The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
At 11:35 PM EST the Full Moon occurs with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius.
Today, Saturday (12/18/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Saturn and Neptune (1*). Today’s vibrational pattern is very strongly oriented towards peaceful interactions with other people. There is a sense that communities need to support and take care of those who are suffering and lacking resources to care for themselves. This can involve a lot of hard work and it is based on a vision of the long term consequences of your actions. There is a focus today on the seeking of a spiritual path or a spiritual understanding of life and the relationship of each of us to life in general. This energy call you to do something for another, be kind to another, do something that acknowledges the essential humanness and worth of another person.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
27 (1*) Deep Need for peace in the community
16 (1*) Internally formulated Action
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Saturn, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are taking the time to explore new patterns and ways of operating, proceeding to learn new skills step by step, being open to help and guidance from others. You are quieting your mind and surroundings, opening up to interaction and communication with the sources of inspiration within and beyond you. You are recognizing the value of all levels of consciousness, seeking to serve and teach those who know less than you do in a gentle loving manner, recognizing that you’re learning from everything around you. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are relying on skills that you have not yet mastered, refusing help from others and falling flat on your face or pretending to less skill than you have in order to get sympathy and help from those around you. You are retreating from interaction with other people and blocking yourself off from contact with your own inner core, rejecting spiritual guidance being offered you. You are separating yourself from those who are perceived as having less status than you, acting like a spoiled brat and seeming to get away with it, failing to take responsibility for yourself.

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}
Dec 18 – Dec 20 (exact Dec 19) the Sun in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This vibe begins to influence us around 4 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7:31 PM on Dec 19 then decreasing fading out around Midnight on Dec 20. This vibration is about sharing with others socially and establishing new connections to others.
Dec 16 – Jan 1 (exact Dec 24) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:16 AM on Dec 24 then decreasing fading out around 4 AM on Jan 1. This is a major vibrational pattern that is occurring at this time for the third and final type in this cycle. It is about the need to operate your own way and not follow the crowd. It can involve rebellion and other disruptive behavior. It is extremely independent and not susceptible to influence.
Dec 8 – Dec 28 (exact Dec 11, 25) Venus in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is backing off from a conjunction for awhile and then it peaks again Dec 25 while Venus is retrograde, then it decreases fading out around 5 AM on Dec 28. This vibration is about intense compulsive feelings of attraction. This is especially strong as it goes on both before and during the Venus Retrograde. There is a sense of beauty that is so compelling, it is irresistible. Be aware that intense attractions you feel during this time and likely to fade after this pattern finished.
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quicker Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a short window of time around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 7:23 AM, peaking at 9:23 AM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a need to connect into your dreams and take action to make them more strongly a part of your life.
At 11:35 PM, the Moon in Gemini is opposing the Sun in Sagittarius. This is the Full Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 11:02 PM, peaking at 1:02 AM December 19, the Moon in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is expansive and optimistic. There is a tendency to over estimate one’s potential success with this pattern.
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.}
At 11:35 PM EST the Full Moon occurs with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 2, 2022. This vibrational pattern is aligned with the Saturn Uranus square that occurs on December 24. This means there is a strong pattern of forming your own structure for your life and operating out of it. There is the potential here to first analyze what needs to happen and then to use your intuition to figure out the answer you want to pursue. This vibration involve taking the risk to actually implement your plan even if others don’t agree with it. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Old Bridge over a Beautiful Stream” which is about you recognizing the true beauty deep within you, gradually exploring it and accepting that it may be very difficult to face and accept this beauty in the depths of your being. The Moon Symbol is “A Man declared Bankrupt”. This is about realizing that you have failed in the past to relate effectively and that now it is time to include others in the equation, and you get to start over again and maybe do it differently this time.
On December 4, a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This is the final event of this eclipse season. It will be influencing us at least until the start of the next Eclipse Season on April 30, 2022. There is a special emphasis in this Eclipse on evaluating the patterns we are living by. It is especially important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the ways that we have been understanding the world. There is a restlessness and a need to move out and find a different world that will work more effectively and be more satisfactory. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Widow’s Past brought to Light”. This is about facing your past actions, the destructiveness, and blindness that you have been involved in and taking responsibility for them. The emphasis is on working on the distorted patterns within you, making amends, and forgiving yourself and others so that you can make a new beginning.
On November 19, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus opposing the Sun 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 30, 2022. This Vibrational Pattern involves the Sun and Moon especially strongly interacting with Mercury. This shows that emotional patterns and history will be very important during this next 5 months. There is a focus on creating programs, concepts that are acceptable to everybody involved. There is also an awareness of the needs of people and how they are or are not being met. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The King of the Fairies approaching his Domain” which points to the importance of understanding your true essence, the domain within the core of your being where you’re truly and confidently in command of yourself. If you are not in touch with the core of your being you may try to use control to prove your superiority. The Moon Symbol is “A Woman pursued by Mature Romance”. This is about participating in a mature type of love that involves a greater awareness of your interconnectivity to others. There is a warning to not closing down to love because you are being guided by social expectations of what love means and what types of love are permissible.
The Fall Equinox occurred on September 22 as the Sun entered Libra with the Moon in Aries. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This vibrational pattern has a strong emphasis on the way the past is affecting us. There is the potential to get a broader understanding of how we are being influenced by the past and the potential for sudden insights and shifts to occur. There is a need to reconcile the past with the present and to face the way we have been being influenced by past patterns. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “The Gate to the Garden of Desire” which is about getting up the courage to move into a new state even though you don’t know what dangers and revelations you may have to face. There is a danger in withdrawing that you will never be able to reach your dreams.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Turning Back of Venus: Reworking of 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 “!”}
