The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Monday (5/4/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Saturn (3*). This vibration directs you inside yourself to really experience what it means to be you, by yourself, without anyone else involved. You are encouraged here to face yourself. Who are you? What do you want in life? What is really happening inside you? There is a focus here on what is really important, what is the core, the foundation of what you are. What aides you and what blocks you. This is a time when it is important to spend some time by yourself, really tuning into what is going on with you and what you want to have going on with you. Once you have a sense of this, share it with those that you really trust and take action on it – whatever action is called for.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets
This combination is about opening your awareness, realizing that you have ways of taking care of yourself and protecting your internal integrity that you had no idea were present within you. Seek to be open to the sudden insights that may come your way.

The Dancing 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 first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
May 3 – May 5 (exact May 4) the Sun in Taurus is joining with Mercury in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:41 PM then decreasing fading out around 2 PM on May 5. This vibe is about the mind working very effectively and being strongly energized.
May 1 – May 8 (exact May 3) Venus in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 8 AM on May 8. This vibration wants to explore and develop your dreams and visions for your life. There is a significant potential to be able to act in ways that are in accord with your dreams.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a
couple of hours either side of their peak time.}
Starting at 8:24 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:24 PM yesterday, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is expansive and optimistic. This is a good time for social interaction.
At 3:09 AM the Moon enters Scorpio For the next 2 ½ days the Moon in Scorpio can tend to get very emotionally intense. The desire is to merge with the people you are involved with and with the projects you are working on. This can be uncomfortable for those not used to it as you can feel like you are being swallowed up. If it gets too much, just step back for a couple of minutes and take a breath, or even take a walk around the block to help you temporarily disconnect.
Starting at 4:15 AM, peaking at 6:15 AM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is a time when it is easier than usual to see what is really important and to make that the focus of your feelings.
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.}
The First Quarter Moon was on April 29 with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Leo. This vibration will influence us for a week until the Full Moon on May 7. This vibration is about in-depth analysis of our society and how effective we are being in comparison with other for relating to the world and taking care of the people in our society. This analysis will show what is working well and what is broken. There is a call then to work with other people and take action to bring more effective plans forward and fix that which is broken. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman sprinkling flowers” which encourages us to be open to the nourishing energy of the universe bringing blessings as you open to its loving care. This is the mother bringing you what you need. The Moon Symbol is “Children on a swing in a huge oak tree”. There is the opportunity here for you to begin working an a realm of expanded awareness that attunes you more deeply to everything around you. There is a warning to take it slowly and allow yourself time to understand the new realms you are starting to operate in.
The New Moon was on April 22 with the Sun and the Moon in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us for a month until the next New Moon on May 22. This vibration is very impulsive and electric, seeking to shift and reorganize the foundation on which we build our lives. Things may feel unstable this month. There is a desire to find or discover something unique or special, perhaps a special understanding of your current life experiences and to share that discovery with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and the Moon is “The rainbow’s pot of gold”. This encourages us to open up and reach out to embrace that which is calling you, perhaps a spiritual vision and to follow the path of greater awareness. There is a warning that personal addictions and self-centered preoccupation could close you off and block your personal growth and expansion.
The Spring Equinox was on March 19 at 11:45 PM. This is the official beginning of Spring, the time when the Sun enters Aries. There is a sense of restlessness in this vibration as if what you are experiencing is not enough and there is something more that you can almost sense that is happening on some other level. This is almost a sense of something spiritual that you are seeking to identify. There are two symbols that are relevant to the Spring Equinox. The first is the Moon Symbol, “A train entering a tunnel” which gives you a shortcut through the obstacles around you by going through a dark tunnel. I think this describes where we all are right now. The second symbol is for Saturn, “A secret business conference”. This is about tuning into a deeper level of what is happening in this time period, opening up to what is really going on beyond the appearances. This is about tuning into the hidden realities of the world. Having these symbols on the Spring Equinox indicates the potential for a break through during the Spring where we can more clearly see what is going on.
This Eclipse Season was from December 26 through January 10. This vibrational pattern will be in effect until June 5, 2020. This is about mobilizing the resources of yourself and your group to stand up for your principles and being willing to deal with or use focused assertive/aggressive energy if necessary to reach your goal. There is a warning that if you engage in threats and arguments and bickering, it will keep you from reaching your goals. There is a strong emphasis on mental evaluation and analysis of the long-term consequences of the actions we are taking right now. Remember that it is important to ally yourself with others in order to accomplish our goals. That you will likely be defeated it you refuse to work with other people being unable to trust anything beyond yourself. It is important to operate on a positive level involves unselfconsciously displaying yourself expressing your gifts with humility and delight. The challenge is to not come from a place of entitlement and self inflation.
The Retrograde Diary:
Introductory Contact for Venus, Uranus: Turning Backward of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Final 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.}
