The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Thursday (12/15/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Mercury and Saturn (0*).There are no vibrational energies strong enough to be a focus for the energy today. Instead there are several clusters of energy and you will tend to be attracted to the one that you resonate with the most. The largest energy concentration is in the featured vibration Sun, Mercury, Saturn which is deeply engaged in analysis seeking to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of its areas of focus. There is potential here for figuring out new and improved ways of solving your problems. The second somewhat weaker vibration is Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn. This is about taking action based on a deep internal sense of awareness of what you are and what life is all about. There is a sense of seeing the big picture and being able to analyze what you perceive figuring out its strengths and weaknesses. There is a broader focus here than in the first pattern.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Saturn >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are studying the natural harmonies of all of life, the integration of all life together, helping others open up to these little-known patterns. 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. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are intellectualizing about the natural patterns from a position of smug superiority, focused on how this will benefit you. 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.

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 13 – Dec 15 (exact Dec 14) the Sun in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing in influence and fading out around 12 PM. This vibrational energy is about actively seeking an amazing larger than life vision that you can take action on. There may be a sense of not being entirely in touch with everyday mundane reality.
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 2:01 AM, peaking at 4:01 AM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Capricorn. 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.
Starting at 4:29 AM, peaking at 6:29 AM, 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 8:41 AM, peaking at 10:41 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 10:40 PM, peaking at 12:40 AM on December 16, 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.
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 7, the Full Moon occurred with the Sun in Sagittarius opposing the Moon in Gemini. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 23. This vibrational energy has a need to go out and take action. Yet, at the same time there is a pull to move inside of yourself and evaluate what you are doing and why you are doing it. The question is especially raised – what does it mean to operate in the moment and how does one respond effectively in the moment. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Easter sunrise service”. This is an opportunity to join with others to celebrate the symbols of transformation, the death of the old self and the birth of a new self in which the divine lives. Try not to focus on the pain and losses of the past–being unable to let them go keeps you depressed and stuck in your historical pattern. The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon is “The head of health dissolved into the head of mentality”. Here there is an opportunity to learn to have your mind guide your body, developing a more mature objective perspective on yourself and others. Make sure not to react based on immature responses, being caught up in illusions of how things should be and not being able to see what is happening within and around you.
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: Mercury >> Introductory Contact for Mercury: Reworking of Mars, Uranus: Turning forward of 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 “!”}
