The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Saturday (4/25/2026), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Jupiter and Uranus (1*). This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about exploring what you are attracted to in the world around you in a community seeking a smoothly flowing, expanded organic understanding. You are likely to be taking big actions that are approaching your subject from a different perspective than anyone expects and being very successful in the process. For VA Students (15, 30)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by exploring what you are attracted to in the world around you tuning into the universal pattern you are interacting with as you work with others as equal partners trusting each person to do their part.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
15 (2*) Free-flowing Play and Creative exploration
1 (2*) Doing things your own way, evaluating the ideas of others and only changing if you agree with them
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are being hungry and blocked and opening up to help from a mother spirit recognizing that you need a greater awareness and strength than you have in order to penetrate through the barriers and find the nourishment you need. You are breaking free of social expectations, seeking to express your true inner self. You are celebrating your body as an unfolding of natural beauty and delightful rightness that is an expression of the ancient supporting foundation pattern of your core that is manifesting through you. You are learning to face your situation and take personal responsibility for yourself and your actions having found that rebelling and seeking to break free does not work because you can’t avoid the restrictions, limitations, and constraints of finite existence, can’t deny them and can’t explode to get out of them. You are using ritual to bond in a permanent equal exchange with this new world even though you know you still have a lot to learn.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are refusing help from others, seeking to do it all by yourself and gradually getting weaker and weaker. You are rebelling and seeking to attack that which is attempting to limit you and force you to fit into a rigid narrowly defined shape. You are vainly taking all credit to yourself and ignoring the ancient patterns that have supported and defined you. You are desperately fighting against the restrictions, limitations, and constraints of finite existence, operating in a state of denial of personal responsibility and substituting illusions for reality. You are seeking to conform to social expectations, using ritual as a superficial form of appeasement.

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 12:03 AM on Friday, April 24, Venus enters Gemini bringing 24 days where your mood may be light hearted and you may find your feelings of curiosity getting very strong resulting in you exploring whatever you are attracted to. Follow your bliss, you never know what you might discover.
At 8:51 PM on Saturday, April 25, Uranus enters Gemini bringing 7 years where you are going to be exploring your attractions in the world around you. Just relax and play with whatever you want to. You never know what you will find.
Apr 25 – Apr 27 (exact Apr 26) Venus in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Aries. This energy begins to influence us around 6 PM on Apr 25 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:43 PM on Apr 26 then it is decreasing fading out around 10 AM on Apr 27. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of joining with others where you all share a beautiful vision that you work together on seeking to bring to completion.
Apr 24 – Apr 26 (exact Apr 25) the Sun in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Aquarius. This energy begins to influence us around 12 PM on Apr 24 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:32 PM on Apr 25 then it is decreasing fading out around 1 PM on Apr 26. This vibrational energy pattern brings an attunement to your mission in life and a strong need to be directly and explicitly operating based on that mission.
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 7:04 PM, peaking at 9:04 PM, the Moon in Virgo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Gemini. In this 4 hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next moment and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”
Starting at 11:40 PM, peaking at 1:40 AM early April 26, the Moon in Virgo is acting and agitating (square) with Venus in Gemini. This 4 hr period brings a desire to feel beautiful. You will probably be more aware of your appearance and the appearance of the world around you. You may be moved to make something around you look nicer.
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 23, the First Quarter Moon Phase was reached with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on May 1, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about tuning in to your own sense of how the world around you needs to be structured. How is power best expressed? What are the important principles around which to organize the society you live in? This week people are going to be joining together with other people who share their sense of how society needs to operate, seeking to make their vision the objective reality. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The Rainbow’s Pot of Gold” which is about you seeing a vision of your heart’s desire and feeling inspired by this vision, enabling you to start seeing the things that would block you from pursuing your dream, The danger is to think you already have what you want not realizing that you have to do the work to get it. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Man formally dressed and a Deer with its Horns folded”. This is about working to gain control of your more primitive aggressive instincts by operating using rigid formal structures. There is a dangerous potential here to slip into power and dominance seeking to intimidate others.
On April 17, the New Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Aries. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 16, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern focuses on the need to include the elements of society that are normally excluded from the equation. This is a call for radical inclusion in this moment of the things that are being ignored, denied or swept under the rug. This pattern is joined to the New Moon which makes it a central focus. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Large Disappointed Audience”. This is about being confronted with the results of your lack of awareness, personal preoccupation and blindness that have disappointed and hurt others and yourself, facing your failings and engaging in the self-evaluation that will enable you to grow and change. If you hold onto old ego patterns and only see your own point of view, you will likely become angry with others for not going along with your personal preoccupations and agenda.
On March 20, the Spring/Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries, the Spring/Fall Equinox. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us at least until the Summer/Winter Solstice on June 21, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is especially focused on finding ways to share your sense of life with other people. There is a strong desire to support good positive connections to society and to seek to communicate your sense of how to live in society in a way that works for everyone. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon relationship at the Spring Equinox is “A Pugilist entering the Ring” which is about having a strong sense of yourself as a person who is willing to stand up for yourself and fight for what you know and believe in no matter what the opposition. If you fail to effectively defend your point of view you will have to deal with the consequences.
On March 3, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse, on August 28, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse, on August 12, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about stepping back and seeing the big picture. There may be a lot of emotional activity connected with this eclipse. There is also the potential for exceptional communication that can be very effective. This pattern shows that there is a potential to act out of your personal concepts without taking other people into account. There are hidden things going on that have the potential to be revealed and cause a big shift in understanding. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Sword in a Museum”. This presents a choice. You can lay aside the use of force to gain your ends and embrace love and peace, both within yourself and in your interactions with others. Or you can hold grudges and be ready to fight others at any sign of opposition. Or you can give up in defeat and feel worthless and useless. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Strong Hand supplanting Political Hysteria”. Here the power of your personality and your spiritual awareness is acting to calm the situation down. Alternatively, you are being too timid and afraid to take action, losing the opportunity to gain control; or using your power and energy to manipulate the reactions of others for your personal gain.
On February 17, the Solar Eclipse (a New Moon) occurred with the Moon and Sun in Aquarius. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse, on August 12, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a sudden unexpected change that surprises everyone. The energy is focused on internal evaluation of the patterns that you are seeing around you with you seeing what changes are needed to reestablish a flow within the social structure. There is the capacity here to take the actions that will bring about that change. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “Butterfly emerging from Chrysalis”. This speaks of emerging from a long period of suspended confinement within a transformative cocoon. You are discovering that you have experienced a complete metamorphosis of your personal self in this time period. The key is to open up to new and different experiences and not hold onto the old limited form.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Backward of Pluto: Resolution of Jupiter, 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 “!!!”}
