The Vibrational Astrology Diary

Mercury turns Retrograde today at 6:41 AM EST, Saturn moves clear of any shadow
Today, Friday (1/14/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Jupiter and Uranus (0*). Today’s strongest vibrational pattern is occurring as Mercury is standing still relative to the sky. This standing still process is what happens as a planet changes direction or as we say in astrology turns Retrograde. Mercury as it changes direction is interacting with Jupiter and Uranus and taking us inside of ourselves to really think about the big picture and how we fit into it. There is a potential here for sudden insights, even possibly very big insights. And the nature of this vibration is that once you have evaluated things you are going to act on it. This is not an extremely strong energy, but it is the strongest one today and it is strongly focused because of Mercury changing directions. (For VA Students: Vibe(s): 16)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are quieting your mind and surroundings, opening up to interaction and communication with the sources of inspiration within and beyond you. You are patiently exploring the limitations to your ability to communicate freely and easily, finding your way through the blockages within, using narrow channels of true expression that you’re building that enable you to move through the blockage. You are opening to a nourishing mist of water bringing the blessings of the divine to you right now, attuning yourself to its loving care. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are retreating from interaction with other people and blocking yourself off from contact with your own inner core, rejecting spiritual guidance being offered you. You are frantically bouncing from one limitation to another, not slowing down enough to even recognize the reactive patterns in which you’re trapped . You are focusing on what you lack which keeps the blessings you could receive from flowing into you.

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}
Jan 11 – Jan 16 (not exact) the Mercury in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it gets its closest on Jan 14 when Mercury turns retrograde then decreasing fading out around 2 PM on Jan 16. After Mercury turns direct this aspect will become exact on February 24. This vibration is about the mind operating in the moment in a spontaneous, impulsive way. This can have you feeling scattered, it can also bring sudden insights into things you have been trying to figure out.
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quicker Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a short window of time around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 11:26 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:26 AM early January 14, the Moon in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period enables you to evaluate your personal patterns and instinctive responses and see where these are preventing you from accomplishing your long term goals. It can help you change these patterns.
Starting at 2:50 PM, peaking at 4:50 PM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a need to act to make your dreams come true in your life. Do something that makes your dreams more real.
Starting at 7:21 PM, peaking at 9:21 PM, the Moon in Gemini is opposing Mars in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period is about interaction with others stating your needs and seeking to achieve your goals in your relationships 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.}
On January 9 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries square to the Sun in Capricorn. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on January 17. This vibrational pattern brings a lot of internal reflection as well as deep analyses with others to figure out how to act more effectively. There is a sense of some type of emotional pattern that is being ignored or excluded that is key to how to act more effectively. The challenge is to be willing to be honest enough with yourself to be willing to acknowledge and embrace things that you don’t want to be aware of. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Hidden Choir Singing” which point to hidden messages perhaps intuitions that attune you to some hidden or spiritual level of life. There is a danger that you will fool yourself and seek to prove to others that you are very special and better than those around you. The Moon Symbol is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter” which reminds us that there is a nurturing love at the core of the realm of manifestation and even in times of apparent deprivation it is always there if you will open up and connect with it.
On January 2, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Capricorn. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 1.
This Vibrational Pattern has strong involvement from Uranus bringing a natural flow of impulsivity and spontaneity. There is a sense of the unique contribution that each person makes in the way they live their life and a desire to encourage them to truly be who they are. The message of this new moon would be to Reach for your dreams and open up to expressing them in your life. Let them color everything you do. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and Moon is “A Fire Worshiper” which calls on each of us to humbly recognize our ties to that divine essence which is at the heart of all things. This can open us to experiencing an exaltation and consummation which far transcends ambition. There is a warning about the potential of obsessing about yourself and perhaps overestimating you personal powers and abilities.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred with the Sun entering Capricorn and the Moon in Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern is about the importance and the beauty of old patterns and a very strong attraction to this. This is combined with a sense of the importance of the unique way each person can make contributions to life by connecting in with and expressing the unique essence within them. There is encouragement here to spend time inside yourself connecting into who you are in your core and to work on how that fits into the world around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun to Moon interaction is “Two Angels bringing Protection”. This encourages you to open up to the protection of the divine that is being offered to both your conscious and unconscious selves. Be open to people appearing to help just when you need them.
On December 4, a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This is the final event of this eclipse season. It will be influencing us at least until the start of the next Eclipse Season on April 30, 2022. There is a special emphasis in this Eclipse on evaluating the patterns we are living by. It is especially important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the ways that we have been understanding the world. There is a restlessness and a need to move out and find a different world that will work more effectively and be more satisfactory. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Widow’s Past brought to Light”. This is about facing your past actions, the destructiveness, and blindness that you have been involved in and taking responsibility for them. The emphasis is on working on the distorted patterns within you, making amends, and forgiving yourself and others so that you can make a new beginning.
On November 19, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus opposing the Sun 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 30, 2022. This Vibrational Pattern involves the Sun and Moon especially strongly interacting with Mercury. This shows that emotional patterns and history will be very important during this next 5 months. There is a focus on creating programs, concepts that are acceptable to everybody involved. There is also an awareness of the needs of people and how they are or are not being met. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The King of the Fairies approaching his Domain” which points to the importance of understanding your true essence, the domain within the core of your being where you’re truly and confidently in command of yourself. If you are not in touch with the core of your being you may try to use control to prove your superiority. The Moon Symbol is “A Woman pursued by Mature Romance”. This is about participating in a mature type of love that involves a greater awareness of your interconnectivity to others. There is a warning to not closing down to love because you are being guided by social expectations of what love means and what types of love are permissible.
The Retrograde Diary: CHANGES TODAY: Mercury Retrograde, Saturn clears shadow
Turning Backward of Mercury: Reworking of Venus: Turning Forward of Uranus, Neptune: Resolution of Jupiter, 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 “!”}
