The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 9:35 PM EDT on April 20, the Third Quarter Moon Phase is reached with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus.
Today, Sunday (4/20/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Neptune (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is about seeking to accomplish your goals while working in ways and doing things that others are comfortable with. You have a need for there to be an easy flow of energy between you and those around you. Your motivation for your actions is a dream and vision that you have that you want to bring to fruition. (For VA Students: 12, 24)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by opening up and curiously exploring the world around you. It is important to look in the far distance to see how to manifest your dream. Remember that things are likely to be connected that don’t seem to be.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
1 (5*) 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: Sun, Mars, Neptune >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are opening to the flow of nourishment and love coming to you in life in an unending stream; letting it flow through you to others. 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 having a difficult and challenging experience that is shocking you into awareness of the wounded, blocked and damaged parts of yourself and enabling you to start to change your responses to others and the world around you. You are developing a passionate sensitiveness to everything in yourself and in the world, learning how and when patterns start and how best to stop them when they start spiraling out of control.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are holding onto the nourishment and love you receive, refusing to share it with others; thus blocking the flow, preventing this necessary flow of nourishment and love from continuing to bring you what you need. 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 focusing on the wounds and damage within you and clinging tightly to old patterns of behavior too afraid and angry to take the risk of trying something different. You are experiencing the arrogant pride and presumptuousness of an overinflated ego that is seeking to spread out like a disease, destroying those opposed to it.

2 Leo = Mars [An epidemic of mumps] You are developing a passionate sensitiveness to everything in yourself and in the world, learning how and when patterns start and how best to stop them when they start spiraling out of control and/or you are experiencing the arrogant pride and presumptuousness of an overinflated ego that is seeking to spread out like a disease, destroying those opposed to it
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 20 – Apr 27 (exact Apr 24) Venus in Pisces is joining with Saturn in Pisces. This energy begins to influence us around 6 PM on Apr. 20 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:01 PM on Apr. 24 then decreasing fading out around 5 PM on Apr. 27. This vibrational energy pattern is about tuning into the beauty that is at the core of life, the sense of attraction that holds all life together.
Apr 19 – Apr 21 (exact Apr 20) Mercury in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:39 PM on Apr. 20 then decreasing fading out around 7 PM on Apr. 21. This vibrational energy pattern is about gathering with other people that think like you do and discussing the ideas you feel are important.

This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:34 PM on Apr. 20 then decreasing fading out around 5 PM on Apr. 22. This vibrational energy pattern has an intense sense of something that needs to happen for the world to function better. It is determined to go out and make that happen
Apr 17 – Apr 22 (exact Apr 19) Mars in Leo is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 8AM on Apr. 22. This vibrational energy pattern is about pursuing your dreams and visions. There is a lot of energy here to reach out and take action to bring your dreams to reality.
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.

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 9:23 AM, peaking at 11:23 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, especially those with whom you feel a soul connection.
Starting at 9:26 AM, peaking at 11:26 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in an organic way based on a sense of objective awareness.
Starting at 11:21 AM, peaking at 1:21 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you find it easy to accept responsibility and work comfortably with others getting the things done that really need to be done.
At 7:21 PM the Moon enters Aquarius and becomes focused for the next 2 ½ days on participating in group processes. We are all a part of many groups including our family, our friends, our community, our country and our world. The Moon in Aquarius finds satisfaction in being a part of its groups and contributing to the functioning and well being of those groups.
Starting at 6:47 PM, peaking at 8:47 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Aries. This 4 hr period could bring a distracted dreamy feeling when you are not really sharply focused. Instead you may find yourself day-dreaming about what you would like your life to be like. This is a good time to dream, but not a good time to act on those dreams. Wait until you are thinking more clearly.
At 9:35 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Taurus. This is the Third Quarter Moon Phase. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 7:35 PM, peaking at 9:35 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is opposing Mars in Leo. In this 4 hr period you have a lot of energy that can be shared with others in group projects or group activities like sports or exercise. It is important to guide this energy into positive channels that flow through you so that you can use it constructively.
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.}
At 9:35 PM EDT on April 20, the Third Quarter Moon Phase is reached with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on April 27, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern is about taking action seeking to make changes in the world around you and how it operates. There is an almost compulsive need to take action based on your internal emotional state. This action can sometimes be explosive. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Electrical Storm”. This is about having a difficult and challenging experience that is shocking you into awareness of the wounded, blocked and damaged parts of yourself and enabling you to start to change your responses to others and the world around you. The Moon Symbol is “An Unexpected Thunderstorm” which refers to the potential for experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality.
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, Mars >> 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.
