The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Saturday (8/2/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Saturn joining with Neptune and Pluto (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is about seeking to relate to others in a harmonious, easy flowing manner. Even while you are trying to achieve your goals, you are aware of the relationship you and your work have on those you are relating to. This is about seeking the deep foundational awareness that lasts well past death. Today focusing on the core truth and foundational principles is what is going to be the most effective. For VA Students (6, 12, 18)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by .beginning a new project and letting it evolve naturally. It is important to work with others as equals with each of you voluntarily bearing your fair share of the responsibility.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Saturn, Neptune, Pluto >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are using humor and the resulting objectivity to make a clear analysis of the world around you, moving beyond a subjective emotional viewpoint. You are connecting into your cultural inheritance letting it shape you, recognizing that this enables you to effectively express yourself within the context of the world around you. You are discovering that the organized structures for dealing with life are too narrow and inadequate, finding that you must operate based on the awareness and sense of connection within you, refusing to be subject to outside authorities, recognizing and accepting the consequences of your actions.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in an artificial sense of pretension and reactiveness coming from taking yourself way too seriously. You are getting swallowed up by your cultural pattern, becoming a caricature of your racial or cultural stereotypes. You are rebelliously rejecting social structures and their expectations out of immaturity while ignoring the consequences of your actions, causing damage to yourself and all those around you.

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}.
Aug 2 – Dec 17 (exact Aug 28 and then Nov 20) Uranus in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Aries. This energy begins to influence us around 9 AM on Aug 2 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:14 PM on Aug 28 then it is decreasing fading out around 7 PM on Dec 17. This vibrational energy pattern brings a high level of sensitivity to the energy flows around you even if you can’t really describe what you are feeling. This sensitivity can result in sometimes unexplainable reactions to things that happen around you.
Jul 31 – Aug 2 (exact Aug 1) Venus in Cancer is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 1 PM on Aug 2. This vibrational energy pattern brings an attraction to dreams and ideals. You are focused on the beautiful feeling that your dreams give you and seeking to act based on that feeling.
Jul 31 – Aug 2 (exact Aug 1) Venus in Cancer is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 6 AM on Aug 2. This vibrational energy pattern brings an attunement to the essential beauty at the core of whatever you are focused on. You are going to take action based on your perception of this essential beauty.
July 27 – Aug 25 (exact Aug 11) Saturn in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Gemini. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:32 PM on Aug 11 then it is decreasing fading out around 11 PM on Aug 25. This vibrational energy pattern brings about an independent streak. You are more aware than usual of your own ideas and how they differ from the ideas of those around you. You are going to have your own interpretation of what you experience.
Jul 10 – Aug 12 (not exact) Saturn in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for the next month. This is about examining your area of interest or concern and figuring out what is the deep foundational truth that lies at the core of it.
Jun 29 – Oct 6 (not exact) Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for more than three months. Here we have a passion for new and exciting dreams and visions that will involve people forming broad networks of connection with each other. There is the potential here for the visions of one to inspire the many.
Jun 9 – Aug 23 (not exact) Saturn in Aries is joining with Neptune in Aries. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt a lot over this summer. Here we have the potential for new spiritual understandings to begin to emerge. This can also bring deception and fraud. Each person has to decide whether to be open to the amazing energies starting to reach into our consciousness or to be caught up in what they want to believe is true and deceiving themselves and others.
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 7:07 PM, peaking at 9:07 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Virgo. In this 4 hr period you want to express your emotions in an active harmonious way sharing with others. This is a great time for group activities or meetings or for social sharing or for team sports.
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 1, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Leo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on August 9, 2025.This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on your conceptual understanding of your areas of interest. There is the potential at this time to have new deep insights burst into your consciousness and perhaps blow you away. If you have had a new understanding of your field come into consciousness today pay attention to it. It is a new paradigm that you are tuning into. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Early Morning Dew” which is about you opening up to the light of the spirit gently nourishing you, renewing and refreshing you after a long dark night of doubt and fear where you were depressed and isolated from everything. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Fellowship Supper”. This involves reaching out to others and sharing companionably with them, forming and renewing feelings of fellowship and bonding, breaking through feelings of alienation. You are opening up to healing your lines of connection.
On July 24, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 23, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is focused on an intense need to flow with the people around you. There is a need to adjust your approach to more effectively communicate with those around you. There is a sharp contrast between responding impulsively and doing the responsible things that need to be done. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Woman having her hair bobbed”. This is about the importance of cutting back on the excesses of ego display and shifting to finding appropriate expressions of your innate sense of yourself. If you are seeking to create an illusion that will get you accepted by others, you will find that it does not hold and the results can be very difficult.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern lays out adjustments we are challenged to make in our lives as we each learn to tune into our own unique awareness of how life needs to be lived to work well for us and others. The first adjustment is to learn to take action based on our discrimination of truth vs deception. Secondly there is a challenge to learn when one must act and be willing to do that. Finally we are challenged to learn how to take really big actions that move us into a different level of interaction with the world around us. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon relationship at the Summer Solstice is “A Peacock parading on an Ancient Lawn” which is about each of us recognizing that there is an ancient foundational pattern in the core of each person’s being that is manifesting through you and that this foundational pattern supports the unfolding of the natural beauty and delightful rightness that you carry within you. This is your time to embrace and celebrate this pattern surging up through you.
On March 29, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of dissatisfaction and a restless searching that is reaching out to find something more satisfactory. There is a sense of connecting into another level of awareness that is idealistic and visionary. This awareness can either open you up to amazing deep spiritual truths or bring a sense of confusion and deceit and betrayal that needs to be penetrated to get to the truths underneath it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon Solar Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to Immediate Service”. This is about totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. Remaining focused at this time enables you to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On March 14, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern helps us connect into what we really feel deep inside of us. It encourages us to be true to those internal feelings. This can involve letting go of some emotional feelings that do not really serve us. There is a strong focus on working with others helping them to connect into the deep patterns within them that show who they really are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Inhabited Island” which is about you truly grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. Take care to not be putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you and focus only on yourself feeling alienated, deserted and alone. The Moon Symbol is “Mary and her little Lamb”, which is about loving yourself and those around you, operating based on love, kindness and friendship for mutual support, while maintaining your boundaries and your sense of self-integrity. There is a danger here of you or the other person becoming overly dependent on the other.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury, Jupiter >> Introductory Period for Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Back of Saturn: Reworking of Mercury, Neptune, 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 “!!!”}
