Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report
by Linda Berry and Starlene Breiter
Today the Strongest Vibration comes from Mercury joining with Uranus and Pluto (1*). This is a three day pattern with today being the last day that it is the most dominant pattern. It brings an inclination to impulsive, spur-of-the-moment actions. With this being combined with the Solar Eclipse that is occurring today, the mind is strengthened and the impulsiveness while still there is not as dominating as it has been the last two days. You are more able to settle down and do the hard work needed to change your situation to one you will be more satisfied with. Your mind is working very well and guiding you in effectively developing yourself and expressing who you really are.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
7 (1*) Internal focus, structure and discipline
The Mood of the Day
Jupiter in Scorpio starts to come to a trine with Neptune in Pisces about 3 AM today. This aspect builds in energy until its peak on August 19th, and it continues to have some influence until August 25th. Therefore this is one of those long aspect that has potential for personal change. This is especially true if these two planets connect with any of the planets in your own chart. This has potential for great peace and idealistic energy to surface. There is a feeling that love is the answer, and really it is. Your ideals are being given a huge magnifying glass to look at them through. So they feel big! It is time to look at that and see how you can help yourself with finding those highest ideals of yours. They are not out of reach, you just have to grab for them.
Mercury in Leo started to form a square to Jupiter in Scorpio yesterday. This aspect peaks at 2:31 AM today and lasts until tomorrow. This can have us feeling quick to jump to conclusions. Your mind and your personal philosophy may feel challenged during this time. If so, go over what you think is your own personal philosophy and really ask yourself, are you living that?
Saturn in Capricorn started to form a trine with Uranus in Taurus on Wednesday, August 1st. This aspect never actually comes to a peak because Saturn is retrograde right now, then Uranus goes retrograde August 7th, but this aspect is intense all the way through! It slowly loses some strength until the second week in August. Then it starts to pick up again, until about September 5, when it finally starts to lose strength again. This aspect lasts until the third week in September before finally leaving us. This is a positive aspect that can help you to achieve the results that you want to achieve, when other times you may have wanted to achieve something and have not made it. You are asked to focus yourself on being in the present moment and to let go of anything that is not necessarily long lasting to you too.
{The remaining aspects to mention today are aspects to the Moon. Moon aspects are more like moods, than life-changing alterations/situations. Since they are two planet Moon patterns they only last a couple of hours on each side of their peak times.}
The only Moon aspect to mention today is a big one! The Leo Moon joins with the Leo Sun, creating the New Moon in Leo. This is also a solar eclipse. So this is a powerful time of change, especially for anyone with any planets that are along the 17-19 degree axis of Leo and Aquarius. Often change is challenging, so if you are faced with it, try to go with the flow instead of pushing against it. Be sure to read the Cyclic Patterns section of this Astro Tapestry Report (below) to read more about the New Moon in Leo. After the peak of the New Moon, the Moon goes into a void-of-course phase until 11:59 PM when she moves into the sign of Virgo. The Virgo Moon has us analyzing and looking to fix and correct any things in life that may not be working perfectly. Enjoy organizing and being orderly under the Virgo Moon, as the Moon stays in Virgo until Tuesday.

Today we have the final chapter in our current Eclipse Cycle. This is a Partial Solar Eclipse occurring at 5:58 AM at the New Moon. This eclipse cycle will continue to influence us at least until the next eclipse cycle which begins on January 5, 2019. Today’s eclipse is especially concerned with our interactions with other people and perceiving the true motives and the true essence of the people we are encountering in our lives and in the patterns of unfolding of our world. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A houseboat party”. This has to do with whether your interactions with others are relaxed and accepting of who and what everyone is. You may find yourself in some situations in the next few months where you feel trapped and like you need to behave in ways that are not comfortable or appropriate for you. The message from this eclipse is to get back in touch with your higher universal awareness and sense what it is guiding you to do.
Mercury went retrograde on July 26 and will turn direct on August 19. The post-retrograde period will be from August 19 to September 2. This Mercury retrograde is focused on whether you get caught up in the superficiality of appearances or you can learnt to expand your awareness of yourself and others to a point where you recognize your innate self-worth and the worth of other people and recognize that who a person is, is a lot more important than what they appear to be. Appearances can be deceiving and you are challenged to look at the deeper truths of each person you interact with.
The Summer Solstice was on June 21 and this energy pattern will be influencing us until September 22 when the Fall Equinox occurs. The Summer Solstice is when the Sun enters Cancer and the Summer officially begins. With the temperatures we have been seeing a lot of places, it looks like the Summer has gotten off to a running start. This summer there is a strong emphasis on taking action that will benefit the community and bring peace and healing. People will not be willing to sacrifice their sense of what is right and ultimately meaningful but they will value operating in peaceful cooperative ways to achieve their goals. In the midst of all this it is important for each of us to take some time out to just be in the moment and relax and play in a creative way.
Mars went retrograde on June 27(9aq13) and will turn direct in on August 27(28cp37). When Mars appears to go retrograde due to our position here on the Earth, the Mars energies are likely to go out of control if they are disturbed. In other words, anyone who hasn’t worked through their issues with anger and frustration may explode during Mars retrograde. There is also a shadow around the retrograde both before and after the retrograde period when the Mars energy may not work the way you expect it to work. The pre-retrograde shadow was from May 13th to June 27th. The post-retrograde shadow will be from August 27th to October 8th. In the post-retrograde shadow you will have an opportunity to rework your issues with anger and frustration and perhaps learn a better way of dealing with times when your actions get blocked by something or someone around you. The challenge of this Mars retrograde period is to see where you need to take responsibility for your life and your decisions rather than blaming others, to see what biases and illusions you carry within you that are distorting your reactions and to revise your understanding to see the deeper truths of each person as a unique soul and spirit of value.
