The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (8/13/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Venus joining with Neptune (0*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is just below one star or 50 points. Even though it is weak I think people are likely to feel it as a potential energy that can be expressed. This vibration is related to involvement in other people’s stories. There is a sense of the beauty of these stories and especially of the dreams and visions people have of life. This is a day when it would be a special experience to spend some time listening to other people and what is happening with them and how they view life. This is also a great day to write down some of your own stories and visions for life and how it can be for you and for others. (For VA Students: 17).
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
30 (1*) Creative Harmonious Shared Interaction with Others
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are developing a passionate sensitiveness to everything in yourself and in the world, learning how and when patterns start and how best to stop them when they start spiraling out of control. You are getting rid of all that is not truly part of your essence as a deeply spiritually aligned and complete person, while recognizing the truth of other people , seeing who and what they are in the essence of their beings. You are cutting back on the excesses of ego display, finding appropriate expressions of your innate sense of yourself. You are seeing the beautiful façade that you have learned to present to the world and realizing that there is something dark and distorted that it is concealing. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are experiencing the arrogant pride and presumptuousness of an overinflated ego that is seeking to spread out like a disease, destroying those opposed to it. You are refusing to look at distortions in your values and motives, clinging to rigid positions, deceiving, lying, and misleading those around you and being rejected. You are creating an illusion that is not really you so that you can be accepted by others. You are focusing on the beautiful façade you have learned to display and insisting that that is all there is, refusing to see the hidden darker levels below it that are potentially out of control.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Aug 13 – Aug 16 (exact Aug 14) Mars in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 4 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:28 PM on Aug 14 then decreasing fading out around 8 AM on Aug 16. This vibration is about a very intense need to take action. You may find yourself focused on a particular action and feel that you just must do it. In fact, it can erupt in you like a volcano. If this is not an appropriate action, you may be able to wrench yourself away and just leave. This is a very difficult aspect. Watch for energy building up inside of you and remove yourself from the situation that is triggering you.
Aug 13 – Aug 15 (exact Aug 14) the Sun in Leo is opposing Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe begins to influence us around 3 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:10 PM on Aug 14 then decreasing fading out around 12 PM on Aug 15. This vibration is about seeing the deep essential factors motivating others and yourself. This may give you some control of your energy that you would not otherwise have. You will want to eliminate trivial concerns and focus on what is the most essential aspect of the current situation.
Aug 10 – Aug 13 (exact Aug 11) Mars in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 10 AM. This vibration brings an attunement to your dreams and the ability to act on them with others in a smoothly flowing harmonious experience.
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 1:02 PM, peaking at 3:02 PM, the Moon in Pisces is opposing Mercury in Virgo. In this 4 hr period the emotions and moods will tend to influence the mind during this time, as well as the mind having an influence on the mood and emotions. They will tend to take turns being dominant.
Starting at 7:49 PM, peaking at 9:49 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 August 11, the Full Moon occurred with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on Aug 27. This vibrational pattern is very action oriented. There is a strong need to go out and do things. The focus is on expressing yourself in your unique way and forming your own ideas about how things work and what you need to do. This involves internal evaluation of your own motives and desires and a lot of introspection to get in touch with you really are and how to express that. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The Zuni Sun Worshippers”. This helps you reconnect with the sacredness of all life. It brings an awareness that even during stressful times, you can connect into the universal and let the fire of the divine shine through you. The Moon Symbol is “A Big White Dove, a Message Bearer”. This symbols is about you being open to messages from spirit coming from the world around you or speaking quietly within you. There is the potential here for opening yourself to a deeper, clearer level of interaction with spiritl
On July 28, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on Aug 27. This vibrational pattern brings a focus on your own internal world and may well be a time of withdrawal. You may find yourself needing more time to yourself than usual in order to keep your internal balance. At the same time there is the indication of a need to expand either your own awareness or your connections with the greater world. The Sabian Symbol for the new moon is “An Old-Fashioned Woman and an Up-To-Date Girl”. This is about needing to balance tried and true patterns with new innovative patterns looking for the most effective and wisest course of action. There is a danger of becoming so attached to a particular point of view that you feel threatened by anything that challenges it.
On June 21 the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22. The vibrational energy pattern for the solstice contains a shared potential for creative exploration. There is also a sense of shared restlessness and dissatisfaction that seems to drive people to seek something different than what they have. The Sabian Symbol for the Summer Solstice comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon. It is “A Gypsy coming out of the Forest” which shows the potential for people to move beyond their previously restricted viewpoint and become aware of a larger reality that they can connect into.
On May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun 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 October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.
On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awareness of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Saturn Turning back of Jupiter, Uranus: Reworking of Saturn, Neptune: Turning forward of Pluto {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 “!”}
