The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Mercury turns Retrograde today at 6:14 PM April 1.
At 11:14 PM EDT on April 1, the Third Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Aries.
Today, Monday (4/1/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Neptune (0*). There are no vibrational energies strong enough to be a focus for the energy today. Instead there are several clusters of energy and you will tend to be attracted to the one that you resonate with the most. The largest energy concentration is in the featured vibration Sun, Saturn, Neptune which is about being involved in an open community that is freely exploring everything enjoying the process of experiencing the wonder of discovering new connections and interactions, especially ones that dig down deep into the fundamentals and seek to discover the spiritual patterns and essence in the world around you. The second vibrational energy today is Venus, Mars, Pluto which is getting directly involved, hands on, in exploring and acting upon opportunities to take action that brings beauty into the world. There is an intense need, almost an obsession, to be directly involved in the beauty around you (For VA Students: 25 || 20)
The Theme for today calls us to open up to the ways that “things that seem completely disconnected from each other” are actually connected together. This calls for initiating deep involvement in these disconnected elements of life and learning how they connect together.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Saturn, Neptune >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to face your situation and take personal responsibility for yourself and your actions having found that rebelling and seeking to break free does not work because you can’t avoid the restrictions, limitations, and constraints of finite existence, can’t deny them and can’t explode to get out of them. You are radiating grace, beauty, and intelligence as you open up to and become a channel for the feminine divine essence within you experiencing a deep awareness that contains an expanded sense of love for, and respect of all of the manifestations of life. You are experiencing a sense of fullness, completion and wholeness as you tune into the fertile potency within you that enables you to manifest anything you truly desire.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are desperately fighting against the restrictions, limitations, and constraints of finite existence, operating in a state of denial of personal responsibility and substituting illusions for reality. You are getting caught up in the superficial trappings of elegance without developing a truly elegant internal awareness. You are being caught up in pride and possessiveness, jealously trying to protect all that is yours and failing.
13 Aries = Sun [An unsuccessful bomb explosion] You are learning to face your situation and take personal responsibility for yourself and your actions having found that rebelling and seeking to break free does not work because you can’t avoid the restrictions, limitations, and constraints of finite existence, can’t deny them and can’t explode to get out of them and/or you are desperately fighting against the restrictions, limitations, and constraints of finite existence, operating in a state of denial of personal responsibility and substituting illusions for reality
14 Pisces = Saturn [A lady in fox fur] You are radiating grace, beauty, and intelligence as you open up to and become a channel for the feminine divine essence within you experiencing a deep awareness that contains an expanded sense of love for, and respect of all of the manifestations of life and/or you are getting caught up in the superficial trappings of elegance without developing a truly elegant internal awareness
28 Pisces = Neptune [A fertile garden under the full moon] You are experiencing a sense of fullness, completion and wholeness as you tune into the fertile potency within you that enables you to manifest anything you truly desire and/or you are being caught up in pride and possessiveness, jealously trying to protect all that is yours and failing
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}
All the two planet patterns today involve the Moon. See below.
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 12:05 AM 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 11:49 AM, peaking at 1:49 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you want to express your emotions in an active harmonious way sharing with others. This is a great time for group activities or meetings or for social sharing or for team sports.
At 11:14 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Aries. This is the Third Quarter Moon. See information in The Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 10:46 PM, peaking at 12:46 AM early April 2, 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 vof 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 11:14 PM EDT on April 1, the Third Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Aries. This will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is about the old obsessive patterns from the past erupting unpredictably with potential for violence in the present moment without any concern for how disruptive or consequential this may be. There is a challenge here to learn how to interact with love and respect no matter what our differences are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Unsuccessful Bomb Explosion” which is about learning that you have to face your situation and take personal responsibility for yourself and your actions. There are certain limitations and constraints that are part of life and you can either cope with them or deny them and live in a state of illusion. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Fire Worshiper”. This is about learning to humbly recognize your ties to the divine essence in the heart of all things. This can bring feelings of exaltation and consummation as the darkness, self-centeredness, fear and insecurity within you are burned away.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind people’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
On March 19, the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 25, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is connecting into our deep emotional levels making us aware of these deep levels and bringing the potential for a reworking, a rebirth of these deep levels based on insight into what is actually going on within us. This insight may come as a result of seeking to act out of these deep levels and getting feedback from the world around us. There is the potential for a reality check on the foundations of our systems during this three month period. The Sabian Symbol for the relationship of Sun to Moon is “A Man formally dressed and a Deer with its Horns folded. This symbol recognized our more primitive aggressive instincts and shows that we use formal, polite relationship patterns to guide our interactions with other. This will enable us to gain control of our more primitive aggressive instincts. Displaying power, dominance and intimidation in this time period is going against the current energy flow and will tend to undermine the accomplishment of your goals.
On March 10, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon, the Solar Eclipse, on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern involves an evaluation of the world around you to see how well it matches up with your internal sense of the way the world needs to operate. This is a time to take action to adjust the patterns around you so that they more closely match up with what is inside you. It is important to look at the consequences of the patterns within you and those around you and to adjust your actions when they are not reaching to objectives you want to have happen. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A little white Lamb, a Child and a Chinese Servant”. This is a challenge to recognize the value of all levels of consciousness, seeking to serve and teach those who are less aware than you in a gentle loving manner while you are recognizing that you are learning from everyone around you. There is a warning here that if you fail to take responsibility for yourself you may face unpleasant consequences.
On October 14, 2023 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy is particularly oriented towards involvement in creative groups. There is a desire to explore without an agenda and see what wonders you can find. This involves a passion for learning and applying what you have learned. There is a desire to expand emotionally at a pace you can handle effectively. There is also a need to go out and act and express yourself, make your life happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Child giving Birds a Drink at a Fountain”. This is about drawing from the fountain of spiritual nourishment, replenishing yourself and generously sharing with those around you who are not able to obtain it for themselves.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury turns retrograde today >> Introductory Period for Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Turning Backward of Mercury: Resolution of Uranus, Neptune, {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 “!!!”}
