Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report
by Linda Berry and Starlene Breiter
Today the Strongest Vibration comes from Mercury joining with Uranus and Pluto (1*). This is a three day pattern with today being the middle day when it is extremely strong bringing your inclination to impulsive, spur-of-the-moment actions to a high pitch. The mind is very active and able to possibly temper the impulsiveness you are feeling. It may help you to guide yourself to express your impulsiveness in a way that doesn’t involve jumping over the edge of the cliff. Your mind is working very well today but it may be somewhat scattered as you find yourself thinking of many different things. In the course of that you may well have some important insights into your life or the problems you have been working on. Be sure to have your handy notebook right there so you can write down things as you become aware of them. If you don’t you are likely to lose track of important information that will help you in your life.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
7 (1*) Internal focus, structure and discipline
The Mood of the Day
Mercury in Leo started to form a square to Jupiter in Scorpio just before midnight, yesterday. This aspect builds all day today and peaks tomorrow. This can have us feeling quick to jump to conclusions. Your mind and your personal philosophy may feel challenged during this time. If so, go over what you think is your own personal philosophy and really ask yourself, are you living that?
Venus in Libra made an exact square with Saturn in Capricorn yesterday. This aspect stays with us until about 10 PM today. During this transit, the facade of love (if you are not being real with yourself or others) will start to diminish. Leaving you with what is really real about that love. If it is not real love, that you can see as lasting forever, then changes can occur. You are left with an impression that beauty has nothing to do with what is real and what we love on the inside. This is not a bad aspect, although it can be tough for those of us not willing to already open our eyes and hearts about the things we love. Superficiality mean nothing here, one can see right through that and it will melt away to the reality of what you love. Is it real love after all?
Saturn in Capricorn started to form a trine with Uranus in Taurus on Wednesday, August 1st. This aspect never actually comes to a peak because Saturn is retrograde right now, then Uranus goes retrograde August 7th, but this aspect is intense all the way through! It slowly loses some strength until the second week in August. Then it starts to pick up again, until about September 5, when it finally starts to lose strength again. This aspect lasts until the third week in September before finally leaving us. This is a positive aspect that can help you to achieve the results that you want to achieve, when other times you may have wanted to achieve something and have not made it. You are asked to focus yourself on being in the present moment and to let go of anything that is not necessarily long lasting to you too.
{The remaining aspects to mention today are aspects to the Moon. Moon aspects are more like moods, than life-changing alterations/situations. Since they are two planet Moon patterns they only last a couple of hours on each side of their peak times.}
The Moon moves out of her long void-of-course phase and into the sign of Leo at 12:18
AM. The Leo Moon has us all wanting to be heard. What is important to us should be considered in the equation of everything. Enjoy allowing yourself to roar a little with the Moon in Leo this weekend, the New Moon is tomorrow and it makes this a very powerful time! The Leo Moon comes to an opposition with Mars in Aquarius at 1:12 AM. This can have us wanting to be active. Since this is the middle of the night for those of us in the USA, this may not be the ideal time to do something active. If you do find yourself awake, why not do something to expend some energy, it would be likely that tonight is one of those “up half the night”, nights. Following this aspect, the Leo Moon comes to a square with Uranus in Taurus at 4:21 AM. There is an electrical feeling in the air, one that can be translated into something very inspirational, or something where you want to be spontaneous and do something completely out of the ordinary with yourself. The last morning aspect is a bit calmer. It is when the Leo Moon comes to sextile with Venus in Libra at 5:49 AM. This is a harmonious and cheerful energy. You should feel comfortable with those around you and actively ready for the beautiful day ahead. Much later in the day the Moon in Leo comes to square with Jupiter in Scorpio at 11:46 PM. This is followed almost immediately by the Leo Moon coming to conjunct with Mercury in Leo at 11:54 PM. I am mentioning both of these aspects together because they are all connected. Here our emotions, and thoughts can be inflated. You may not be thinking very clearly and things can be a bit blown out of proportion. You may want to quickly jump to a conclusion, only to find yourself not happy that you did that later on. Try to keep an even keel with yourself and not distress over thoughts that may not be real. Be patient and calm and use a positive affirmation to change any negative thought pattern that might be floating around in your mind.

