The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
For the last three days and today, Monday (10/30/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Jupiter (2*). This vibrational energy is out there interacting with the world. The mind is especially active and there is a desire to study and learn new things and then take big actions. That action may be an expression of your inner needs and drives where you take action without taking others into account or it may be a much more aware action where you have a sense of how others will respond and what will work the best for both you and the others involved. There is a strong desire to work in harmony with others. (For VA Students: 2, 4, 6, 8)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are drilling out deep decay, filling in the holes, replacing missing parts, returning your structure to its proper functional form, and learning how you can continue to keep it in good shape. You are finding yourself in over your head, admitting it, accepting help in order to learn to better ground yourself, taking responsibility for learning to be more effective. You are opening to a growing awareness of all the opportunities and possibilities available to you.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are digging in deeper and deeper causing more damage as you go by refusing to change your beliefs and behaviors in order to stop creating harm. You are being inundated, swamped and overwhelmed, drowning and panicking repeatedly, losing control of yourself and becoming hysterical, but denying this and refusing any help. You are feeling inadequate and discouraged by the impossibility of getting what you desire.
9 Scorpio = Mercury [Dental work] You are drilling out deep decay, filling in the holes, replacing missing parts, returning your structure to its proper functional form, and learning how you can continue to keep it in good shape and/or you are digging in deeper and deeper causing more damage as you go by refusing to change your beliefs and behaviors in order to stop creating harm
11 Scorpio = Mars [A drowning man rescued] You are finding yourself in over your head, admitting it, accepting help in order to learn to better ground yourself, taking responsibility for learning to be more effective and/or you are being inundated, swamped and overwhelmed, drowning and panicking repeatedly, losing control of yourself and becoming hysterical, but denying this and refusing any help
12 Taurus = Jupiter [Window-shoppers] You are opening to a growing awareness of all the opportunities and possibilities available to you and/or you are feeling inadequate and discouraged by the impossibility of getting what you desire
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 30 – Nov 1 (exact Oct 31) Venus in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 11 AM on Oct. and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:51 AM on Oct. 31 then decreasing fading out around 1 PM on Nov. 1. This vibrational pattern brings a seeking of beauty and tremendous excitement when it is found. This can be any kind of beauty that speaks to your soul and spirit. It is often felt as a sudden intense romantic attraction. Remember that it may be a passing intense attraction that will fade when this energy passes. Although sometimes it opens a door into amazing experiences. You just have to wait a few days and see.
Oct 28 – Oct 30 (exact Oct 29) Mercury in Scorpio is joining with Mars in Scorpio. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 1PM on Oct. 30. This vibrational pattern brings the opportunity to develop your mind and to put energy into learning something that is of interest to you. This is an especially good time to spend learning new things.
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 12:50 AM, peaking at 2:50 AM, the Moon in Taurus 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 5:35 AM, peaking at 7:35 AM, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period deep feelings within you that you have buried could affect your mood. Be aware that you may be reacting to the past rather than the present. Ask yourself if you have felt this way in the past and when and with whom. Be prepared to walk away from a situation if you get triggered.
At 11:08 AM the Moon enters Gemini bringing 2 ½ days where your mood may be light hearted and you may just feel like exploring your world especially in combination with spending time with friends. This is a wonderful time to stop and smell the roses or walk down the main drag in your town go into some of the shops you have never been in to just learn what they are doing. You may discover something really exciting.
Starting at 10:04 AM, peaking at 12:04 PM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period is a time when you want to focus on what is really important in your life and take actions to support those things. This could involve things like working on long-term projects or cleaning out the things that are not important. So this is a good time to clean up something that has been bothering you.
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 28 the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on Mar 25, 2024. This vibrational energy brings a deep desire to expand your emotional connections and to learn new and different things. There is an underlying whisper of dreams of beauty and exotic experiences. There may be some tendency to project your dreams into the world and not know what is real and what is not. There is a strong need to participate in a new and different worldview that will at least give the hope of involvement in a creative community. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Gold Rush” which can represent you going out into the rugged dangerous depths of yourself and seeking to break up the rigid structures within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. The Moon Symbols is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge”. Here is the opportunity to build a bridge that will cross the abyss and connect you to the next level of awareness. This is not something we can do by ourselves, but if you ask for help from spirit, you will receive it.
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: Jupiter >> 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 “!!!”}
