The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Friday (11/18/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Mercury and Venus (1*). This vibrational energy starts within us and in our interactions with others and is decreasing in influence but still being dominant for the first half of November. The emphasis is on your thinking processes and there is a desire for interaction with beautiful thoughts. This can be reading or writing or poetry. It can also be beautiful speeches that move you and connect in deeply. You are going to be attracted to these beautiful thoughts and are likely to find yourself being able to speak and write with more clarity and beauty yourself during this time period. (For VA Students: 1, 2)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
32 (4*) Action plans formulated within yourself and then acted upon at the right moment.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Venus >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are penetrating surface disturbances, finding deep inner peace and stillness below the surface, as you begin to perceive the underlying strength, stability and permanence of the universal into which you can tap. You are studying, practicing and learning how to analyze the possible ways that the forces and powers in this expanded realm may be operating and how to respond to them. You are learning to operate in new ways, expressing new patterns, proceeding to learn new skills step by step, being open to help and guidance from others. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in immediate emotional reactions that keep you from tuning into the deeper stability below the emotional level. You are operating based on impulse, opposing those around you on a whim and depending on luck to achieve your goals. You are relying on skills that you have not yet mastered, refusing help from others and falling flat on your face or pretending to less skill than you have in order to get sympathy and help from those around you.

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}
Nov 18 – Nov 25 (exact Nov 21) Mercury in Sagittarius is joining with Venus in Sagittarius. This vibe begins to influence us at around 10:30 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:55 PM on Nov. 21, then decreasing and fading out around 4:30 AM on Nov. 25. This vibrational energy brings beautiful thoughts and the ability to express yourself in a beautiful way. This is a special time for reading literature that contains beautiful phrases and for reading poetry.
Nov 17 – Nov 19 (exact Nov 18) the Sun in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:38 PM, then decreasing and fading out around 5 PM on Nov. 19. This vibrational energy brings a focus on your mission and purpose in life and opportunities to share that with others in harmonious ways.
Nov 15 – Nov 22 (exact Nov 19) Mars in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:35 AM on Nov. 19, then decreasing and fading out around 8 PM on Nov. 22. This vibrational energy is about a need to reach out into the world and act in ways that will build your dreams and make them more real in your life. Be aware that there may be an opportunity for you to act at this time in ways that will move you towards your goals.
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 2:23 AM, peaking at 4:23 AM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in a natural way based on tuning into beautiful universal structures that you can use to guide you.
Starting at 2:12 PM, peaking at 4:12 PM, 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 2:35 PM, peaking at 4:35 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 9:24 PM, peaking at 11:24 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 10PM, peaking at 12AM on Nov. 19, the Sun in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with the Moon in Virgo. In this 4 hr period you will feel a lightening of your mood with your emotions flowing easily in interaction with others. A meeting or a social gathering would be smoother and easier right now.
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 November 16th, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Leo square the Sun in Scorpio.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the New Moon on November 23. This vibrational energy involves opening up yourself and helping others to open themselves up to the deep special core within them, recognizing that each of us can reach into this place and express the unique beauty that he or she is. There is an emphasis in this energy on doing this in community. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An X ray”.This is an opportunity to look deeply below the surface and see the fundamental structures that underlie your current reality. Make sure you are not using subtle manipulations to invade other people’s space to reveal that which is hidden so you can use it, failing to understand the true implications of what you are finding.The Sabian Symbol for theThird Quarter Moonis “A large camel crossing the desert”.This is an opportunity to rely on your internal resources and preparation rather than using others as your reference point in order to move through very challenging, demanding circumstances with strength, determination, and endurance, cleansing your ego and letting go of self absorption. Make sure you are not depending on others in very demanding situations refusing to prepare properly yourself, having to turn to others when you find yourself coming up short without the resources and reserves necessary to complete your tasks.}
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon 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 April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon 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 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mars >> Reworking of Mars, Uranus: Turning forward of Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Saturn {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 “!”}
