The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Friday (9/30/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Pluto (2*). The strongest vibration today involves interaction and exploration with others. There is a real potential for creativity in the process and harmonious interactions with others will help you to function effectively today. Energy is very intensely focused in this process and there is a strong desire to take action. Be aware that you can misjudge with this vibrational pattern and put in too much energy in which case everything will fall apart. However, there is going to be intense focused energy no matter what, just watch it. Go out and just explore with no particular plan in mind and you may well find something important. (For VA Students: 10, 20, 30)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mars Pluto >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing that there are three different states of consciousness within you, the conscious level, all the processes below consciousness, and the level of greater spiritual awareness, and that all three levels are equally important. You are experiencing the surging up of knowledge, needs and values that have been ignored but are now rising to demand their due, focusing on the importance of a balanced distribution of energy and attention in all areas of your life, internal and external. You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring a deeper level of spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are limiting yourself to the conscious awareness of your mind and ego and denying that there is anything else operating within you. You are maneuvering to get more than your share of the resources available or feeling that your needs and issues do not count and that there’s nothing you can do about it. You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position.
9 Libra = Sun [Three old masters hanging in an art gallery] You are recognizing that there are three different states of consciousness within you, the conscious level, all the processes below consciousness, and the level of greater spiritual awareness, and that all three levels are equally important and/or you are limiting yourself to the conscious awareness of your mind and ego and denying that there is anything else operating within you
21 Gemini = Mars [A labor demonstration] You are experiencing the surging up of knowledge, needs and values that have been ignored but are now rising to demand their due, focusing on the importance of a balanced distribution of energy and attention in all areas of your life, internal and external and/or you are maneuvering to get more than your share of the resources available or feeling that your needs and issues do not count and that there’s nothing you can do about it
27 Capricorn = Pluto [A mountain pilgrimage] You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring a deeper level of spiritual awareness into yourself and the world and/or you are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position
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}
Sep 30 – Oct 2 (exact Oct 1) Venus in Libra is opposing Jupiter in Aries. This vibe begins to influence us around 9 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:12 PM on Oct 1 then decreasing fading out around 7:30 PM on Oct 2. This vibration is looking for big beautiful experiences. It wants to make connections with more people and is especially suited to social interactions. Being involved in social gatherings is ideal.
Sept. 29 – Oct. 4 (closest position Oct. 2, never exact) Mercury in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This vibe brings a sense of amazement at the ideas that can be discovered and developed. This is a sense of excitement and wonder at the products of our mental imagination.
Sep 25 – Sep 30 (exact Sep 28) Mars in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 2:30 PM. This vibration makes it easier for you to do the essential work necessary for you to accomplish the critical projects you are involved in. Use this time to get things straightened out and working better.
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 12:03 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 12:04 AM, peaking at 2:04 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Libra. 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 3:38 AM, peaking at 5:38 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Aries. In this 4 hr period there is a sense of emotional openness and expansion within you. This can feel either good or bad depending on what your general feeling at the time is.
Starting at 11:05 AM, peaking at 1:05 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Libra. In this 4 hr period you will feel a lightening of your mood with your emotions flowing easily in interaction with others. A meeting or a social gathering would be smoother and easier right now.
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 5:54 PM EDT on September 25, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon October 25. This vibrational pattern has some contradictions in it. First it is expansive and seeking to act on its motivations and drives. There is a tendency to act without thinking about how other people are going to be affected by your actions. This is likely to run up against the ideas other people have about how the world works. If you are not naturally inclined to be inclusive, this is a time when you may find you have jumped over the edge of the cliff in your relationships with others. So take extra care about your choices right now and realize there is something self-oriented and irrational pushing you to not take others into account. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The Dawn of a New Day, Everything Changed”. This symbol is about recognizing a new center of awareness within yourself. You are encouraged to embrace a reorientation that causes everything to be changed. The rules are now different and the reactions of others will be different from what you expect. This is especially true if you do not adjust to the changes that are occurring in you and in those around you. If you find you are feeling fear and anger, stop and evaluate and see what the awareness is that you are blocking.
On September 22 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 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: Mars >> Introductory Period of Mars: Turning back of Uranus: Reworking of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune: Turning forward of Mercury, 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 “!”}
