The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 3:32 PM EDT on September 22, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Virgo.
Yesterday and today, Friday (09/22/2023),the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Uranus (1*). The strongest vibrational energy today is involved in exploration of the world around you or of some specific area that you are especially interested in. You have the potential for developing a better organic understanding of your selected area. This is about learning in the moment by moment situations you are involved in. You may find sudden insights bursting forth within you. You are likely to need to act spontaneously in the moment. This is an opportunity to learn something new and different and to be able to act on it. (For VA Students: 10, 20, 30)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
20 (2*) A need to take action related to playful, creative organic exploration
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Uranus >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are having your concealment ripped away from you, being forced to reveal yourself and become vulnerable to transformative change, as a result of commitments to opening up and relating that you have made. You are stepping back, seeing the ebb and flow of life, experiencing a sense of pattern and fulfillment, getting a more complete understanding of your experiences and interactions with others. You are dimly sensing that you’re one of the jewels, a part of the divine awareness, beginning to sense the highest in you as a distant potential.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are stubbornly refusing to follow through on the implications of your commitments and experiencing feelings of being used or exposed and violated. You are experiencing disappointment and anger at lost opportunities combined with a feeling that everything is lost and there is no point in trying any longer. You are denying the light and beauty hidden within you and only seeing the more superficial trash and garbage heap within which your true worth is buried.

23 Taurus = Uranus [A jewelry shop] You are dimly sensing that you’re one of the jewels, a part of the divine awareness, beginning to sense the highest in you as a distant potential and/or you are denying the light and beauty hidden within you and only seeing the more superficial trash and garbage heap within which your true worth is buried.
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}
Sep 20 – Sep 22 (exact Sep 21) the Sun in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 2 AM. This vibration seeks to bring a flow of universal structure down into manifestation here on earth building an intense need to step back and see the universal truths in everyday experiences.
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 7:37 AM, peaking at 9:37 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period highlights your dreams and is a great time to do anything that is especially magical for you, like visiting some special place that you love to go to. There may be some feelings of disconnection from the everyday world and perhaps a sense of fuzziness or vagueness. It will pass as the Moon moves beyond Neptune.
At 3:32 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Virgo. This is the First Quarter Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
At 4:20 PM the Moon enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation occurs, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
Starting at 5:44 PM, peaking at 7:44 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you find it easy to accept responsibility and work comfortably with others getting the things done that really need to be done.
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 3:32 PM EDT on September 22, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on September 29. This vibrational energy pattern is about acting effectively in a big way. You can sense how to present yourself and your actions so that other people will be comfortable with what you are doing. There is also a deeper level to this week before the Full Moon. If you spend some time working within yourself, there is a potential to get some new insights into who you truly are and what the gifts are that you have to share with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A False Call unheard in attention to immediate service” which involves operating out of a state of personal completion and fulfillment totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged and not letting interruptions side track you from what you need to do. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Pope” which is about sacrificing your needs in order to operate for the greater good.
On September 14, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on October 14.This vibrational energy pattern has a strong emphasis on emotional spontaneity and quick responses in the moment. There is a sense of working to realize your dreams through what you encounter in the world. There is an awareness of the community you are in and of the importance of expanding the benefits of community to all the people in the community. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Royal Coat of Arms”. This symbol points to the responsibility each of us has to pass the benefits we have received on to the people who are in need. What we have gained we have a responsibility to pass on to others, to aide, to guide and to protect those who are less fortunate than we are.
On June 21, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 23. This is the longest day of the year and the shortest night. This vibrational pattern is dominated by the Sun Quincunx Pluto which shows that this is a time when each person must face and claim their own power and stand tall in it. There is an emphasis on working in support of your community this summer in very creative ways along with the potential for expansion through sudden insights and personal breakthroughs. The Sabian symbol for the Sun-Moon relationship is “A Christmas Tree decorated” which is like bringing the Winter Solstice into operation in the middle of Summer. This is about the light being reborn in the darkness within each of us.
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 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 your connection within yourself 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 you 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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury, Saturn >> Turning Backward of Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, Venus {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 “!!!”}
