The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
The Strongest Vibrational influence for the third day of four comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Uranus (11*). This vibration is extremely strong today. You could almost say it is yelling at us. This focuses on how you can smoothly integrate your strong needs for free impulsive expression of yourself at any given time with your sense of what is really important to express based on a long term perspective where you are thinking in terms of what will be important or significant in 5, 10 or 50 years. This is especially related to feelings of being upset which you may have in this moment. In most cases you will not even remember what the problem was in a day and certainly not in a week or month. The challenge is to figure out how you can be real and true to yourself in ways that are meaningful for the future at the same time that you are genuine in your expression of yourself in this moment.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
15 (1*) Free-flowing play and creativity
21 (1*) Restraint and Simplicity, Harmonious structure and discipline
The Dancing 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 a lot of days in a row and there are quick Moon patterns that just impact our mood for a couple of hours either side of their exact time. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
Aug. 25 – 27 (exact Aug. 26) Venus in Libra is actively interacting (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This interaction is growing in strength until it peaks tomorrow. It is about feelings of attraction to other people and to things being felt really intensely under this influence. You feel you must have more love and beauty in your life. This could relate to an eye-sore around your house that you just can’t stand any longer and you have to deal with this very moment. It could also be about strongly held feelings you have for another person that you find you are compelled to share with that person at this time.
Aug. 24 – 26 (exact Aug. 25) The Sun in Virgo is freely flowing (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This interaction is growing in strength until it peaks at 12:38PM then it slowly diminished in strength and influence. See the first entry in this Diary for a description of the vibration created by the Sun, Saturn and Uranus interacting with each other.
Aug. 24 – 26 (exact Aug. 25) The Sun in Virgo is freely flowing (trine) with Saturn in Capricorn. This interaction is growing in strength until it peaks at 6:07 PM then it starts to taper off. The interaction of these three celestial bodies together is the strongest vibrational influence at this time and it is described above as the first entry in this Diary.
Aug. 11 – 25 (exact Aug. 19) Jupiter in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibration is slowly decreasing in strength through Aug. 25 when it gets too weak for us to feel it. This is a magical focus on bringing your dreams into your life in a big way. Take some time today to tap into your dreams and find one thing that you can do today that will help bring your dreams into manifestation in your life. Be careful to keep straight what is real right now versus what you are dreaming about. It can be easy with this pattern to act out of a fantasy rather than from the reality of what is actually happening.
Aug. 1 – Sept. 21 (not exact) Saturn in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This pattern is very similar to the longer Uranus and Pluto pattern above. This vibration is both focused long-term on what really lasts and spontaneous and impulsive in the moment at the same time. Since these two needs are contradictory, you get things like suddenly eliminating things from your life that you don’t think are meaningful in the long run. It is important to find ways to honor both your long-term interests and the need to be spontaneous in the moment. Recognize that both these needs are important and that they are present at the same time and that you need to make space in your life for both. Especially provide periods of time when you can be spontaneous and you will handle this better.
July 2 – Oct. 19 (exact Sept. 26) Uranus in Taurus is quiet and focused (septile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This pattern is increasing in strength until Sept. 26 calling for focused or disciplined spontaneity. You may be feeling you are lacking spontaneity in your life and find yourself forcing yourself to be spontaneous. This is not easy and may generate some tension inside you. Any focused and spontaneous activity will help use and release this energy. Some examples are dance, group sports, tai chi, or martial arts. Also, a massage might help release built up tension.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that just impact our mood for a couple of hours either side of their exact time.}
The only mood influence today is that the Moon in Aquarius flows freely (trines) with Venus in Libra at around 12:39 AM. This is a very nice flow of love and good feelings that can be a special time to share with those you care about.
