The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Friday (04/28/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus and Mars joining with Neptune (1*). Today’s vibration pattern is focused within us. We are challenged to evaluate ourselves and how we are expressing ourselves in our lives. Are we tapping into the vast potential within us? Are we willing to express the excellence that is within us? Perhaps one of the most daring things we do in life is to face ourselves. This is about sensing the transcendent beauty within each of us. There is a magic that is out of this world that can shine in our lives. We are challenged to be deeply and personally involved in the development of all that we can be. (For VA Students: 13, 26)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Mars, Neptune >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are determining which of the abundance of choices available will provide the nourishment you need, evaluating what you hunger for, selecting it, paying for it, and bringing it in to become a part of yourself. You are being hungry and blocked and opening up to help from a mother spirit recognizing that you need a greater awareness and strength than you have in order to penetrate through the barriers and find the nourishment you need. You are celebrating the abundant fullness of the harvest within your soul, guided by the divine, recognizing that you have a responsibility to preserve that which you have gathered for the future. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being overwhelmed by the many things available to you being unable to make a choice or taking more than you need and depriving someone else. You are refusing help from others, seeking to do it all by yourself and gradually getting weaker and weaker. You are being surrounded by abundance and wastefully neglecting to properly care for the bounty you have been given, leaving it to rot and be wasted.

27 Pisces = Neptune [A harvest moon] You are celebrating the abundant fullness of the harvest within your soul, guided by the divine, recognizing that you have a responsibility to preserve that which you have gathered for the future and/or you are being surrounded by abundance and wastefully neglecting to properly care for the bounty you have been given, leaving it to rot and be wasted
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 27 – May 1 (exact Apr 29) Mars in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:04 PM on Apr 29 then decreasing fading out around 5 PM on May 1. This vibration brings the opportunity to interact spontaneously in the moment with your friends. There is the potential for quick thought patterns and resulting insights into whatever area you are focused on. Keep a notebook handy to write down thoughts and inspirations you may experience as they will tend to fade away like dreams if you don’t write them down.
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 3:44 AM, peaking at 5:44 AM, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Taurus. This 4 hr period involves your emotions and moods stimulating your mind and results in you needing to balance your mind and emotions in order to act in clear constructive ways. It is important for you to pay attention to your feelings and your thoughts on whatever is happening now and remember to think before you act.
Starting at 1:26 PM, peaking at 3:26 PM, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”
Starting at 5:42 PM, peaking at 7:42 PM, the Moon in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Gemini. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, those with whom you feel a soul connection.
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 27 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Leo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on May 5. This energy concentration focuses on seeking to reach deep into the fundamental spiritual truths that underlie this world we live in and to understand ourselves and our world better because of these deep connections. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Sleigh without Snow” which tunes into the unfolding of future possibilities and works on developing the skills and tools needed to meet future situations. The Moon Symbol is “A Bolshevic Propagandist”. This involves tearing down the status quo in order to make space for changes that can improve people’s lives. The challenge is to learn to let go and reach out to embrace new possibilities.
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: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> 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 “!”}
