The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Friday (1/19/2024),the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Venus (1*). The strongest vibrational energy pattern today is evaluating your long term plans to express yourself that you have been developing deep within yourself. This is a process of testing out and evolving the pattern that most effectively meets your deep inner needs to express yourself. There is a special focus on the combining of ideas in a beautiful way within you. You are likely to clearly see what you are really attracted to at this time. (For VA Students: 32)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
32 (3*) Action plans formulated within yourself and then acted upon at the right moment.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Venus >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are beginning to read, with great clarity, the hidden level of reality, putting aside your skepticism, opening to your intuitive awareness, taking responsibility for your impact on everything around you. You are resting in the light and love that is around you, clearing your motives and learning to use power correctly with a resulting surge of happiness and delight. You are working on cutting away the dross and revealing the true essence buried deep within yourself.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are superstitiously depending on signs around you and blindly following these signs, not taking responsibility for your life or your decisions. You are whining and complaining about anything and everything, focusing on the problems and not the blessings in your life. You are being locked in rigid shapes that obscure your true essence and doggedly hanging onto these patterns, expecting change without any effort on your part.

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 19 – Jan 21 (exact Jan 20) the Sun in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 9 AM on Jan. 19 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:46 AM on Jan. 20 then decreasing fading out around 9 AM on Jan. 21.This vibrational energy pattern brings an intense need to tune into your mission and purpose and focus on expressing your mission. At this time you need to find some way to get more tuned into and more active in doing what you feel you are born to do.
Jan 18 – Jan 20 (exact Jan 19) Venus in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:49 AM on Jan. 19 then decreasing fading out around 9 AM on Jan.20. This vibrational energy pattern is attracted to the beauty of your dreams and ideals and focuses on taking action on these dreams.
Jan 18 – Jan 20 (exact Jan 19) Mercury in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:31 AM on Jan. 19 then decreasing fading out around 12:30 AM on Jan. 20.This vibrational energy pattern brings an objective view of the big picture giving the ability to step back and see the broader picture of what is happening.
Jan 17 – Jan 19 (exact Jan 18) Mercury in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Jan. 19.This vibrational energy pattern is very analytical. It is seeking to get to the foundation or core of the area, concept or whatever that you are working on. It will dig down in and figure what the essential underlying structure or core is and focus there.
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 8:26 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:26 PM yesterday, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is probably going to have your emotions and moods whooped up a bit, you will tend to focus on something you want to do and really get on with it. You may get upset if someone interferes at this time, you won’t want to be interrupted or blocked.
Starting at 11:11 AM, peaking at 1:11 PM, the Moon in Taurus is joining with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions may be scattered and moving quickly from one thing to another. There is the possibility of sudden insights but be sure you have something to write them down on as they will be hard to remember later.
Starting at 10:40 PM, peaking at 12:40 AM early January 19, the Moon in Taurus 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.
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 17, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Capricorn. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on January 25, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is connected into deep patterns within us that are affecting our behavior. It challenges us to evaluate our motives and drives, especially one’s that are subconscious and see if we are really operating in the ways we would like to operate. Are you accomplishing the things that you want to accomplish in your life? You have to pull up your subconscious patterns and beliefs and see if they are bringing the results you want. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Large Aviary” which recognizes that we are entering into more profound levels of spiritual awareness and being able to recognize spiritual messages in all that is around us. We need to learn to sort out the true messages in the many experiences we are having. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Large Disappointed Audience”. This is about being confronted with the results of your lack of awareness, personal preoccupation and blindness that may have disappointed and hurt others. You can either face your failings and mistakes or you can hold onto your personal perspective and get angry with others for not going along with your agenda and your personal preoccupations.
On January 11, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Capricorn. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 9, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is quite compelling. There are deep emotional patterns that may surface at this time and influence our behavior. It is likely that we will tend to think very quickly and impulsively express our thoughts without regard to how those thoughts will impact others. Our communities, the groups we are associated with are feeling very important at this time and we may find creative ways to support our communities. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Relay Race”. This is about learning to work with others with each of us doing their part as you strive to reach a common goal.
On December 21 the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 19. This is the shortest day of the year. After the Winter Solstice the days start getting longer and by the Spring Equinox the temperature starts to catch up with the lengthening days. The Solstice brings a flow of unfolding energy that contains the potential for a rebirth in our understanding of both the past and the present. There is a sense of being called to walk in harmony with the people and the world around us as we tune into what is really fundamental and foundational. The Vibration between the Sun and the Moon gives us the Sabian Symbol of “A Case of Apoplexy”. Apoplexy is an old name for something like a stroke where you are temporarily unconscious from an overload in your system. This speaks to very contradictory feelings wanting to express but feeling anxious and fearing disapproval. This is about facing that which is within you that may be inhibiting your ability to truly express what you are. You are meant to shine as a reflection of the one light connecting into something beyond yourself.
On October 28 the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on Mar 25, 2024. This vibrational energy brings a deep desire to expand your emotional connections and to learn new and different things. There is an underlying whisper of dreams of beauty and exotic experiences. There may be some tendency to project your dreams into the world and not know what is real and what is not. There is a strong need to participate in a new and different worldview that will at least give the hope of involvement in a creative community. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Gold Rush” which can represent you going out into the rugged dangerous depths of yourself and seeking to break up the rigid structures within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. The Moon Symbols is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge”. Here is the opportunity to build a bridge that will cross the abyss and connect you to the next level of awareness. This is not something we can do by ourselves, but if you ask for help from spirit, you will receive it.
On October 14, 2023 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy is particularly oriented towards involvement in creative groups. There is a desire to explore without an agenda and see what wonders you can find. This involves a passion for learning and applying what you have learned. There is a desire to expand emotionally at a pace you can handle effectively. There is also a need to go out and act and express yourself, make your life happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Child giving Birds a Drink at a Fountain”. This is about drawing from the fountain of spiritual nourishment, replenishing yourself and generously sharing with those around you who are not able to obtain it for themselves.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period for Pluto: Turning Forward of Uranus, Neptune: Resolution of Mercury, Jupiter, 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 “!!!”}
