The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
The Strongest Vibration today comes from Mercury joining with Neptune and Pluto (1*). This focuses on our thinking and communication. We are working deep within and other people will not even be aware of what is going on. This is like laying the foundation for future actions. We are deeply considering the dreams we have. Some dreams that a few years or even months ago seemed to be the most important thing in your life may not mean the same thing to you now. Remember this is a deep inner evaluation and you are becoming aware that some things have changed for you. You have moved into some fuller awareness of what is really meaningful to you and you are becoming aware that your life may unfold in some ways that you had not previously anticipated. And you know this is good.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
32 (0*) Deeply internalized thoughts that are not seen by others but drive action
27 (0*) Need for extreme community harmony and world peace
The Dancing 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 a lot of days in a row and there are quick Moon patterns that just impact our mood for a couple of hours either side of their exact time. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
Aug. 11 – 25 (exact Aug. 19) Jupiter in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This is a magical focus on bringing your dreams into your life in a big way. Take some time today to tap into your dreams and find one thing that you can do today that will help bring your dreams into manifestation in your life. Be careful to keep straight what is real right now versus what you are dreaming about. It can be easy with this pattern to act out of a fantasy rather than from the reality of what is actually happening.
Aug. 1 – Sept. 21 (not exact) Saturn in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This pattern is very similar to the longer Uranus and Pluto pattern above. This vibration is both focused long-term on what really lasts and spontaneous and impulsive in the moment at the same time. Since these two needs are contradictory, you get things like suddenly eliminating things from your life that you don’t think are meaningful in the long run. It is important to find ways to honor both your long-term interests and the need to be spontaneous in the moment. Recognize that both these needs are important and that they are present at the same time and that you need to make space in your life for both. Especially provide periods of time when you can be spontaneous and you will handle this better.
July 2 – Oct. 19 (exact Sept. 26) Uranus in Taurus is quiet and focused (septile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This pattern calls for focused or disciplined spontaneity. You may be feeling you are lacking spontaneity in your life and find yourself forcing yourself to be spontaneous. This is not easy and may generate some tension inside you. Any focused and spontaneous activity will help use and release this energy. Some examples are dance, group sports, tai chi, or martial arts. Also, a massage might help release built up tension.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that just impact our mood for a couple of hours either side of their exact time.}
The Moon in Libra squares Mars in Capricorn around 3:56 AM. You may find yourself more prone to be emotionally worked up right now if you are awake. Doing something active will use the energy in a constructive way. Take a walk even if it’s just around the office, do some squats, run in place, anything that uses the excess energy that is floating around right now. The Moon enters Scorpio at 4:54 AM. There is a lot of emotional intensity when the Moon is in Scorpio as it brings a need to merge with your work and with those you are close to. Around 9:29 AM the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. You may be feeling pretty independent right now and more touchy about other people being in control of what you are doing. You will have a tendency to react. Right now you want to do what you feel like doing right this moment and you don’t want to worry about what other people feel about it. Remember other people are feeling the same way and give them the same space you are needing at this time. But you only have to deal with this without help for about half an hour at the beginning of this vibration because, shortly after this around 10:06 AM, the Moon in Scorpio flows smoothly (sextiles) in a shared interaction with Saturn in Capricorn. You find it easy to accept responsibility at this time and work comfortably with others getting the things done that really need to be done. This helps to balance the independence of the Moon – Uranus vibration.
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.}
The final chapter of this current Eclipse Cycle occurred with the Partial Solar Eclipse New Moon on August 11. This eclipse cycle will continue to influence us at least until the next eclipse cycle which begins on January 5, 2019. Today’s eclipse is especially concerned with our interactions with other people and perceiving the true motives and the true essence of the people we are encountering in our lives and in the patterns of unfolding of our world. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A houseboat party”. This has to do with whether your interactions with others are relaxed and accepting of who and what everyone is. You may find yourself in some situations in the next few months where you feel trapped and like you need to behave in ways that are not comfortable or appropriate for you. The message from this eclipse is to get back in touch with your higher universal awareness and sense what it is guiding you to do.
