The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
 
Today (Day 11 of 13), Monday (8/26/19), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Venus and Mars (3*). The Sun with Venus and Mars is the strongest vibration for 13 days in a row starting Friday, August 16, so I’m going to combine the information on Sun,Venus, Mars with the next strongest vibration which will color this more long term pattern.
 
This vibration is about making something beautiful and tuning into the earth, the world around you.  You are encouraged to share with another person in a craft project or working in your garden or making a completely from scratch meal going out and getting fresh herbs out of your garden if you have them, or at the store.  If it rains you can even go out and walk in the rain and feel the world touching you directly. There is a day of action, going out and doing something the connect into the real world.  If you can spend some time outdoors in the sun and the wind. It is combined with the Venus, Mars, Uranus (2*) which brings a sense of spontaneity and impulsiveness.  You may find yourself abruptly switching gears and doing something different from what you expected to be doing.
 
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
3 (4*) Free flowing, unrestricted movement of energy in either positive or negative directions
1 (3*) The pattern within you and your own capabilities serve as your reference point

The Dancing 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 first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}

Aug 26 – Aug 29 (exact Aug 28) Mars in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to be felt around 7 PM and increases in influence until it peaks on August 28 at 6:52 AM.  There is a sense of unpredictability about this vibration.  The focus on Mars brings a tremendous amount of energy and a need for action.  That action will tend to be impulsive, based on one’s feelings in the moment.  This can sometimes be volatile.  Take extra care as there is more potential for accidents than normal. Let yourself be unpredictable, give yourself permission during this period to change your plans or just do what pops into your mind.  Expressing this energy safely releases the pent up pressure that can otherwise explode unpredictably.

Aug 25 – Aug 27 (exact Aug 26) Venus in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:38 AM then it decreases, fading on August 27 around 6 AM.  This is about spontaneous and impulsive attractions.  You may find yourself drawn to a person or situation unexpectedly.  There is a feeling of excitement and adventure about this aspect.  This is a time to follow your impulses and go explore.

Aug 22 – Aug 26 (exact Aug 24) Venus in Virgo is joining with Mars in Virgo. This vibe is decreasing until it fades out at about 5 AM. This vibe is about making beautiful things yourself, being engaged in the natural world and interacting directly with your crafts, your cooking, your garden.  There is a hands on quality to this vibration that can be viewed as old-fashioned today.  There is a call here to sense your involvement in life as a part of a universal pattern and to be true to who and what you really are in your soul, in your inner spirit.

The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their peak time.}
 
Starting at 11:59 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:59 AM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Virgo. This 4 hr period is very energetic.  This is a good time to exercise or go for a walk or play a sport.  If this is your sleep time, you may find it hard to sleep due to the energy you are feeling.
Starting at 1:44 AM, peaking at 3:44 AM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Virgo. This 4 hr period is a beautiful gentle time, a great time to share with friends or family.
Starting at 2:27 AM, peaking at 4:27 AM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is more impulsive and spontaneous, go do something that just comes into your mind at the time.  If you are sleeping, you may have unusual dreams or be too energized to sleep well.
 
Starting at 3:45 PM, peaking at 5:45 PM, the Moon in Cancer is opposing Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period focuses on what the long term impact of our behaviors is.  What will really make a difference for ourselves and those around us.
Starting at 9:28 PM, peaking at 11:28 PM, the Moon in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is somewhat dreamy.  There is more of a focus on your dreams and visions than on the real world around you.
 
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.}
 
The Third Quarter Moon was on August 23 with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Virgo. This vibration will be influencing us for a week until the New Moon on August 30. This vibration is especially focused on doing what is important and significant in the long run.  There is a willingness here to follow what you sense is important whether others agree or even approve. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A man’s head” which focuses on recognizing that you have distinct characteristics of value, but not over-valuing yourself at the expense of others. The Moon Symbol is “A glass-bottomed boat in still water”. This helps you to still your emotions enough to allow you to become aware of and perhaps see clearly the hidden realms within you, the deeper patterns beyond yourself that you are connected into.
 
The Full Moon was on August 15 with the Sun in Leo opposing the Moon in Aquarius. This will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 30. The Full Moon’s Vibration is very hands on.  You want to make beautiful things and nurture them in your life. This is combined with a strong sense of your own ways of expressing yourself.  This Full Moon helps you get in touch with your unique way of relating to the world. This is also about your appreciating the patterns and viewpoint of others.  This is a time when you can open up to someone else who is different from you and get an entirely different understanding of the world from them.  The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bareback Rider” which is about attunement and balance, finding and aligning yourself with your own center of gravity.  The Moon Symbol “A big bear sitting down and waving all its paws” invites you to open up to new ways of acting, new responses in situations, new modes of self-expression, tune into and develop yourself rather than stifling yourself in order to please others.

The New Moon was on July 31 with the Moon and Sun together in Leo. This will influence our experiences until the next New Moon on August 30. This New Moon has some really beautiful sweet energies with Venus joining the Sun and Moon.  There is also an element of unpredictability in the energies with insights potentially bursting forth from within you giving you new insights into how everything is connected to everything else at the same time you see the unique individuality of each of us, appreciating what characters we all all.  The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “Glass Blowers”. This involves recognizing that the shaping of new patterns and realities requires the controlled use of your energy with extreme care and attention to detail; releasing any fears that your creation may not last.  There is a warning about failing to pay attention to details and thus acting carelessly as this can result in distortions and flawed creations.

This Eclipse Cycle began on July 2 and lasts until December 26.  This period is about evaluation and consideration of the meaning of your life and your actions and how you want the rest of your life to go. There is a calling for you to open up to a greater awareness and learn to assume responsibility for using that awareness wisely with humility while operating fairly and being real and genuine. This is done by stepping back and getting the objectivity that will enable you to move more effectively towards your dreams recognizing that sometimes the reactions of others to you come from their problems and issues rather than from your actions.  This is about acting from your true self rather than using a façade to cover up who you really are.

The Sun officially entered Cancer and Summer began on June 21.  The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year.  This seasonal pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 23.  The strong vibrations for this summer emphasize a sensitivity to the stories of those around us and a recognition of our responsibility for those in our communities who have more problems than we do.  The base Sabian Symbol for Summer is “A furled and unfurled flag displayed from a vessel” which shows that Summer is a time for seeing more clearly who you really are.  This can result in making a commitment to a new orientation or cause and giving up your old ways.  If you do not connect in with the deep core of yourself you may feel unstable and very moody.  The reaction we have to the challenges of this season is shown by the symbol “A big white dove, a message bearer”.  This is about learning to solve your issues by receiving gentle messages from outside or inside yourself as you are opening to the spirit and becoming more clearly connected into your core.  If you do not open up to these messages you may find yourself caught in a cycle of doubt and depression believing things will never improve.
 
The Retrograde Diary: Check out changes today:   PHASE CHANGES: Pluto
Turning Backward of Uranus: Reworking Patterns of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Forward of Jupiter, 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.}

July 24 – Aug. 29:  (15-14 Sag) Turning Forward:  The Challenge is to move into a true alignment with the universal where you have banished the shadow and are showing forth the radiating light that shines from the Self, being open to the messages all around you, learning to cease being caught up in fear, always looking for confirmation of what you sense from others so that you can blame something or someone else for your decisions and not take personal responsibility [The ground hog looking for its shadow]

Aug. 14 – Sept. 21:  (18-17 Pis) Reworking:  Working on being able to experience a greater reality that encompasses everything, passionately sharing this inspiring vision with others, learning to cease feeling that you have all the answers and that you should be deferred to as you’re manipulating and exploiting those around you [A gigantic tent]
