The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Tuesday (10/10/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon and Venus joining with Saturn (3*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is about working with the nature of the world around you. Sometimes you create a flow of harmony, sometimes you create new things, sometimes you focus on your community and the parts of it you are attracted to, sometimes you develop plans within you or work within you to develop your own structure. You are especially attracted to things that have a long history and find these things beautiful. As you interact with the world around you, you learn what is essential and fundamental and that is beautiful also. (For VA Students: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Venus, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are experiencing with humility the pain of confronting your darkness and shadow aspects. You are sensing that there are difficult patterns within you that you do not know how to handle, protecting yourself from these patterns while you develop the strength and support system needed to face these potentially destructive patterns.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are denying and blocking your personal awareness of your shadow, which results in you projecting it outward and reacting with fear and anger to its reflection in those around you. You are being so threatened by the issues within you that you feel unable to function frozen in the dark unwilling to accept any help or support.

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}
Oct 9 – Oct 11 (exact Oct 10) Venus in Virgo is opposing Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:10 AM, then decreasing fading out around 4 AM on Oct. 11. This vibration is seeking to find and interact with essential, fundamental beauty. It tends to reject anything that is not the core fundamental beauty of the person or object or conceptual pattern it is focused on.
Oct 7 – Oct 10 (exact Oct 8) Mars in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 9 AM. This vibration brings an intense need rising up within you where you are feeling compelled to act to make a change and perhaps set a new direction.
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 3:36 AM, peaking at 5:36 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.
At 8:02 AM the Moon enters Virgo and is there for 2 ½ days bringing the sense of an elusive perfection that you would like to express here on earth. This can result in a desire to fix things that are not working the way they “should”.
Starting at 8:06 AM, peaking at 10:06 AM, the Moon in Virgo is opposing Saturn in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you are dealing with that which is especially significant or fundamental in your relationships with others. This is especially about evaluating whether your interactions are working to build your life in a way that supports and leads to your long-term goals. You can see clearly now what you need to change to accomplish your goals.
Starting at 8:46 AM, peaking at 10:46 AM, the Moon in Virgo is joining with Venus in Virgo. This 4 hr period should bring some really good feelings and a focus on loving caring relationships that reflect universal patterns of 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 October 6, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on October 14. This vibrational energy is dealing with the stresses that are interfering with our experience of life and seeking to at least partially relieve some of that stress. There is a sense of the importance of beauty and balance in our lives. There is a need to adjust our growth and expansion process. This needs to be accompanied by an evaluation of our dreams to see what is really realistic and leads to the beauty we are seeking. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Noon Siesta” which calls for you to take some time to reflect and process so that you can be refreshed and interact with others more effectively. The Moon Symbol is “A very old man facing a vast dark space in the northeast”. This symbol reminds us that the darkness will not last forever. The light of dawn is coming soon to bring rebirth as it illuminates the darkness.
On September 29, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on October 14. This vibrational energy is evaluating the stresses and strains in the community or group and making adjustments to gradually release some of the build up stress. There is accompanied by a sense of the beauty and value of ideas or traditions that come from the past. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Woman feeding Chickens and protecting them from the Hawks” which is about using your resources and experience to nurture and protect those who are less experienced than you. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Man successfully expressing himself in two realms at once”. This is about separating your focused awareness into two different points of attention, orientation and response where you are being able to respond in each area appropriately. This requires a detachment from the current ways you are operating that enables you to broaden your focus.
On September 23, the Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. At the Fall Equinox day and night are of equal length and we are moving towards the shorter days of Fall and Winter. This vibrational pattern is showing the Sun in relationship to Neptune and Pluto bringing a compulsive focus on your dreams and ideals and the potential for them to flow into realization in harmony with other people. There is a lot of mental energy with the potential to learn and develop new ideas and to try to act on your ideas and possibly get frustrated and angry if you are opposed. The desire is to bridge the gap in understanding and transmit to others what you have learned. There is also the potential for expanding your spiritual understandings during the Fall. The Sabian symbol for the Sun-Moon relationship is “Two Fairies on a Moonlit night”. You may discover two amazing, wonderful magical potentials illuminated in the darkness within you, the sensitive receptive potential and the potential to act in effective ways that bring your dreams to life, showing you that you are capable of being more than you ever dreamed of. On the flip side you may be misunderstanding what you are perceiving and getting caught up in illusion and fantasy which can result in being confused and irresponsible.
On September 14, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on October 14. This vibrational energy pattern has a strong emphasis on emotional spontaneity and quick responses in the moment. There is a sense of working to realize your dreams through what you encounter in the world. There is an awareness of the community you are in and of the importance of expanding the benefits of community to all the people in the community. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Royal Coat of Arms”. This symbol points to the responsibility each of us has to pass the benefits we have received on to the people who are in need. What we have gained we have a responsibility to pass on to others, to aide, to guide and to protect those who are less fortunate than we are.
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: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Reworking of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune: Turning Forward of 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 “!!!”}