The overview of the Current Eclipse Cycle of 3 Eclipses between July 12 and August 11. {We will be feeling the vibrational effect of the current eclipse cycle at least until the start of the next cycle on January 6, 2019. The following is the summary of the guidance from the Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}
Express your gifts as a natural outflow of who you are without feeling that you deserve special treatment. Your reactions to situations may come from problems in your past that have not been resolved with the current situation just being a trigger. You can receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and from your ancestors helping you tune into ancient wisdom and understand how it can be effective in addressing the problems you face today. This will allow you to relax into an easy flow of interaction with other people where you are accepting other people and they are accepting you. Open up to your higher universal awareness and connections and let it guide you.
The Summer Solstice was on June 21 and this energy pattern will be influencing us until September 22 when the Fall Equinox occurs. The Summer Solstice is when the Sun enters Cancer and the Summer officially begins. With the temperatures we have been seeing a lot of places, it looks like the Summer has gotten off to a running start. This summer there is a strong emphasis on taking action that will benefit the community and bring peace and healing. People will not be willing to sacrifice their sense of what is right and ultimately meaningful but they will value operating in peaceful cooperative ways to achieve their goals. In the midst of all this it is important for each of us to take some time out to just be in the moment and relax and play in a creative way.
The Retrograde Diary
Uranus turning backwards, Mars, Neptune, Pluto in Retrograde, Mercury, Saturn turning forward, Jupiter in Final Resolution
{There are issues that each planet focuses on during the period leading up to its retrograde (apparent backwards movement) period. These issues are addressed again to be worked on during the retrograde period [in brackets] then a new understanding of these issues occurs during the post retrograde period.). This is not Vibrational Astrology, it 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.}
Mercury: {July 8 [July 26 – Aug 19] Sept 2, 2018}
Aug. 16 – 21: (12-11 Leo) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to branch out to explore a broader interaction pattern and experience an expansion of your awareness, learning to stop getting caught up in superficiality, appearances and social issues ignoring real and immediate issues
Mars: {May 13 [June 27 – Aug 27] Oct. 8}
Aug. 12 – 19: (30-29 Cap) Reworking: Working on being able to reach a level of expertise where you operate from true authority and are participating in and managing the hidden realities of the world, learning to stop failing to claim your true authority and blocking yourself off from awareness of the deeper realities around you
Jupiter {Dec. 12, 2017 [Mar. 10 – July 10] Oct. 6}
Aug. 13 – 22: (15-16 Sco) Resolution: Remember to recognize and openly and joyfully welcome an integration of the many aspects of yourself with a resulting awesome sense of wholeness that reaches out and includes others, learning to stop pretending to be happy for the sake of others while not being able to accept the needs and desires within you hiding your true feelings
Saturn {Jan. 10 [Apr. 17 – Sept. 6] Dec. 12}
Aug. 13 – Sept. 30: (3-2 Cap) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to open to new growth in areas where there has been misuse of authority, learning to stop refusing to grow and holding onto abusive patterns and misunderstandings
Uranus {Apr. 20 [Aug. 7 – Jan. 6, 2019] Apr. 23, 2019}
July 1 – Sept. 14: (2-3 Tau) Turning Back: The Issue is to move in a natural progression of steps, learning and growing and opening yourself to the experience of wonder and beauty, learning to stop getting fascinated by your vision and caught in that fantasy rather than doing the work to climb the steps and experience the reality
Neptune {Feb. 6 [June 18 – Nov. 25] Mar. 15, 2019}
Aug. 2 – Sept. 10: (16-15 Pis) Reworking: Working on being able to connect into the flow of spiritual inspiration within yourself being flexible and open to that which you have not previously known or experienced, learning to stop closing up and being caught in a cycle of negativity that limits your perceptions and shuts you off from others
Pluto {Dec. 31, 2017 [Apr. 22 – Sept. 30] Jan. 21, 2019}
July 13 – Aug. 29: (20-19 Cap) Reworking: Working on being able to be guided by hidden messages that may not be apparent to others that attune you to the spiritual realms, learning to stop fooling yourself and others as you rationalize your personal beliefs and attitudes as being divine messages that make you special and better than those around you
