The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (04/8/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Neptune (1*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is about evaluating your motives and drives and what you are trying to accomplish. You are seeking to determine whether your goals match the ways you are going about seeking to reach your goals. In a sense this is about sincerely asking yourself “What do I want to do?” You may have ideas and plans that you have been developing for a long time. Now is a very good time to assess those tentative plans and see if there is anything you need to adjust in them and whether you can move your plans closer to implementation. (For VA Students: 16, 32)
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, Saturn, Neptune >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are detaching yourself from your immediate experience, getting an overview of a broader pattern in which you operate as a part of the whole; opening to the underlying wonder of life’s magic. You are patiently exploring the limitations to your ability to communicate freely and easily, finding your way through the blockages within, using narrow channels of true expression that you’re building that enable you to move through the blockage. You are beginning to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are withdrawing into a fantasy land, where you cannot relate to what is around you. You are frantically bouncing from one limitation to another, not slowing down enough to even recognize the reactive patterns in which you’re trapped. You are feeling alone and isolated, fearing disconnection from others if you’re true to yourself, failing to see the underlying reality in which everyone is connected.
19 Aries = Sun [The magic carpet] You are detaching yourself from your immediate experience, getting an overview of a broader pattern in which you operate as a part of the whole; opening to the underlying wonder of life’s magic and/or you are withdrawing into a fantasy land, where you cannot relate to what is around you
4 Pisces = Saturn [Heavy traffic on a narrow isthmus] You are patiently exploring the limitations to your ability to communicate freely and easily, finding your way through the blockages within, using narrow channels of true expression that you’re building that enable you to move through the blockage and/or you are frantically bouncing from one limitation to another, not slowing down enough to even recognize the reactive patterns in which you’re trapped
26 Pisces = Neptune [A new moon that divides its influences] You are beginning to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision and/or you are feeling alone and isolated, fearing disconnection from others if you’re true to yourself, failing to see the underlying reality in which everyone is connected
The 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}
Apr 6 – Apr 9 (exact Apr 8) Mercury in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Cancer. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:29 AM then decreasing fading out around 11 AM on Apr 9. This vibration is activates the mind and brings and openness to learning new things. It is especially interested in the practical application of the things it learns.
Apr 6 – Apr 8 (exact Apr 7) Venus in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 11:30 AM. This vibration is attracted to idealistic situations and is prone to see what it expects in situations rather than seeing what is really there. This can be beautiful and soft and romantic. Just remember not to make any long-term decisions under this vibrational influence.
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 7:55 AM, peaking at 9:55 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. You may be feeling pretty independent right now and more touchy about other people being in control of what you are doing. You will have a tendency to react. Right now you want to do what you feel like doing right this moment and you don’t want to worry about what other people feel about it. Remember other people are feeling the same way and give them the same space you are needing at the moment.
Starting at 11:49 PM, peaking at 1:49 AM early April 9, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams, they are living inside you and you are feeling them. You may find yourself daydreaming more than usual. You can use this time to get deeply in touch with your dreams and draw inspiration from them to help you make them more real.
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 April 6, the Full Moon occurs with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on April 19. This vibrational pattern brings a strong need to expand and grow whatever you are working on or involved in. You may feel that it is time to make a shift and to really do what is important to you whether it is practical or not. This can mean that you may be surprised by the decisions and actions of the people around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Two Prim Spinsters” which is about turning inward to break free of the bonds of traditional restrictions. There is an opportunity here to open up to expression of the impulsive side of yourself. Take care that your fears do not result in rigid control of your impulses, withdrawing and being threatened by the potential for exuberant expression of life. The symbol for the Moon is “A Retired Sea Captain”. This reminds you that by stepping back and seeing the ebb and flow of life you can experience a sense of the patterns of your life and get a more complete understanding of your experiences and interactions with others.
On March 21, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun joining together in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on April 19. This vibrational pattern brings the Sun and Moon together with Mercury and Neptune. This brings a sense of connecting within yourself into your emotional patterns and feelings combining them with the ideas you find fascinating. You may be able to see some new combinations. This may be aided by discussions with others where you can both share the ideas you are finding especially interesting at this time. There is a potential here to get in touch with your dreams and be able to see them in a different light. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A woman rises out of water, a seal rises and embraces her”. This encourages you to open up to a feeling of new beginnings within you. There is the potential for something new to start in your life if you are open to it and make a commitment to moving into these new potentials.
On March 20 the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun enters Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 21. This is the balancing point of the year when the days and nights are of equal length. This year’s Spring Equinox brings a strong feeling of needing to have your ideas be exceprtional and amazing. The vibration for Spring is deeply involved in sharing other people’s stories and there is a tendency to act based on the things you have learned from others to seek to make the lives of those around you better. The Sabian Symbol for the distance from the Sun to the Moon is “A master instructing his pupil. This is about participating in the transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom, being open to receiving deep insights from unexpected places. This energy becomes distorted if you claim a superior status and special privileges based on your position. This is about recognizing the worth and authority of each person.
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, Neptune >> Introductory phase of Mercury, Saturn, Neptune: Turning Backward of Pluto: Resolution of Uranus {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 “!”}