Longer Term Vibrations that need to be considered. 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.} Cyclic Patterns we are experiencing at this time

{Longer Term Vibrations also need to be considered. These patterns continue over several days and you may want to reread this periodically to help you more effectively handle what we are all experiencing as our “astral weather” in this time period.}
The Third Quarter Moon was on August 4 and this pattern will be influencing us until August 11 when the next Solar Eclipse and New Moon occurs. This brings a sense of awareness of our dreams and visions and feelings of restlessness and dissatisfaction that drive an intense need to actively change whatever is necessary to bring about the realization of those dreams. The Sun’s Sabian Symbol is “An old sea captain rocking” and the Moon’s is “A man handling baggage”. The challenge this week is to step back and get an overview, get a sense of perspective, see what within you is interfering with your manifesting your dreams. Do you think you don’t deserve them? Do you think you are not able to be successful? What are the risks you would have to take to make your dreams come true? See if you can see where your attitudes and negative beliefs about yourself and negative self-talk are undercutting your ability to manifest your dreams. Then change those negatives by changing your self-talk. Whatever you think that is negative, see if you can figure out the positive you are denying and tell yourself that instead, any time you sense the negative rising up within you, reverse it and give yourself a positive message instead.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse was on July 27 and it will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 11 which is a Solar Eclipse. This is a very active pattern that is about reevaluating how you act on your feelings every day. Are you aware and recognizing that feelings may be about the past rather than the present and you do not need to express every feeling you have? All feeling do not require action. For example, if you are angry with someone and “wish they were dead”, you do not go out and make that happen. Our feelings come from our history and our reaction to an event may be a whole lot more about a problem in our past rather than about the current situation which just happens to remind you in some way of that past issue. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Rock formations at the edge of a precipice” and it is about recognizing emotional patterns in you especially related to frustration and anger that are creating problems for you and that could cause you to fall over the edge. The Moon Symbol is “A council of ancestors” and this lets you know that if you will listen and be open to it, 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 of today.
Mercury went retrograde on July 26 and will turn direct on August 19. The post-retrograde period will be from August 19 to September 2. This Mercury retrograde is focused on whether you get caught up in the superficiality of appearances or you can learnt to expand your awareness of yourself and others to a point where you recognize your innate self-worth and the worth of other people and recognize that who a person is, is a lot more important than what they appear to be. Appearances can be deceiving and you are challenged to look at the deeper truths of each person you interact with.
We are in a new eclipse cycle starting with the Solar Eclipse on July 12. This will be followed by a Lunar Eclipse on July 27 and a second Solar Eclipse on August 11. Thus we are entering a full month of change. Be prepared to go through a series of changes involving new realizations about yourself and the world around you. This eclipse brings with it a feeling of focus and discipline touched with a certain obsessive compulsive feeling about getting done what you need to get done. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A prima donna singing” which encourages us to naturally express our gifts as they come up within us without the expectation of special privileges being given to us as some kind of right based on how special we are. If we demand special treatment it will distort our gifts as they are used to feed the ego, rather than being expressed as a natural part of us.
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.
Mars went retrograde on June 27(9aq13) and will turn direct in on August 27(28cp37). When Mars appears to go retrograde due to our position here on the Earth, the Mars energies are likely to go out of control if they are disturbed. In other words, anyone who hasn’t worked through their issues with anger and frustration may explode during Mars retrograde. There is also a shadow around the retrograde both before and after the retrograde period when the Mars energy may not work the way you expect it to work. The pre-retrograde shadow was from May 13th to June 27th. The post-retrograde shadow will be from August 27th to October 8th. In the post-retrograde shadow you will have an opportunity to rework your issues with anger and frustration and perhaps learn a better way of dealing with times when your actions get blocked by something or someone around you. The challenge of this Mars retrograde period is to see where you need to take responsibility for your life and your decisions rather than blaming others, to see what biases and illusions you carry within you that are distorting your reactions and to revise your understanding to see the deeper truths of each person as a unique soul and spirit of value.
