The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry

Today, Saturday (12/23/2023),the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Uranus and Pluto (1*).  The strongest vibrational energy today is about reaching down inside yourself and connecting in with what is special and unique about you and your gifts. This also involves tuning into others and sensing and helping them to connect into the special gifts and unique awareness within them. The emphasis today is on an intense need for freedom to do what rises up within you that needs to be expressed. You will tend to set aside expectations and to act genuinely without worrying about the consequences. This lets you tune into aspects of yourself that you might not otherwise be able to contact. (For VA Students: 13, 26)

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
13 (5*) Internally focused on expressing your true self and moving Beyond Average or Mediocre
26 (3*) Moves Beyond Average or Mediocre in interactions with others

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Uranus, Pluto >>>

The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are 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. You are experiencing the movements and fluctuations of energy within you learning where the energy flows freely and where there is damage or blockage that interferes with the energy flow.  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 feeling obsessively afraid, damaged and totally vulnerable, without protection, having no place to run or hide. You are blocking off your awareness of energy patterns within you maintaining a sense of internal rigidity that enables you to ignore your internal issues.  You are failing to claim your true authority as you block yourself off from awareness of the deeper realities around you and within you.

2 Capricorn = Sun [Three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment]  You are 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 and/or you are feeling obsessively afraid, damaged and totally vulnerable, without protection, having no place to run or hide

20 Taurus = Uranus [Wind clouds and haste]  You are experiencing the movements and fluctuations of energy within you learning where the energy flows freely and where there is damage or blockage that interferes with the energy flow and/or you are blocking off your awareness of energy patterns within you maintaining a sense of internal rigidity that enables you to ignore your internal issues.

30 Capricorn = Pluto [A secret business conference]  You are reaching a level of expertise where you operate from true authority and are participating in and managing the world’s hidden realities and/or 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}

At 1:17 AM, Mercury reenters Sagittarius.  Mercury returns to Sagittarius for 14 days bringing exuberant feelings and a desire to explore your external world and your internal world.  This is a great time to explore someplace you have never been or to learn something new that you have been wondering about.

Dec 23 – Dec 25 (exact Dec 24) the Sun in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around Noon on Dec. 23 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:28 PM on Dec. 24 then decreasing fading out around 1 PM on Dec. 25. This vibrational energy pattern involves interacting with others harmoniously seeking to share on deep essential core levels. There is a sense of doing what needs to be done to respond appropriately in each situation.

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 6:33 AM, peaking at 8:33 AM, the Moon in Taurus is joining with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions may be scattered and moving quickly from one thing to another. There is the possibility of sudden insights but be sure you have something to write them down on as they will be hard to remember later.

Starting at 12:04 PM, peaking at 2:04 PM, the Moon in Taurus is opposing Venus in Scorpio. In this 4 hr period you are especially attracted to beauty that has a history to it. You also want to share with the people that you have a history with. You treasure deep soul connections that are built out of the history contained in the objects and people around you.

Starting at 4:12 PM, peaking at 6:12 PM, the Moon in Taurus 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 11:40 PM, peaking at 1:40 AM early December 24, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period deep feelings within you that you have buried could affect your mood.  Be aware that you may be reacting to the past rather than the present. Ask yourself if you have felt this way in the past and when and with whom.  Be prepared to walk away from a situation if you get triggered.

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 21 the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 19. This is the shortest day of the year. After the Winter Solstice the days start getting longer and by the Spring Equinox the temperature starts to catch up with the lengthening days. The Solstice brings a flow of unfolding energy that contains the potential for a rebirth in our understanding of both the past and the present. There is a sense of being called to walk in harmony with the people and the world around us as we tune into what is really fundamental and foundational. The Vibration between the Sun and the Moon gives us the Sabian Symbol of “A Case of Apoplexy”. Apoplexy is an old name for something like a stroke where you are temporarily unconscious from an overload in your system. This speaks to very contradictory feelings wanting to express but feeling anxious and fearing disapproval. This is about facing that which is within you that may be inhibiting your ability to truly express what you are. You are meant to shine as a reflection of the one light connecting into something beyond yourself.

On December 19, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Sagittarius. This vibrational energy pattern relates to your dreams and ideals and the process of making those dreams a real part of your life. At this time people are likely to be focused on their own experience and operate out of their own sense of what they need to do without regard to the ideas or opinions of others. This can make for some boundary breaking actions that can be quite unpredictable. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Fertile Garden under the Full Moon”. This brings a sense of fullness, completion and wholeness because you are tuning into the fertile potency within you. It is important to clear functioning to not operated from pride and possessiveness. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Man declared Bankrupt”. This is about being real with yourself about past failures that came as you only focused on yourself and shifting your life so that you include others in the equation.  This gives you an opportunity to start over again and operate responsibly.

On December 12 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 11, 2024. This vibrational energy is aware of the importance of balancing your needs against the needs of others especially when you are trying to accomplish a goal. Seeking to be aware of and relate to the patterns you see around you will help you work more effectively. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Flag that turns into an Eagle that crows”. This is about letting go of established alliances and moving into a new sense of spiritual connections that teaches you to celebrate your unique individuality. It is important to not use your power and influence to push views on others that would not be good for them.

On October 28 the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on Mar 25, 2024. This vibrational energy brings a deep desire to expand your emotional connections and to learn new and different things. There is an underlying whisper of dreams of beauty and exotic experiences. There may be some tendency to project your dreams into the world and not know what is real and what is not. There is a strong need to participate in a new and different worldview that will at least give the hope of involvement in a creative community. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Gold Rush” which can represent you going out into the rugged dangerous depths of yourself and seeking to break up the rigid structures within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. The Moon Symbols is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge”. Here is the opportunity to build a bridge that will cross the abyss and connect you to the next level of awareness. This is not something we can do by ourselves, but if you ask for help from spirit, you will receive it.

On October 14, 2023 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy is particularly oriented towards involvement in creative groups. There is a desire to explore without an agenda and see what wonders you can find. This involves a passion for learning and applying what you have learned. There is a desire to expand emotionally at a pace you can handle effectively. There is also a need to go out and act and express yourself, make your life happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Child giving Birds a Drink at a Fountain”. This is about drawing from the fountain of spiritual nourishment, replenishing yourself and generously sharing with those around you who are not able to obtain it for themselves.

The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury  >> Reworking of Mercury: Turning Forward of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Resolution 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 “!!!”}
