The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
At 11:53 AM, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and Moon in Taurus.
Yesterday and today, Friday (05/19/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Jupiter and Pluto (2*). This vibrational pattern is tied in with your motivations and the drives within you that push you to take action. This is combined together to lead you to effective actions. There is a strong need here for big actions. You potentially may see ways to expand your current activities and to become active and effective on a grander scale. In fact, you may feel a very strong push deep within you to move into more expansive modes of operation. (For VA Students: 4, 8, 12)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
20 (5*) A need to take action related to playful, creative organic exploration
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Pluto >>>The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are having complicated, contradictory feelings within you especially insecurity, fear of disapproval and anxiety which you seek to deal with through a temporary retreat where you sort things out one at a time. You are opening to the flow of nourishment and love coming to you in life in an unending stream; letting it flow through you to others. You are studying the remaining shells of ancient spiritual groups, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being overwhelmed by the intense contradictory pressure of insecurity, fear of disapproval and anxiety within you having it either burst out in the excessive response of an over-inflated ego or create a block within you so that you are unable to function, possibly temporarily losing consciousness. You are holding onto the nourishment and love you receive, refusing to share it with others; thus blocking the flow, preventing this necessary flow of nourishment and love from continuing to bring you what you need. You are dogmatically pushing your beliefs on others, believing that you know the one and only true way, seeking to force other people to follow your beliefs.

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}

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 7:39AM, peaking at 9:39 AM, 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.
At 11:53 AM, the Moon in Taurus is joining with the Sun in Taurus. This is the New Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 11:51AM, peaking at 1:51 PM, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Cancer. In this 4 hr period you want to express your emotions in an active harmonious way sharing with others. This is a great time for group activities or meetings or for social sharing or for team sports.
At 2:48 PM the Moon enters Gemini bringing 2 ½ days where your mood may be light hearted and you may just feel like exploring your world especially in combination with spending time with friends. This is a wonderful time to stop and smell the roses or walk down the main drag in your town go into some of the shops you have never been in to just learn what they are doing. You may discover something really exciting.
Starting at 1:20 PM, peaking at 3:20 PM, the Moon in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period deep feelings within you that you have buried could affect your mood. Be aware that you may be reacting to the past rather than the present. Ask yourself if you have felt this way in the past and when and with whom. Be prepared to walk away from a situation if you get triggered.
Starting at 3:18AM, peaking at 5:18 AM, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Cancer. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, those with whom you feel a soul connection.
Starting at 5:28 PM, peaking at 7:28 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.
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.}
At 11:53 AM EDT, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on June 18. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of restless dissatisfaction as you seek to figure out what are the foundational patterns you are dealing with. Thus you find yourself reaching out seeking to discover something that you may have missed in your previous evaluation.
The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Two Cobblers working at a Table”. This challenges you to explore different points of view and not hold onto one point of view considering it to be the only way to understand the pattern you are working on.
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 our connection with ourselves 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 we 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.
On March 20 the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun enters Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 21. This is the balancing point of the year when the days and nights are of equal length. This year’s Spring Equinox brings a strong feeling of needing to have your ideas be exceptional and amazing. The vibration for Spring is deeply involved in sharing other people’s stories and there is a tendency to act based on the things you have learned from others to seek to make the lives of those around you better. The Sabian Symbol for the distance from the Sun to the Moon is “A master instructing his pupil. This is about participating in the transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom, being open to receiving deep insights from unexpected places. This energy becomes distorted if you claim a superior status and special privileges based on your position. This is about recognizing the worth and authority of each person.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory phase of Saturn, Uranus: Turning Backward of Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, Uranus {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 “!”}
