The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

Today, Saturday (4/17/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Jupiter (4*). This vibration is about the mind being stimulated and expanded. There is a mental openness today and a strong desire to be exposed to new ideas and experiences and people. There is a tendency to interact with others in a supportive way where everyone is accepted and valued. This supportive caring process can bring significant changes in the people involve and gives people to ability to positively and creatively affect the world around them as they realize that what affects one person affects all people. There is the potential for bringing creative change to the people and the community around you.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are getting a second chance enabling you to reconnect with lost opportunities through the  use of your imagination. You are looking beyond your previously restricted viewpoint, beginning to be aware of a larger reality.  You are basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life, developing a delicate and beautiful essence within that pattern that is radiating love, peace, beauty and simplicity, as you ground yourself and use your emotions appropriately, opening to the flow of spirit moving through you. The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in loss and despair, failing to believe in yourself and closing your imagination down so that you fail every time you try. You are being dissatisfied with everything you encounter and always looking for greener pastures, failing to see the gifts right in front of you.  You are focusing on conventionality and its meaningless trappings, closing off from subtle awarenesses and sensitivity, becoming shy and unresponsive, potentially shriveling up and dying.

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}

Apr 17 – Apr 18 (exact Apr 17) Mercury in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 9 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:49 PM then decreasing fading out around 5 AM on April. This vibration involves an intense need to act on your thoughts. There may be a tendency to get intensely focused on one set of ideas and a strong feeling that you must act on it. The constructiveness or potential damage is related to the nature of the ideas involved.

Apr 15 – Apr 17 (exact Apr 16) the Sun in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 10 AM. This vibration helps us get in touch with our mission and purpose in life. It may bring some additional understanding today.

This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:09 PM then decreasing fading out around 7 AM on April 18. This vibration has the mind stimulated and energized. This is a good time to try to solve problems that you may have been having trouble with. The mind is very open to learning new things.

Apr 14 – Apr 19 (exact Apr 17) Mars in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:14 AM then decreasing fading out around 10 AM on April 19. This vibration is quite expansive. You can see possibilities and take actions on a broader scale than normal. Be prepared to go big right now.

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 5:05 AM, peaking at 7:05 AM, the Moon in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a balance of the emotional and mental energies enabling them to work together effectively. This is an excellent time to work on a project that needs to be finished.

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 11, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon joining together in Aries. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 11. This New Moon holds the promise of a rebirth of our understanding of life, the potential for setting in motion a deeper understanding of the beauty of life and of all people that all of us must be included and valued to make a whole world. There is something new being born at this time, let us hope we can cherish it and welcome it into our lives. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable but veiled load”. This represents the potential for opening up in trust to the soft loving transmission of an extremely significant, hidden pattern that is in the process of forming within you. The challenge is for you to actually open up and not let your fear and blockages keep you from receiving this special gift.

On March 20, the Sun entered Aries. This is the Spring Equinox, the start of Spring. This vibration will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2021. The Spring vibration is extremely creative. There is unusual ability this spring to focus and work on creative projects. You are capable of making your own analysis of what is really important and what most needs to be done. At the same time there is a strong inclination to integrate this with your dreams and to take actions that will make your dreams more real. A Sabian Symbol that relates to this spring is “A Fellowship Supper” which relates to breaking through your feelings of alienation opening yourself up to healing your lines of connection to others. It is important to work past your fears and face whatever issues are relevant so that you can reconnect both with yourself and with the world around you.

This current Eclipse season ended on December 14, 2020 and the next eclipse season will begin on May 26, 2021. The current eclipse season will be influencing us until the next one begins. The current eclipse cycle involved a push for action based on feelings of dissatisfaction. This is combined with an awareness of the importance of being true to ourselves and that our true self is tuned into a greater reality of which we are a part, something greater than ourselves that we participate in. This is a call to open up to that greater reality, become one with it and be transformed by this experience.

The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Neptune
Introductory contact for Jupiter, 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 “!”}
