The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Saturday (8/3/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Pluto (0*). There are no vibrational energies strong enough to be a focus for the energy today. Instead there are two clusters of energy and you will tend to be attracted to the one that you resonate with the most. The largest energy concentration is in the featured vibration Sun, Saturn, Pluto which is involved in a flowing interacting with and exploring of the world around us seeking to find the true essence and fundamental energies of that which we are exploring. The second vibrational energy that is an influence today is Venus, Mars, Saturn. This energy is focused in community seeking direct involvement bringing essential fundamental beauty to the community. (For VA Students: 15, 30 || 9)
This current vibrational energy pattern is best expressed by recognizing the connections between things that do not seem to be connected. There is a sense of restlessness and movement that is reaching out into far places seeking to move beyond the everyday reality.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
19 (0*) Internal Pattern recognition and analysis of conceptual frameworks which is then shared with others
29 (0*) Involvement in other world views, seeking ways to rebalance the stresses in the social order in an incremental manner.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Sun, Saturn, Pluto >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are moving back, contemplating all that you have experienced, getting it in perspective and, thus, increasing your understanding and finding guidance for future actions. You are experiencing a greater reality that encompasses everything, passionately sharing this inspiring vision with others. You are reaching a level of expertise where you operate from true authority and are participating in and managing the world’s hidden realities.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being caught up in memory and disconnected from current reality. You are manipulating and exploiting those around you claiming that you have all the answers and that you should be deferred to. You are failing to claim your true authority as you block yourself off from awareness of the deeper realities around you and within 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 of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Aug 1 – Aug 3 (exact Aug 2) Venus in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 5 AM on Aug. 3. This vibrational energy pattern involves intense feelings of attraction that come over you in the moment and a strong desire to take action on those attractions. This can be an attraction to something that is beautiful to you, a natural space, a person, an art object, etc. Be aware that these feelings are likely going to shift in a couple of days. So wait until the transit is over to see if you still feel the same way, before you take any life changing actions.
Jul 30 – Aug 8 (exact Aug 7) Mercury in Virgo is joining with Venus in Virgo. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:13 PM on Aug. 7 then decreasing fading out around 3 PM on Aug. 8. This vibrational energy pattern brings the ability to communicate in beautiful ways. Words just go together well and you will find that when you are speaking you are able to express yourself beautifully and poetically.
Jul 28 – Sep 4 (closest Aug 16), Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. This planetary interaction begins at around 3 AM on Jul 28. It does not get exact but the closest position is on August 16. This vibe is then decreasing fading out around 11AM on Sept 4. This vibrational energy pattern brings a surge of focus on your dreams and your passionate need to pursue your dreams
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 11:17 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:17 AM early Aug. 3, the Moon in Cancer 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.
Starting at 4:31 AM, peaking at 6:31 AM, the Moon in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams, they are living inside you and you are feeling them. You may find yourself daydreaming more than usual. You can use this time to get deeply in touch with your dreams and draw inspiration from them to help you make them more real.
At 7:09 AM the Moon enters Leo and for 2 ½ days it brings a feeling of wanting to develop and express yourself as a unique individual in a broad sweeping dramatic fashion. You will also enjoy the unique individual expressions of others around you.
Starting at 6:18 AM, peaking at 8:18 AM, the Moon in Leo is opposing Pluto in
Aquarius. In this 4 hr period you may connect into deep, even ancient feelings, within you if something another person does triggers you. Be aware of this potential and if it happens study what comes up and work on releasing it. If you respond directly to the other person, you are likely to over-react. This can be a powerful wave of energy that washes over you. You may need to walk away from the situation to keep from dumping this old energy on another person.
Starting at 11:54 PM, peaking at 1:54 AM early August 4, the Moon in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Gemini. 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 July 27, the Third Quarter Moon phase began with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 4, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on working inside of yourself to connect in with the deeper spiritual essence of yourself, the real deep authentic core of your being. This involveawwawaws your emotions becoming a part of what supports your deeper essence rather than having excessive emotional reactions be a barrier to a deeper connection with yourself. You are learning to face and release old wounds and hurts so you can connect more truly into yourself. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An old-fashioned Woman and an up-to-date Girl”. This symbol shows that finding the most effective and wisest course of action involves having the flexibility to balance tried and true patterns with new, innovative patterns. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which represents doing the difficult work involved in connection into the next level of awareness.
On July 21, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 4, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a gathering of complex energy patterns tied to our emotional feelings and our passions. There is a focus on following your dreams. This calls us to tune into ourselves and understand better what our dreams are. Then we need to interact with the world and see how we can reorganize our experiences to more closely reflect our dreams. There is a sense here of an organic flow of energy rising up out of us and interacting with the world. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Daughter of the American Revolution”. This is about recognizing that you have a heritage that is fraught with problems and issues. This heritage has been seeking to control and limit you and your are seeking to free yourself from these forces so you can freely express who you truly are. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Secret Business Conference”. Here you are tuning into the true authority you carry within you and accepting your mandate to participate in the managing of the world’s hidden realities.
On July 5, the New Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 4, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a subtle emphasis on tapping into the essence and foundation of the areas you are working in. The importance of accomplishing your goals in a way where you are taking into account the needs of the other people involved is highlighted. There is a potential for creative development of better patterns of operation in your communities as you seek to address the areas in your community where people are falling through the cracks. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A group of people who have overeaten and enjoyed it”. This is a reminder of the importance of working carefully and systematically in a group to test out new experiences and interactions taking one step at a time. The warning to to only move as fast as you can process your new awareness. You may have problems if you take on too much too quickly.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a potential for rebirth of the experience of beauty in our everyday life. There is a challenge to adjust and rebirth our dreams and visions. There is a strong sense of smooth flowing development and refinement of the inner self. This is a time to interact and explore on a deep inner level. This gives the potential for new patterns to form organically within you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon distance is “An Orangutan” which points to each of us sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within us. We are recognizing the need to refine and guide these forces into more mature expression. There is the possibility of distortion if you take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people.
On April 8, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings us into connection with each other. We understand more and more how the life experiences of others impact our own life experiences. There is a call to support others where they need support as we also respect the importance of each person fashioning their own life pattern. There is a challenge here to learn to work together harmoniously while still respecting each person’s individual experiences and understandings. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter”. Here we are making a tentative connection into and expressing the nurturing love that is the core of this realm of manifestation. This love is always there in the depths, if we will allow ourselves to connect into it, no matter what our situation. There is a warning here about trying to manipulate others by controlling what they need that they do not have access to on their own.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind people’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period for Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Back of Mercury, Neptune: Reworking of Saturn, 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 “!!!”}
