The Vibrational Astrology Diaryby Linda Berry
The Full Moon
Today (12/22/18) and tomorrow the strongest pattern comes from Venus joining with Uranus and Pluto (2*). The core of this pattern is a sense of restless dissatisfaction that is arising up in us spontaneously in unexpected ways. This will be a theme for several days. Today the focus is on what we are experiencing in our lives. What are you being attracted to? Today you may find spontaneous feelings of attraction to something you did not expect. This can be a joyful special experience or a problematic one. Either way it is likely to bring up very deep responses from your past and you may find that you are reacting to those past experiences rather than to what is actually happening around you.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
14 (2*) Silence, Internal focus shared with others
11 (2*) Dissatisfaction, Restless Seeking of something different
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}
Dec 20 – Dec 22 (exact Dec 21) Venus in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibration is decreasing in influence until it fades about 3 PM. This is about tuning into your dreams and visions for your life and involves a tendency to live more in what might be and what you would like to be than in what is right now. This may distort your judgment so this is not a good time to make long term commitments or contracts.
Dec 20 – Dec 22 (exact Dec 21) Mercury in Sagittarius is joining with Jupiter in Sagittarius. This vibration is decreasing in influence until it fades about 11 AM. It enables you to step back and look at the big picture. What is really happening and what are the implications of the actions you take? There is the potential here to expand your picture of your life and of what life is about and a potential desire to reach out into new realms that you may sense opening up to you during this time.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their listed time.}
Starting at 10:40 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:40 AM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Pisces. This vibration contains a lot of energy that can potentially become volatile. It is easy to lose your temper when the Moon is square Mars because you are very competitive and prone to defend your space. You can use this energy for a constructive purpose like cleaning out an area in your house or going for a walk or doing calisthenics and be aware that turning this energy on another person could get you in a lot of trouble.
Starting at 7:21 AM, peaking at 9:21 AM, the Moon in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Aries. This energy focus brings a lot of spontaneity and can be very enjoyable. You especially enjoy surprises or surprising someone else right now.
At 11:28 AM the Moon enters Cancer and shifts your emotional focus to close interactions with those that you consider to be family and to expanding your family group. You want to have harmonious interactions with those you love. The Full Moon is today at 12:48 PM. See the discussion of it in The Cyclic Patterns Diary below.
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.}
The Full Moon is today at 12:48 PM with the Sun in Capricorn opposing the Moon in Cancer. This occurs about 18 hours after the Winter Solstice with the Sun still in 0 degrees of Capricorn. Thus a lot of things are going to come to fullness and be revealed this winter. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Indian chief demanding recognition” which addresses whether you operate from a natural inner authority, or whether you have an overinflated view of yourself that demands recognition and lives in a world of power trips”. The symbol for the Moon is “A furled and unfurled flag displayed from a vessel”. This relates to making a commitment to a new orientation and giving up your old ways as you get in touch with who you are. The danger is that if you cannot tap into the deeper stability of your core self, you will be at the mercy of your moods constantly changing your allegiances and behaviors.
On Dec 21, 2018, the Sun entered Capricorn. This is the Winter Solstice and the official beginning of Winter. This pattern will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on Mar 20, 2019. The theme of the Winter is to step back and look at the big picture while working with others in shared interchanges. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “A large archaic volume”. This is about looking at ancient beliefs and patterns and evaluating their effectiveness and relevance for today. Then proceeding to change or release patterns that no longer work. It warns about the dangers getting caught in traditional patterns and viewing them as rules failing to understand their purpose in the past and how that may fit or not fit in today’s world.
The New Moon was on Dec 7 with the Sun and Moon joining in Sagittarius. This pattern will be influencing you until the next New Moon, a solar eclipse on Jan 5. The core energy in this New Moon and for this entire Lunar Month is a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction. Everything is out of balance and not at all like you have dreamed it would be. The challenge of this New Moon is shown in its Sabian symbol, “Sea gulls watching a ship”. This is about the give and take of life as you act to meet your needs but let go of the things you no longer need so that they can help others. It is important to go ahead and act as you need to and not get caught in an illusion of helplessness and dependency on others to meet your needs.
The overview of the Current Eclipse Cycle of 3 Eclipses between July 12 and August 11. {We will be feeling the vibrational effect of the current eclipse cycle at least until the start of the next cycle on January 5, 2019. The following is the summary of the guidance from the Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}
Express your gifts as a natural outflow of who you are without feeling that you deserve special treatment. Your reactions to situations may come from problems in your past that have not been resolved with the current situation just being a trigger. You can receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and from your ancestors helping you tune into ancient wisdom and understand how it can be effective in addressing the problems you face today. This will allow you to relax into an easy flow of interaction with other people where you are accepting other people and they are accepting you. Open up to your higher universal awareness and connections and let it guide you.

Turning Forward of Uranus, Neptune: Final Resolution of Mercury, 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.}
!!!Mercury: {Oct 28 [Nov 17 – Dec 6] Dec 24} 27 Scorpio – 13 Sagittarius
Dec. 22 – 23: (11-12 Sag) Resolution: Remember to move from established alliances into a new sense of spiritual connections that teaches you to celebrate the unique individual that you are, learning to stop using your power and prestige to loudly proclaim your aims and maneuvering or forcing others into accept your views to their detriment
Saturn {Jan. 10 [Apr. 17 – Sept. 6] Dec. 12} 2 – 9 Capricorn
Dec. 11 – 20: (9-10 Cap) Resolution: Remember to face your fears and move beyond superstition to recognize and embrace your common linkages with all creatures in the world, even embracing and nurturing those aspects of yourself that feel like burdens or curses, learning to reach out beyond yourself as you release your fear of getting close to that which is different from yourself as well as your fear of getting hurt through intimacy
