The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Friday (02/17/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Venus and Uranus (1*). This vibration can bring spontaneous inspiration and sudden insights into your life and life in general. The mind is not working in logical patterns. Instead it is as if ideas and awarenesses evolve within you and you find yourself connecting different types of things that you have not seen as related to each other in the past. You may be able to sense the new evolving patterns that are coming into form at this time and today you can instinctively adjust yourself to the new cycles of this moment. You are focusing in your mind on what you love that which is attractive to you and you are seeking to express this right now in this moment without regard to what might be expected of you or what the consequences of your communication may be. This can have you impulsively saying what you really like or dislike in a situation without thinking about how that may appear to others. If you write you may find yourself expressing some really radical ideas today. If you are artistic, try to find some time to express your art, letting whatever impulse you feel be expressed without restriction. You may find something very significant and unusual happening. Whatever your inclination, try to find some place where you can express the things that are bubbling up in you, and be sure to have a notebook with you so you can write down the awarenesses you may experience today. (For VA Students: 15, 30)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)

30 (2*) Creative Harmonious Shared Interaction with Others
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, Uranus >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring a deeper level of spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. You are celebrating the abundant fullness of the harvest within your soul, guided by the divine, recognizing that you have a responsibility to preserve that which you have gathered for the future. You are operating in a rational, evaluative way that is balanced with intuitive awareness, experiencing a natural balance that enables you to respond appropriately in each situation. You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries. You are connecting into the flow of spiritual inspiration moving through you and out into the world, being flexible and open to that which you have not previously known or experienced. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position. You are being surrounded by abundance and wastefully neglecting to properly care for the bounty you have been given, leaving it to rot and be wasted. You are being obsessed with work, constantly seeking to further your own ends, focusing on being in charge and in control of everything around you. You are feeling trapped, powerless and impotent, unable to even consider that you might be able to make a change in the way you function. You are closing up and being caught in a cycle of negativity that limits your perceptions and shuts you off from others.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Feb 17 – Feb 18 (exact Feb 17) Mercury in Aquarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Aries. This vibe begins to influence us at around 2:30 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:13 PM, then decreasing and fading out around 4 PM on Feb. 18. This vibration is working on seeing the big picture, recognizing the greater patterns that are influencing all of us and helping each of us see how we are fitting into this greater pattern and what our contribution is to the unfolding patterns of this time. It brings an ability to step back and look at the big picture and to share this process with others. This is a very pleasant vibration and can bring some very nice shared experiences today and tomorrow. There is especially potential to get a greater insight into relationships with other people and how to interact more harmonious with other people. This is an especially important time to gather with others and work together. There is a tendency here to think big. Just be sure to accurately evaluate your chances.
Feb 15 – Feb 17 (exact Feb 16) the Sun in Aquarius is joining with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is decreasing and fading out around 3 PM. This vibration brings a sense of the importance of responding in each situation by expressing the fundamental truths that are relevant to that situation. You will find you can more quickly and clearly see what is truly important in each situation so that you can address that in your response.
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 10:55 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:55 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in an organic way based on a sense of objective awareness.
Starting at 1:16 PM, peaking at 3:16 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period could bring a distracted dreamy feeling when you are not really sharply focused. Instead you may find yourself day-dreaming about what you would like your life to be like. This is a good time to dream, but not a good time to act on those dreams. Wait until you are thinking more clearly.
Starting at 6:06 PM, peaking at 8:06 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, those with whom you feel a soul connection.
Starting at 9:18 PM, peaking at 11:18 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn.This 4 hr period is likely to bring some deep intense emotional feelings with perhaps an awareness of older patterns that are influencing your reactions right now.
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 11:01 AM EST on February 13, the Third Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Scorpio acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Aquarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the New Moon on February 20. This vibrational energy brings an intense need to expand and grow. There is a deep sense of restless dissatisfaction that is pushing you based on a view of the big picture that challenges you to use your mind to find ways to get involved in a hands on way seeking to bring about changes that will bring a deeper meaning and greater significance to your life. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed”. This is an opportunity to transform your active assertive impulses, placing them at the service of a greater awareness, taking care to keep your emotions in balance, being guided by your intuitive awareness. Make sure you are not being lopsided and out of balance with your emotions overwhelming your rational responses and your intuitive awareness being ignored. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “An X ray”. This is an opportunity to learn to look deeply below the surface and see the fundamental structures that underlie your current reality. Try not to use subtle manipulations to invade other people’s space to reveal that which is hidden so you can use it failing to understand the true implications of what you are finding.
On February 5, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Leo opposing the Sun in Aquarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 20. This vibrational energy is very focused in the moment. There is the potential for spontaneous impulsive action that can be brilliant or disasterous. Take special care when driving with this pattern. There is a focus in your community and you may find yourself more involved in your community than you have been. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A watchdog standing guard”. This is an opportunity to recognize the importance of being aware and alert at all times so that you can recognize the beliefs, attitudes or persons that may be acting to undermine or damage you while still living in a sense of the beauty of life and of other people. Try not to feel suspicious of everyone and everything around you. You may not realize how your own attitudes, beliefs and behaviors are creating the negative responses you’re getting from others. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “A nonvested church choir”. Here there is an opportunity to begin to interact with others in a relaxed and open way, seeking to genuinely express yourself by forming harmonies that are blending your voices together beautifully. Make sure you are not retiring into the background, being afraid to interact because you do not believe in your own worth or being overly critical of others feeling threatened that you will lose your position in the group.
On January 21, the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Aquarius joining with the Moon in Aquarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 20.This vibrational energy is related to being aware of how you are being affected by other people’s actions. It is important to tune into what others can tell you about their lives and you are going to act differently because of what you learn from others. You may feel a need to join together and seek a bettern answer for both of you. There is unusual opportunities for effective communication with this vibrational energy. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An unexpected thunderstorm”. This symbol is about experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality. Try not to lose control and explode emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy brings a sense of spontaneous joy on the surface. On a deeper level there is an awareness of the importance of community and concern for the places where community fails and people fall through the cracks. There seems to be a strong emphasis, this season, on finding ways to more effectively respond to those among us who are not being supported by community in a good way. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “A jockey”. It comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon and it means you are learning how to pace yourself and evaluate your situation then move forward quickly when the time is right, recognizing that the process is more important than the outcome. Try not to rush ahead without thought, getting carried away; seeking to win at all costs and finding that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mars >> Introductory Period for Pluto: Resolution of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, 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 “!”}
