The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Monday (8/31/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). This vibration is seeking to find the beauty that last for a lifetime and beyond. There is a lot of interaction with others involved in this moving into taking action based on an evaluation of what is really important and what will be significant in the long run. There is a willingness to sacrifice to achieve important goals. This is combined with a Mars, Neptune, Pluto vibration (1*) that is taking action on what is really important to you seeking to bring your passions and your dreams to life by joining with others who share the same or complimentary dreams. There is a big stress here on joining with others to accomplish things that you cannot accomplish by yourself.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Saturn, and Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are sharing knowledge with others engaging in rigorous reevaluation of everything searching for greater meaning. You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats. You are retreating to a place of quiet and reflection where you can open up to and explore the new awarenesses and connections within yourself, gaining insight from the books and people available to you in this retreat setting. You are experiencing an exceptional level of sensitiveness to subtle energies as you spontaneously open to delight and wonder, allowing you to make better contact with both the spiritual and elemental realms.
The most dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are tuning out other people’s ideas holding rigidly to your interpretation of everything being sure you have the true and final answer. You are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve. You are feeling repressed and inhibited by the expectations within and around you, not sharing yourself authentically, and feeling left out and isolated. You are being so lighthearted and irresponsible that you don’t take anything seriously or being so bogged down in work that you don’t get any form of release.

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 31 – Sep 1 (exact Sep 1) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 5 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:42 AM on September 1 then decreasing fading out around 9 PM on September 1. This vibration is about intense concentrated almost obsessive thought patterns bringing up patterns from the past and recognizing how these patterns have been and perhaps still are influencing our behavior. There is the opportunity to free yourself from patterns you no longer wish to have in control of your behavior.
Aug 30 – Aug 31 (exact Aug 30) Mercury in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 4 AM. This vibration is about sharing your dreams with others. There is some tendency to get lost in a fantasy world with another person. Always check your dreams against reality and look for what you can make different.
Aug 29 – Aug 31 (exact Aug 30) Venus in Cancer is opposing Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 8 AM. This vibration brings an intense awareness of beauty and may include almost overwhelming attraction to the beauty that you are attracted to.
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 10:56 PM, peaking at 12:56 AM early on September 1, the Moon in Aquarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Aries. This 4 hr period brings the opportunity for you to share with others in a harmonious way joining together to act to bring about your goals.
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 25, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Sagittarius. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on September 2. This vibration is extremely energized and is about thinking and evaluating what is happening within and around you. There is the potential here to penetrate the truths that are hidden below the surface. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Two Angels bringing protection” which is about opening up and tuning into an inner sense of guidance.” The Moon Symbols is “Two men playing chess”. This points to the importance of stepping back and seeing your actions objectively, cautiously implementing the next step in the process. There is a deeper truth and understanding that can be obtained this week if you are aware.
On August 18, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Cancer. This
Vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 17.
This vibration is about really thinking and evaluating what is going on inside you and around you. There is the potential here for a deep analysis that will recognize what things need to be laid aside in order for a rebirth or transformation to occur. If we move beyond our egos into a more universal spiritually based understanding then we will know what to do. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and the Moon is “Daybreak”. This is about experiencing the light of the divine beginning to shine through you, showing your true potential, replacing your ego as the source of yourself. This happens as you open your intuition and clearly see the pattern within you and around you.
The Eclipse Season was from June 4 through July 5 and the patterns of this season will be in effect at least until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. The Eclipses begin by helping us to recognize that there is something special within each of us and that it is important for each of us to communicate our ideas clearly recognizing that there is a give and take to life as we share with each other. It then reminded us that we need to be adaptable and realize that we are being called to a new orientation to life. Each of us need to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves to more effectively respond to the demands of ourselves and our world. We need to develop a bigger focus that encompasses all of the universe recognizing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves while at the same time being open to ancient truths that may contain wisdom that will help us to be more aware and more effective.
The Sun entered Cancer on June 20. This is the Summer Solstice, one of the 4 seasonal turning points for the year. This will be influencing us for 3 months until the Fall Equinox on September 22. This vibration is about working things through in your mind and then acting on what you figure out. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “Winter Frost in the Woods”. This is about each of us having all the excess trimmed away so that we can connect in with the bare essential structure within us and connect in with our innate strength. You deal with feelings of fear and loss by connecting into the core of yourself, the spiritual center of your being. This leads to you opening yourself up to the wonder and mystery of life and developing a greater awareness of your connection with others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES: Saturn
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus: Reworking Patterns of Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Turning Forward of Jupiter.
{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.}
