The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 8:43 PM EST on December 19, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Sagittarius.
Today, Saturday (12/20/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and the Moon joining with Mars (1*). This Vibrational Energy Pattern is bringing you into interaction with the world around you and seeking to interact in a flowing harmony. This is a time to focus on the goals you need to achieve. There is a strong need to go out and act on the goals that are important to you standing up to anyone that is opposing you. For VA Students (1,2,3)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by recognizing the connections between things that do not seem to be connected through curious exploration of everything around you.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
19 (3*) Internal Pattern recognition and analysis of conceptual frameworks which may be shared with others
1 (2*) 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, Moon, Mars >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are being willing to sacrifice yourself and your own needs to be a representative of the divine essence. You are joining with others in a group effort (or working through internal conflicts) learning to cooperate in order to accomplish a common goal, with each person contributing his or her skills and energy.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being caught up in your own self importance and desire for power, getting off on displaying yourself as the ultimate authority. You are bickering with others, refusing to carry your share or having others refuse to do their part and dumping it all on 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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
Dec 20 – Dec 21 (exact Dec 21) Venus in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This energy begins to influence us around 5 AM on Dec 20 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:09 AM on Dec 21 then it is decreasing fading out around 8 PM on Dec 21. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of a true beauty that is at the core of everything we experience in life and the desire to act on that true beauty moving beyond personal self interest into a sense of something greater and more important.
Dec 19 – Dec 21 (exact Dec 20) the Sun in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:02 PM on Dec 20 then it is decreasing fading out around 8 PM on Dec 21. This vibrational energy pattern is about tuning into the dream or vision that is central to your life everyday and making that vision manifest in the world around you whether other people are comfortable with it or not.
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.}
At 8:43 PM yesterday, the Moon in Sagittarius was joining with the Sun in Sagittarius. This is the New Moon. See the Cyclic Pattern Diary for more information.
Starting at 8:41 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:41 PM yesterday, the Moon in Sagittarius was acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period highlights your dreams and is a great time to do anything that is especially magical for you, like visiting some special place that you love to go to. There may be some feelings of disconnection from the everyday world and perhaps a sense of fuzziness or vagueness. It will pass as the Moon moves beyond Neptune.
At 11:52 PM yesterday December 19 the Moon entered Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation occurs, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
Starting at 5:42 AM, peaking at 7:42 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Mars in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period when the Moon and Mars join together the emotions get a lot of energy and there is a desire to go out and take action. If something blocks that action there may be feelings of anger.
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 8:43 PM EST on December 19, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Sagittarius. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on January 18, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings the dissolving of old patterns and structure and the emerging of new patterns. There is a sense of reaching out to connect in with a new level spiritual awareness. This is combined with a need to be more appropriately responsive to the patterns happening spontaneously in the moment. This is driven by a sense of dissatisfaction that senses the need to make changes in the structure of the community you live in. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Fat Boy mowing the Lawn” which speaks to the need to cleanse and recondition yourself through hard work that cuts through the ragged overgrown expanses within you to reveal a formalized beauty that show something true and fundamental in the depths of your being. You are recognizing the importance of not getting caught up in superficial appearances.
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 importance of 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 >> Reworking of Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Forward of Saturn, Neptune: Resolution of 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 “!!!”}
