The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry

For the last five days and today, Monday (9/1/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Uranus joining with Neptune and Pluto (5*). We are returning to this vibrational energy pattern as it continues to grow stronger. It is working on harmonious interactions with others, especially focused on relating with people that are like you.  This is extended out into more universal levels with a great deal of sensitivity.  There is a compulsive need for free, spontaneous expression of your dreams and visions which is now extended to seeking to use your dreams and visions to benefit the community as a whole. For VA Students (6, 12, 18, 24, 30)

For six days now this vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by stepping back and becoming detached.  This enables you to relate to what you are working on without prejudgment.  There is a strong emphasis on relatedness and interconnectivity with an understanding that each person is equally important and all must carry equal weight.

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
6 (3*) Need for compatible interactions with others
24 (3*) Free-flowing action expressing of your motivations and drives harmoniously

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto >>

The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are providing an open container that can receive the gifts/awarenesses that spirit in a disguised form is furtively bringing to you. You are using humor and the resulting objectivity to make a clear analysis of the world around you, moving beyond a subjective emotional viewpoint.  You are experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality.

The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are closing yourself off and refusing to accept the gifts that are being offered to you from unexpected sources. You are getting caught up in an artificial sense of pretension and reactiveness coming from taking yourself way too seriously.  You are losing control and exploding emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself.

2 Gemini = Uranus [Santa Claus filling stockings furtively] You are providing an open container that can receive the gifts/awarenesses that spirit in a disguised form is furtively bringing to you and/or you are closing yourself off and refusing to accept the gifts that are being offered to you from unexpected sources

2 Aries = Neptune [A comedian entertaining a group] You are using humor and the resulting objectivity to make a clear analysis of the world around you, moving beyond a subjective emotional viewpoint and/or you are getting caught up in an artificial sense of pretension and reactiveness coming from taking yourself way too seriously

2 Aquarius = Pluto [An unexpected thunderstorm] You are experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality and/or you are losing control and exploding emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself

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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.

At 4:06 AM Saturn reenters Pisces bringing a sense of the deep fundamental connections we all have with each other and with everything around us.  A Pisces Saturn is very good at connecting things together that don’t look like they belong together, so use this 165 days to reach out and connect with that which you thought you had lost finding the true connection that is worth keeping.

Aug 11 – Oct 27 (not exact) Uranus in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for the 2 ½ months. This vibrational energy pattern brings an intense need to be free and able to act spontaneously and genuinely.  At this time you cannot tolerate a feeling of restriction and control.

Aug 2 – Dec 17 (exact Aug 28 and then Nov 20) Uranus in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 7 PM on Dec 17. This vibrational energy pattern brings a high level of sensitivity to the energy flows around you even if you can’t really describe what you are feeling. This sensitivity can result in sometimes unexplainable reactions to things that happen around you.   

Jun 29 – Oct 6 (not exact) Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for more than three months. Here we have a passion for new and exciting dreams and visions that will involve people forming broad networks of connection with each other.  There is the potential here for the visions of one to inspire the many.

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 5:36 PM, peaking at 7:36 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Leo. This 4 hr period brings a good interaction between your mind and emotions helping you to both think and feel clearly. This is a good time to be working on important projects.

Starting at 7:38 PM, peaking at 9:38 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period is a time when you want to focus on what is really important in your life and take actions to support those things.  This could involve things like working on long-term projects or cleaning out the things that are not important.  So this is a good time to clean up something that has been bothering you.

At 9:44 PM the Moon enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times.  If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation occurs, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.

Starting at 10:20 PM, peaking at 12:20 AM early September 2, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Aries. This 4 hr period highlights your dreams and is a great time to do anything that is especially magical for you, like visiting some special place that you love to go to. There may be some feelings of disconnection from the everyday world and perhaps a sense of fuzziness or vagueness.  It will pass as the Moon moves beyond Neptune.

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 September 31, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Energy Pattern suggests reevaluation of one’s motives and goals when difficulties occur. There is a questioning of what is real versus that which is an illusion or deception.  Sudden insights into deep hidden patterns are likely to expand and bring a reassessment of who you want to be associating with. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Man making a Futurist Drawing” which involves looking at things in a uniquely different light, using your creativity to discover new and different possibilities for the future. Take care to not lose touch with the world around you and get caught up in patterns of unrealistic thought. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Mother with her Children on Stairs” which reminds us that we are being guided with love and care through progressive levels of awareness, growing in understanding the innate beauty of this moment when our awareness is expanded. You can get lost in yourself if you refuse to give or receive help and you can become trapped in a pattern of refusing to grow up and instead looking to continue to be looked after and taken care of.

On August 23, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon which is a Solar Eclipse on September 21. This Vibrational Energy Pattern challenges us to cut through the layers of confusion and deception and see the truth that lies below them.  There is a potential here for sudden eruptions from the depths that can bring a new beginning, a rebirth. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Man’s Head”. This is about acknowledging the distortions, misunderstandings and illusions that you have been operating out of accepting responsibility for your actions or about seeking to justify your distortions while blaming others for things that you are doing.

On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern lays out adjustments we are challenged to make in our lives as we each learn to tune into our own unique awareness of how life needs to be lived to work well for us and others.  The first adjustment is to learn to take action based on our discrimination of truth vs deception. Secondly there is a challenge to learn when one must act and be willing to do that. Finally we are challenged to learn how to take really big actions that move us into a different level of interaction with the world around us.  The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon relationship at the Summer Solstice is “A Peacock parading on an Ancient Lawn” which is about each of us recognizing that there is an ancient foundational pattern in the core of each person’s being that is manifesting through you and that this foundational pattern supports the unfolding of the natural beauty and delightful rightness that you carry within you.  This is your time to embrace and celebrate this pattern surging up through you.

On March 29, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of dissatisfaction and a restless searching that is reaching out to find something more satisfactory. There is a sense of connecting into another level of awareness that is idealistic and visionary. This awareness can either open you up to amazing deep spiritual truths or bring a sense of confusion and deceit and betrayal that needs to be penetrated to get to the truths underneath it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon Solar Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to Immediate Service”. This is about totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. Remaining focused at this time enables you to pursue the opportunities available to you.

On March 14, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern helps us connect into what we really feel deep inside of us. It encourages us to be true to those internal feelings. This can involve letting go of some emotional feelings that do not really serve us. There is a strong focus on working with others helping them to connect into the deep patterns within them that show who they really are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is An Inhabited Islandwhich is about you truly grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. Take care to not be putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you and focus only on yourself feeling alienated, deserted and alone. The Moon Symbol is “Mary and her little Lamb”, which is about loving yourself and those around you, operating based on love, kindness and friendship for mutual support, while maintaining your boundaries and your sense of self-integrity. There is a danger here of you or the other person becoming overly dependent on the other.

The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Jupiter, Saturn >> Introductory Period for Jupiter: Turning Back of Uranus: Reworking of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Forward 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 “!!!”}
