The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Friday (5/23/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon and Venus joining with Mars (1*). This vibrational energy pattern is about the strong need for a harmonious flowing environment and community. Action needs to be taken in ways that are compatible with the entire group. This is supported by inner work that would make the whole process deeper. The value of history is appreciated and you want to be actively directly involved in the process of connecting the beauty of history with the events of today. For VA Students (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by solidifying and stabilizing your project bringing it into form, both merging with the project activity and joining with others in a network to accomplish what the individuals can’t accomplish by themselves.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Moon, Venus, Mars >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are living in a sense of celebration of the joy of life found within each moment of existence. You are finding that after turmoil there is a clearing of the air and a resolving of the many issues that have been building up; allowing you to release tension and joyfully embrace the present moment.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are feeling empty and disillusioned due to having disconnected from the spontaneous joy of life . You are operating in fear constantly looking around for the next storm that may appear, bouncing from one extreme emotion to another without ever letting go.

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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
May 23 – May 25 (exact May 24) the Sun in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Aquarius. This energy begins to influence us around 11:30 AM on May 23 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:55 AM on May 24 then decreasing fading out around 1 PM on May 25. This vibrational energy pattern calls you to focus on your purpose and mission in life letting it flow through you and into your actions.
May 21 – May 23 (exact May 22) the Sun in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 10 AM on May 23. This vibrational energy pattern is seeking amazing out-of-this-world experiences. Stop and look at a flower and let yourself see how amazing it is.
May 19 – May 24 (exact May 22) Venus in Aries is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Leo. This energy is decreasing fading out around 7 PM on May 24. This vibrational energy pattern brings a need to put energy into making the world around you more beautiful, more proportioned, more balanced. Your attraction rises up within you and brings an expression of your unique perspective on the areas of concern.
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 2:13 PM, peaking at 4:13 PM, the Moon in Aries is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Leo. 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 3:12 PM, peaking at 5:12 PM, the Moon in Aries is joining with Venus in Aries. This 4 hr period should bring some really good feelings and a focus on loving caring relationships that reach out to celebrate the unique sense each person has of who they are.
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 May 20, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 26, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a potential for sudden unexpected events that can significantly change the world. You are likely working inside of yourself figuring out what you really need to do and what is especially important to you so you can figure out how to more effectively focus your energy. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Peacock parading on an Ancient Lawn” which is about are celebrating your body as an unfolding of natural beauty and delightful rightness that is an expression of the ancient supporting foundation pattern of your core that is manifesting through you. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Field of Ardath in Bloom” which is about embracing the connections you have with everything around you, from sources both ancient and modern, celebrating the new, amazing fruit, coming from the seeds of the ancient past, adapted and nurtured by the present and now manifesting in beauty and abundance.
On May 12, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 26, 2025.This vibrational energy pattern is very much focused on being in the moment and responding spontaneously in the moment. There may be an unexpected surprise occurring at this time. There is an awareness that everyone is a unique valuable individual and a focus on helping each person connect into their true gifts and purpose. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Jewelry Shop” which is about you beginning to sense that you are one of the jewels, a part of the divine awareness. You can vaguely sense a higher purpose, a distant potential. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Bunny metamorphosed into a Fairy”. This is about experiencing the metamorphosis of aspects of the ordinary reality around you into their wondrous, magical, spiritual essence and starting to develop a greater awareness of this expanded realm.
On April 27, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 26, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern has you doing what you decide to do internally with no regard for the opinions of others. This can be risky. There is a sense of compulsive action that drives you whether it makes sense or not. There is a possibility of moving beyond self driven action into a form of exploration and interaction with that which you are attracted to that lets go of the drive to accomplish something and instead, just explores for the sake of exploration. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Sleigh without Snow”. This is about being aware of the unfolding of future possibilities and developing the skills and tools needed to meet those possible future situations. The alternative is to accept your current limitations, get caught up in your frustrations and be unable to move beyond them.
On March 29, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of dissatisfaction and a restless searching that is reaching out to find something more satisfactory. There is a sense of connecting into another level of awareness that is idealistic and visionary. This awareness can either open you up to amazing deep spiritual truths or bring a sense of confusion and deceit and betrayal that needs to be penetrated to get to the truths underneath it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon Solar Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to Immediate Service”. This is about totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. Remaining focused at this time enables you to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On March 20, the Spring Equinox occurred with the Sun entering Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern is focused on our dreams and whether we are seeing the potential for them to become a part of our everyday life. Part of this is tapping into ourselves and being clear what kinds of dreams are speaking to us. Then comes being willing to act on those dreams and express them. This means taking risks, putting yourself out there. Remember you cannot succeed without taking the risk of failing. Count each failure as a step toward success. The Sun-Moon angle for the Spring Equinox is the Sabian Symbol “A Woman and two Men on a bit of sunlit land facing south”. This is about learning to be flexible and open. There is the potential here to see clearly how you can make appropriate choices to act either in the realm of Spirit or the realm of Matter as appropriate. You may discover competing needs within you. If you disconnect from that which is around you and isolate yourself you may experience a devastating sense of estrangement.
On March 14, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern helps us connect into what we really feel deep inside of us. It encourages us to be true to those internal feelings. This can involve letting go of some emotional feelings that do not really serve us. There is a strong focus on working with others helping them to connect into the deep patterns within them that show who they really are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Inhabited Island” which is about you truly grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. Take care to not be putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you and focus only on yourself feeling alienated, deserted and alone. The Moon Symbol is “Mary and her little Lamb”, which is about loving yourself and those around you, operating based on love, kindness and friendship for mutual support, while maintaining your boundaries and your sense of self-integrity. There is a danger here of you or the other person becoming overly dependent on the other.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Back of Pluto: Resolution of Venus, 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 “!!!”}
