The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Sunday (07/16/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Venus joining with Saturn (0*). There is no vibrational pattern today that is strong enough to shape the energy. There are two patterns that you may be attracted to. Both are involved in internally focused work. You may find yourself wanting time to be by yourself today. This is a time when you can connect into your personal sense of yourself and perhaps figure out some things you have been working on. The first pattern is the featured planets Sun, Venus, Saturn which are seeking to focus on the beauty that is the foundation of life. This is about tuning into the core fundamental truths that underlie our lives here in time and space and finding that this core is beautiful. The second pattern focuses more on writing about the experience you have when you tune into this core energy. There is the potential here for some amazing experiences. (For VA Students: 21)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are learning to be flexible and open, seeing clearly how you can make appropriate choices to act either in the realm of Spirit and the realm of Matter as appropriate. You are starting to form relationships that are based on exchanges of love and affirmation, recognizing the worth of each person. You are seeking to transcend the barriers within you, accepting the excruciating pain coming from many directions at once as you move into a true release and awakening.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are feeling torn apart by the competing needs within you, disconnecting and isolating yourself with a devastating sense of ineptitude and estrangement from everything around you. You are interacting with others superficially based on seeking to gain prominence, power and prestige. You are running from the pain of truly facing yourself, refusing to embrace the process of facing the barriers within yourself, resulting in increasing depression as you experience your life shattering around you, feeling as if you’re being sacrificed without any hope of release.
24 Cancer = Sun [A woman and two men on a bit of sunlit land facing south] You are learning to be flexible and open, seeing clearly how you can make appropriate choices to act either in the realm of Spirit and the realm of Matter as appropriate and/or you are feeling torn apart by the competing needs within you, disconnecting and isolating yourself with a devastating sense of ineptitude and estrangement from everything around you
28 Leo = Venus [Many little birds on the limb of a large tree] You are starting to form relationships that are based on exchanges of love and affirmation, recognizing the worth of each person and/or you are interacting with others superficially based on seeking to gain prominence, power and prestige
7 Pisces = Saturn [A cross lying on rocks] You are seeking to transcend the barriers within you, accepting the excruciating pain coming from many directions at once as you move into a true release and awakening and/or you are running from the pain of truly facing yourself, refusing to embrace the process of facing the barriers within yourself, resulting in increasing depression as you experience your life shattering around you, feeling as if you’re being sacrificed without any hope of release
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}
Jul 16 – Jul 18 (exact Jul 17) Mercury in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 6 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:48 AM on July 17 then decreasing fading out around 11 PM on July 17. This vibration is about stepping back and tuning into the big picture, then taking action based on your perception of the full pattern, the overview.
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 12:06 AM, peaking at 2:06 AM, 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.
Starting at 10:22 AM, peaking at 12:22 PM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings a sense of emotional expansion and optimism and a desire to reach out and interact with others socially
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 July 9, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 17. This vibrational pattern is feeling a call to explore and interact with others in an upbeat creative process. There is an attraction to beauty that is seeking to be expressed through hands on direct creative processes that allow you to move into a communion with life that transcends the ordinary everyday reality. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Hen scratching for her Chicks” which involves opening up to the Mother Spirit as you are recognizing that you need a greater awareness and strength. You have to penetrate through the barriers you are encountering that block you from getting the spiritual nourishment you need. The Symbol for the Moon is “An Empty Hammock”. This is about becoming aware of a feeling of emptiness within you, realizing that this place contains great potential, and opening up to connecting into yourself on a deeper level.
On July 3 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 17. This vibrational pattern is about areas where you don’t know what actions to take to bring a favorable outcome. You need to thoroughly analyze the situation then use your intuition to pick the best outcome. There will likely be situations where you need to respond in the moment. It is especially urgent that you really be in the moment perceiving what is really happening in the moment in order to avoid accidents. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Chinese Woman nursing a Baby with a Message”. This is about opening up to the flow of nourishment coming into you from an unexpected source, finding that this nourishment is feeding the true essence of yourself and connecting you into who your really are. The Moon Symbol is “A Student of Nature lecturing” which is about studying the natural harmonies of all of life and seeing how all life is integrated together. This is about you opening up to these natural patterns and helping others to do the same.
On June 21, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 21. This is the longest day of the year and the shortest night. This vibrational pattern is dominated by the Sun Quincunx Pluto which shows that this is a time when each person must face and claim their own power and stand tall in it. There is an emphasis on working in support of your community this summer in very creative ways along with the potential for expansion through sudden insights and personal breakthroughs. The Sabian symbol for the Sun-Moon relationship is “A Christmas Tree decorated” which is like bringing the Winter Solstice into operation in the middle of Summer. This is about the light being reborn in the darkness within each of us.
On June 18, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 17. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on our communities. How are our communities operating? How well are they meeting the needs of the people within the communities? What can we do to improve the ways our communities function? This is combined with a restless sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo and a desire to change it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Gypsy coming out of the Forest” which is about moving beyond your previously restricted viewpoint and becoming aware of a larger reality.
On May 5, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational pattern is expansive and seeking to understand the different ways people can understand the world. This is often done by participating in a culture that is different from your culture of origin. There is a strong need for the freedom to express yourself and to act on your feelings. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which helps you connect to the next more expansive level of awareness beyond where you currently are operating. The Moon Symbol is “A Gold Rush”. This helps you find and identify the rigid patterns within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. You can break up these rigid structures and open up to a deeper truer understanding of yourself.
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 your connection within yourself 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 you 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.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory phase of Venus, Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Backward of Neptune: Reworking of 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 “!”}
