by Linda Berry*
At 5:17 AM EST, the New Moon occurs with the Sun in Capricorn joining with the Moon in Capricorn.
Today, Friday (12/23/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Mars and Jupiter (1*). This vibrational energy is creative and playful. There is a strong interest in exploring the world around you without any agenda. You are likely to enjoy interacting with others directly. This is an energy of involvement with the real world around you. You are likely to enjoy meeting with others socially. You appreciate people and like expanding your connections. This energy also has a strong connection to nature. Spending some time in natural spaces would be very rewarding. In general this is an absolutely delightful energy for a holiday time. Enjoy! (For VA Students: 5, 10)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Mars, Jupiter >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are opening up to the wonder of each moment discovering anew the flow of life through each moment seeing the light of spirit shining within and transforming everything around you. You are accepting the reality of your internal issues and that they must be processed and dealt with; rather than ignored or avoided. You are studying the remaining shells of ancient spiritual groups, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth. You are opening up to the initial tentative pulse of creative energy within you, feeling it on a primal level of awareness, embracing it and allowing it to rise up in a flow within you. You are perceiving hidden realms and your dual levels of operation when your emotions are stilled so that you can see past the usual emotional turmoil. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being caught up in the trivia of life feeling closed down, overwhelmed and inundated by your troubles. You are refusing to be realistic about issues within you and the resulting behaviors. You are dogmatically pushing your beliefs on others, believing that you know the one and only true way, seeking to force other people to follow your beliefs. You are failing to open up to the the tentative pulse of creation that you feel within you because of a lack of commitment to the process or being too weakly connected or being too fearful and insecure. You are being unable to quiet the emotions and failing to become aware of the deeper patterns beneath them.

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 23 – Dec 26 (exact Dec 24) Mercury in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us at around 12:30 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:17 PM on Dec. 24, then decreasing and fading out around 4 PM on Dec. 26. This vibration is about the mind focused on an objective overview of the dreams, ideals, visions and perhaps fantasies that you have about life and how you would like it to be. You are likely to be sharing your dreams with others and perhaps working together to make your dreams come true. This may bring some insights that will help you refine your dreams more and bring them more in align with what you really want from your life. This is a pleasant energy, however, you are not fully in touch with current realities for these days, so be careful about making any major decisions or changes.
Dec 21 – Dec 23 (exact Dec 22) Venus in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:47 AM, then decreasing and fading out around 11:30 PM. This vibration is about sudden feelings of attraction to beauty and the desire to pursue them, even when you would normally keep quiet. These attractions can be very powerful. Be aware that as Venus leaves the influence of Uranus these attractions will stop being compelling and may be regretted or not make sense to you. The feelings can be amazing, but take care to not make any commitments until after Venus and Uranus have separated and you find out if this has long term potential.
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 1:13 AM, peaking at 3:13 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Aries. In this 4 hr period your emotions will tend to expand. If you are feeling good, this can be great. If you are not feeling good, then this can be difficult. See if you can direct your feelings and thoughts to things that are pleasant and positive and you will be rewarded with some really good feelings.
At 2:49 AM, the Moon enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation is appropriate, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
At 5:17 AM EST, the Sun in Capricorn is joining with the Moon in Capricorn. This is the New Moon. See Cyclic Patterns Diary below.
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.}
At 5:17 AM EST on December 23rd, the New Moon occurs with the Sun in Capricorn conjunct with the Moon in Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 21. This vibrational energy treasures old patterns and traditions and is devoted to the mother. There is a flow of analysis in this pattern that just deepens it and helps us all appreciate the essentials that are present. This is about sharing community energy together in a loving way. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment”. This symbol is about repairing the damage done to love and beauty by aggressive violence, healing the deep wounds and blockages within you, gaining the strength and openness to accept love within yourself and give it to others. If you’re unable to tap into this energy, you may start feeling obsessively afraid, damaged and totally vulnerable, without protection, having no place to run or hide.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy brings a sense of spontaneous joy on the surface. On a deeper level there is an awareness of the importance of community and concern for the places where community fails and people fall through the cracks. There seems to be a strong emphasis, this season, on finding ways to more effectively respond to those among us who are not being supported by community in a good way. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “A jockey”. It comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon and it means you are learning 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. Try not to rush ahead without thought, getting carried away; seeking to win at all costs and finding that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
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.
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 “!”}
