The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Yesterday and today, Friday (8/16/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Mars joining with Jupiter and Saturn (2*). The vibrational energy pattern today is about taking action and making changes to the way we view the world and how we understand what is possible in life. This is about achieving something new by taking big actions in a systematic disciplined way. You need to move through the steps of what you seek to accomplish one by one. (For VA Students: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20)
For two days now the effective use of the vibrational energy pattern involves initiating a new project, this is a time for beginning. Tools to use in this new pattern are alignment with universal patterns and using the universal pattern to guide your manifestation here on earth as you merge deeply into the new pattern you are beginning.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
4 (1*) Internal Motivation & Drive to introduce new concepts that change the world structure around you.
5 (1*) Exploration bringing natural, organic growth of awareness
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to have your mind guide your body, developing a more mature objective perspective on yourself and others. You are recognizing that you have a different viewpoint and knowledge base that is foreign to those around you and finding people who share your level of awareness. You are experiencing a greater reality that encompasses everything, passionately sharing this inspiring vision with others.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are reacting based on immature responses, caught up in illusions of how things should be, not being able to see what is happening within and around you. You are burying your extended awareness deep within you afraid to communicate about it. You are manipulating and exploiting those around you claiming that you have all the answers and that you should be deferred to.

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 of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}

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.}
On August 12, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on August 19, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is focused in building the community that will be really meaningful and effective for you to be a part of. There is a particular emphasis on another person who you feel is an especially important person to interact with and support as you build a better community. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Chickens Intoxicated” which involves stepping back and regrouping realizing that you need to go more slowly because you are making mistakes due to lack of experience or preparation. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Soldier Derelict in Duty” This symbol points to a realization that you are operating under binding structures and obligations that trap you in rigid intolerable patterns of duty and obligation that compromise your personal integrity and challenge you to revise your pattern of operation.
On August 4, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is about tangible achievements brought about by expanding your social connections. The most effective action is likely to be done by joining with others into an open creative community expressing independent thinking based on seeing the big picture. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An Old Sea Captain Rocking” which is about contemplating all that you have been experiencing and getting it in perspective. This increases your understanding and brings guidance for future action. It is important that you stay focused in the present rather than getting caught up in memory and disconnected from the current reality.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a potential for rebirth of the experience of beauty in our everyday life. There is a challenge to adjust and rebirth our dreams and visions. There is a strong sense of smooth flowing development and refinement of the inner self. This is a time to interact and explore on a deep inner level. This gives the potential for new patterns to form organically within you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon distance is “An Orangutan” which points to each of us sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within us. We are recognizing the need to refine and guide these forces into more mature expression. There is the possibility of distortion if you take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people.
On April 8, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings us into connection with each other. We understand more and more how the life experiences of others impact our own life experiences. There is a call to support others where they need support as we also respect the importance of each person fashioning their own life pattern. There is a challenge here to learn to work together harmoniously while still respecting each person’s individual experiences and understandings. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter”. Here we are making a tentative connection into and expressing the nurturing love that is the core of this realm of manifestation. This love is always there in the depths, if we will allow ourselves to connect into it, no matter what our situation. There is a warning here about trying to manipulate others by controlling what they need that they do not have access to on their own.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind pe ople’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury, Jupiter >> Introductory Period for Jupiter: Turning Back of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking of Mercury, Saturn, 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 “!!!”}
