The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Saturday (10/24/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter and Saturn joining with Pluto (1*). We return once more to the foundation pattern for this year. This pattern is building towards the last Jupiter-Pluto conjunction on November 12 and the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction on December 21. This is the process of facing ourselves and taking the necessary steps in expanding self-awareness that will bring personal growth. There are changes that are going to happen and we can work with them or fight them, but they will come. The building towards the Jupiter Pluto Conjunction brings an intense need to expand into a more real meaningful world that cannot be stopped. Do something in these days to expand your sense of yourself and your awareness of the world. Seek to move past the fixed ideas that have been keeping you stuck in a rut.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats. You are studying the shells remaining of ancient spiritual truths, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth.
The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve. 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 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}
Oct 23 – Oct 25 (exact Oct 24) Venus in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:40 AM then decreasing fading out around 8 AM on October 25. This vibration is about a desire to relate to beauty and love that is long-lasting. There is a process of evaluation that is going on during this vibration with patterns that are not long-lasting being eliminated.
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.}
Starting at 11:02 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:02 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is impulsive and spontaneous with a strong need to be free to do what you feel like doing.
Starting at 3:54 PM, peaking at 5:54 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a nice flow of energy that you can share with others. This is a good time to exercise, play sports or do physical work.
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 October 23, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Aquarius. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us for a week until the Full Moon on October 31. This vibration encourages sharing with others and indicates the potential for really creative results from such sharing. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A sight-seeing bus” which refers to initial exploration of strange new realms in company with others you are sharing with while at the same time keeping track of your own identity. The Symbol for the Moon is “An old adobe mission”. This points to the importance of making a deeper connection to the stability that underlies reality while keeping yourself open to varying perspectives on the truth.
On October 16 the Moon and Sun joined in Libra forming the New Moon. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on November 14-15. This New Moon is about the potential for action focused on the major pattern this year, the Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto interaction. This pattern is moving the whole world in a growth pattern of expanding our awareness growing in a controlled way into a world of greater connectedness where we recognize each person’s responsibility for themselves and your responsibility as a group to work together to build a better life for all of us. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A third wing on the left side of a butterfly”. This is about recognizing and facing our feelings of fragility as we go through changes that it is hard to understand. This is about a spiritual transformation that brings an expanded heart, greater capacity to nurture and greater sensitivity. The challenge is to be true to yourself but not to get caught in the trap of being different just for the sake of being different.
On September 22, the Sun enters Libra. This is the Fall Equinox when the days and nights are equal. This vibration will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern calls us to look inside of ourselves and see who we really are and whether we are being true to ourselves. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Butterfly made perfect by a dart through it” which involves recognizing that your personal understanding is limited and opening up to learn and flexibly relate to others and adjust based on how they are perceiving you and what they expect of you. The Moon Symbol is “A drowning man rescued”. This is about seeking help to better ground yourself and to take responsibility for your actions, learning how to be more effective.
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 Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES: Mercury, Mars
Reworking Patterns of Mercury, Mars, Uranus: Turning Forward of Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Jupiter
{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 “!”}
