The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (12/24/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Moon joining with Mercury and Venus (1*). This vibrational energy is very fundamental it relates to our sense of our own inner compass and direction, how we relate to others and the flow of energy we experience within us. There is a sense here of the past coming into the present in beautiful ways. This includes a treasuring of traditions and rituals that come from the past with all of this put together in beautiful ways. This is a very lovely energy at this time. It is combined with a sense of connecting into the big picture in spontaneous ways. This is likely to bring insights into the motives we have for what we are doing. It can give us insight into better developing our plans for how we want our life to go in the future. (For VA Students: 1, 2, 3 || 16, 32)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
1 (4*) Doing things your own way, evaluating the ideas of others and only changing if you agree with them

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Mercury, Venus >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are finding that working in coordination with others is the most effective way to succeed even in situations where you must fight to defend your home and your values. You are opening up to the possibility of a different type of life where abundance is flowing into and through you. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are continuing to seek to control others from a position of superiority and failing, finding that the load is too great to carry all by yourself. You are getting overloaded by all the expectations for yourself that you and others have.

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}
Dec 23 – Dec 26 (exact Dec 24) Mercury in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:17 PM, then decreasing and fading out around 4 PM on Dec. 26. This vibration is about the mind focused on an objective overview of the dreams, ideals, visions and perhaps fantasies that you have about life and how you would like it to be. You are likely to be sharing your dreams with others and perhaps working together to make your dreams come true. This may bring some insights that will help you refine your dreams more and bring them more in align with what you really want from your life. This is a pleasant energy, however, you are not fully in touch with current realities for these days, so be careful about making any major decisions or changes.
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 1:02 AM, peaking at 3:02 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in an organic way based on a sense of objective awareness.
Starting at 5:16 AM, peaking at 7:16 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Venus in Capricorn. This 4 hr period should bring some really good feelings and a focus on loving caring relationships as you observe your relationships and recognize how important they are to you and what is working well. You may seek to modify patterns that are not working well for you.
Starting at 12:32 PM, peaking at 2:32 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Mercury in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period, the emotions and moods and mental patterns are working together. This is a time when you are very effective in doing projects.
Starting at 12:48 PM, peaking at 2:48 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period could bring a distracted dreamy feeling when you are not really sharply focused. Instead you may find yourself day-dreaming about what you would like your life to be like. This is a good time to dream, but not a good time to act on those dreams. Wait until you are thinking more clearly.
Starting at 8:11 PM, peaking at 10:11 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is likely to bring some deep intense emotional feelings with perhaps an awareness of older patterns that are influencing your reactions right now.
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 December 23rd, the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Capricorn conjunct with the Moon in Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 21. This vibrational energy treasures old patterns and traditions and is devoted to the mother. There is a flow of analysis in this pattern that just deepens it and helps us all appreciate the essentials that are present. This is about sharing community energy together in a loving way. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment”. This symbol is about repairing the damage done to love and beauty by aggressive violence, healing the deep wounds and blockages within you, gaining the strength and openness to accept love within yourself and give it to others. If you’re unable to tap into this energy, you may start feeling obsessively afraid, damaged and totally vulnerable, without protection, having no place to run or hide.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy brings a sense of spontaneous joy on the surface. On a deeper level there is an awareness of the importance of community and concern for the places where community fails and people fall through the cracks. There seems to be a strong emphasis, this season, on finding ways to more effectively respond to those among us who are not being supported by community in a good way. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “A jockey”. It comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon and it means you are learning how to pace yourself and evaluate your situation then move forward quickly when the time is right, recognizing that the process is more important than the outcome. Try not to rush ahead without thought, getting carried away; seeking to win at all costs and finding that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon 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 April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Contact for Mercury: Reworking of Mars, Uranus: Turning forward of Neptune: Resolution of Jupiter, 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 “!”}
