The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (8/29/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon joining with Saturn and Pluto (2*). This vibration is about the emotional pain and restriction that people are feeling. There is a sense of loss of so much that has been important to us in ourselves, in our relationships and in our actions. It is as if only the things that are most important to us are being focused on in this time period, our families, our emotional sense of what is important. When we ask what will we care about in a year or two years, it isn’t the day to day deprevation, but that we survived this time and were transformed by a deeper awareness of what is truly important. This is combined with Moon, Venus Pluto (1*) which brings into focus those we care about the most and points to our devotion to these people with whom we have deep soul connections. If we can focus on gratitude for what we have each day it will help us get through this.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Saturn, and Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats. You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. . .
The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve. You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position. . .

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 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 first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
Aug 29 – Aug 31 (exact Aug 30) Venus in Cancer is opposing Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around Noon and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:30 AM on August 30 then decreasing fading out around 8 AM on August 31. This vibration brings an intense awareness of beauty and may include almost overwhelming attraction to the beauty that you are attracted to.
Aug 28 – Aug 29 (exact Aug 29) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:28 AM then decreasing fading out around 11 PM. This vibration is about stepping back and seeing the big picture getting a broad perspective on everything that is happening.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a
couple of hours either side of their peak time.}
Starting at 11:54 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:54 AM early today, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is focused on your feelings about your dreams and is more about what you wish the world was like than what it is really like right now.
Starting at 2:50 AM, peaking at 4:50 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is opposing Venus in Cancer. This 4 hr period brings a sense of emotional attraction and a need to interaction with others expressing this.
Starting at 5:12 AM, peaking at 7:12 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is an extremely deep feeling of connection into old patterns. Watch for them to surface within you so you can identify them and clear them out rather than expressing them inappropriately in current situations.
Starting at 11:18 AM, peaking at 1:18 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period analyzes what you are doing and the significance of your behaviors. It wants to discontinue any behaviors that are not of long term importance.
Starting at 1:31 PM, peaking at 3:31 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Aries. This 4 hr period is energetic and really needs to be expressing itself physically. If you are pursuing goals and get frustrated, you may find yourself wanting to express anger.
At 8:37 PM the Moon enters Aquarius and becomes focused for the next 2 ½ days on participating in group processes. We are all a part of many groups including our family, our friends, our community, our country and our world. The Moon in Aquarius finds satisfaction in being a part of its groups and contributing to the functioning and well being of those groups.
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 25, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Sagittarius. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on September 2. This vibration is extremely energized and is about thinking and evaluating what is happening within and around you. There is the potential here to penetrate the truths that are hidden below the surface. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Two Angels bringing protection” which is about opening up and tuning into an inner sense of guidance.” The Moon Symbols is “Two men playing chess”. This points to the importance of stepping back and seeing your actions objectively, cautiously implementing the next step in the process. There is a deeper truth and understanding that can be obtained this week if you are aware.
On August 18, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Cancer. This
Vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 17.
This vibration is about really thinking and evaluating what is going on inside you and around you. There is the potential here for a deep analysis that will recognize what things need to be laid aside in order for a rebirth or transformation to occur. If we move beyond our egos into a more universal spiritually based understanding then we will know what to do. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and the Moon is “Daybreak”. This is about experiencing the light of the divine beginning to shine through you, showing your true potential, replacing your ego as the source of yourself. This happens as you open your intuition and clearly see the pattern within you and around you.
The Eclipse Season was from June 4 through July 5 and the patterns of this season will be in effect at least until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. The Eclipses begin by helping us to recognize that there is something special within each of us and that it is important for each of us to communicate our ideas clearly recognizing that there is a give and take to life as we share with each other. It then reminded us that we need to be adaptable and realize that we are being called to a new orientation to life. Each of us need to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves to more effectively respond to the demands of ourselves and our world. We need to develop a bigger focus that encompasses all of the universe recognizing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves while at the same time being open to ancient truths that may contain wisdom that will help us to be more aware and more effective.
The Sun entered Cancer on June 20. This is the Summer Solstice, one of the 4 seasonal turning points for the year. This will be influencing us for 3 months until the Fall Equinox on September 22. This vibration is about working things through in your mind and then acting on what you figure out. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “Winter Frost in the Woods”. This is about each of us having all the excess trimmed away so that we can connect in with the bare essential structure within us and connect in with our innate strength. You deal with feelings of fear and loss by connecting into the core of yourself, the spiritual center of your being. This leads to you opening yourself up to the wonder and mystery of life and developing a greater awareness of your connection with others.
The Retrograde Diary: No DEGREE CHANGES today
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus: Reworking Patterns of Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Turning Forward of Jupiter.
{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.}
