The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Mercury turns retrograde today, Nov 9 and is retrograde until Nov 29.
Today, Sunday (11/09/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Neptune and Pluto (1*). This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about focusing on your own ideas about how the society you are in needs to operate. You may be pushing your ideas regardless of how the people around you feel about your ideas. This can be difficult for others to deal with. You are prone to exploring the most effective way to act in a kind of random manner. In the end you can end up taking action based on your passions without regard to the effect your ideas have on others. For VA Students (28, 31)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by being very flexible, open to actually changing the whole method in which you are operating. It is important to act out of your unique awareness being true to yourself at the same time you are tuning into the universal pattern that is seeking to be expressed.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
28 (1*) Driven to face the challenge of acting in ways that express the truth which is deep within you
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Neptune, Pluto >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to operate in new ways, expressing new patterns, proceeding to learn new skills step by step, being open to help and guidance from others. You are seeing and experiencing the wholeness that lies behind the polarized realm of time and space recognizing that everything is a manifestation of the one Spirit that is All That Is. You are experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are relying on skills that you have not yet mastered, refusing help from others and falling flat on your face or pretending to less skill than you have in order to get sympathy and help from those around you. You are continuing to be caught up in the illusion of many separate and distinct forms. You are losing control and exploding emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself.
4 Sagittarius = Mars [A little child learning to walk] You are learning to operate in new ways, expressing new patterns, proceeding to learn new skills step by step, being open to help and guidance from others and/or you are relying on skills that you have not yet mastered, refusing help from others and falling flat on your face or pretending to less skill than you have in order to get sympathy and help from those around you
30 Pisces = Neptune [The Great Stone Face] You are seeing and experiencing the wholeness that lies behind the polarized realm of time and space recognizing that everything is a manifestation of the one Spirit that is All That Is and/or you are continuing to be caught up in the illusion of many separate and distinct forms
2 Aquarius = Pluto [An unexpected thunderstorm] You are experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality and/or you are losing control and exploding emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself
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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
Oct 29 – Dec 5 (not exact) Jupiter in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Pisces. This energy is increasing in influence but not becoming exact until Nov 10 then it is decreasing fading out around 10 AM on Dec 5. This vibrational energy pattern brings expansion in a step-by-step way that deals with moving from one fundamental step to the next.
Aug 2 – Dec 17 (exact Aug 28 and then Nov 20) Uranus in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 7 PM on Dec 17. This vibrational energy pattern brings a high level of sensitivity to the energy flows around you even if you can’t really describe what you are feeling. This sensitivity can result in sometimes unexplainable reactions to things that happen around you.
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 1:25 PM, peaking at 3:25 PM, the Moon in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with the Sun in Scorpio. 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.
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 November 5, the Moon in Taurus was opposing the Sun in Scorpio. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on November 20, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is bringing into focus how the past is impacting the present. There is a need for a rebirth, a renewal of our social understandings recognizing the impact of social understandings on the lives of the people in the society. You are called to operate out of your best understanding when you do not know what the eventual outcome is. You can project possible future scenarios and use those as a guide to your actions adjusting as you get a better understanding of what is unfolding. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Telephone Linemen at Work”. This is about establishing new and more extensive connections between different aspects of yourself and the higher more universal awarenesses. If your communication lines are all tangled up you may have trouble separating truly important information from the distorted awareness that is mixed in with it. The Symbol for the Moon is “Shellfish Groping and Children Playing”. Here you are starting to feel things out, connecting in, groping around and playing, seeking to develop some new ways of understanding and expressing yourself . You are likely to have problems if you are holding onto the issues and habitual ways you have been operating and refusing to try anything new.
On October 21, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 21, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a strong emotional need to develop a greater awareness of the beauty of the connections we all have to each other and how to share gentle energy with each other. There is a growing awareness that we are impacted internally by the way we relate to others. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Humanity seeking to bridge the Span of Knowledge”. This is about are reaching out to span the generations, being open to the transfer of knowledge from others and seeking to transfer your knowledge to others. There is a warning here about keeping your knowledge as a secret and refusing to share with others for the good of all.
On September 22, the Sun entered Libra. This is the Fall Equinox. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern shows the potential for either deception and betrayal or increased spiritual awareness. There is an underlying awareness of the importanceof personal growth and development and a need to have this expressed more effectively in your culture. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun to Moon distance is “The President of the Country” which has to do with you claiming the authority of your position and accepting responsibility to act in ways that benefit all. There is danger of distortion if you are focusing on a sense of privilege, power and personal aggrandizement.
On September 21, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Moon and Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on February 17, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings an evaluation of emotional patterns and responses seeking to separate deception and betrayal from the seeking of deep spiritual truth. If you listen clearly in your heart you will know which is which. This is a time for you to focus inside yourself and explore the deeper aspects inside seeking to get past any barriers that keep you from connecting into your unique self and your gifts. You are encouraged to project the current patterns into the future and see what will bring the best results for everybody involved. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to immediate service”.This is about the importance of 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. There is danger in you being pulled away from critical tasks, responding to outside interruptions and losing your sense of yourself and your ability to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On September 7, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs with Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on March 3, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern encourages us to see beyond our emotional reactions to the truth of this moment showing that we must learn to embrace that which we have previously excluded. We are challenged to adjust our visions of the future to see more clearly the possibilities for sudden insights into the deep archaic patterns that are holding us back from realizing our dreams. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Orangutan” which involves sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within you and recognizing the need to refine and guide those forces into more mature expression. It is dangerous in this energy pattern to take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Flow of Inspiration” which brings the potential for you to connect into the flow of spiritual inspiration moving through you and out into the world, If you close up and get caught in a cycle of negativity you will find your perceptions limited which will shut you off from others.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury turns retrograde today, Nov 9 and is retrograde until Nov 29 >> Turning Back of Mercury, Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus: Turning Forward of Neptune, 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 “!!!”}
