The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today,Saturday (04/15/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Venus joining with Jupiter (1*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is involved with other people and their stories. There is a process of stepping back and seeing the big picture. This is combined with the desire to share that with others. There is the potential here for very effective communication and speaking. You may find yourself being able to express things more clearly with more beauty and charm than is usually the case. Take time today to be open with those around you at the same time you are allowing others to share openly with you. (For VA Students: 17)

TheSabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter >>>The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are starting to feel things out, connecting in, groping around and playing,seeking to develop some new ways of understanding and expressing yourself. You are learning about the fundamental energies that are at the root of life that support all we do here on earth. You are digging down into the ancient strata looking for that which has been formed deep within you; recognizing the pressure these old structures generate; seeking to get access to the resources at these deeper levels. You are sensing a protective spirit that surrounds and nurtures you and recognizing that your personal link to spirit is buried deeply within you while you’re focusing on developing yourself and expressing yourself effectively in the world. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are holding onto the issues and habitual ways you have been operating and refusing to try anything new. You are rejecting any indications of deeper patterns within you and blaming others for your problems. You are scattering your energies in all kinds of superficial preoccupation with surface issues; refusing to acknowledge and address the deeper issues creating and pressuring the surface. You are closing down and being unable to feel the loving support and protection being offered to you because of your misunderstandings and confusion about what you are experiencing.

TheTwo 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}
Apr 13 – Apr 15(exact Apr 14) Venus in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn inPisces. This vibe is decreasingfading out around 11:30 AM. This vibration is taking action to seek out and find the most fundamental, essential experiences of love and beauty that it knows of. This may be a time when a very special connection is made or reinforced.
TheMoods 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 4:36AM, peaking at 6:36 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is sharing freely (sextile) withJupiter in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a sense of emotional expansion and optimism and a desire to reach out and interact with others socially.
Starting at 9:16AM, peaking at 11:16 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is sharing freely (sextile) withthe Sun in Aries. In this 4 hr period you will feel a lightening of your mood with your emotions flowing easily in interaction with others. A meeting or a social gathering would be smoother and easier right now.
Starting at 11:57 PM, peaking at 1:57 AM earlyApril 16, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period calls for an evaluation of your emotional patterns to see whether you are reacting emotionally to things that do not really matter where you will not remember what upset you in an hour or a day. It is about learning to let go of emotional feelings that are not about significant long-term issues.
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 April 13, the Third Quarter Moon Phase starts with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on April 19. This vibrational energy encourages you to act to make new and unusual connections. Watch what is happening around you and be open to crossing lines and boundaries that you have not previously considered crossing. This is about learning to be more inclusive in your personal action. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia” which encourages you to open your spirit to become connected into the abundance and flow of life where you are a vehicle through which life flows sharing that energy with those who are around you. The Moon symbol is “A Woman entering a Convent” represents you recognizing that you are a vehicle through which the divine spiritcan operate here on earth as you open up to a love that is greater than yourself.
On April 6, the Full Moon occurs with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on April 19. This vibrational pattern brings a strong need to expand and grow whatever you are working on or involved in. You may feel that it is time to make a shift and to really do what is important to you whether it is practical or not. This can mean that you may be surprised by the decisions and actions of the people around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Two Prim Spinsters” which is about turning inward to break free of the bonds of traditional restrictions. There is an opportunity here to open up to expression of the impulsive side of yourself. Take care that your fears do not result in rigid control of your impulses, withdrawing and being threatened by the potential for exuberant expression of life. The symbol for the Moon is “A Retired Sea Captain”. This reminds you that by stepping back and seeing the ebb and flow of life you can experience a sense of the patterns of your life and get a more complete understanding of your experiences and interactions with others.
On March 21, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun joining together in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on April 19. This vibrational pattern brings the Sun and Moon together with Mercury and Neptune. This brings a sense of connecting within yourself into your emotional patterns and feelings combining them with the ideas you find fascinating. You may be able to see some new combinations. This may be aided by discussions with others where you can both share the ideas you are finding especially interesting at this time. There is a potential here to get in touch with your dreams and be able to see them in a different light. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A woman rises out of water, a seal rises and embraces her”. This encourages you to open up to a feeling of new beginnings within you. There is the potential for something new to start in your life if you are open to it and make a commitment to moving into these new potentials.
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.
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon 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 April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory phase of Mercury, Saturn, Neptune: Turning Backward of Pluto: 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 “!”}
