The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Monday (12/23/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Neptune (1*). This vibrational energy pattern is about relating to other people’s stories. You are especially interested in the dreams that people have for how their life could be better. You can help people reach out and seek to make their dreams come true. (For VA Students:17)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by developing it naturally evolving at your own pace. Combine reaching out further and further, never being satisfied with your results with being deeply involved, merging with each thing you are doing.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
28 (2*) Driven to face the challenge of acting in ways that express the truth which is deep within you
17 (2*) Interest in other’s stories that inclines to many possible outcomes, such as involvement in theater, literature, counseling or personal performance.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mars, Neptune >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are becoming aware that power struggles damage you and others and opening up to the possibility of learning new ways to use power and authority. You are standing at the edge of a precipice with no way to turn back, recognizing that the rigid positions you have been holding onto have trapped you and that you have been ignoring the dangers of those positions, and so you decide to look for a way to let go and open up constructively. You are experiencing a sense of fullness, completion and wholeness as you tune into the fertile potency within you that enables you to manifest anything you truly desire.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are refusing to grow, holding onto abusive patterns and misunderstandings. You are putting yourself in danger of falling over the edge of the precipice because of desperately holding onto your current patterns; being unwilling to change even when you feel the ground eroding beneath your feet. You are being caught up in pride and possessiveness, jealously trying to protect all that is yours and failing.

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.
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 8:59 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:59 PM yesterday, the Moon in Libra is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Leo. In this 4 hr period you want to express your emotions in an active harmonious way sharing with others. This is a great time for group activities or meetings or for social sharing or for team sports.
Starting at 9:22 AM, peaking at 11:22 AM, the Moon in Libra is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period brings a focus on thinking and communicating those thoughts, so writing down your thoughts, and possibly communicating what you are thinking about in a discussion or just sitting and thinking for a while would be profitable. This has the emotions and the mind interacting well and is a good time to work on important projects.
Starting at 4:51 PM, peaking at 6:51 PM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Gemini. In this 4 hr period there is a sense of emotional openness and expansion within you. This can feel either good or bad depending on what your general feeling at the time is but it will tend to be optimistic.
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 21, the Sun entered Capricorn. This is the Winter Solstice and this pattern will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy includes energies for emotional expansion. There is a focus on internal work and awareness where you evaluate and develop your internal self. The process would be to eliminate superficial energies from within yourself and to work on deepening your internal awareness and connections. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “The Germ grows into Knowledge and Life”. Here you find a germ of potential understanding within you and you work on developing and growing that new awareness, expanding your knowledge and connection with life. There are potential problems if you let your insecurity keep you from opening up to the broader truths in the situation.
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 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: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> 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 “!!!”}
