The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

Today, Saturday (2/29/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter joining with Saturn and Pluto (0*). This vibration is very focused on using your own learning and your own awareness within you as your frame of reference.  In your own way you are going to be working today on growth of your understanding and awareness coming from within you, from your own experiences.  This is about an intense personal need for controlled, reasonable, sensible levels of growth, that allow you to expand but where you know when you have gone as far as you can handle.  This is definitely a day when it would be good to spend some time by yourself tuning into your internal experiences.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets
Today the featured planets are three underlying symbols of great impact this year.
Today’s theme combines these three symbols.  This theme is about making a deeper connection to the stability that underlies reality as you perceive more of the fundamental truths that support this realm of time and space.  You are learning the many genuine, precious, beautiful and useful things that there are within this realm. This enables you to continue in the pursuit of your life’s work despite obstacles and defeats.

25 Capricorn = Jupiter, Pluto
An oriental-rug dealer
You are displaying genuine, precious, beautiful, and useful products and gifts, offering them to others at a fair price and/or you are misrepresenting the value and significance of your products and gifts seeking to gain an advantage or take advantage of others
1 Aquarius = Jupiter, Saturn
An old adobe mission
You are studying the shells remaining of ancient spiritual truths, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth and/or you are dogmatically pushing your beliefs on others, believing that you know the one and only true way, seeking to force other people to follow your beliefs
23 Capricorn = Saturn, Pluto
Two awards for bravery in war
You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats and/or you are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
{These are modes of operation that are especially available for you to tap into today}
1 (1*) Doing things your own way, evaluating the ideas of others and only changing if you agree with them.

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}

Feb 28 – Feb 29 (exact Feb 28) Mercury in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 10 PM. This vibration is about your mind moving very quickly and you responding to situations very quickly.  There is a sense here of spontaneousness and even impulsiveness.  You may find your mind tends to be more scattered than usual.

Feb 27 – Feb 29 (exact Feb 28) Venus in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 3 PM. This vibration is very concerned about proportion and balance, recognizing that everyone is important.  There is a tendency here to act in your own way and not be influenced by the crowd.

The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a
couple of hours either side of their peak time.}

Starting at 8:40 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:40 PM yesterday, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Pisces. This 4 hr period is a time of emotional balance.  This is a great time to spend sharing with friends or working with others to accomplish a common goal.

Starting at 12:50 PM, peaking at 2:50 PM, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is about your dreams and sharing your dreams with others and having them share their dreams with you. This is a time for gathering together with others.
Starting at 3:41 PM, peaking at 5:41 PM, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is expansive and optimistic.  Enjoy sharing this time with friends and families.  This vibe really likes to be social.  In terms of concrete plans this is a time when you tend to be overly optimistic.

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 February 23, the Moon and Sun joined together for the New Moon in Pisces. This vibration will be affecting us until the next New Moon on March 24.  This New Moon is especially oriented toward a sense of something special that you can share with others.  There is a push for controlled growth that is based on a solid foundation. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Church Bazaar” which focuses on working together to provide the resources we all need to make our lives work well, each making available what they can let go of sharing it with others.  There is a recognition here of your worth and value and the value of all those around you.

This Eclipse Season was from December 26 through January 10.  This vibrational pattern will be in effect until June 5, 2020. This is about mobilizing the resources of yourself and your group to stand up for your principles and being willing to deal with or use focused assertive/aggressive energy if necessary to reach your goal.  There is a warning that if you engage in threats and arguments and bickering, it will keep you from reaching your goals. There is a strong emphasis on mental evaluation and analysis of the long-term consequences of the actions we are taking right now. Remember that it is important to ally yourself with others in order to accomplish our goals.  That you will likely be defeated it you refuse to work with other people being unable to trust anything beyond yourself. It is important to operate on a positive level involves unselfconsciously displaying yourself expressing your gifts with humility and delight.  The challenge is to not come from a place of entitlement and self inflation.

The Winter Solstice was on December 21 as the Sun entered Capricorn.  This is the shortest day and longest night of the year as the Sun turns in its orbit to start increasing its light shining upon us. This winter season brings a great potential for creativity and sensitivity.  There is also a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction with what is happening in your life and around you.  The challenge is to use your creativity to make your world and your life better. You are encouraged this winter to open up to your ties to the universal awareness that is at the heart of all things and experience an exaltation and consummation that transcends ambition letting of your focus on yourself that brings a tendency to overestimate your personal powers and abilities resulting in damage to yourself. For the winter there is a focus on the Sabian Symbol “Dental Work” which can help you to return your structure to its proper functional form as you rebuild your internal pattern.

The Retrograde Diary: Check out changes today: DEGREE CHANGES: Mercury
Introductory Contact for Jupiter, Saturn: Turning Backward of Pluto: Reworking Patterns of Mercury: Final Resolution of Uranus, Neptune
{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.}
