The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Monday (7/1/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Mars (1*). The strongest vibrational energy pattern today is involved in exploration and interaction with the world around you and especially with a certain area that you are enjoying playing with. This play develops an organic sense of what you are dealing with that brings a deeper understanding of how these things fit together. There is a lot of energy focused in the mind here and a strong interest in learning how these things work. The exploration and related learning is likely to lead to a need to act on what you have learned. (For VA Students: 20)
An Effective Way to use this current vibrational energy pattern is to tune into the universal patterns and use them as a model for what you are manifesting here on earth. You are encouraged to go do what you feel drawn to inside of you without worrying about what others will think about it and to build yourself a safe space where you can freely be yourself and be accepted as yourself.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
20 (1*) A need to take action related to playful, creative organic exploration
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Mars >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are stepping back from the issues you have discovered within you, using humor to help you disconnect from the intense feelings and blocks that you’re finding within you enabling you to find a path for healing. You are having complicated, contradictory feelings within you especially insecurity, fear of disapproval and anxiety which you seek to deal with through a temporary retreat where you sort things out one at a time. You are engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting so tangled up in the intense feelings within you that you’re staying painfully stuck in your problems. You are being overwhelmed by the intense contradictory pressure of insecurity, fear of disapproval and anxiety within you having it either burst out in the excessive response of an over-inflated ego or create a block within you so that you are unable to function, possibly temporarily losing consciousness. You are refusing to claim your power and surrendering to the domination and control of 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}
Jul 1 – Jul 3 (exact Jul 2) Mercury in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 6:30 PM on July 1 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7:53 AM on July 2 then decreasing fading out around 10 PM on July 2. This vibrational energy pattern brings ideas that are amazing, wonderful, fascinating. There is a sense of the ways that new ideas can connect you into whole new worlds
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 10:56 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:56 AM early July 1, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Cancer. In this 4 hr period you will feel a lightening of your mood with your emotions flowing easily in interaction with others. A meeting or a social gathering would be smoother and easier right now.
Starting at 10:19 AM, peaking at 12:19 PM, the Moon in Taurus is joining with Mars in Taurus. In this 4 hr period when the Moon and Mars join together the emotions get a lot of energy and there is a desire to go out and take action. If something blocks that action there may be feelings of anger.
Starting at 12:42 PM, peaking at 2:42 PM, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Cancer. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, especially those with whom you feel a soul connection.
Starting at 3:27 PM, peaking at 5:27 PM, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you find it easy to accept responsibility and work comfortably with others getting the things done that really need to be done.
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 June 28, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 5, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a potential for development of community awareness. This is about exploring the things that are happening around you and seeking to see the real nature of what is happening in the core, the fundamental pattern underneath all of the fluff. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Rabbits dressed in Clothes and on Parade”. This is about new levels of awareness that are beginning to form within you but the are so new they are still uncomfortable. You are encouraged to go ahead and develop these new awarenesses. It is important that you not let your feelings of discomfort keep you from opening up to the new patterns you are experiencing. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Large Hat with Sreamers flying, facing East” which is about flying towards your destination point and energizing a new level of awareness. Both of these symbols speak of a potential for new awareness. Whatever you do to help you open up, this is the time for it.
On June 21, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 5, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is encouraging us to take action on our dreams. There is a sense of something amazing around the corner if we will just seize upon it. This pattern recommends going inside yourself and working on developing your inner structure and then reaching out to discover new and different experiences interacting with and exploring your interests so that a new organic awareness grows within you. This is something you can’t force, you just explore without an agenda and open yourself to whatever you may learn. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Man suspended over a Vast Level Place”. This reminds us that we have to walk through the paths and directly experience the realm within us in order to discover who we are. And also we need to explore the world around us seeking to find where we belong. The Symbol for the Moon is “Three Stained-Glass Windows, one damaged by bombardment”. This is a call to repair the damage done to love and beauty by aggressive violence. We can work on healing the deep wounds and blockages within us. This enables us to gain the strength and openness to accept love within us and to give it to others.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a potential for rebirth of the experience of beauty in our everyday life. There is a challenge to adjust and rebirth our dreams and visions. There is a strong sense of smooth flowing development and refinement of the inner self. This is a time to interact and explore on a deep inner level. This gives the potential for new patterns to form organically within you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon distance is “An Orangutan” which points to each of us sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within us. We are recognizing the need to refine and guide these forces into more mature expression. There is the possibility of distortion if you take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people.
On June 14, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Gemini. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on June 21, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is about expansion and growth coming as you see the big picture and operate responsibly doing what is essential. You are learning to recognize when your emotional patterns are more about past events than about what is actually happening right now in the present. There is an emphasis in this week on identifying patterns that are not serving you well and being able to revise them. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Unsealed Letter” which represents you opening the door into a deeper level that has been sealed up. You can more clearly see the many hidden distortions and illusions within you. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Peacock parading on an Ancient Lawn”. This is encouraging you to celebrate your body as an unfolding of natural beauty and delightful rightness . It reminds you that your body is an expression of the ancient supporting foundation pattern in the core of your being. Your challenge is to learn how to tap into and more effectively manifest your core.
On June 6, 2024, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 5, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern involves a strong almost compulsive need to connect into and celebrate what you value from the past. At the same time there is an opportunity to tune into the big picture and more clearly see how the past is affecting the present. There is also a sense of dissatisfaction that you are sharing with others and a feeling of restlessness that you need to go and look in other places for better answers than you have now. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The Head of Health dissolved into the Head of Mentality”. The challenge is to disconnect from your emotions to realize that they are signals of something going on within or around you, but they are often referring to the past rather than the present. You can learn to have your mind guide you rather than your emotions. There is a danger of getting caught up in illusions that are immature emotional responses that are related to how you believe things should be, rather than dealing with what is happening directly clearly in the present.
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.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period for Uranus: Turning Back of Saturn, Neptune: Reworking 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 “!!!”}
