The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Monday (10/16/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). The strongest vibrational energy today is restless and dissatisfied. There is a need to seek something that will be better and more satisfactory. The main tactic used in this search is analysis to determine what is really fundamental, the deeper essence of the areas you are dealing with. There is a strong need here to find and work from this fundamental level and to throw out anything else as a factor for consideration. This energy includes the tendency to work with others and share this process of getting down to the most fundamental level. (For VA Students: 11, 22)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are digging deep into the patterns, history and traditions of the past to find the forces that are controlling current beliefs and behaviors, forces that are hidden deep below the surface; evaluating the true relevance of those ancient patterns in the present; being willing to revise those patterns as appropriate. 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 entering into more profound levels of spiritual awareness, recognizing the spiritual messages in all that is around you, seeking to sort true messages from the surrounding noise as you recognize the limitations of your current experiences.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are holding onto old patterns, behaviors and rituals as being the only tried and true mode of operation, even when those patterns are harmful to yourself and others. You are misrepresenting yourself and taking advantage of others or being deceived by others who are misrepresenting themselves. You are being caught up in much busyness without any sense of organization within a confined space; pretending you’re free.

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 2 planet patterns 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 5:31 AM, peaking at 7:31 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Jupiter in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you will be feeling optimistic and expansive and wanting to expand your horizons by having new experiences and getting to know new people. This is a really good time to be involved in social interactions with other people.
Starting at 11:01 PM, peaking at 1:01 AM early October 17, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. You may be feeling pretty independent right now and more touchy about other people being in control of what you are doing. You will have a tendency to react. Right now you want to do what you feel like doing right this moment and you don’t want to worry about what other people feel about it. Remember other people are feeling the same way and give them the same space you are needing at the moment.
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 14, 2023 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy is particularly oriented towards involvement in creative groups. There is a desire to explore without an agenda and see what wonders you can find. This involves a passion for learning and applying what you have learned. There is a desire to expand emotionally at a pace you can handle effectively. There is also a need to go out and act and express yourself, make your life happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Child giving Birds a Drink at a Fountain”. This is about drawing from the fountain of spiritual nourishment, replenishing yourself and generously sharing with those around you who are not able to obtain it for themselves.
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 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.
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 “!!!”}
