The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Monday (09/11/2023),the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Jupiter and Saturn (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is exploratory, interacting with the world around you in an organic, associative manner. There is a feeling of playing that is often creative where you are prone to do what is necessary and essential to act on a big scale. You will feel a need to expand and grow at the same time that you can see clearly what the reasonable, effective growth path is that is most likely to enable you to succeed in your activities. This is combined with Venus, Saturn, Uranus which is looking for in a community that is sincere, honest, and supportive of independent thinkers. (For VA Students: 5, 10, 15, 20)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are recognizing that there are three different states of consciousness within you, the conscious level, all the processes below consciousness, and the level of greater spiritual awareness, and that all three levels are equally important. You are finding a damaged part of yourself where there is no energy flowing, realizing that it contains rigid patterns that come from ancient times and old soul issues, patterns that have to be broken up enough that you can start to heal and rebuild this part of yourself, facing and transforming these ancient patterns and connecting this part of yourself back into universal light and love. You are beginning to move beyond the dangers of ego domination and emotional rebellion and approach the safety of harmony within yourself but you still need to be very aware of possible regressions. You are forming a working pattern for dealing with the world that enables you to function while you continue to learn about yourself and work on your deeper issues.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are limiting yourself to the conscious awareness of your mind and ego and denying that there is anything else operating within you. You are holding onto your difficult and rigid patterns, feeling frozen in a shape that you’re not willing to release. You are being over-confident, believing that you have reached a place of safety and taking your safety for granted when dangers are still surrounding you. You are pretending that you have everything together and refusing to even consider that there might be something you need to deal with deep within you.

3 Pisces = Saturn [A petrified forest] You are finding a damaged part of yourself where there is no energy flowing, realizing that it contains rigid patterns that come from ancient times and old soul issues, patterns that have to be broken up enough that you can start to heal and rebuild this part of yourself, facing and transforming these ancient patterns and connecting this part of yourself back into universal light and love and/or you are holding onto your difficult and rigid patterns, feeling frozen in a shape that you’re not willing to release
10 Libra = Mars interacting with Jupiter [A canoe approaching safety through dangerous waters] You are beginning to move beyond the dangers of ego domination and emotional rebellion and approach the safety of harmony within yourself but you still need to be very aware of possible regressions and/or you are being over-confident, believing that you have reached a place of safety and taking your safety for granted when dangers are still surrounding you
15 Taurus = Jupiter [A man muffled up with a rakish silk hat] You are forming a working pattern for dealing with the world that enables you to function while you continue to learn about yourself and work on your deeper issues and/or you are pretending that you have everything together and refusing to even consider that there might be something you need to deal with deep within you
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}
All the two planet patterns today involve the Moon, See Below.
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 6:05 AM, peaking at 8:05 AM, the Moon in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Libra. In this 4 hr period you want to express your emotions in an active harmonious way sharing with others. This is a great time for group activities or meetings or for social sharing or for team sports.
Starting at 1:31 PM, peaking at 3:31 PM, the Moon in Leo is joining with Venus in Leo. This 4 hr period should bring some really good feelings and a focus on loving caring relationships where you treasure each person for the unique individual they are
Starting at 5:54 PM, peaking at 7:54 PM, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Taurus. 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.
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 September 6, 2023 the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Gemini. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on September 14. This vibrational pattern brings a strong awareness of the past and how it is affecting the present. There may be a tendency to fixate on certain ideas and carry them to extremes. There is a strong need to take action and accomplish your goals in a way that is sensitive to the needs of others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Ornamental Handkerchief” which is about recognizing that a beautiful façade may contain something dark and distorted. This is about recognizing the importance of looking below the surface and not accepting things at face value. The Symbol for the Moon is “Two Dutch Children Talking”. This symbol points to the possibility of you getting support and understanding from others of the same background where you share common experiences that others may not understand.
On August 30, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 14. This vibrational pattern is dealing with the complex stresses within your society. In the next two weeks there is the potential for some incremental change that may reduce the level of stress to a more manageable level. There is a strong emphasis on seeing what is actually going on, the foundational structures involved. There will be the opportunity to release ideas and behaviors that will not be viable on a more long term basis. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “First Dancing Instruction” which emphasizes the importance of flowing and responding with others. There is the opportunity here to discipline yourself under the guidance of an instructor using continued practice to gain self-control. It is important to realize that you have an opportunity here to learn something important. The Moon Symbol is “A Girl Blowing a Bugle”. This is about asking for help from higher spiritual forces as you become more aware and alert to the issues within and around you.
On August 16 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 14. This vibrational pattern involves a strong internal component where you are working within yourself seeking to get your internal experience of yourself to be more peaceful and smoothly flowing. You carefully consider what your motives are and what you actually want to see changed in the world around you before you take action. There are strong indicators of an intense need for a new level of awareness that brings a rebirth of the psyche. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An untidy, unkept Man” which is about no longer being bound by issues related to appearance, display and approval as you are developing a sense of self-worth. This comes from establishing a connection with internal resources that transcend the level of appearances.
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 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 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: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Uranus >> Turning Backward of Jupiter: Reworking of Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Venus {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 “!!!”}
