The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Neptune turns direct today at 7:15 PM EST.
Today, Saturday (12/03/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Uranus (1*). This vibrational energy is internally focused working on developing it’s own unique understanding of the world. There is a strong tendency here to base your ideas on your own independent observations in the moment and to not accept any one else’s ideas about how things work. This is combined with a sense of responsibility, of doing what is really important and foundational. A second vibration operating today comes from Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus and involves a consideration of the big picture and a realization that you don’t know all the answers. There is a lot of analysis, but when it doesn’t give the answers, you may well find that your intuition will be your best guide to what you need to do. (For VA Students: 21 || 23)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
23 (3*) Follows One’s Personal Intuition; Takes Risks
21 (1*) Internalized easy flow of awareness, Works toward Free-flowing Elegance
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Saturn, Uranus >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing that your perceptions are distorted by the beliefs and visions of others and seeking to see what is really going on. You are recognizing that you have not been being true to yourself, tending to get lost in the needs of others, refocusing on the true expression of yourself and your potentials. You are perceiving fantastic opportunities that need to be carefully evaluated and responded to appropriately, with the potential of opening the door to fulfillment, experiencing great success, and making opportunities available to others. You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries. You are operating in a rational, evaluative way that is balanced with intuitive awareness, experiencing a natural balance that enables you to respond appropriately in each situation. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are living in a distorted reality based on false impressions and pretending to be something other than what you truly are. You are getting lost in grief and guilt, letting your disappointment and disillusionment swallow you up, being unable to let go of the past. You are naively jumping into any opportunity that appears, failing to evaluate its validity, being exploited by or exploiting others as you constantly chase after opportunities that come to nothing. You are feeling trapped, powerless and impotent, unable to even consider that you might be able to make a change in the way you function. You are being obsessed with work, constantly seeking to further your own ends, focusing on being in charge and in control of everything 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}
Dec 3 – Dec 4 (exact Dec 4) Venus in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us at around 7:30 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:12 AM on Dec. 4, then decreasing and fading out around 9:30 PM on Dec. 4. This vibrational energy sees beauty as an ideal to be pursued and is oriented towards feeling that achieving this beauty is very important. There is something idealistic and possibly dreamy and romantic about these feelings.
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 6:11 AM, peaking at 8:11 AM, the Moon in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Gemini. In this 4 hr period you want to express your emotions in an active harmonious way sharing with others. This is a great time for group activities or meetings or for social sharing or for team sports.
At 6:38 AM, the Moon enters Taurus and for the next 2 ½ days you feel more like you are working with the world around you with everything evolving in its own way. There is a lot more patience here and a sense of life unfolding as it should with a sense that you and everything around you change in the ways that are natural and proper.
Starting at 10:06 AM, peaking at 12:06 PM, the Moon in Aries 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 1:56 PM, peaking at 3:56 PM, the Moon in Aries is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Sagittarius. 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 8:53 PM, peaking at 10:53 PM, the Moon in Aries is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Sagittarius.This 4 hr period brings a good interaction between your mind and emotions helping you to both think and feel clearly. This is a good time to be working on important projects.
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 30, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Pisces square the Sun in Sagittarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on December 7. This vibrational energy brings an awareness of the ways that we are included in the lives of other people and the ways we are excluded from interaction with other people. There is a sense of the importance of being right now in the moment interacting with what is actually happening in this moment, rather than being caught up in old patterns. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A mother with her children on stairs”. This is an opportunity to be guided with love and care through progressive levels of awareness, growing in understanding of this beautiful place step by step. The challenge is to avoid closing off to interacting with others, refusing to give or receive help, insisting that you can do it all on your own, or refusing to grow up and continuing to expect to be looked after and taken care of. The Sabian Symbol for the First Quarter Moon is “A jockey”. This is an opportunity to learn how to pace yourself and evaluate your situation then move forward quickly when the time is right, recognizing that the process is more important than the outcome. Beware not to rush ahead without thought, get carried away; seek to win at all costs and find that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
On November 23rd, the New Moon occurs with the Sun in Sagittarius conjunct with the Moon in Sagittarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 23. The pattern at this New Moon is expansive and involves dealing with the unpredictable aspects of life. There is a sense of joy and adventure here. You look at what you are dealing with, analyze it and figure out as best you can what would be effective. Then you use your intuition to sort through the analysis you have made and figure out what really needs to happen. There is an element of leaping into the unknown here with an embracing of the risk involved in truly expressing yourself. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The ocean covered with whitecaps”. This symbol is about 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. Try to avoid getting caught up in immediate emotional reactions that keep you from tuning into the deeper stability below the emotional level.
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, Saturn and Neptune turns direct today at 7:15 PM EST >> 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 “!”}
