The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Saturday (8/06/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Jupiter and Pluto (1*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is involved with exploration and interaction with the world around you. There is a potential for new insights into life and the way the world operates resulting from your exploration. There may even be new creative insights. You are likely to find people who would like to play games or go investigate some trails in the local forest. The tendency today is to look at the broad picture seeking to get an overview of the areas you are interested in and want to explore. You may find a very strong need to go out and investigate your area of interest. There is something you may learn if you just go out and explore. (For VA Students: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25).

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are opening to the protection of the divine, being brought to you in both the conscious and unconscious aspects of yourself, finding yourself connected with an inner sense of guidance, with people appearing to help just when you need them. You are arriving at your destination point and you’re taking on the new form and patterns you’re going to energize. You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring a deeper level of spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are feeling lost and alone, without help, losing faith in the goodness of life and expecting that others will pick up the pieces without you putting forth any effort, or resisting help in order to hang onto your wounds. You are blocking your awareness of what needs to happen, refusing to accept the new forms and patterns being presented to you. 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.

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 6 – Aug 8 (exact Aug 7) Venus in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 6 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:43 PM on Aug 7 then decreasing fading out around 8 AM on Aug 8. This vibration brings a strong attraction to dreams and visions. There is a sense here that there is something larger than life, something amazing and magical that you can participate in and that this is what is desirable. Be aware that there may be a tendency here to disconnect with life and to operate out of a fantasy world especially while this vibrational pattern is expressed. This is a good vibration for artistic expression.
Aug 6 – Aug 9 (exact Aug 7) Mars in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe begins to influence us around 6 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:57 PM on Aug 7 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on Aug 9. This vibration brings a sense of the importance of taking action that addresses the essential fundamental realities of life. This involves the willingness to do the hard work necessary to make a difference in people’s lives. Seek to do the tasks that are necessary but often avoided. This vibration calls for these tasks to be completed and there may well be consequences if they are not addressed.
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 9:46 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:46 PM yesterday, the Moon in Scorpio is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is a time when you want to focus on what is really important in your life and take actions to support those things. This could involve thing like working on long-term projects or cleaning out the things that are not important. So this is a good time to clean up something that has been bothering you.
Starting at 10:56 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:56 AM early August 6, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Cancer. This 4 hr period brings a very nice flow of love and good feelings. This can be a special time to share with those you care about.

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.
Starting at 5:24 AM, peaking at 7:24 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period there is an easier connection into deeply buried feelings than at other times. There is an opportunity here to share these deep levels with your friends and to be open to them sharing their deep feelings with you. This exchange can sometimes have a healing quality and reduce the pain within you and your friends.
Starting at 6:18 PM, peaking at 8:18 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Virgo. This 4 hr period involves your emotions and moods stimulating your mind and results in you needing to balance your mind and emotions in order to act in clear constructive ways.

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 5, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Leo is and the Moon in Scorpio. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on Aug 11. This vibrational pattern starts with a sense of something special that we can tune into inside of ourselves. This is aided by the sensitivity people are likely to have to each other this week. There is the potential for deeply evaluating the stories of the people around you and being able to help them tune in more deeply into the special awareness and gifts that they have. There may be some sudden emotional experiences and insights. Be aware that people are likely to have a low frustration tolerance today. Be prepared to walk away if a situation looks like it will get volatile. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is “The Human Soul awaiting opportunity for Expression”. This is about opening up to the messages within you and around you, waiting until you know it is the right time for you to express yourself. The Symbol for the Moon is “Telephone Linemen at Work”. This brings the opportunity to establish new and more extensive connections between different aspects of yourself and the universal levels of awareness. Seek to be aware of where the spiritual communication is coming from and not get your personal desires mixed in and distorting the message.
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: None Turning back of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Reworking of Saturn: 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 “!”}
