The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Venus enters its pre-retrograde shadow.
Yesterday and today, Monday (06/19/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Venus joining with Neptune (1*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is related to acting effectively to bring our visions and dreams to life. There is a lot of internal work involved figuring out what is really important and what our motives are, what drives us to reach for the particular dreams we feel called to. Then how can we work with others effectively and harmoniously to bring all our dreams and visions into life. This is an especially important pattern for artists of all kinds. Whatever your project this is a time when you may be able to bring it more beautifully to life. (For VA Students: 8, 16, 24)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus, Neptune >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are moving beyond your previously restricted viewpoint, beginning to be aware of a larger reality. You are branching out to explore broader patterns of interaction; resulting in an expansion of your awareness. You are realizing that you’ve failed to relate effectively and you’re working to include others in the equation as you get an opportunity to start over again. You are moving back, contemplating all that you have experienced, getting it in perspective and, thus, increasing your understanding and finding guidance for future actions. You are experiencing a sense of fullness, completion and wholeness as you tune into the fertile potency within you that enables you to manifest anything you truly desire.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are being dissatisfied with everything you encounter and always looking for greener pastures, failing to see the gifts right in front of you. You are getting caught up in superficiality, appearances and social concerns, ignoring real and immediate issues. You are continuing in the irresponsible patterns that have gotten you in trouble in the past, risking everything and blaming others for your actions. You are being caught up in memory and disconnected from current reality. You are being caught up in pride and possessiveness, jealously trying to protect all that is yours and failing.

The 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 a couple of hours either side of the exact time of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Jun 17 – Jun 20 (exact Jun 18) the Sun in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 1 AM on June 20. This vibration is about reaching out and taking actions to connect in with something amazing and wonderful, the dreams and visions that feel like they are part of another world that is removed from the humdrum of everyday.
Jun 14 – Jun 24 (exact Jun 19) Jupiter in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:53 PM then decreasing fading out around 2 PM on June 24. This vibration brings the opportunity to share a step by step growth process with those around you in a free flowing harmonious exchange.
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 10:33 PM, peaking at 12:33 AM early June 20, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you are wanting to share spontaneous exciting experiences with your friends and companions. You need the freedom to be able to impulsively do what you feel like in this 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.}
At 12:37 AM EDT early June 18, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 17. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on our communities. How are our communities operating? How well are they meeting the needs of the people within the communities? What can we do to improve the ways our communities function? This is combined with a restless sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo and a desire to change it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Gypsy coming out of the Forest” which is about moving beyond your previously restricted viewpoint and becoming aware of a larger reality.
On May 5, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational pattern is expansive and seeking to understand the different ways people can understand the world. This is often done by participating in a culture that is different from your culture of origin. There is a strong need for the freedom to express yourself and to act on your feelings. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which helps you connect to the next more expansive level of awareness beyond where you currently are operating. The Moon Symbol is “A Gold Rush”. This helps you find and identify the rigid patterns within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. You can break up these rigid structures and open up to a deeper truer understanding of yourself.
On April 20 the New Moon a Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 14. This eclipse in Aries emphasizes your connection within yourself and encourages you to find a way to do what you feel called to do deep within you. There is a focus on interacting with the world and exploring whatever you are drawn to. This process can be very creative. And with this vibration it leads to taking actions based on your discoveries. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A Duck Pond and its Brood”. This is about recognizing that you are operating within a bounded, limited sphere of activity where you are inter-linked with a particular group of people. It is important to realize that you are interconnected with people in a larger realm and to realize that you need to take into account this larger realm rather than just focusing on the needs of your group.
On March 20 the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun enters Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 21. This is the balancing point of the year when the days and nights are of equal length. This year’s Spring Equinox brings a strong feeling of needing to have your ideas be exceptional and amazing. The vibration for Spring is deeply involved in sharing other people’s stories and there is a tendency to act based on the things you have learned from others to seek to make the lives of those around you better. The Sabian Symbol for the distance from the Sun to the Moon is “A master instructing his pupil. This is about participating in the transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom, being open to receiving deep insights from unexpected places. This energy becomes distorted if you claim a superior status and special privileges based on your position. This is about recognizing the worth and authority of each person.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Venus enters the pre-retrograde shadow >> Introductory phase of Venus, Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Backward of Saturn, Neptune: Reworking 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 “!”}
