The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

Today, Monday (12/12/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). The vibrational energy pattern today is providing a creative flow and the potential to interact with other in a creative flow.This is especially interesting because the energy is not easy to handle either for an individual or in relationships. There is a sense of the beauty of seeking the deep essential core patterns, the foundational patterns, and focusing on them. There is also a sense that there is a mystery that transcends everything we can know and a recognition that we cannot explain this mystery, we can only relate to it and interact with it. This is combined with Mercury, Saturn, Uranus which encourages very independent thinking. This is a rare energy and a rare opportunity to experiencies something deeply meaningful with others.

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)

20 (1*) A need to take action related to playful, creative exploration

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Saturn, Pluto >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are working on cutting away the dross and revealing the true essence buried deep within yourself. You are recognizing that you have not been being true to yourself, tending to get lost in the needs of others, refocusing on the true expression of yourself and your potentials. You are facing the aspects of yourself that might feel like burdens or curses and the fears that lie below them and seeking to redefine and nurture these disturbed aspects of yourself, recognizing and embracing your common linkage with all creatures. You are entering into more profound levels of spiritual awareness, recognizing the spiritual messages in all that is around you, seeking to sort true messages from the surrounding noise as you recognize the limitations of your current experiences. You are operating in a rational, evaluative way that is balanced with intuitive awareness, experiencing a natural balance that enables you to respond appropriately in each situation. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being locked in rigid shapes that obscure your true essence and doggedly hanging onto these patterns, expecting change without any effort on your part. You are getting lost in grief and guilt, letting your disappointment and disillusionment swallow you up, being unable to let go of the past. You are fearing to get close to that which is different from yourself; holding onto your familiar patterns, fearing to get hurt through intimacy, unwilling to reach out beyond yourself. You are being caught up in much busyness without any sense of organization within a confined space; pretending you’re free. You are being obsessed with work, constantly seeking to further your own ends, focusing on being in charge and in control of everything around you.

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}

Dec 11 – Dec 13 (exact Dec 12) the Sun in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:12 PM, then decreasing and fading out around 3 PM on Dec. 13. This vibrational energy is seeking to share harmoniously with others on a fundamental level. This brings a need to be real and truthful with each other in a sensitive way that takes into account how your communication impacts the other person.

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 6:04 PM, peaking at 8:04 PM, the Moon in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Gemini. 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.

Starting at 8:46 PM, peaking at 10:46 PM, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”

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 December 7, the Full Moon occurred with the Sun in Sagittarius opposing the Moon in Gemini. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 23. This vibrational energy has a need to go out and take action. Yet, at the same time there is a pull to move inside of yourself and evaluate what you are doing and why you are doing it. The question is especially raised – what does it mean to operate in the moment and how does one respond effectively in the moment. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Easter sunrise service”. This is an opportunity to join with others to celebrate the symbols of transformation, the death of the old self and the birth of a new self in which the divine lives. Try not to focus on the pain and losses of the past–being unable to let them go keeps you depressed and stuck in your historical pattern. The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon is “The head of health dissolved into the head of mentality”. Here there is an opportunity to learn to have your mind guide your body, developing a more mature objective perspective on yourself and others. Make sure not to react based on immature responses, being caught up in illusions of how things should be and not being able to see what is happening within and around you.

On November 23rd, the New Moon occurs with the Sun in Sagittarius conjunct with the Moon in Sagittarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 23. The pattern at this New Moon is expansive and involves dealing with the unpredictable aspects of life. There is a sense of joy and adventure here. You look at what you are dealing with, analyze it and figure out as best you can what would be effective. Then you use your intuition to sort through the analysis you have made and figure out what really needs to happen. There is an element of leaping into the unknown here with an embracing of the risk involved in truly expressing yourself. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The ocean covered with whitecaps”. This symbol is about penetrating surface disturbances, finding deep inner peace and stillness below the surface, as you begin to perceive the underlying strength, stability and permanence of the universal into which you can tap. Try to avoid getting caught up in immediate emotional reactions that keep you from tuning into the deeper stability below the emotional level.

On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon 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 April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.

On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.

On September 22 the Fall Equinox occurs as the Sun enters Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern involves tuning into yourself and following what is within you rather than seeking to meet external expectations. There is a sense of skepticism about simple pat answers. This comes from a sense of a depth to life with a deep mystery at the very core of life, a mystery that cannot be reduced down to words.. The Sabian Symbol for the Fall Equinox is “An Ancient Pottery Bowl filled with Violets”. This is about basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life. You are encouraged to develop a delicate and beautiful essence that radiates love, peace, beauty and simplicity.

The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Reworking of Mars, Uranus: Turning forward of Neptune: Resolution of Jupiter, Saturn, 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 “!”}
