The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Saturday (4/6/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon and Mars joining with Saturn (1*). The strongest vibrational energy today deals with basic interactions with others, the natural flow of energy between us and the world, and the need to make changes to deal with blockages and enable the world to flow more freely and whole. There is a call to explore the world around you and to do what you feel you have to do to accomplish the essential goals that you have. There is a sense of working as hard as you must to accomplish the goals that are essential to success in your ventures. (For VA Students: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
The Theme for today is to grow naturally as you are meant to grow and develop, being true to yourself and not letting others direct your path.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
1 (1*) 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: Moon, Mars, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are humbly recognizing that you will end up with the experiences that are right for you at this time, as you’re being examined to see if you have reached the level of personal development that will open the door into more advanced levels of awareness. You are evaluating possible future situations that you will face, figuring out the skills that need to be developed to protect those for whom you’re responsible, recognizing the strength, authority and responsibility within you while being relaxed at the same time, recognizing that yours is an essential role in the unfolding of universal awareness.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are focusing on winning a place for yourself and achieving a position that will prove that you’re valuable and accomplished, not realizing that this focus is keeping you from getting to the level of awareness you’re seeking. You are constantly worrying about possible future problems, being fearful and overreacting and losing touch with the joy of life.

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 of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Apr 5 – Apr 7 (exact Apr 6) Venus in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:45 PM on Apr. 6 then decreasing fading out around 9 AM on Apr. 7. This vibrational energy pattern involves an irrational attraction to beauty. This is something that you find so compelling that you just cannot resist searching for it. This is a good time to be aware if there is a place or a person that you really feel drawn to and to see if you can go to that place and feel the beauty that is there.
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 11:08 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:08 AM early April 6, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Mars in Pisces. In this 4 hr period when the Moon and Mars join together the emotions get a lot of energy and there is a desire to go out and take action. If something blocks that action there may be feelings of anger.
Starting at 4:10 AM, peaking at 6:10 AM, 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.
Starting at 11:12 AM, peaking at 1:12 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Taurus. 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 3:10 PM, peaking at 5:10 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you are wanting to share spontaneous exciting experiences with your friends and companions. You need the freedom to be able to impulsively do what you feel like in this moment.
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 1, the Third Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Aries. This will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is about the old obsessive patterns from the past erupting unpredictably with potential for violence in the present moment without any concern for how disruptive or consequential this may be. There is a challenge here to learn how to interact with love and respect no matter what our differences are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Unsuccessful Bomb Explosion” which is about learning that you have to face your situation and take personal responsibility for yourself and your actions. There are certain limitations and constraints that are part of life and you can either cope with them or deny them and live in a state of illusion. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Fire Worshiper”. This is about learning to humbly recognize your ties to the divine essence in the heart of all things. This can bring feelings of exaltation and consummation as the darkness, self-centeredness, fear and insecurity within you are burned away.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind people’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
On March 19, the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 25, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is connecting into our deep emotional levels making us aware of these deep levels and bringing the potential for a reworking, a rebirth of these deep levels based on insight into what is actually going on within us. This insight may come as a result of seeking to act out of these deep levels and getting feedback from the world around us. There is the potential for a reality check on the foundations of our systems during this three month period. The Sabian Symbol for the relationship of Sun to Moon is “A Man formally dressed and a Deer with its Horns folded. This symbol recognized our more primitive aggressive instincts and shows that we use formal, polite relationship patterns to guide our interactions with other. This will enable us to gain control of our more primitive aggressive instincts. Displaying power, dominance and intimidation in this time period is going against the current energy flow and will tend to undermine the accomplishment of your goals.
On March 10, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon, the Solar Eclipse, on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern involves an evaluation of the world around you to see how well it matches up with your internal sense of the way the world needs to operate. This is a time to take action to adjust the patterns around you so that they more closely match up with what is inside you. It is important to look at the consequences of the patterns within you and those around you and to adjust your actions when they are not reaching to objectives you want to have happen. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A little white Lamb, a Child and a Chinese Servant”. This is a challenge to recognize the value of all levels of consciousness, seeking to serve and teach those who are less aware than you in a gentle loving manner while you are recognizing that you are learning from everyone around you. There is a warning here that if you fail to take responsibility for yourself you may face unpleasant consequences.
On October 14, 2023 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy is particularly oriented towards involvement in creative groups. There is a desire to explore without an agenda and see what wonders you can find. This involves a passion for learning and applying what you have learned. There is a desire to expand emotionally at a pace you can handle effectively. There is also a need to go out and act and express yourself, make your life happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Child giving Birds a Drink at a Fountain”. This is about drawing from the fountain of spiritual nourishment, replenishing yourself and generously sharing with those around you who are not able to obtain it for themselves.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period for Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Reworking of Mercury: 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 “!!!”}