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.}
The first Quarter Moon was on August 18 and will be influencing us until the Full Moon on August 26. This is a time of evaluation of your current direction in your immediate life. Is there anything you could adjust and increase your effectiveness. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A rainbow” indicating that there is a door open through which you can walk and experience a new beginning. The Moon symbol is “Indians making camp” which focuses on operating in this new realm in ways that respect your rights and space as well as the rights and space of those around you. The vibe this week focuses on starting over with mutual respect for yourself and others.
The final chapter of this current Eclipse Cycle occurred with the Partial Solar Eclipse New Moon on August 11. 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.
The overview of the Current Eclipse Cycle of 3 Eclipses between July 12 and August 11. {We will be feeling the vibrational effect of the current eclipse cycle at least until the start of the next cycle on January 6, 2019. The following is the summary of the guidance from the Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}
Express your gifts as a natural outflow of who you are without feeling that you deserve special treatment. Your reactions to situations may come from problems in your past that have not been resolved with the current situation just being a trigger. You can receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and from your ancestors helping you tune into ancient wisdom and understand how it can be effective in addressing the problems you face today. This will allow you to relax into an easy flow of interaction with other people where you are accepting other people and they are accepting you. Open up to your higher universal awareness and connections and let it guide you.
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.
The Retrograde Diary
(Uranus) turning backwards, (Neptune, Pluto) in Retrograde, (Mars, Saturn) turning forward, (Mercury, Jupiter) in Final Resolution
{There are issues that each planet focuses on during the period leading up to its retrograde (apparent backwards movement) period. These issues are addressed again to be worked on during the retrograde period [in brackets] then a new understanding of these issues occurs during the post retrograde period.). This is not Vibrational Astrology, it 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.}
Mercury: {July 8 [July 26 – Aug 19] Sept 2, 2018}
Aug. 25 – 26: (14-15 Leo) Resolution: Remember to participate in a pageant where you are revealing yourself and all you are in joy and fun sharing with everyone around you, learning to stop putting yourself out in front of everyone claiming that you are the best in an exaggerated, unconvincing way stimulating disruptive behavior from those around you
Mars: {May 13 [June 27 – Aug 27] Oct. 8}
Aug. 19 – Sept. 4: (29-28 Cap) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to begin to read with great clarity the hidden level of reality as you put aside your skepticism and open to intuitive awareness, learning to stop superstitiously depending on signs around you and blindly following these signs not taking responsibility for your life or your decisions
Jupiter {Dec. 12, 2017 [Mar. 10 – July 10] Oct. 6}
Aug. 22 – 30: (16-17 Sco) Resolution: Remember to give birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being affirming your individuality, learning to stop feeling alone and abandoned being forced into an unwanted independence without support
Saturn {Jan. 10 [Apr. 17 – Sept. 6] Dec. 12}
Aug. 13 – Sept. 30: (3-2 Cap) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to open to new growth in areas where there has been misuse of authority, learning to stop refusing to grow and holding onto abusive patterns and misunderstandings
Uranus {Apr. 20 [Aug. 7 – Jan. 6, 2019] Apr. 23, 2019}
July 1 – Sept. 14: (2-3 Tau) Turning Back: The Issue is to move in a natural progression of steps, learning and growing and opening yourself to the experience of wonder and beauty, learning to stop getting fascinated by your vision and caught in that fantasy rather than doing the work to climb the steps and experience the reality
Neptune {Feb. 6 [June 18 – Nov. 25] Mar. 15, 2019}
Aug. 2 – Sept. 10: (16-15 Pis) Reworking: Working on being able to connect into the flow of spiritual inspiration within yourself being flexible and open to that which you have not previously known or experienced, learning to stop closing up and being caught in a cycle of negativity that limits your perceptions and shuts you off from others
Pluto {Dec. 31, 2017 [Apr. 22 – Sept. 30] Jan. 21, 2019}
July 13 – Aug. 29: (20-19 Cap) Reworking: Working on being able to be guided by hidden messages that may not be apparent to others that attune you to the spiritual realms, learning to stop fooling yourself and others as you rationalize your personal beliefs and attitudes as being divine messages that make you special and better than those around you
