he Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Tuesday (4/15/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Neptune (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is about operating out of a personal frame of reference. What do you feel inside of you that you need to do? This is combined with interacting with and reorganizing the things you encounter and work with in the world around you. It is likely that you are seeking to build smooth, flowing interactions with the people around you that you are involved with. This pattern is seeking to reach out beyond this world seeking deep spiritual truths. There is a combination of analysis seeking to find what is most fundamental and essential, combined with a sense of reaching beyond the concrete world into more spiritual realms. (For VA Students: 1, 2, 3)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by looking into the far distance and going to those amazing realms that you see. This involves combining together things that do not seem to be connected, recognizing the greater whole that encompasses them.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
3 (8*) Need to experience a flow of energy within and around you. Can be very distressed if your efforts and experiences do not bring this sense of flow.
1 (6*) Doing things your own way, evaluating the ideas of others and only changing if you agree with them
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Neptune >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are opening up to the initial tentative pulse of creative energy within you, feeling it on a primal level of awareness, embracing it and allowing it to rise up in a flow within you. You are beginning 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.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are failing to open up to the tentative pulse of creation that you feel within you because of a lack of commitment to the process or being too weakly connected or being too fearful and insecure. You are feeling alone and isolated, fearing disconnection from others if you’re true to yourself, failing to see the underlying reality in which everyone is connected.
1 Aries = Mercury merging with Neptune [A woman rises out of water, a seal rises and embraces her] You are opening up to the initial tentative pulse of creative energy within you, feeling it on a primal level of awareness, embracing it and allowing it to rise up in a flow within you and/or you are failing to open up to the tentative pulse of creation that you feel within you because of a lack of commitment to the process or being too weakly connected or being too fearful and insecure
26 Pisces = Saturn [A new moon that divides its influences] You are beginning 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 and/or you are feeling alone and isolated, fearing disconnection from others if you’re true to yourself, failing to see the underlying reality in which everyone is connected
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}
Apr 15 – Apr 18 (exact Apr 17) Mercury in Aries is joining with Neptune in Aries. This energy begins to influence us around 12 PM on Apr. 15 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:11 AM on Apr. 17 then decreasing fading out around 8 AM on Apr. 18. This vibrational energy pattern brings you into excited contact with new ideas that are fascinating, amazing, and wonderful.
Apr 7 – Apr 16 (not exact, closest Apr 12) Mercury in Pisces is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Cancer. This energy is fading out around 8 PM on Apr. 16. This vibrational energy pattern is about a need for a flow of new information that you can put to practical use combining things together that do not seem connected as you seek to build a place that is safe for people where they can be themselves.
Apr 4 – Apr 24 (exact Apr 8) Venus in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This energy is decreasing fading out around 3 AM on Apr. 24. This vibrational energy pattern is about sudden feelings of attraction to beauty that are shared with another person. This is a good time to go out dancing with someone as this can also be about beautiful rhythms.
Mar 22 – Apr 20 (exact Apr 4) Saturn in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This energy is decreasing fading out around 5 AM on Apr. 20. This vibrational energy pattern is about learning how to stay true to the unique way you perceive life and at the same time give others space for and respect for having their own unique perception and understanding of what is happening around them.
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 10:03 AM, peaking at 12:03 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a very nice flow of love and good feelings. This can be a special time to share with those you care about.
Starting at 11:31 AM, peaking at 1:31 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. You may be feeling pretty independent right now and more touchy about other people being in control of what you are doing. You will have a tendency to react. Right now you want to do what you feel like doing right this moment and you don’t want to worry about what other people feel about it. Remember other people are feeling the same way and give them the same space you are needing at the moment.
Starting at 1:00 PM, peaking at 3:00 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period stimulates an internal awareness of the patterns that are working for your long term benefit and those that are undermining your goals. It is easier to shift at this time to a more effective pattern that supports your goals.
Starting at 6:51 PM, peaking at 8:51 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Cancer. This 4 hr period is probably going to have your emotions and moods whooped up a bit, you will tend to focus on something you want to do and really get on with it. You may get upset if someone interferes at this time, you won’t want to be interrupted or blocked.
Starting at 8:23 PM, peaking at 10:23 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a good interaction between your mind and emotions helping you to both think and feel clearly. This is a good time to be working on important projects.
At 10:37 PM, the Moon enters Sagittarius. The Moon in Sagittarius brings exuberant feelings and a desire to explore your external world and your internal world. This 2 ½ days is a great time to explore someplace you have never been or to learn something new that you have been wondering about.
Starting at 9:50 PM, peaking at 11:50 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Aries. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams, they are living inside you and you are feeling them. You may find yourself daydreaming more than usual. You can use this time to get deeply in touch with your dreams and draw inspiration from them to help you make them more real.
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 April 12, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on April 27, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern is about taking action based on the deep beauty that is the essence of truth in the situation combined with your sense of amazing new ideas that are revolutionary. There is a potential for sudden insights and actions that bring changes in your understanding as you are developing yourself in an open creative community. Underneath this is the need to form your own pattern of understanding through creative development of inspiring exchanges of information with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Open Window and a Net Curtain blowing into a Cornucopia”. This encourages you to open your spirit to the abundance that is available to you. It is as if you become a vehicle through which that abundance can manifest and supply whatever is needed. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Third Wing on the Left Side of a Butterfly”. You may find yourself having feelings of vulnerability and fragility, recognizing your differences from others as your spiritual transformation brings changes within you, feeling your heart expanding and providing a greater capacity to nurture, and greater sensitivity.
On March 29, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025. This vibr ational energy pattern brings a sense of dissatisfaction and a restless searching that is reaching out to find something more satisfactory. There is a sense of connecting into another level of awareness that is idealistic and visionary. This awareness can either open you up to amazing deep spiritual truths or bring a sense of confusion and deceit and betrayal that needs to be penetrated to get to the truths underneath it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon Solar Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to Immediate Service”.
This is about totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. Remaining focused at this time enables you to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On March 20, the Spring Equinox occurred with the Sun entering Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern is focused on our dreams and whether we are seeing the potential for them to become a part of our everyday life. Part of this is tapping into ourselves and being clear what kinds of dreams are speaking to us. Then comes being willing to act on those dreams and express them. This means taking risks, putting yourself out there. Remember you cannot succeed without taking the risk of failing. Count each failure as a step toward success. The Sun-Moon angle for the Spring Equinox is the Sabian Symbol “A Woman and two Men on a bit of sunlit land facing south”. This is about learning to be flexible and open. There is the potential here to see clearly how you can make appropriate choices to act either in the realm of Spirit or the realm of Matter as appropriate. You may discover competing needs within you. If you disconnect from that which is around you and isolate yourself you may experience a devastating sense of estrangement.
On March 14, the Full Moon Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern helps us connect into what we really feel deep inside of us. It encourages us to be true to those internal feelings. This can involve letting go of some emotional feelings that do not really serve us. There is a strong focus on working with others helping them to connect into the deep patterns within them that show who they really are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Inhabited Island” which is about you truly grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. Take care to not be putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you and focus only on yourself feeling alienated, deserted and alone. The Moon Symbol is “Mary and her little Lamb”, which is about loving yourself and those around you, operating based on love, kindness and friendship for mutual support, while maintaining your boundaries and your sense of self-integrity. There is a danger here of you or the other person becoming overly dependent on the other.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Back of Pluto: Turning Forward of Venus: Resolution of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus {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 “!!!”}
