The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Friday (10/13/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Jupiter and Saturn (2*). The strongest vibrational energy today is about interaction with the world around you, experiencing it, and exploring it without an agenda. This may either be personal exploration or group exploration. In the process of this exploration you learn things about how different aspects of the world relate to each other and this builds an organic sense of the connections and patterns around you. You are expanding and at the same time learning what is really essential to include in that expansion. What will really work? There is the potential here for some really big actions and the ability to do the things that are essential to accomplish your goals. You are able to operate in a real down to earth way without any pretense. (For VA Students: 15, 30)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
15 (4*) Free-flowing Play and Creative exploration
22 (3*) Restless, Impatience shared with others, May feel stifled by others
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 involving yourself in the initial exploration of strange new realms, recognizing the importance of keeping contact with your own identity while exploring realms that are unknown to you and sharing your experiences with others. You are recognizing all that is available if you’re willing to pay the price for it and making an assessment of yourself in order to be able to publicly display what you have that is of true worth. You are opening up your awareness and feeling the nature of what is around you experiencing it permeating as you interact with the world around you. You are starting to feel things out, connecting in, groping around and playing, seeking to develop some new ways of understanding and expressing yourself.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are getting confused and disoriented because of losing track of yourself, holding back and withdrawing into yourself, so that you get caught in unfriendly alien circumstances. You are misrepresenting yourself and taking advantage of others or being deceived by others who are misrepresenting themselves. You are closing down refusing to connect into that which is around you blocking yourself off from interactive involvement with the world around you. You are holding onto the issues and habitual ways you have been operating and refusing to try anything new.

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 11 – Oct 14 (exact Oct 13) Mars in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:29 AM, then decreasing fading out around 6 PM on Oct. 14. This vibrational pattern involves a flow of energy focused on doing the essential things. It will do whatever is needed to accomplish the goal.
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.}
There are no 2 planet patterns involving the Moon today
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, Uranus, Neptune: Turning Forward 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 “!!!”}
