The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
The strongest influence both yesterday and today (9/16/18) comes from Mercury joining with Jupiter and Pluto (1*). This is a more mental pattern than we have been having the last few days. The mind is going to be very active today opening up to the big picture of how everything is fitting together. This is a day for stepping back and doing an overview of everything seeking to see how growth and expansion can happen. There is a real need here to move past any blocks or barriers and not be attached to the way things looked like they were going. Instead look at what is really happening.

The Dancing 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 couple of hours either side of the time given. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
Starting yesterday evening Mercury in Virgo flows smoothly (sextiles) with Jupiter in Scorpio. This vibration peaks at 7:51 AM but will be felt all day until this evening. This is a window of awareness where it is easier to step back and see the big picture and correct your course of action if needed. Keep your notebook handy today to write down insights you get into how to better achieve your goals.
Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn peaked last night but may still be influencing your thoughts this morning. This can make for some very intense thought patterns and perhaps some intense communication. You may tend to get stuck in particular thoughts that are being pulled up from your past. See if you can evaluate whether the people you are interacting with are the cause of the things you are experiencing or whether it is coming more from inside of you.
Sept. 15 – Sept. 21 (exact Sept. 18) Mars in Aquarius acts with and conflicts with (squares) Uranus in Taurus. This vibration is increasing in strength until it peaks on Sept. 18. This is a very volatile pattern because the action of Mars is focused in supporting the social network we all live in and Uranus in Taurus is impulsively acting based on its own sense of how things need to evolve. This pattern is likely to bring changes as these two forces interact with each other. The best way to handle this is to be flexible and be open to changes in your social network and how you understand yourself. This has the potential to either bring much needed changes on both a social and personal level and/or to become explosive if people are resistant to those changes.
Sept. 6 – Sept. 17 (exact Sept. 12) Jupiter in Scorpio is sharing (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibration is gradually decreasing in strength until it fades on Sept. 17. This vibration brings a strong need to grow and expand and may help you tap into old patterns, attitudes and assumptions that have been interfering with your life.
Aug. 1 – Sept. 21 (not exact) Saturn in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibration reached its closest point of interaction on Aug. 27 and is slowly fading in impact through Sept. 21. This vibration is both focused long-term on what really lasts and spontaneous and impulsive in the moment at the same time. Since these two needs are contradictory, you get things like suddenly eliminating things from your life that you don’t think are meaningful in the long run. It is important to find ways to honor both your long-term interests and the need to be spontaneous in the moment. Recognize that both these needs are important and that they are present at the same time and that you need to make space in your life for both. Especially provide periods of time when you can be spontaneous and you will handle this better.
July 2 – Oct. 19 (exact Sept. 26) Uranus in Taurus is quiet and focused (septile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This pattern is increasing in strength until Sept. 26 calling for focused or disciplined spontaneity. You may be feeling you are lacking spontaneity in your life and find yourself forcing yourself to be spontaneous. This is not easy and may generate some tension inside you. Any focused and spontaneous activity will help use and release this energy. Some examples are dance, group sports, tai chi, or martial arts. Also, a massage might help release built up tension.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their listed time.}
In a two hour window around 1:12 AM the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and conflicting with Neptune in Pisces. This is an opportunity for you to look at how your emotional responses may be interfering with your dreams for what you want to happen in your life. Watch your feelings closely in this time period and pause and evaluate emotional reactions you feel before you express them to see if they are really what you need to do to move your life forward or whether they are old regressive patterns that will harm you and others.
Around 10:48 AM the Moon in Sagittarius acts and conflicts (squares) with Mercury in Virgo. Here you may experience feelings that do not fit with your evaluation of the situation you are in. Again evaluate your feelings and see where they are coming from, you may be reacting more out of past experiences and overreacting to the present situation. Awareness and emotional constraint will bring some real growth under this vibration. Finally at 7:15 PM the Moon moves into a first quarter square with the Sun. See the cyclic patterns for a discussion of this more long lasting pattern.
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.}
The First Quarter Moon is today at 7:15 PM with the Moon in Sagittarius squaring the Sun in Virgo. It will impact us over the next week until the Full Moon on Sept. 24. This is when we step back and evaluate how our lives are unfolding as we experience the unfolding of the pattern that was begun at the New Moon seeking to make corrections and clear out obstacles in our paths. This quarter moon is especially focused on finding creative solutions that balance growth and responsibility while moving into expression of the dreams we have for how our lives can be seeking to attract that which we love, that which is beautiful, that which stirs our souls and brings a sense of rightness. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is “A flag at half-mast” and the Sabian symbol for the Moon is “A chubby boy on a hobby horse”. The challenge is to move beyond absorption with yourself and respond to the needs of others rather than focusing on your sense of your own self-importance and ignoring the impact your actions are having on others while you are involved in repetitive acts of self-serving indulgence operating impulsively without thought of the actual consequences of your actions.
The New Moon occurred on Sept 9 with the Moon joining the Sun in Virgo. It will continue to influence us until the next New Moon on Oct. 8. This New Moon is about a sensitivity to others and what their lives are like, being dissatisfied with the ways we are relating to each other and seeking a way to recognize and respond the the special essence of each person. The Sabian Symbol is “An Ouija Board” which reminds us to always check our deepest intuitions and separate positive guidance from negative impulses inside of us so we can take responsibility for ourselves and our impact on others and not get caught up in the easy answers that superstition and prejudice provide.
The overview of the Current Eclipse Cycle of 3 Eclipses between July 12 and August 11. {We will be feeling the vibrational effect of the current eclipse cycle at least until the start of the next cycle on January 6, 2019. The following is the summary of the guidance from the Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}
Express your gifts as a natural outflow of who you are without feeling that you deserve special treatment. Your reactions to situations may come from problems in your past that have not been resolved with the current situation just being a trigger. You can receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and from your ancestors helping you tune into ancient wisdom and understand how it can be effective in addressing the problems you face today. This will allow you to relax into an easy flow of interaction with other people where you are accepting other people and they are accepting you. Open up to your higher universal awareness and connections and let it guide you.
The Summer Solstice was on June 21 and this energy pattern will be influencing us until September 22 when the Fall Equinox occurs. The Summer Solstice is when the Sun enters Cancer and the Summer officially begins. With the temperatures we have been seeing a lot of places, it looks like the Summer has gotten off to a running start. This summer there is a strong emphasis on taking action that will benefit the community and bring peace and healing. People will not be willing to sacrifice their sense of what is right and ultimately meaningful but they will value operating in peaceful cooperative ways to achieve their goals. In the midst of all this it is important for each of us to take some time out to just be in the moment and relax and play in a creative way.
The Retrograde Diary
(Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) reworking patterns, (Saturn) turning forward, (Mars, Jupiter) in Final Resolution
{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.}
