The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Friday (12/20/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Uranus (1*). This vibrational energy pattern is about interacting with the world around you, exploring whatever you are attracted to. You may well shift things around and combine different things you are exploring together in new ways that do new and unexpected things. This energy involves doing your exploration spontaneously in the moment seeking to accomplish new and different things. (For VA Students: 5, 10, 15)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by giving your curiosity free range. Go out there and find out about whatever you are attracted to. Tune into the universal core form of your interest and adjust it to more closely express its true essence. And keep reaching out seeking new and different ways to do this.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mars, Uranus >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are working hard to cleanse and recondition yourself, cutting through to reveal the formalized beauty hidden within the ragged overgrown expanses within you. You are seeking to balance tried and true patterns with new, innovative patterns looking for the most effective and wisest course of action. You are being willing to sacrifice yourself and your own needs to be a representative of the divine essence. You are recognizing your failures and the damage your blindness has done to others, facing it in this current moment; accepting responsibility for the damage you have done and seeking to make amends.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being caught up in superficial appearances and not doing the things that need to be done to maintain either your internal or external environment. You are being attached to a particular point of view; being threatened by anything that challenges it. You are being caught up in your own self importance and desire for power, getting off on displaying yourself as the ultimate authority. You are getting caught up in your sense of pride and aggressively claiming what you desire without any concern for the effect your behavior has on 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}
Dec 19, 2024 – Jan 2, 2025 (exact Dec 24) Jupiter in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:59 PM on Dec. 24 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on Dec. 30. This vibrational energy pattern a sense of taking action based on disciplined expansion. This is a time when you can grow and develop new ways to take action and accomplish your goals.
Dec 19 – Dec 20 (exact Dec 19) Venus in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Gemini. This energy is decreasing fading out around 4 PM on Dec. 20. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of rich expansive beauty to be explored and connected in with. Go where you have these feelings and celebrate the beauty around you.
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 10:19 PM, peaking at 12:19 AM early December 20, the Moon in Leo is flowing freely (trine) with the Sun in Sagittarius. In this 4 hr period your mood and emotional feelings are likely to be balanced and soft and you are just more likely to feel in harmony with yourself. This is a good time to engage in projects you need to do.
At 2:37 AM the Moon enters Virgo and is there for 2 ½ days bringing the sense of an elusive perfection that you would like to express here on earth. This can result in a desire to fix things that are not working the way they “should”.
Starting at 4:46 PM, peaking at 6:46 PM, the Moon in Virgo is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period involves your emotions and moods stimulating your mind and results in you needing to balance your mind and emotions in order to act in clear constructive ways. It is important for you to pay attention to your feelings and your thoughts on whatever is happening now and remember to think before you act.
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 December 15, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 30, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings an inclination to see the past as beautiful and as the guide to living today. There is a feeling of devotion to the mother and a valuing of things with a long history seeing them as beautiful. There is the potential here to work with the world around you exploring and interacting seeking to rearrange things in better patterns. There may also be a desire to shift the world around you into a more spiritual way of operating where the value of each person is honored. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bluebird standing at the Door of the House” which is about celebrating your new land and feeling at home and comfortable as you are affirming and accepting the blessings and happiness offered. Focus on gratitude for what you have rather than looking for some other place that is better and failing to see the blessings and happiness right at your door. The Moon Symbol is “Children skating on Ice”. This is about putting into practice the skills that you’ve developed, maneuvering cheerfully and flexibly through difficult and demanding environments, learning to watch for signs of possible danger. Be aware that it is possible for everything to collapse at any time. There is a caution here to not recklessly rush into situations without evaluating them to determine how safe they are.
On December 1, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Sagittarius. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 30, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is expansive and helps you to be aware of the big picture. This is a time for carefully formulating long term plans that will be a true expression of who you are. These plans can be implemented at the proper time. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Golden-Haired Goddess of Opportunity” which indicates that the fantastic opportunities that you are perceiving need to be carefully evaluated and responded to appropriately. There is a potential here for opening the door to fulfillment, experiencing great success, and making opportunities available to others as well as yourself. If you do not evaluate the validity of the opportunities in front of you, you can be easily exploited by others.
On October 2, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern shows a strong need for the freedom to express yourself as you feel inside. This involves the development of your own unique pattern of expression being within your culture but free to operate as who you truly are with the awarenesses you have developed. If this is blocked there is likely to be a strong sense of dissatisfaction where you join with others and reach out seeking to find another more satisfactory place. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Professor peering over his Glasses” which encourages you to move beyond your normal mode of perception to perceive a more comprehensive reality where others are viewed kindly, seriously and with respect.. The challenge is to not get caught up in a superior position that distorts your perception and leads to you seeing others as inferior to you where they need to be bossed around for their own good.
On September 22, the Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a strong need to live life in a harmonious flow. This is a visceral need which you will seek to meet in the way you deal with the people around you. If you feel you are trapped in a situation that is not flowing for you there is the potential for violence. You are likely to be especially sensitive, impulsive and driven during this time period. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon interaction is “A Muse weighing Twins”. This relates to weighing and evaluating the rational and irrational levels within you and realizing that they are reflections of each other. This is an opportunity to begin to understand that you need to learn to establish a balance between them based on a higher more expansive level of awareness within you that transcends both of them.
On September 17, 2024, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on dreams and ideals that last past death. This is about tuning into the long term patterns of unfolding evolving awareness that transcend the resistance of the moment. There is a major focus in this eclipse on evaluation of your motives and drives to be sure you are getting the result you want. There is also a balancing of your individual view of life against what works for everyone else. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Boy with a Censer” which involves learning how to expand your awareness and accept responsibility for both yourself and your interactions with others by modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed. The Moon Symbol is “A New Moon that divides its Influences” which involves learning how 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. If you do not realize that everyone is connected you may start feeling alone and isolated.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Reworking of Mars, Jupiter: Turning Forward of 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 “!!!”}
