The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Yesterday and today, Sunday (1/7/2024),the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Neptune and Pluto (1*). This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on perceiving the unique gifts and awareness of the people around you and for yourself. There is a need to dig down deep inside of yourself bypassing any barriers that prevent you from connecting with yourself. You are seeking to operate out of the real, genuine, true, deep levels within you. There is also a desire here to help others develop the special awareness that they bring to each situation and to help them express their important gifts. Here there is a sense of a dream you can follow, that is very compelling to you. This feels like something you must do at this time. This also involves you sharing your special level of awareness and unique gifts with others. It is a special privilege to help someone connect in with and share their deeper self. (For VA Students: 13, 26)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
13 (1*) Internally focused on expressing your true self and moving Beyond Average or Mediocre
26 (1*) Moves Beyond Average or Mediocre in interactions with others
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Neptune, Pluto >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are repairing the damage done to love and beauty by aggressive violence, healing the deep wounds and blockages within you, gaining the strength and openness to accept love within yourself and give it to others. You are beginning to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision. You are reaching a level of expertise where you operate from true authority and are participating in and managing the world’s hidden realities.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are feeling obsessively afraid, damaged and totally vulnerable, without protection, having no place to run or hide. You are feeling alone and isolated, fearing disconnection from others if you’re true to yourself, failing to see the underlying reality in which everyone is connected. You are failing to claim your true authority as you block yourself off from awareness of the deeper realities around you and within you.
2 Capricorn = Mars [Three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment] You are repairing the damage done to love and beauty by aggressive violence, healing the deep wounds and blockages within you, gaining the strength and openness to accept love within yourself and give it to others and/or you are feeling obsessively afraid, damaged and totally vulnerable, without protection, having no place to run or hide
26 Pisces = Neptune [A new moon that divides its influences] You are beginning to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision and/or you are feeling alone and isolated, fearing disconnection from others if you’re true to yourself, failing to see the underlying reality in which everyone is connected
30 Capricorn = Pluto [A secret business conference] You are reaching a level of expertise where you operate from true authority and are participating in and managing the world’s hidden realities and/or you are failing to claim your true authority as you block yourself off from awareness of the deeper realities around you and within you
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}
Jan 7 – Jan 10 (exact Jan 8) Mercury in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 11 AM on Jan. 7 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:24 PM on Jan. 8 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on Jan. 10. This vibrational energy pattern is about taking action to manifest fascinating new ideas that are so extraordinary they seem to be out of this world.
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 5:21 AM, peaking at 7:21 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams, they are living inside you and you are feeling them. You may find yourself daydreaming more than usual. You can use this time to get deeply in touch with your dreams and draw inspiration from them to help you make them more real.
Starting at 1:22 PM, peaking at 3:22 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period there is an easier connection into deeply buried feelings than at other times. There is an opportunity here to share these deep levels with your friends and to be open to them sharing their deep feelings with you. This exchange can sometimes have a healing quality and reduce the pain within you and your friends.
At 4:08 PM, the Moon enters Sagittarius. The Moon in Sagittarius brings exuberant feelings and a desire to explore your external world and your internal world. This 2 ½ days is a great time to explore someplace you have never been or to learn something new that you have been wondering about.
Starting at 9:11 PM, peaking at 11:11 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius 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 January 3, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Capricorn. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on January 11, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a desire to find the Truth in this moment. There is a sense of an electrical energy that is charging our world and our experiences. This is related to the need to grow and evolve in an organic way like a plant and to then take action based on this growth in our awareness. There is the potential here for personal realizations that can show us what the big actions are that we need to take at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An ancient bas-relief carved in granite”. This reminds us that we need to open up to and embrace the ancient awarenesses and truths that have been preserved for future generations. This can provide a solid foundation for your life it you apply these ancient truths in a flexible way in the present. The Moon Symbols is “A Noon Siesta” which points to the importance of taking time to relax in order to reflect and process so that you can be refreshed and be able to interact with others more effectively.
On December 26, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Capricorn. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on January 11, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a strong emphasis on growth and expansion. There is a sense of your interactions bringing a natural flow of expansion. There is a strong emphasis in this Full Moon on interacting with others in harmonious flowing exchanges. The community is a likely source of support, especially certain people in your community that you are especially involved with. It is important to evaluate the communities you are involved in and determine whether you are in resonance with the communities you relate in. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Indians rowing a Canoe and dancing a War Dance” which is about learning to recognize that there are many viewpoints that all need to be understood and appreciated. There is a danger here of joining with like-minded people and threatening those who do not share your views and perspectives on life. The Symbol for the Moon is “An Automobile wrecked by a Train”. Here you are challenged to look realistically at what is going on around you so you can see the dangers and move to a safer place. If you let yourself get distracted by your feelings so you cannot clearly see what is going on around you, you may not be able to protect yourself from the dangers around you. The challenge is to be clear and aware over the next two weeks.
On December 21 the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 19. This is the shortest day of the year. After the Winter Solstice the days start getting longer and by the Spring Equinox the temperature starts to catch up with the lengthening days. The Solstice brings a flow of unfolding energy that contains the potential for a rebirth in our understanding of both the past and the present. There is a sense of being called to walk in harmony with the people and the world around us as we tune into what is really fundamental and foundational. The Vibration between the Sun and the Moon gives us the Sabian Symbol of “A Case of Apoplexy”. Apoplexy is an old name for something like a stroke where you are temporarily unconscious from an overload in your system. This speaks to very contradictory feelings wanting to express but feeling anxious and fearing disapproval. This is about facing that which is within you that may be inhibiting your ability to truly express what you are. You are meant to shine as a reflection of the one light connecting into something beyond yourself.
On December 12 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 11, 2024. This vibrational energy is aware of the importance of balancing your needs against the needs of others especially when you are trying to accomplish a goal. Seeking to be aware of and relate to the patterns you see around you will help you work more effectively. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Flag that turns into an Eagle that crows”. This is about letting go of established alliances and moving into a new sense of spiritual connections that teaches you to celebrate your unique individuality. It is important to not use your power and influence to push views on others that would not be good for them.
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 occurred 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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Turning Forward of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Resolution of Mercury, 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 “!!!”}
