The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Friday (8/16/19), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Venus and Mars (1*). This vibration is about making something beautiful and tuning into the earth, the world around you. You are encouraged to share with another person in a craft project or working in your garden or making a completely from scratch meal going out and getting fresh herbs out of your garden if you have them, or at the store. If it rains you can even go out and walk in the rain and feel the world touching you directly. This is combined with a Mercury, Mars, Uranus vibration that wants to freely express what you have learned and discovered within yourself. This adds to the sense of exploration and free expression today.

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}
Aug 15 – Aug 17 (exact Aug 16) Mercury in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibration is increasing in strength peaking at 1:07 PM, then decreasing until it fades out about 4 AM on August 17. This is about the mind moving very quickly from one subject to another. This can bring some great insights, just have your notebook handy to write them down. It may feel a bit scattered. The mind is free associating a lot today.
Aug 10 – Aug 17 (exact Aug 14) the Sun in Leo is joining with Venus in Leo. This vibe is decreasing until it fades out around 5 PM on August 17. This pattern will influence us until the next Venus Star point on June 3, 2020. This is a very important pattern that occurs once about every 9 or 10 months. This has been called on point of the Venus Star. Venus traces a five pointed star in the sky. This point is about opening up to beauty and love both within us and around us. This Leo Venus Star especially focuses on the individual uniqueness of each of us and how precious and beautiful each human beings spirit is at core. Venus challenges us to open up to and embrace the beauty in ourselves and others. The Sabian Symbol for this meeting of the Sun and Venus is “A Carrier Pigeon”. It encourages us to open up and listen, to respond to our inner guidance, aligning with the flow and unfolding of our paths through life. If you fail to pay heed to the messages spirit is bringing you, you may gel lost, losing your direction forward.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their peak time.}
Starting at 11:11 AM, peaking at 1:11 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. There is a real need at this time for free spontaneous expression of what you feel like doing shared with others.
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 Full Moon was on August 15 with the Sun in Leo opposing the Moon in Aquarius. This will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 30. The Full Moon’s Vibration is very hands on. You want to make beautiful things and nurture them in your life. This is combined with a strong sense of your own ways of expressing yourself. This Full Moon helps you get in touch with your unique way of relating to the world. This is also about your appreciating the patterns and viewpoint of others. This is a time when you can open up to someone else who is different from you and get an entirely different understanding of the world from them. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bareback Rider” which is about attunement and balance, finding and aligning yourself with your own center of gravity. The Moon Symbol “A big bear sitting down and waving all its paws” invites you to open up to new ways of acting, new responses in situations, new modes of self-expression, tune into and develop yourself rather than stifling yourself in order to please others.
The New Moon was on July 31 with the Moon and Sun together in Leo. This will influence our experiences until the next New Moon on August 30. This New Moon has some really beautiful sweet energies with Venus joining the Sun and Moon. There is also an element of unpredictability in the energies with insights potentially bursting forth from within you giving you new insights into how everything is connected to everything else at the same time you see the unique individuality of each of us, appreciating what characters we all all. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “Glass Blowers”. This involves recognizing that the shaping of new patterns and realities requires the controlled use of your energy with extreme care and attention to detail; releasing any fears that your creation may not last. There is a warning about failing to pay attention to details and thus acting carelessly as this can result in distortions and flawed creations.
This Eclipse Cycle began on July 2 and lasts until December 26. This period is about evaluation and consideration of the meaning of your life and your actions and how you want the rest of your life to go. There is a calling for you to open up to a greater awareness and learn to assume responsibility for using that awareness wisely with humility while operating fairly and being real and genuine. This is done by stepping back and getting the objectivity that will enable you to move more effectively towards your dreams recognizing that sometimes the reactions of others to you come from their problems and issues rather than from your actions. This is about acting from your true self rather than using a façade to cover up who you really are.
The Sun officially entered Cancer and Summer began on June 21. This is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. This seasonal pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 23. The strong vibrations for this summer emphasize a sensitivity to the stories of those around us and a recognition of our responsibility for those in our communities who have more problems than we do. The base Sabian Symbol for Summer is “A furled and unfurled flag displayed from a vessel” which shows that Summer is a time for seeing more clearly who you really are. This can result in making a commitment to a new orientation or cause and giving up your old ways. If you do not connect in with the deep core of yourself you may feel unstable and very moody. The reaction we have to the challenges of this season is shown by the symbol “A big white dove, a message bearer”. This is about learning to solve your issues by receiving gentle messages from outside or inside yourself as you are opening to the spirit and becoming more clearly connected into your core. If you do not open up to these messages you may find yourself caught in a cycle of doubt and depression believing things will never improve.
The Retrograde Diary:
Turning Backward of Uranus: Reworking Patterns of Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Turning Forward of Jupiter
{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.}

July 24 – Aug. 29: (15-14 Sag) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to move into a true alignment with the universal where you have banished the shadow and are showing forth the radiating light that shines from the Self, being open to the messages all around you, learning to cease being caught up in fear, always looking for confirmation of what you sense from others so that you can blame something or someone else for your decisions and not take personal responsibility [The ground hog looking for its shadow]

Aug. 14 – Sept. 21: (18-17 Pis) Reworking: Working on being able to experience a greater reality that encompasses everything, passionately sharing this inspiring vision with others, learning to cease feeling that you have all the answers and that you should be deferred to as you’re manipulating and exploiting those around you [A gigantic tent]
