Today, Monday (04/24/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Venus joining with Mars (1*). The vibrational pattern today is about taking seeking to express yourself and take action while maintaining harmony with those you are interacting with. This involves communicating with your colleagues working to get their support for the actions you want to take, showing how these actions are of benefit to them. This is a favorable environment for communication. Both speaking and writing, you may find yourself able to be very effective in your communication.This is a great time to study some area you have been wanting to learn. Your mind has energy today to get really involved and to take in new ideas. This is a very nice aspect pattern, enjoy! (For VA Students: 12, 24)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
24 (3*) Free-flowing action expressing of your motivations and drives harmoniously
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars >>> The uplifting message fromthe featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries. You are assertively communicating about the importance of a particular set of ideals or concepts, seeking to interact with others in a sensitive way that persuades them of the value of your position. You are finding an ancient source that contains information related to what you’re experiencing, giving a better understanding of this vast new world you have encountered. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: 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 aggressively repeating your ideas over and over with no sensitivity to how they are being received by others, so that they tune you out and stop listening to you. You are limiting your focus to current understandings, assuming the current levels of awareness contain everything you need and, thus, missing vital clues contained in ancient sources of wisdom.
16 Taurus = Mercury [An old man attempting vainly to reveal the Mysteries] You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries and/or 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
16 Gemini = Venus [A woman suffragist haranguing] You are assertively communicating about the importance of a particular set of ideals or concepts, seeking to interact with others in a sensitive way that persuades them of the value of your position and/or you are aggressively repeating your ideas over and over with no sensitivity to how they are being received by others, so that they tune you out and stop listening to you
16 Cancer = Mars [A man before a square with a manuscript scroll before him] You are finding an ancient source that contains information related to what you’re experiencing, giving a better understanding of this vast new world you have encountered and/or you are limiting your focus to current understandings, assuming the current levels of awareness contain everything you need and, thus, missing vital clues contained in ancient sources of wisdom
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 a couple of hours either side of the exact time of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Apr 24 – Apr 26 (exact Apr 25) the Sun in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 5 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:48 AM on Apr 25 then decreasing fading out around 9 AM on Apr 26. This vibration focuses on harmonious relationships with those you are dealing with. There is a strong sense of what is essential to making your relationships work well. If you have a friend or partner that you need to talk with, this could be a good time to sit down and discuss what is happening in your relationship.
Apr 21 – Apr 26 (exact Apr 23) Mercury in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Cancer. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 4 AM on Apr 25. This vibration brings a lot of mental stimulation. This is a good time to tackle some area you have been wanting to learn. Look for how you can put the learning into practical applications.
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 2:48AM, peaking at 4:48 AM, the Moon in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a sense of emotional expansion and optimism and a desire to reach out and interact with others socially
Starting at 6:15AM, peaking at 8:15 AM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period highlights your dreams and is a great time to do anything that is especially magical for you, like visiting some special place that you love to go to. There may be some feelings of disconnection from the everyday world and perhaps a sense of fuzziness or vagueness. It will pass as the Moon moves beyond Neptune.
At 2:58 PM the Moon enters Cancer, staying for 2 ½ days and shifting your emotional focus to close interactions with those that you consider to be family and to expanding your family group. You want to have harmonious interactions with those you love.
Starting at 10:10PM, peaking at 12:10 AM, early April 25, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Taurus. 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.
Starting at 10:40 PM, peaking at 12:40 AM, early April 25, the Moon in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period stimulates an internal awareness of the patterns that are working for your long term benefit and those that are undermining your goals. It is easier to shift at this time to a more effective pattern that supports your goals.
The Cyclic Patterns Diary {These are patterns that continue over an extended period oftime 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 20 the New Moon a Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 14. This eclipse in Aries emphasizes our connection with ourselves and encourages you to find a way to do what you feel called to do deep within you. There is a focus on interacting with the world and exploring whatever we are drawn to. This process can be very creative. And with this vibration it leads to taking actions based on your discoveries. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A Duck Pond and its Brood”. This is about recognizing that you are operating within a bounded,limited sphere of activity where you are inter-linked with a particular group of people. It is important to realize that you are interconnected with people in a larger realm and to realize that you need to take into account this larger realm rather than just focusing on the needs of your group.
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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory phase of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Backward of Pluto: Reworking of Mercury: 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 “!”}
