The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Monday (2/17/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Venus joining with Pluto (1*). This vibrational energy pattern is about a sense of restless dissatisfaction that drives you to reach out further and further into new and different realms seeking something more satisfactory. You will likely feel compelled to communicate with others about this and will find yourself more effective in your communication than normal. It is likely that you will find others who are also dissatisfied and may join you in the search for something better. (For VA Students: 11, 22)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by tuning into the universal patterns and using them as your model and guide to what you are manifesting here on earth. This is about working objectively without attachment as you are starting something new.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
11 (3*) Dissatisfaction, Restless Seeking for something better
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, Pluto >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are displaying the disciplined orderly aspects of yourself, building up your strength, seeking to keep the more disreputable aspects under control. You are flying towards your destination point, about to energize a new level of awareness and experience. You are arriving at your destination point and you’re taking on the new form and patterns you’re going to energize. You are discovering that the organized structures for dealing with life are too narrow and inadequate, finding that you must operate based on the awareness and sense of connection within you, refusing to be subject to outside authorities, recognizing and accepting the consequences of your actions.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are using the display of your strength and control and power to dominate, control and suppress any opposition. You are failing to open up to new potentials, missing your target, and getting lost. You are blocking your awareness of what needs to happen, refusing to accept the new forms and patterns being presented to you. You are rebelliously rejecting social structures and their expectations out of immaturity while ignoring the consequences of your actions, causing damage to yourself and all those around you.

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}
The two planet patterns all include the Moon. See below.
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 4:24 PM, peaking at 6:24 PM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with the Sun in Aquarius. 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 7:19 PM the Moon enters Scorpio For the next 2 ½ days the Moon in Scorpio can tend to get very emotionally intense. The desire is to merge with the people you are involved with and with the projects you are working on. This can be uncomfortable for those not used to it as you can feel like you are being swallowed up. If it gets too much, just step back for a couple of minutes and take a breath, or even take a walk around the block to help you temporarily disconnect.
Starting at 10:34 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:34 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period you may feel a need to act based on deep feelings within you that may come to the surface at this time. Ask yourself whether you are responding to the past or the present. Try to not put ancient feelings on the people you are currently interacting with.
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 February 12, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Aquarius. This vibrational energy pattern is about studying the emotional patterns around you and the way people are reacting to the historical situation. There is the potential for sudden insights and quick thinking that can shift what is happening. The patterns are in flux and what is happening is not necessarily what looks like it is happening. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Butterfly with the Right Wing more perfectly formed”. This is about transforming your active, assertive impulses, placing them at the service of a greater awareness, while you carefully keep your emotions in balance, so that you can be guided by your intuitive awareness. If your emotions overwhelm your rational responses and your intuitive awareness is ignored, you will become lopsided and out of balance. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Large Camel crossing the Desert”. This reminds you that you need to rely on your internal resources and preparation rather than using others as your reference point in the current very challenging circumstances.
On January 29, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Aquarius. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 27, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings expansion and growth. There is a potential here for a rebirth of a deep awareness of what is core and fundamental in our lives. It may feel a bit like waking up from a dream. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Popularity that proves ephemeral”. This is about remaining true to your sense of yourself and your personal integrity, even if it means losing the approval and adulation that you have been receiving from others. There is a warning here that if you get caught up in doing whatever you need to do to remain popular, that you may lose track of who you really are.
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: Venus >> Introductory Phase of Venus, Pluto: Turning Forward of Mars, Jupiter, Uranus: Resolution of Saturn, Neptune {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 “!!!”}
