The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Note: Pluto begins the next Retrograde cycle 23 days before the old cycle ends.
Today, Friday (1/10/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Jupiter and Uranus (1*). This vibrational energy pattern is focused on patterns. It takes the cultural patterns and products around it and internalizes them. It is seeking to evaluate how effect these patterns are. What are the patterns around you? What is connected with what? How effective are the patterns you are evaluating? Is there a way to make these patterns work better? There is an attraction here to rich expansive beauty and a tendency to make big impulsive gestures. You may want to go out and dance, this energy would really love that. (For VA Students: 19)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by using the universal pattern as a guide to making patterns here on earth work more effectively. Working together in networks and having each person carry their own part of the responsibility will improve your results.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are sounding the call to awaken and alert yourself and others; asking for help from higher spiritual forces. You are working with patience, discipline, and brilliant inspiration, guided by intuition, in the growth, development and expression of mastery. You are recognizing your failures and the damage your blindness has done to others, facing it in this current moment; accepting responsibility for the damage you have done and seeking to make amends.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are overreacting and making uncalled for, unwarranted, exaggerated claims based on your internal imbalances. You are taking for granted your current level of mastery, basking in adulation, and not doing the work necessary to maintain and expand your mastery. You are getting caught up in your sense of pride and aggressively claiming what you desire without any concern for the effect your behavior has on others.

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}
Jan 10 – Jan 15 (exact Jan 12) Mars in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This energy begins to influence us around 7 AM on Jan. 10 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:15 PM on Jan. 12 then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Jan. 15. This vibrational energy pattern is about a need to have your dreams unfold in a flow as you follow them. You are likely to be reaching out further and further into unknown territory seeking your dreams.
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 7:18 AM, peaking at 9:18 AM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Venus in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a desire to feel beautiful. You will probably be more aware of your appearance and the appearance of the world around you. You may be moved to make something around you look nicer.
Starting at 3:01 PM, peaking at 5:01 PM, the Moon in Gemini is joining with Jupiter in Gemini. This 4 hr period brings a time when you will feel emotionally expansive and want to share with others in a big way. Enjoy this lovely expansive energy. If something unpleasant happens take care to not overreact.
Starting at 8:15 PM, peaking at 10:15 PM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period is a time when you want to focus on what is really important in your life and take actions to support those things. This could involve things like working on long-term projects or cleaning out the things that are not important. So this is a good time to clean up something that has been bothering you.
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 January 6, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Capricorn. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on January 13. This vibrational energy is about balancing your internal experience of yourself and life with a need to interact with others in a flowing harmonious way. You are going to be very hands on both developing your personal awareness and seeking to find effective ways to interact with people and find things in common with those around you. You are recognizing the importance of honoring your personal sense of how life works and at the same time relating well with others. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is “A Girl surreptitiously bathing in the nude” which is about you finding a way to remove yourself from the control or power of others and to covertly open yourself to a greater contact with all that is around you honoring your natural instincts. The symbol for the Moon is “Two Prim Spinsters”. This is about turning inward to break free of the bonds of traditional restrictions so that you can open up to the expression of the impulsive side of yourself or focusing on a rigid control of your impulses where you withdraw and find that you are threatened by the exuberant expression of life.
On December 30, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Capricorn. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 29. This vibrational energy is about taking impulsive actions based on what you are attracted to. There is a tendency to operate out of your internal sense of what you need to do to respond in uncertain situations without regard for the ideas of others. At the same time you are likely to be involved with other people and what is happening in their lives. Your response to these situations may well be unique and surprising. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An Albatross feeding from the Hand”. This is about facing the aspects of yourself that might feel like burdens or curses and becoming aware of the fears that lie below them. You are called to seek to redefine and nurture these disturbed aspects of yourself as you recognize and embrace your common linkage with all creatures. Recognize that sometimes you need to let go of your familiar patterns and reach beyond yourself.
On December 21, the Sun entered Capricorn. This is the Winter Solstice and this pattern will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy includes energies for emotional expansion. There is a focus on internal work and awareness where you evaluate and develop your internal self. The process would be to eliminate superficial energies from within yourself and to work on deepening your internal awareness and connections. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “The Germ grows into Knowledge and Life”. Here you find a germ of potential understanding within you and you work on developing and growing that new awareness, expanding your knowledge and connection with life. There are potential problems if you let your insecurity keep you from opening up to the broader truths in the situation.
On October 2, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern shows a strong need for the freedom to express yourself as you feel inside. This involves the development of your own unique pattern of expression being within your culture but free to operate as who you truly are with the awarenesses you have developed. If this is blocked there is likely to be a strong sense of dissatisfaction where you join with others and reach out seeking to find another more satisfactory place. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Professor peering over his Glasses” which encourages you to move beyond your normal mode of perception to perceive a more comprehensive reality where others are viewed kindly, seriously and with respect.. The challenge is to not get caught up in a superior position that distorts your perception and leads to you seeing others as inferior to you where they need to be bossed around for their own good.
On September 17, 2024, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on dreams and ideals that last past death. This is about tuning into the long term patterns of unfolding evolving awareness that transcend the resistance of the moment. There is a major focus in this eclipse on evaluation of your motives and drives to be sure you are getting the result you want. There is also a balancing of your individual view of life against what works for everyone else. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Boy with a Censer” which involves learning how to expand your awareness and accept responsibility for both yourself and your interactions with others by modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed. The Moon Symbol is “A New Moon that divides its Influences” which involves learning how to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision. If you do not realize that everyone is connected you may start feeling alone and isolated.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Pluto starts its new cycle >> Introductory Phase of Pluto2: Reworking of Mars, Jupiter: Turning Forward of Uranus, Neptune: Resolution of Saturn, Pluto1 {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 “!!!”}
