The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Friday (9/23/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Mars (2*). The strongest vibration today is about drawing back and spending some time within yourself seeking to figure out what you are about and how you fit into the world. This is a time for checking inside yourself and seeking to reconcile your sense of yourself with your experiences that you have been having in the world. This is not so much about what others think of you, rather it is about what you think of yourself. There is a tendency here to consult those you respect and seek to learn from them. There is a need here to take action from the depths of your being. Be aware that this may not always go well as it is hard to take others into account when you are that deeply involved in yourself. (For VA Students: 8, 16)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
31 (2*) Embracing the mystery that we cannot know and thus being skeptical of simplistic answers given to life’s questions
16 (2*) Deep motivations and desires expressed as action
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Mars >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are 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. You are recognizing that you have a different viewpoint and knowledge base that is foreign to those around you and finding people who share your level of awareness. You are being pierced by a dart, showing you that the perfect form you have created is not enough and that you must take into account the world outside of yourself. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being pulled away from critical tasks, responding to outside interruptions, and losing your sense of yourself and your ability to pursue the opportunities available to you. You are burying your extended awareness deep within you afraid to communicate about it. You are getting stuck in your internal self-oriented focus and finding yourself immobilized as you hold onto your personal perspective and refuse to accept input from others.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
At 8:04 AM Mercury moves back into Virgo during its retrograde period bringing an opportunity to fix some things that have been bothering you.
Sep 23 – Sep 24 (exact Sep 24) Venus in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 11 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:51 AM on Sept 24 then decreasing fading out around 11:59 PM on Sept 24. This vibration is about attraction to beauty as an ideal. This can bring very romantic feelings and the desire to express them. It can also bring the potential for making something beautiful and artistic.
Sep 22 – Sep 23 (exact Sep 23) the Sun in Libra is joining with Mercury in Libra. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 2:30 PM. This vibration is about clear mental awareness. This is the conjunction of Mercury with the Sun during the retrograde period. This encounter sets the characteristics of the mental pattern for the next few months.
Sept. 15 – Oct. 22 (closest position Oct. 4, never exact) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is a repeat of a strong pattern that we saw in the last year where there is a focus on doing your own thing and not taking into account the ideas or needs of the rest of the world. This is a very independent, sometimes rebellious, pattern that can tend to be disruptive.
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.}
At 3:53 AM the Moon enters Virgo and is there for 2 ½ days bringing the sense of an elusive perfection that you would like to express here on earth. This can result in a desire to fix things that are not working the way they “should”.
There are no two planet patterns today involving the Moon
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 9:04 PM EDT, the Fall Equinox occurs as the Sun enters Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern involves tuning into yourself and following what is within you rather than seeking to meet external expectations. There is a sense of skepticism about simple pat answers. This comes from a sense of a depth to life with a deep mystery at the very core of life, a mystery that cannot be reduced down to words.. The Sabian Symbol for the Fall Equinox is “An Ancient Pottery Bowl filled with Violets”. This is about basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life. You are encouraged to develop a delicate and beautiful essence that radiates love, peace, beauty and simplicity.
On September 17 the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon September 25. This Vibrational Pattern is about seeing the big picture of how the past has been influencing the present. There is a sense of a flow from the past to the present with potential emotional reactions that reverberate through the community based on past experiences. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Flag at Half-Mast”. This is about learning to respond to the needs of others rather than being only absorbed in what you need and what affects you. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Man trimming Palms”. This presents the challenge of evaluating the growth and the changes within you and figuring out what is really enabling you to reach towards your goals and what is extraneous and needs to be removed.On September 10, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon September 25. The vibrational pattern of this Full Moon is challenging. There is a focus on our dreams and visions and a challenge to bring the deep dreams out into the world. This is always challenging as well as being critically important. If we decide to act on these deep inner awarenesses it can change our lives for better or worse. And this energy is so compelling that we are more likely than not to take those actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Ouija Board”. This relates to seeking outside guidance to improve your understanding of deep levels of disturbed energy within you that you are seeking to release. You are warned that you need to evaluate the guidance you receive and see if it is correct. The Moon Symbols is “A Gigantic Tent”. This symbol opens you up to enable you to experience a greater reality that encompasses everything. You are encouraged to passionately share this inspiring vision with others.
On August 27, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon September 25. In this vibrational pattern there is a very strong emphasis on accomplishing your goals in ways that are comfortable and pleasing to those around you. There is an abundance of energy available to do this and a tendency to claim the freedom to operate in the moment spontaneously. At the same time there is an almost instinctive ability to operate in ways that will flow harmoniously in your environment. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Man Dreaming of Fairies”. This is about using your imagination. It brings a tendency to see the deeper, invisible levels of the world and within yourself. There is the potential here to reintegrate some rejected aspects of yourself and your world. There is a warning here about using your imagination to escape from reality, which could mean losing touch with yourself and possibly getting caught up in delusions. The tendency with this New Moon is that it brings amazing potential if you will reintegrate the patterns you have rejected.
On May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.
On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awarenesses of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period of Mars: Turning back of Uranus: Reworking of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune: Turning forward 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 “!”}
