The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 12:14 AM EDT early May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus.
Today, Monday (5/16/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Jupiter and Neptune (1*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is a concentration of Mars, Jupiter and Neptune that is building towards two conjunctions. Mars and Neptune on May 18 and Mars and Jupiter on May 29. This vibrational energy pattern focuses on taking action, big actions that will tap into your dreams and visions for your life and seek to achieve those dreams. At the least this is definitely going to be a time over the next few weeks to take actions that will be in line with bringing your dreams more fully into your life. Furthermore you are going to be doing this jointly with others. This is strengthened by the second strongest vibrational energy today Mars, Uranus, Neptune which is working inside you connecting you into new insights about how you can realize your dreams in a way that works for you. (For VA Students: 1, 2).

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are using humor and the resulting objectivity to make an clear analysis of the world around you, moving beyond a subjective emotional viewpoint. You are getting rid of all that is not truly part of your essence as a deeply spiritually aligned and complete person, while recognizing the truth of other people seeing who and what they are in the essence of their being. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in an artificial sense of pretension and reactiveness coming from taking yourself way too seriously. You are refusing to look at distortions in your values and motives, clinging to rigid positions, deceiving, lying, and misleading those around you and being rejected.

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}
May 16 – May 19 (exact May 18) Mars in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 6 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:33 AM on May 18 then decreasing fading out around 11 AM on May 19. This vibration is about putting energy into achieving your dreams. There is the potential here for moving your life in the direction that would be most meaningful for you.

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 12:14 AM EDT early May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun 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 October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.
On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awareness of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.
On March 20 the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This seasonal vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 21. This energy pattern calls us to adjust our ideas of the past and history becoming aware of where our emotions have been interfering with our understanding. This brings the potential for a great deal of creativity this spring. This pattern also encourages us evaluating our understanding of life to recognize where we are being effective and where we are not and to adjust our ways of dealing with things accordingly. The Sabian Symbol for the Spring Equinox comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon. It is “A Man’s Head” which encourages us to recognize that each of us is a distinct person with specific characteristics of value. The warning is to take care that you do not over-value yourself at the expense of others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Jupiter
Introductory Contact for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune: Turning back of Pluto: Reworking of Mercury
{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 “!”}
