The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Monday (12/19/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Mars and Jupiter (6*). The vibrational energy for today continues the creative theme of yesterday’s vibrations. This involves interaction with the world around you, exploring without an agenda. This is a highly energized pattern. There is a smooth flow of play and creativity that you can turn into action to accomplish a goal that arises out of your sense of the organic interactions you have been discovering. This energy is especially focused on learning new things and expressing them in a big way in harmonious interaction with others. There is the potential for some significant new insights.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring a deeper level of spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. You are asserting your independence, openly expressing the deeper feelings within you, in defiance of the expectations of those around you. You are reaching a level of expertise where you operate from true authority and are participating in and managing the world’s hidden realities. 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. You are celebrating your body as an unfolding of natural beauty and delightful rightness that is an expression of the ancient supporting foundation pattern of your core that is manifesting through you. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position. You are covertly acting out your resentment, failing to stand up for yourself. You are failing to claim your true authority as you block yourself off from awareness of the deeper realities around you and within you. You are continuing to be caught up in the illusion of many separate and distinct forms. You are vainly taking all credit to yourself and ignoring the ancient patterns that have supported and defined 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}
All of the two-planet patterns today involve the Moon and are described below.
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 6:21 PM, peaking at 8:21 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, those with whom you feel a soul connection.
Starting at 11:31 PM, peaking at 1:31 AM on Dec. 20, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. You may be feeling pretty independent right now and more touchy about other people being in control of what you are doing. You will have a tendency to react. Right now you want to do what you feel like doing right this moment and you don’t want to worry about what other people feel about it. Remember other people are feeling the same way and give them the same space you are needing at the moment.
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 16, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Virgo square the Sun in Sagittarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the New Moon on December 23. This vibrational energy is very independent minded. There is a strong tendency to form your own way of understanding how others are experiencing life rather than following the ideas of others. There is also a sense of celebration of the amazing stories that people can share about their lives. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A chubby boy on a hobby horse”.This is an opportunity to release the excessive energy and resources that you were holding on to, moving into an open flow of give and take with everything around you. Try to avoid being involved in repetitive acts of self-serving indulgence, operating impulsively without any thought for the actual consequences.The Sabian Symbol for theThird Quarter Moonis “A flag at half-mast”.This is an opportunity to realize that you have to move beyond your current absorption in yourself and let your ego “die”, moving beyond self-interest in order to respond to the needs of others. Make sure you are not holding tightly to a superficial sense of your self-importance and failing to recognize the impact of your actions on those around you.
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: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury, Mars >> Introductory Contact for Mercury: 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 “!”}
