The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Monday (8/15/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Saturn and Neptune (0*). There is no strong imprint in the vibrations today. Instead, there are several weak patterns. The strongest of these is the featured vibration involving Venus, Saturn and Neptune. There is a sense of shared restlessness and dissatisfaction here coming from a sense that there is something on a deeper level of spiritual beauty that can be found if you just go seek it. This can bring a need to explore new and different ideas and ways of dealing with life seeking to find something that feels more real, true, and more long lasting. There is a second light pattern that is quite creative and if you are inclined that way, there is energy here that can be used in creative expression and exploration. In general, this is a day for seeing what your internal impulses lead you to become involved in. (For VA Students: 11, 22 || 5, 10, 15, 20, 25).
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Saturn, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are seeking to balance tried and true patterns with new, innovative patterns looking for the most effective and wisest course of action. You are setting aside a protected time and place where you can deal with your own needs freely and safely. You are opening yourself up to new responses that have not seemed natural to you in the past, discovering new modes of self-expression. You are getting rid of all that is not truly part of your essence as a deeply spiritually aligned and complete person, while recognizing the truth of other people, seeing who and what they are in the essence of their beings. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being attached to a particular point of view; being threatened by anything that challenges it. You are limiting yourself to a restricted space, expecting to be overprotected, engaging in various forms of dependent behavior. You are sacrificing a true sense of yourself to please those around you. You are refusing to look at distortions in your values and motives, clinging to rigid positions, deceiving, lying, and misleading those around you and being rejected.

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}
Aug 15 – Aug 17 (exact Aug 16) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 9 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:46 PM on Aug 16 then decreasing fading out around 8 AM on Aug 17. This vibration really charges the mind up. It speeds up the thinking processes. Along with this there may be a tendency for the thinking to be scattered as the mind is likely to be more focused in the present moment than at some other times.
Aug 13 – Aug 16 (exact Aug 14) Mars in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 8 AM on Aug 16. This vibration is about a very intense need to take action. You may find yourself focused on a particular action and feel that you just must do it. In fact, it can erupt in you like a volcano. If this is not an appropriate action, you may be able to wrench yourself away and just leave. This is a very difficult aspect. Watch for energy building up inside of you and remove yourself from the situation that is triggering you.
Aug 13 – Aug 15 (exact Aug 14) the Sun in Leo is opposing Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 12 PM. This vibration is about seeing the deep essential factors motivating others and yourself. This may give you some control of your energy that you would not otherwise have. You will want to eliminate trivial concerns and focus on what is the most essential aspect of the current situation.
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 9:53 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:53 PM yesterday, the Moon in Aries is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Leo. This 4 hr period brings a very nice flow of love and good feelings. This can be a special time to share with those you care about.
Starting at 4:59 AM, peaking at 6:59 AM, the Moon in Aries is joining with Jupiter in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a time when you will feel emotionally expansive and want to share with others in a big way. Enjoy this lovely expansive energy. If something unpleasant happens take care to not overreact.
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 August 11, the Full Moon occurred with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on Aug 27. This vibrational pattern is very action oriented. There is a strong need to go out and do things. The focus is on expressing yourself in your unique way and forming your own ideas about how things work and what you need to do. This involves internal evaluation of your own motives and desires and a lot of introspection to get in touch with you really are and how to express that. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The Zuni Sun Worshippers”. This helps you reconnect with the sacredness of all life. It brings an awareness that even during stressful times, you can connect into the universal and let the fire of the divine shine through you. The Moon Symbol is “A Big White Dove, a Message Bearer”. This symbols is about you being open to messages from spirit coming from the world around you or speaking quietly within you. There is the potential here for opening yourself to a deeper, clearer level of interaction with spiritl
On July 28, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on Aug 27. This vibrational pattern brings a focus on your own internal world and may well be a time of withdrawal. You may find yourself needing more time to yourself than usual in order to keep your internal balance. At the same time there is the indication of a need to expand either your own awareness or your connections with the greater world. The Sabian Symbol for the new moon is “An Old-Fashioned Woman and an Up-To-Date Girl”. This is about needing to balance tried and true patterns with new innovative patterns looking for the most effective and wisest course of action. There is a danger of becoming so attached to a particular point of view that you feel threatened by anything that challenges it.
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 22. The vibrational energy pattern for the solstice contains a shared potential for creative exploration. There is also a sense of shared restlessness and dissatisfaction that seems to drive people to seek something different than what they have. The Sabian Symbol for the Summer Solstice comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon. It is “A Gypsy coming out of the Forest” which shows the potential for people to move beyond their previously restricted viewpoint and become aware of a larger reality that they can connect into.
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 awareness 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: Saturn — Turning back of Jupiter, Uranus: Reworking of 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 “!”}
