The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (1/23/21) the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Neptune (3*). This vibration is about the dreams that last past death, the patterns and traditions that support and sustain life on a long term basis. It also relates to the deeper non material visions and energies that underlie our experience of life here on earth. This is about having to take the actions that will be meaningful on a long term basis. This vibration encourages you to take some time today to tune into a deeper level or layer of life where you can sense an eternal foundation for our experiences here. This is combined with Sun, Jupiter, Saturn which helps us to grow at a sustainable pace, step-by-step, expanding our awareness and our ability to relate to each other. Saturn is at the foundation of all these strong patterns today and he reminds us that we need to evaluate the meaning and significance of our actions and to develop long term plans and patterns building a world that will last past our death.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Saturn, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are growing into connection with the divine energy of light and love, healing the damage within you and others that is the result of following distorted external patterns, becoming an experienced healer. You are participating in the transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom, recognizing that the knowledge needs to be separated from the person who is providing it. You are receiving guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and the ancestors, evaluating which parts of the ancient wisdom are effective in addressing the problems of today. You are preparing yourself by opening up in gratitude, giving thanks for what you have and trusting that you will receive whatever you need from the abundance of life. The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are making false claims of abilities and powers that you do not possess, seeking to manipulate others into believing your claims. You are claiming superior status and privileges based on your position and dogmatically insisting on your superior authority and achievements. You are being caught up in tradition, limited and bound by the patterns of the past and the approval of the elders, seeking to validate what you’re doing and prove to yourself that you have worth. You are constantly demanding and devouring everything around you, arguing, overindulging and not appreciating what you have received.

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}
Jan 22 – Jan 25 (exact Jan 23) the Sun in Aquarius is joining with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:01 PM then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on January 25. This vibration is evaluating the long term significance of your current behavior patterns and can bring an awareness of things you would like to change and the support needed to make the changes.
Jan 22 – Jan 24 (exact Jan 23) Venus in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:49 PM then decreasing fading out around 10 AM on January 24. This vibration is focused on beauty as an ideal. This is a romantic vibration and gives an opportunity to share something really special with your significant other.
Jan 19 – Jan 26 (exact Jan 23) Mars in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:49 AM then decreasing fading out around 4 PM on January 26. This vibration is acting in big ways, determined to expand and grow. There may be the potential to expand beyond effective boundaries getting so big you become non functional.
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.}
At 2:43 AM the Moon enters Gemini bringing 2 ½ days where your mood may be light hearted and you may just feel like exploring your world especially in combination with spending time with friends. This is a wonderful time to stop and smell the roses or walk down the main drag in your town go into some of the shops you have never been in to just learn what they are doing. You may discover something really exciting.
Starting at 8:27 AM, peaking at 10:27 AM, the Moon in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with the Sun in Aquarius. This 4 hr period brings emotional balance and flow. This is a good time to interact with others and work on any kind of project.
Starting at 9:19 AM, peaking at 11:19 AM, the Moon in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is about evaluating your behaviors and focusing on the behaviors that serve your long term goals.
Starting at 5:03 PM, peaking at 7:03 PM, the Moon in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is expansive and optimistic. This is a good time for social interactions.
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 January 20 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Taurus. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on January 28. This quarter Moon has a lot of volatile energy connected with it which brings a potential for violence. There is however a modulating factor that many many people are seeking and needing peace and love and caring where we all support each other. This brings the potential for things to go either way. Spiritual Inspiring Visionary communication will help to bring this into a more peaceful loving expression. I’m going to list the two Sabian Symbols for this quarter moon in full here.
| 2 Aquarius = Sun [An unexpected thunderstorm] You are experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality and/or you are losing control and exploding emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself |
| 2 Taurus = Moon [An electrical storm] You are being struck with inspiration, like a lightning bolt, charging, challenging and perhaps shocking you into greater awareness, breaking through your barriers and/or you are holding tightly to your barriers, building stronger, thicker walls within you as you futilely seek to protect yourself from the shock of greater awareness |
We are being challenged here to open up to the new awarenesses illuminating our minds and hearts and face ourselves and our internal patterns each of us that need to be faced and transformed in order to move into a more loving world.
On January 13, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Capricorn. This energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 11. This vibration is focused in each person in their own evaluation of what is happening in the world around them. Each person is especially prone to act out of their internal sense of reference and ideas about themselves, the world, and life in general. This is a time when people are not open to the ideas of those around them and are unlikely to be influenced by others. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Woman entering a Convent”. This speaks to letting go of your own personal needs in order to be of service to others seeking a deeper, and more effective connection to the universal spirit of life. Take care not to neglect yourself and hide away so others will feel sorry for you.
On December 21 the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This sets the pattern for the next three months. And with the Jupiter Saturn conjunction today this sets the patterns for the next 20 years. There is a potential here for a new pattern to form that brings a sense of hope that we haven’t felt in a while. This involves facing the ways we act out of the darkness within us in confusion and pain and letting a new sense of light come in to clear out the pain and bring new life. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun at every Winter Solstice is “An Indian Chief demanding Recognition” which points to the importance of each of us connecting in with a sense of inner security that brings us into our inner authority which lets us listen comfortably to others and give way when appropriate. This is combined with the Moon Symbol “An Inhabited Island” which helps us to connect deeply into ourselves this winter and recognize our own boundaries as we learn to balance our needs against the needs of those around us.
This current Eclipse season ended on December 14, 2020 and the next eclipse season will begin on May 26, 2021. The current eclipse season will be influencing us until the next one begins. The current eclipse cycle involved a push for action based on feelings of dissatisfaction. This is combined with an awareness of the importance of being true to ourselves and that our true self is tuned into a greater reality of which we are a part, something greater than ourselves that we participate in. This is a call to open up to that greater reality, become one with it and be transformed by this experience.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES: Mercury
Introductory contact for Mercury, Pluto, Turning Forward Uranus: Resolution of Neptune, 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 “!”}
