The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

Today, Monday (05/29/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Venus and Mars joining with Neptune (0*). There are no outstanding patterns today, instead there are two patterns either of which you may experience depending on your personal pattern. The strongest of these is Venus, Mars, Neptune which is tuning into the mystery that cannot be stated in words. There is a sense of moving out of this world into an experienced that is amazing and magical. The 2nd of these patterns is Sun, Venus, Saturn which we have been experiencing for the last two days. This is about figuring out what is really important to you, what you feel drawn to do deep within you, and expressing that in the world effectively. It opens up a more fundamental level, the foundational patterns that are really important and this gives you a grounding to allow you to adjust the way you express your goals so that other people can understand and accept them comfortably.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Mars, Neptune >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to be flexible and open, seeing clearly how you can make appropriate choices to act either in the realm of Spirit and the realm of Matter as appropriate. You are seeking to balance tried and true patterns with new, innovative patterns looking for the most effective and wisest course of action.  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 feeling torn apart by the competing needs within you, disconnecting and isolating yourself with a devastating sense of ineptitude and estrangement from everything around you. You are being attached to a particular point of view; being threatened by anything that challenges it.  You are being caught up in pride and possessiveness, jealously trying to protect all that is yours and failing.

24 Cancer = Venus [A woman and two men on a bit of sunlit land facing south]  You are learning to be flexible and open, seeing clearly how you can make appropriate choices to act either in the realm of Spirit and the realm of Matter as appropriate and/or you are feeling torn apart by the competing needs within you, disconnecting and isolating yourself with a devastating sense of ineptitude and estrangement from everything around you

6 Leo = Mars [An old-fashioned woman and an up-to-date girl]  You are seeking to balance tried and true patterns with new, innovative patterns looking for the most effective and wisest course of action and/or you are being attached to a particular point of view; being threatened by anything that challenges it

28 Pisces = Neptune [A fertile garden under the full moon]  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 and/or 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}

May 27 – May 29 (exact May 28) the Sun in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 9 AM. This vibrational pattern helps us to tune in to our personal sense of purpose and mission in life. It helps us connect into the core foundational sense of the shape of who we are and what we contribute to the world around us.

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 3:45 AM, peaking at 5:45 AM, the Moon in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a feeling of dreaminess and vagueness as you are more connected into your dreams than into the everyday realities around you.  This is a good time to share your dreams with someone you are close to.

At 10:50 AM the Moon enters Libra.  The Moon in Libra for the next 2 ½ days will tend to focus on the nature of your interactions with others.  The Libran Moon wants to relate to others as equals and to respect others and to be respected by those around you.  Encouraging this type of interaction will be beneficial to everyone.

Starting at 9:12 AM, peaking at 11:12 AM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period deep feelings within you that you have buried could affect your mood.  Be aware that you may be reacting to the past rather than the present. Ask yourself if you have felt this way in the past and when and with whom.  Be prepared to walk away from a situation if you get triggered.

Starting at 7:21 PM, peaking at 9:21 PM, the Moon in Libra is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Leo. 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.

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 27, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Gemini. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on June 3. This vibrational pattern brings a feeling of restless dissatisfaction and a need to seek for new or at least better answers about your life. There is a recognition that you need to evaluate the choices you have been making and open yourself up to new ways of understanding your situation. There is a driving energy here and you are likely to go ahead and take action right now. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Old-Fashioned Well”. This helps you tap into previously built structures, the deep well within you , finding a way back into the universal source of nurturing love and wisdom. This lets you quench your thirst and enables you to share with others. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Harem” which helps you to have a greater receptivity to the potential for new life in yourself and others.

On May 19 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on June 18. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of restless dissatisfaction as you seek to figure out what are the foundational patterns you are dealing with. Thus you find yourself reaching out seeking to discover something that you may have missed in your previous evaluation. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Two Cobblers working at a Table”. This challenges you to explore different points of view and not hold onto one point of view considering it to be the only way to understand the pattern you are working on.

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: Mercury >> Introductory phase of Saturn, Uranus: Turning Backward of Neptune, Pluto: Resolution 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 “!”}
