The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today,Monday (05/15/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Saturn (1*). This vibrational pattern is dealing with unpredictable situation with an element of chance in them. These are the situations where you really can’t know the answer. You need to gather all the related information you can find to help you make a decision, but, you will need to use your intuition to really figure out what to do. It is important to evaluate what the essential actions are that will get you to your goal and then to concentrate on those actions today. (For VA Students: 23)

23 (1*) FollowsOne’s Personal Intuition; Takes Risks
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mars, Saturn >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to work in cooperation with others to order and organize the wilderness with the inherent wildness and chaos of life being tamed, or hidden and buried, creating an ordered natural space that everyone can safely share. You are forming a bridge between the deeper more primitive and undeveloped levels of yourself and your modern self that is operating in the world, helping each to understand the other better as you’re intuitively accepting that there are awarenesses and forces of life beyond the comprehension of the limited awareness of the rational mind and ego. You are seeking to transcend the barriers within you, accepting the excruciating pain coming from many directions at once as you move into a true release and awakening. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are remaining in isolation and being overwhelmed by the wildness within and around you. You are denying and refusing to deal with the deeper irrational levels of yourself, potentially losing control and exploding in frustration and hostility. You are running from the pain of truly facing yourself, refusing to embrace the process of facing the barriers within yourself, resulting in increasing depression as you experience your life shattering around you, feeling as if you’re being sacrificed without any hope of release.

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}
May 13 – May 22 (exact May 17) Jupiter in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:10 PM on May 17 then decreasing fading out around 3 AM on May 22. This vibration is sensing how you can expand your connections and bring something grander into your life. It gives you the potential to grow and become more of what you truly are.
May 13 – May 17 (exact May 15) Mars in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:44 AM then decreasing fading out around 6 AM on May 17. This vibration is about you following your dream. It does the things that will make your dream more real in your life.
May 12 – May 14 (exact May 13) Venus in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 2:30AM on May 14.

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 8:30 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:30 PM yesterday, the Moon in Pisces is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Cancer. This 4 hr period is probably going to have your emotions and moods whooped up a bit, you will tend to focus on something you want to do and really get on with it. You may get upset if someone interferes at this time, you won’t want to be interrupted or blocked.
Starting at 8:56 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:56 PM yesterday, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is about wanting to feel the magical awesomeness of your dreams and visions and to have these be the center of the way you are living your life. You are likely to find yourself caught up in your dreams and not very connected into the dull boring everyday reality.
At 3:55 AM the Moon enters Aries. For the next 2½ days you may find you want to do your own thing, this is when it is easiest to just go out and operate and express yourself in an independent manner. This is a great time to explore something youhave always wanted to look into.
Starting at 2:29 AM, peaking at 4:29 AM, the Moon in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. In this 4hr period there is an easier connection into deeply buried feelings than at other times. There is an opportunity here to share these deep levels with your friends and to be open to them sharing their deep feelings with you. This exchange can sometimes have a healing quality and reduce the pain within you and your friends.
Starting at 5:41 PM, peaking at 7:41 PM, the Moon in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Venus in Cancer. This 4 hr period brings a desire to feel beautiful. You will probably be more aware of your appearance and the appearance of the world around you. You may be moved to make something around you look nicer.
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 May 12 the Third Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 19. This vibrational pattern needs to be free and spontaneous. There is a feeling of lively bubbling energy where you feel like you are joyfully bouncing around. There is a strong need to be active and to take action based on the feelings inside of you. Communication is likely to be clear and precise. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “White Dove over Troubled Waters” which helps you to move beyond your emotional patterns realizing that you can work with your emotional feelings without being controlled by them. The Moon Symbol is “A Rug placed on a Floor for Children to Play”. This encourages you to set aside a protected time and place where you can deal with your own needs freely and safely.
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 our connection with ourselves 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 we 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 exceprtional 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: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory phase of Saturn, Uranus: Turning Backward of Neptune, Pluto: Turning Forward of Mercury: Resolution of Uranus {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 “!”}
