareness is that you are blocking.
On September 22 the Fall Equinox occurs as the Sun enters Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern involves tuning into yourself and following what is within you rather than seeking to meet external expectations. There is a sense of skepticism about simple pat answers. This comes from a sense of a depth to life with a deep mystery at the very core of life, a mystery that cannot be reduced down to words.. The Sabian Symbol for the Fall Equinox is “An Ancient Pottery Bowl filled with Violets”. This is about basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life. You are encouraged to develop a delicate and beautiful essence that radiates love, peace, beauty and simplicity.
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 awarenesses 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.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Turning back of Mars: Reworking of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Turning forward of 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 “!”}
