The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 9:23 PM EDT on March 18, the New Moon occurs with the Moon and Sun in Pisces.
Today, Wednesday (3/18/2026), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Neptune (1*). This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about a basic attunement to yourself and what is rising up within you. You are seeking to express what you find within you. You are very aware of your responsibilities in life but you are also aware of the magic and wonder of life that transcends the physical things around us. You seek to understand the spiritual level of what you are experiencing. For VA Students (1, 2)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by going on an adventure where you are looking into the far distance and seeking something amazing as you are making connections that are not obvious seeing the underlying oneness that joins everything

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Saturn, Neptune >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing the splitting of the divine into many facets or rays of which you’re one, celebrating the beauty of the whole and the beauty of each part of the whole. 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.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are locking yourself into seeing everything from a particular perspective and missing the broad overview, tending to over-analyze everything and losing track of the essence in a study of the pieces. 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.

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}.
Mar 17 – Mar 19 (exact Mar 18) Venus in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Cancer. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:09 PM on Mar 18 then it is decreasing fading out around 8 AM on Mar 19. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on new ways you can create rich expansive beauty.
Mar 17 – Mar 19 (exact Mar 18) the Sun in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:20 PM on Mar 18 then it is decreasing fading out around 5 PM on Mar 19. This vibrational energy pattern brings the desire to share exciting spontaneous experiences with your friends.
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 8:18 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:18 PM yesterday, the Moon in Pisces is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Cancer. In this 4 hr period there is a sense of emotional openness and expansion within you. This can feel either good or bad depending on what your general feeling at the time is but it will tend to be optimistic.
Starting at 7:02 PM, peaking at 9:02 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you are wanting to share spontaneous exciting experiences with your friends and companions. You need the freedom to be able to impulsively do what you feel like in this moment.
At 9:23 PM, the Moon in Pisces is joining with the Sun in Pisces. This is the New Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
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 9:23 PM EDT on March 18, the New Moon occurs with the Moon and Sun in Pisces. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on April 17, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern occurs with the Sun and Moon very close to Saturn and Neptune. This brings a restatement of the themes of the Saturn Neptune conjunction related to differentiating between fundamental Spiritual Truths and lies, deception and betrayal. There is a strong awareness of the ways that society is failing its people with a drive to address these issues. This is contained within a process of pattern recognition and how the flowing patterns are affecting all of us. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Prism”. This is about recognizing that the divine is the split into many facets or rays of which you’re one, celebrating the beauty of the whole and the beauty of each part of the whole. The pitfall is to lock yourself into seeing everything from a particular perspective and missing the broad overview. You may also tend to over-analyze everything and lose track of the essence in a study of the pieces.
On March 3, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse, on August 28, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse, on August 12, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about stepping back and seeing the big picture. There may be a lot of emotional activity connected with this eclipse. There is also the potential for exceptional communication that can be very effective. This pattern shows that there is a potential to act out of your personal concepts without taking other people into account. There are hidden things going on that have the potential to be revealed and cause a big shift in understanding. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Sword in a Museum”. This presents a choice. You can lay aside the use of force to gain your ends and embrace love and peace, both within yourself and in your interactions with others. Or you can hold grudges and be ready to fight others at any sign of opposition. Or you can give up in defeat and feel worthless and useless. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Strong Hand supplanting Political Hysteria”. Here the power of your personality and your spiritual awareness is acting to calm the situation down. Alternatively, you are being too timid and afraid to take action, losing the opportunity to gain control; or using your power and energy to manipulate the reactions of others for your personal gain.
On February 17, the Solar Eclipse (a New Moon) occurred with the Moon and Sun in Aquarius. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse, on August 12, 2026.This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a sudden unexpected change that surprises everyone. The energy is focused on internal evaluation of the patterns that you are seeing around you with you seeing what changes are needed to reestablish a flow within the social structure. There is the capacity here to take the actions that will bring about that change. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “Butterfly emerging from Chrysalis”. This speaks of emerging from a long period of suspended confinement within a transformative cocoon. You are discovering that you have experienced a complete metamorphosis of your personal self in this time period. The key is to open up to new and different experiences and not hold onto the old limited form.
On December 21, the Sun entered Capricorn, the Winter Solstice. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us at least until the Spring Equinox on March 20, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings an awareness of natural beauty and a drive to contribute to it. This can be expressed either through deception and betrayal or by attuning to the highest spiritual awarenesses and transcending distorted ego patterns. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun to Moon relationship at the Solstice is “A Sword in a Museum” which speaks to laying aside the use of force to gain your ends and embracing love and peace both within yourself and in your interactions with others. If you refuse to do this you are likely to get caught in a pattern where you are holding grudges and being ready to fight others at any sign of opposition or possibly giving up in defeat and feeling worthless and useless.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period of Pluto: Turning Forward of Mercury, Jupiter: Resolution of Uranus, Neptune. {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 “!!!”}
