The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Thursday (1/16/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Jupiter (1*). This vibrational energy pattern is about you moving out seeking to accomplish your goals in a way that other people can relate to. You may slow down or even stop your activity if other people are getting upset about what you are doing. Sometimes you will spend time evaluating your goals and whether the actions you are taking are really accomplishing what you want to see happen. This is about taking big expansive actions that will have a significant impact. (For VA Students: 8, 16)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by merging deeply with whatever you are involved in while maintaining a sense of objective distance as you are reaching out and curiously exploring whatever you might be attracted to in the moment.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mars, Jupiter >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring a deeper level of spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. You are becoming aware of and observing the storms deep within you that come from the unresolved issues and undeveloped, more primitive aspects of yourself. You are asserting your independence, openly expressing the deeper feelings within you, in defiance of the expectations of those around you.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position. You are responding emotionally in increasingly turbulent ways, being caught up in unexpected emotional turmoil within you that may escalate into disaster. You are covertly acting out your resentment, failing to stand up for yourself.

27 Cancer = Mars [A storm in a canyon] You are becoming aware of and observing the storms deep within you that come from the unresolved issues and undeveloped, more primitive aspects of yourself and/or you are responding emotionally in increasingly turbulent ways, being caught up in unexpected emotional turmoil within you that may escalate into disaster

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}
Jan 16 – Jan 18 (exact Jan 17) the Sun in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This energy begins to influence us around 6:30 AM on Jan. 16 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:20 AM on Jan. 17 then decreasing fading out around 6 AM on Jan. 18. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of the magical into everyday life. You see the amazing energy of life moving all around you and you are deeply inspired by these visions.
Jan 15 – Jan 16 (exact Jan 15) the Sun in Capricorn is opposing Mars in Cancer. This energy is decreasing fading out around 3 PM on Jan. 16. This vibrational energy pattern is about achieving something that will reorganize some of your experiences in the world as you seek to be true to your personal 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 9:10 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:10 PM yesterday, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next moment and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”
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 January 13, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Capricorn. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 29. This vibrational energy pattern is very energetic with a drive to take actions that will follow your dreams and a strong need to be free and to act from your own freedom in the moment. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Oriental-Rug Dealer”. This is about seeing the value of the genuine, precious, beautiful and useful essence within the core of each person including yourself. The symbol for the Moon is “A Dark Shadow or Mantle thrown suddenly over the Right Shoulder. This is about opening to a connection that overshadows you. There is a sense of a greater authority that is calling on you to transcend ego and logical rationalization and open to spiritual power. Your challenge is to learn to assume responsibility for using the power that has been given to you wisely and with humility.
On December 30, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Capricorn. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 29. This vibrational energy is about taking impulsive actions based on what you are attracted to. There is a tendency to operate out of your internal sense of what you need to do to respond in uncertain situations without regard for the ideas of others. At the same time you are likely to be involved with other people and what is happening in their lives. Your response to these situations may well be unique and surprising. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An Albatross feeding from the Hand”. This is about facing the aspects of yourself that might feel like burdens or curses and becoming aware of the fears that lie below them. You are called to seek to redefine and nurture these disturbed aspects of yourself as you recognize and embrace your common linkage with all creatures. Recognize that sometimes you need to let go of your familiar patterns and reach beyond yourself.
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 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: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mars >> Introductory Phase of Pluto2: Reworking of Mars: Turning Forward of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Resolution of Saturn, Pluto1 {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 “!!!”}
