The Vibrational Astrology Diary

Mercury enters its shadow today, November 25, 2023: See Retrograde Diary
Today, Saturday (11/25/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Venus joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). The strongest vibrational energy involves a sense of dissatisfaction with your life and your world as it is. There is a sense that there is a better, more loving, more balanced way to live life somewhere other than under the conditions you now are experiencing. This brings a need to search for this better more balanced place to be both within yourself and in your world. This involves figuring out what is fundamental and essential and focusing on that. There is a sense of a beauty and love that underlies life and a recognition of the importance of focusing on this fundamental reality. (For VA Students: 11, 22)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Saturn, Pluto >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are revealing the essence of yourself in all its beauty and distortions, tapping into the basic elements of life, letting go of fear and expectations of judgment, celebrating the beauty of yourself and everything around you and being renewed and revitalized. 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. You are beginning to read, with great clarity, the hidden level of reality, putting aside your skepticism, opening to your intuitive awareness, taking responsibility for your impact on everything around you.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are putting up a front, covering up your true essence, while keeping a distance from others in order to keep your deception from being discovered. 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. You are superstitiously depending on signs around you and blindly following these signs, not taking responsibility for your life or your decisions.

29 Capricorn = Pluto [A woman reading tea leaves] You are beginning to read, with great clarity, the hidden level of reality, putting aside your skepticism, opening to your intuitive awareness, taking responsibility for your impact on everything around you and/or you are superstitiously depending on signs around you and blindly following these signs, not taking responsibility for your life or your decisions
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}
Nov 24 – Nov 26 (exact Nov 25) Mars in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:57 AM on Nov. 25 then decreasing fading out around 11:30 PM on Nov. 26. This vibrational energy pattern is about doing the things that need to be done to be effective in reaching your goals. This includes being willing to make changes and do new things that other people have not even dreamed of.
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 2:42 AM, peaking at 4:42 AM, the Moon in Taurus is joining with Jupiter in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings a time when you will feel emotionally expansive and want to share with others in a big way. Enjoy this lovely expansive energy. If something unpleasant happens take care to not overreact.
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 November 20, 2023, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Scorpio. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on November 27, 2023. This vibrational energy pattern involves tremendous levels of drive combined with a very refined sense of what is really important. This is especially focused on being able to focus your personal drives to enable you to express what is deep within you. This is about you tapping into the deep truth that you came into life to express and actually being able to break through the barriers to that expression. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The King of the Fairies approaching his Domain” which is about you approaching an understanding of your true essence, the domain within the core of your being where you’re truly and confidently in command of yourself and your world. Remember that if you find yourself seeking to control others, this shows the insecurity and lack of connection within you with who you truly are. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Tree felled and sawed”. Here you have the opportunity to release old ego patterns and to move into service to others as a primary focus.
On November 13, 2023, the New Moon occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Scorpio. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 12, 2023. This vibration energy is very highly charged with the potential for quick and possibly volatile actions. It is important to be very present in the moment during this time period. There is also the possibility for sudden beauty and acts of kindness. You make this period a reflection of your soul and spirit. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Soldier derelict in Duty”. This speaks to rigid, intolerable patterns of duty and obligation that can compromise your personal integrity. This symbol calls you to follow your personal integrity rather than violate it for the sake of duty and obligation. You are challenged to evaluate what you are doing and hold it to a higher standard that comes from your deepest being.
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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury enters its shadow >> Introductory Phase of Mercury: Reworking of Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Forward of Saturn, Neptune: Resolution 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 “!!!”}
