The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

Neptune turns retrograde at 5:06 PM EDT
Yesterday and today, Friday (06/30/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Saturn (2*).  The strongest vibrational pattern today is a flow of harmonious energy that may be operating on a community level. This involves being sensitive to your interactions with others and operating in a harmonious way. The challenge is to maintain harmonious interactions while taking actions that will accomplish your goals. This is especially focused in connecting ideas and communicating. There is an emphasis at this time on analysis to develop an understanding of the foundational structures or most essential elements of whatever you are working on. (For VA Students: 3, 6, 9, 12)

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
29 (5*) Evolution through immersion in new world views
6 (3*) Free-flowing interaction with others

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Sun, Mercury, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are connecting in with new levels of awareness within you that still feel uncomfortable, going ahead and delightfully experiencing these newly developing levels, displaying them for everyone to see. You are sounding the call to awaken and alert yourself and others; asking for help from higher spiritual forces.

The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are letting your feelings of discomfort and insecurity keep you from developing the new potentials that you sense within you. You are overreacting and making uncalled for, unwarranted, exaggerated claims based on your internal imbalances.

8 Cancer = Sun merging with Mercury [Rabbits dressed in clothes and on parade]  You are connecting in with new levels of awareness within you that still feel uncomfortable, going ahead and delightfully experiencing these newly developing levels, displaying them for everyone to see and/or you are letting your feelings of discomfort and insecurity keep you from developing the new potentials that you sense within you

8 Pisces = Saturn [A girl blowing a bugle]  You are sounding the call to awaken and alert yourself and others; asking for help from higher spiritual forces and/or you are overreacting and making uncalled for, unwarranted, exaggerated claims based on your internal imbalances

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}

Jun 30 – Jul  4 (exact Jul  2) Venus in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around M and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:33 AM on July 2 then decreasing fading out around 9 AM on July 4. This vibration brings an alignment with beauty, especially rhythmic beauty. There is the potential for sudden attractions that flare up. Keep in mind that these intense attractions only last until this aspect finished if they are not supported in the base pattern of the two people.

Jun 30 – Jul 2 (exact Jul 1) Mercury in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 3:30 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:10 AM on July 1 then decreasing fading out around 3 PM on July 1. This vibration expands the mind enabling it to see the broad, big picture. This is about an overview like flying up in the clouds. This pattern tends to ignore the details.

Jun 30 – Jul 4 (exact Jul 1) the Sun in Cancer is joining with Mercury in Cancer. This vibe begins to influence us around 6 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:06 AM on July 1 then decreasing fading out around 9 PM on July 1. This vibration brings the start of the Mercury Sun cycle. This is a point of mental clarity setting the character of this next Mercury Sun cycle.

Jun 30 – Jul 2 (exact Jul 1) the Sun in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 12 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:26 AM on July 1 then decreasing fading out around 1:30 PM on July 2. This vibration is interacting with others in a harmonious expansive manner. This is an excellent vibration for any kind of expansion but especially favors social interactions where you can make new connections.

Jun 29 – Jul  1 (exact Jun 30) Mercury in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:23 AM then decreasing fading out around 1 PM on July 1. This vibration is about being engaged in analysis of your area of interest to determine what is the most fundamental or foundational aspects so you can 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 10:05 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:05 AM early June 30, the Moon in Scorpio is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Leo. In this 4 hr period you may find yourself more prone to be emotionally worked up.  Doing something active will use the energy in a constructive way.  Take a walk even if it’s just around the block or down the hall, do some squats, run in place, anything that uses the excess energy that is floating around right now.

Starting at 4:58 AM, peaking at 6:58 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams, they are living inside you and you are feeling them. You may find yourself daydreaming more than usual. You can use this time to get deeply in touch with your dreams and draw inspiration from them to help you make them more real.

Starting at 8:20 AM, peaking at 10:20 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period there is an easier connection into deeply buried feelings than at other times. There is an opportunity here to share these deep levels with your friends and to be open to them sharing their deep feelings with you. This exchange can sometimes have a healing quality and reduce the pain within you and your friends.

At 10:59 AM, the Moon enters Sagittarius.  The Moon in Sagittarius brings exuberant feelings and a desire to explore your external world and your internal world.  This 2 ½ days is a great time to explore someplace you have never been or to learn something new that you have been wondering about.

Starting at 9:08 PM, peaking at 11:08 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius 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 June 26, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on July 3. This vibrational pattern is very active and potentially explosive. This next week will contain situations where you need to take action but you can’t know precisely what is going on. You will not have enough information to make an informed decision by the time you must act. After gathering as much information as you can you will need to use your intuition to guide you. Recognize that you need to use the resources within you rather than being able to rely on others to guide you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Automobile wrecked by a Train”. This reminds us that it is important at this time to set aside your feelings and pay attention to what is going on around you so you can see the dangers and move into safer places. At this time your feelings can close you off and keep you from clearly connecting with the intuitive awareness within you. The Moon Symbol is “A Man teaching the True Inner Knowledge”which reminds us that we can learn the inner truths from others as well as from our internal connections. The challenge is to learn to recognize when you are hearing or seeing truth without your feelings or your ego distorting your perception.

On June 21, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 21. This is the longest day of the year and the shortest night. This vibrational pattern is dominated by the Sun Quincunx Pluto which shows that this is a time when each person must face and claim their own power and stand tall in it. There is an emphasis on working in support of your community this summer in very creative ways along with the potential for expansion through sudden insights and personal breakthroughs. The Sabian symbol for the Sun-Moon relationship is “A Christmas Tree decorated” which is like bringing the Winter Solstice into operation in the middle of Summer. This is about the light being reborn in the darkness within each of us.

On June 18, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 17. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on our communities. How are our communities operating? How well are they meeting the needs of the people within the communities? What can we do to improve the ways our communities function? This is combined with a restless sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo and a desire to change it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Gypsy coming out of the Forest” which is about moving beyond your previously restricted viewpoint and becoming aware of a larger reality.

On May 5, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational pattern is expansive and seeking to understand the different ways people can understand the world. This is often done by participating in a culture that is different from your culture of origin.  There is a strong need for the freedom to express yourself and to act on your feelings. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which helps you connect to the next more expansive level of awareness beyond where you currently are operating. The Moon Symbol is “A Gold Rush”. This helps you find and identify the rigid patterns within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. You can break up these rigid structures and open up to a deeper truer understanding of yourself.

On April 20 the New Moon a Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 14. This eclipse in Aries emphasizes your connection within yourself and encourages you to find a way to do what you feel called to do deep within you. There is a focus on interacting with the world and exploring whatever you are drawn to. This process can be very creative. And with this vibration it leads to taking actions based on your discoveries. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A Duck Pond and its Brood”. This is about recognizing that you are operating within a bounded, limited sphere of activity where you are inter-linked with a particular group of people. It is important to realize that you are interconnected with people in a larger realm and to realize that you need to take into account this larger realm rather than just focusing on the needs of your group.

The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Neptune turns retrograde at 5:06 PM EDT >> Introductory phase of Venus, Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Backward of Saturn, Neptune: Reworking of 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 “!”}
