The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Friday (7/31/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Neptune (2*). This vibration is focused on your sense of mission and purpose as you seek to share special dreams and ideals with those around you. There is a strong drive to act in accordance with your ideals and to make your reality be the amazing magical reality of your dreams. There is a desire here for sparkle and glitter. So go today to some place that feels special and a little other worldly, a place that has a special glow and atmosphere. This will be more special today than some other time. The big picture, the large perspective is also emphasized today and there will be things possible if you step back and see the big picture that are not possible otherwise.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mars and Neptune
The message from the featured planets is that this is a time of shaping new patterns and realities through controlled attention to detail and extreme care as you are detaching yourself from your immediate experience and getting an broad overview of the whole pattern. This enables you to open up to the light of the spirit gently nourishing, renewing and refreshing you as you release doubt and fear and recognize the value of every level of consciousness within the world and beyond it.

The Dancing 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}
Jul 31 – Aug 1 (exact Aug 1) Mercury in Cancer is opposing Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 5 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:52 AM on August 1 then decreasing fading out around 9 PM on August 1. This vibration is focused on your mental activity and involves things you are almost compulsively focused on. This is a good time to work on a project you need to finish.
Jul 30 – Jul 31 (exact Jul 30) Mercury in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 5 AM. This vibration is about colorful sparkling dreams that seem to almost be magical. There is a sense of other worldliness to these dreams that makes them very appealing. You need some type of special exciting experience right now that is dreamy and visionary.
Jul 29 – Jul 31 (exact Jul 30) Mercury in Cancer is opposing Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 1 AM. This vibration encourages you to step back from your involvements with other people and look at the big picture of how your interaction is fitting into the larger perspective of the world around you.
Jul 18- Aug 7 (exact Jul 27) Jupiter in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 2 AM on August 7. This vibration is especially focused on expanding your dreams through sharing with others in harmonious ways and through collaboration with like minded people.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a
couple of hours either side of their peak time.}
At 7:58 AM the Moon enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation is appropriate, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
There are no two planet patterns involving the Moon today.
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 July 27 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Scorpio. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on August 3. This vibrational pattern has a strong emphasis on using your feelings of attraction to your dreams as motivation to act on your dreams and as if your dreams were a reality. There is also the advice that stepping back and looking at the big picture will help you further your dreams. This is a very action oriented quarter moon. However, it is important to spend some time turning inward and really getting in touch with what your dreams are and what you want to have happen in your life. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Rock Formations at the edge of a precipice” which is about release any rigid patterns inside you that you have been trapping yourself in. It is critical that you let go and open up. The Moon Symbol is “A massive, rocky shore”. This indicates that you are crossing the rough and rugged shore that borders the spiritual realm until you release some old established patterns and shift into more of a feeling of love and compassion. Ask yourself what blocks you from operating out of love and compassion and see if you can forgive yourself and let go. There is love there waiting for you to open up to it and embrace it.
On July 20 the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibrational pattern brings a sensitivity to what those around you are experiencing with a strong desire to take action that will lead to a better future for everyone. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Muse weighing twins”. This is about recognizing that you consider all the factors and collect as much information as you reasonably can and then you make an intuitive decision about which way to go. You are warned to not seek perfection, it will keep you from making a decision and doing what needs to be done.
The Eclipse Season was from June 4 through July 5 and the patterns of this season will be in effect at least until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. The Eclipses begin by helping us to recognize that there is something special within each of us and that it is important for each of us to communicate our ideas clearly recognizing that there is a give and take to life as we share with each other. It then reminded us that we need to be adaptable and realize that we are being called to a new orientation to life. Each of us need to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves to more effectively respond to the demands of ourselves and our world. We need to develop a bigger focus that encompasses all of the universe recognizing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves while at the same time being open to ancient truths that may contain wisdom that will help us to be more aware and more effective.
The Sun entered Cancer on June 20. This is the Summer Solstice, one of the 4 seasonal turning points for the year. This will be influencing us for 3 months until the Fall Equinox on September 22. This vibration is about working things through in your mind and then acting on what you figure out. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “Winter Frost in the Woods”. This is about each of us having all the excess trimmed away so that we can connect in with the bare essential structure within us and connect in with our innate strength. You deal with feelings of fear and loss by connecting into the core of yourself, the spiritual center of your being. This leads to you opening yourself up to the wonder and mystery of life and developing a greater awareness of your connection with others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES: Mars
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto: Resolution of Venus
{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.}
