The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry

Today, Monday (4/29/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon joining with Mars and Neptune (1*). This vibrational energy pattern is about interacting with the world around you in an exploratory way in order to develop an organic understanding of everything around you. This can include exploring with others as well as by yourself and you are likely to tap into your internal way of understanding life to guide you. This is about feeling energized and seeking to reach into amazing new ways of understanding life, bringing your dreams into life. This is a time to act on the dreams and ideals you have been carrying within you. (For VA Students:  5, 10, 14, 15, 19, 11, 28, 24, 20, 16, 29, 23, 25, 21, 30, 26, 31, 22)

The Effective Expression of today’s energies involves starting a new project where you are combining forming a network of interactions and connections with a far reaching movement out into new and uncharted territory.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Mars, Neptune >>>

The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing the splitting of the divine into many facets or rays of which you’re one, celebrating the beauty of the whole and the beauty of each part of the whole. You are recognizing that protection must be based on respect for those protected, rather than as a means for controlling others and forcing them into your mold and your values.  You are seeing and experiencing the wholeness that lies behind the polarized realm of time and space recognizing the everything is a manifestation of the one Spirit that is All That Is.

The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are locking yourself into seeing everything from a particular perspective and missing the broad overview, tending to over-analyze everything and losing track of the essence in a study of the pieces. You are using insecurity and fear and the need for protection as a way of controlling others and having to deal with the resulting rebellions.  You are continuing to be caught up in the illusion of many separate and distinct forms.

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}

Apr 27 – Apr 30 (exact Apr 29) Mars in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:31 AM on Apr. 29 then decreasing fading out around 9 AM on Apr. 30. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on your ideals and dreams and a strong need to act on your dreams making them a more real part of your life.

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 8:28 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:28 PM yesterday, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with the Sun in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your mood and emotional feelings are likely to be balanced and soft and you are just more likely to feel in harmony with yourself. This is a good time to engage in projects you need to do.

Starting at 9:28 AM, peaking at 11:28 AM, 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.

Starting at 9:44 AM, peaking at 11:44 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Aries. This 4 hr period involves your emotions and moods stimulating your mind and results in you needing to balance your mind and emotions in order to act in clear constructive ways.  It is important for you to pay attention to your feelings and your thoughts on whatever is happening now and remember to think before you act.

Starting at 7:49 PM, peaking at 9:49 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in an organic way based on a sense of objective awareness

Starting at 10:39 PM, peaking at 12:39 AM early April 30, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Taurus. 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 but it will tend to be optimistic.

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 April 23, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 7, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern involves tapping into deep buried patterns and taking actions that will enable you to release these patterns and build new patterns in their place. This release and transformation occurs as you are playing around with what you are finding inside you, exploring it with no particular agenda. There is spontaneous action that you take impulsively in the moment and this attunement helps to trigger a release and transformation of these energies. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Widow at an Open Grave” which is about recognizing that there is a greater life that transcends our experiences here in time and space and we are connected with our loved ones when they pass into that realm. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Massive, Rocky Shore” which relates to old established patterns that resist all attempts to change them. These deeply buried patterns may be able to be addressed with love and compassion. This is about facing the things inside you that you have been inclined to hold onto even though they are causing you pain and personal harm. This is about letting go.

On April 8, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings us into connection with each other. We understand more and more how the life experiences of others impact our own life experiences. There is a call to support others where they need support as we also respect the importance of each person fashioning their own life pattern. There is a challenge here to learn to work together harmoniously while still respecting each person’s individual experiences and understandings. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter”. Here we are making a tentative connection into and expressing the nurturing love that is the core of this realm of manifestation. This love is always there in the depths, if we will allow ourselves to connect into it, no matter what our situation. There is a warning here about trying to manipulate others by controlling what they need that they do not have access to on their own.

On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This pattern 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 20, 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.

The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period for Saturn, Neptune: Turning Back of Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, Uranus, {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 “!!!”}
