The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 11:29 PM EDT on October 21 the First Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra.
Yesterday and today, Saturday (10/21/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Pluto (2*). The strongest vibrational energy today is intensely focused in concentrated thought patterns and working to develop the area it is involved in. There is a sense of obsessive focus that is all you can think about. This involves a drive to act on these ideas. The action may be so focused on what you want to do that you are blind to the effects on others. However, the energy includes the potential to focus on acting in an effective way that takes into account others while at the same time taking into account the deep patterns within you that are driving you. (For VA Students: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
4 (2*) Motivation & Drive
22 (1*) Restless, Impatience shared with others, May feel stifled by others
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Pluto >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are seeing an overview of the world from an objective perspective, enabling you to better understand the swirling patterns of consequences and relationships around you and then translating that into practical everyday realities. You are sensing brightening influences around you that release your depressive feelings, bringing a new hope and an opening up, enabling you to release your feelings of being alone and somehow forsaken. 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 seeking to disconnect from the everyday world, seeking to escape the reality or the consequences of your personal situation which can result in you crashing into the realities you have been running from. You are closing off to the positive shifts happening, refusing to let go of your pain, unable to believe that things can get any better. You are being caught up in much busyness without any sense of organization within a confined space; pretending you’re free.
27 Libra = Sun merging with Mercury [An airplane hovering overhead] You are seeing an overview of the world from an objective perspective, enabling you to better understand the swirling patterns of consequences and relationships around you and then translating that into practical everyday realities and/or you are seeking to disconnect from the everyday world, seeking to escape the reality or the consequences of your personal situation which can result in you crashing into the realities you have been running from
28 Libra = Mercury interacting with Pluto [A man in the midst of brightening influences] You are sensing brightening influences around you that release your depressive feelings, bringing a new hope and an opening up, enabling you to release your feelings of being alone and somehow forsaken and/or you are closing off to the positive shifts happening, refusing to let go of your pain, unable to believe that things can get any better
28 Capricorn = Pluto interacting with Mercury [A large aviary] 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 and/or 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}
Oct 21 – Oct 23 (exact Oct 22) Mercury in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 10 PM on Oct 21 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at12:12 PM on Oct. 22 then decreasing fading out around 2:30 AM on Oct. 23. This vibrational pattern is analytical seeking to uncover the fundamental patterns and essence of each situation you are in.
Oct 21 – Oct 22 (exact Oct 22) Venus in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 3 AM on Oct 21 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:32 AM on Oct. 22 then decreasing fading out around 10 PM on Oct. 22. This vibrational pattern really appreciates rich expansive beauty. This is a good time to go to a place or relate to people that bring you this feeling of amazing beauty.
Oct 20 – Oct 22 (exact Oct 21) the Sun in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:09 AM then decreasing fading out around 10:30 AM on Oct. 22. This vibrational pattern focuses on what it considers to be its mission and purpose, the things that it views as fundamental and essential. It is absolutely committed to following this path.
Oct 20 – Oct 21 (exact Oct 20) Mercury in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 11:30 AM on Oct. 21. This vibration is intensely focused on a particular set of ideas and cannot consider anything else. They are going to take action on their ideas no matter what other people think of them. If they are blocked, a high level of frustration is likely and could result in making some miscalculations.
Oct 18 – Oct 21 (exact Oct 20) the Sun in Libra is joining with Mercury in Libra. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 1 PM on Oct. 21. This vibration brings a sense of clarity to your thinking process supporting the making of many mental connections.
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 10:21 AM, peaking at 12:21 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in an organic way based on a sense of objective awareness
Starting at 4:17 PM, peaking at 6:17 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period could bring a distracted dreamy feeling when you are not really sharply focused. Instead you may find yourself day-dreaming about what you would like your life to be like. This is a good time to dream, but not a good time to act on those dreams. Wait until you are thinking more clearly.
Starting at 8:33 PM, peaking at 10:33 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is likely to bring some deep intense emotional feelings with perhaps an awareness of older patterns that are influencing your reactions right now.
At 11:29 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Libra. This is the First Quarter Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
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.}
At 11:29 PM EDT on October 21 the First Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational energy is acting based on a compelling need for your personal sense of beauty and proportion. This can involve an irrational response. There is a restless seeking, a reaching out seeking direct participation in a rich expansive beauty that flows among all the people involved. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Humanity seeking to Bridge the Span of Knowledge”. This involves reaching out to span the generations and being open to the transfer of knowledge from others as you are seeking to transfer your knowledge to others. The Moon Symbol is “A Woman reading Tea Leaves” which brings greater clarity about the hidden level of reality as you open up your intuitive awareness and put aside your skepticism so that you are able to take responsibility for your impact on everything around you.
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: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Uranus >> 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 “!!!”}
