The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 11:22 PM EDT on May 7, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Taurus.
Today, Wednesday (5/8/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon joining with Jupiter and Uranus (2*). This vibrational energy pattern involves moving from your personal awareness of yourself into the process of interacting with the world in a natural flow of experience into actually taking actions that bring changes to the world around you as you explore and interact with what is around you in order to get a better more organic understanding of your world and your life. This involves expansion of your feelings to encompass that which is around you in a free impulsive exploration that is just enjoying the experience of the elements of the world without any particular agenda or goal that you are seeking to achieve. (For VA Students: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
The Effective Response to today’s energies is to go deep into yourself and everything you are experiencing, opening up to profound connections and understandings.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
1 (2*) Doing things your own way, evaluating the ideas of others and only changing if you agree with them
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Jupiter, Uranus >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are dimly sensing that you’re one of the jewels, a part of the divine awareness, beginning to sense the highest in you as a distant potential. You are refocusing the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself discovering the value of love and gentleness yearning to connect into the buried beauty within you.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are denying the light and beauty hidden within you and only seeing the more superficial trash and garbage heap within which your true worth is buried. You are forging ahead seeking to assert your will and operating on your own desires without thought of how it affects others.

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}
May 5 – May 8 (exact May 7) the Sun in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 5 AM on May 8. This vibrational energy pattern is very aware of your responsibility to have a constructive influence on the world around you. There is a sense of the exact ways to operate that will enable you to accomplish your goals and have everyone be happy with what you accomplished.
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.}
At 11:22 PM yesterday, the Moon in Taurus is joining with the Sun in Taurus. This is the New Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 5:19 AM, peaking at 7:19 AM, the Moon in Taurus is joining with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions may be scattered and moving quickly from one thing to another. There is the possibility of sudden insights but be sure you have something to write them down on as they will be hard to remember later.
Starting at 10:30 AM, peaking at 12:30 PM, 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.
Starting at 3:55 PM, peaking at 5:55 PM, 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.
At 7:20 PM 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 8:52 PM, peaking at 10:52 PM, the Moon in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Aquarius. 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.
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 11:22 PM EDT on May 7, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on June 6, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is about reevaluation of your goals. What really are your goals? Are you accomplishing them? What are the internal motives and drives that are generating your behaviors and do these behaviors get you to the result that you really want to accomplish. There is a sense of the importance of the patterns and traditions on the past and of the need for freedom to act spontaneously in the future. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Newly Formed Continent”. This involves a sense of acceptance of yourself as a newly formed being in your own right. There is a danger that you will react to the new pattern forming within you with fear and rejection. The effective expression of this New Moon Pattern involves establishing a stable form at each point based on your current understanding while recognizing that you need to continuously revise your form as your understanding develops.
On April 8, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings us into connection with each other. We understand more and more how the life experiences of others impact our own life experiences. There is a call to support others where they need support as we also respect the importance of each person fashioning their own life pattern. There is a challenge here to learn to work together harmoniously while still respecting each person’s individual experiences and understandings. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter”. Here we are making a tentative connection into and expressing the nurturing love that is the core of this realm of manifestation. This love is always there in the depths, if we will allow ourselves to connect into it, no matter what our situation. There is a warning here about trying to manipulate others by controlling what they need that they do not have access to on their own.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind people’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
On March 19, the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is connecting into our deep emotional levels making us aware of these deep levels and bringing the potential for a reworking, a rebirth of these deep levels based on insight into what is actually going on within us. This insight may come as a result of seeking to act out of these deep levels and getting feedback from the world around us. There is the potential for a reality check on the foundations of our systems during this three month period. The Sabian Symbol for the relationship of Sun to Moon is “A Man formally dressed and a Deer with its Horns folded. This symbol recognized our more primitive aggressive instincts and shows that we use formal, polite relationship patterns to guide our interactions with other. This will enable us to gain control of our more primitive aggressive instincts. Displaying power, dominance and intimidation in this time period is going against the current energy flow and will tend to undermine the accomplishment of your goals.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period for Saturn: Turning Back of Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, Uranus, {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 “!!!”}
