The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Saturday (7/26/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Neptune (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is about a sense of dissatisfaction with your life as it is now structured. You are seeking to make a shift and searching for an answer that will work better for you. This involves analyzing what is really important to you on a deep level. You are likely looking for something that is more in line with your ideals and dreams. For VA Students (11, 22)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by building a safe space where you and those you care about can be able to relax and truly be yourselves. This works better if you operate in a network where each of you is contributing your skills to make life better for all of you.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
6 (4*) Need for compatible interactions with others
11 (4*) Dissatisfaction, Restless Seeking for something better
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Neptune >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are branching out to explore broader patterns of interaction; resulting in an expansion of your awareness. You are using humor and the resulting objectivity to make a clear analysis of the world around you, moving beyond a subjective emotional viewpoint. You are moving back, contemplating all that you have experienced, getting it in perspective and, thus, increasing your understanding and finding guidance for future actions. You are connecting into your cultural inheritance letting it shape you, recognizing that this enables you to effectively express yourself within the context of the world around you.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in superficiality, appearances and social concerns, ignoring real and immediate issues. You are getting caught up in an artificial sense of pretension and reactiveness coming from taking yourself way too seriously. You are being caught up in memory and disconnected from current reality. You are getting swallowed up by your cultural pattern, becoming a caricature of your racial or cultural stereotypes.

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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
Jul 24 – Jul 26 (exact Jul 25) the Sun in Leo is opposing Pluto in Aquarius. This energy is decreasing fading out around 3 AM on Jul 26. This vibrational energy pattern brings an intense sense of responsibility. You are likely to feel more in touch with what you need to do today.
Jul 10 – Aug 12 (not exact) Saturn in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for the next month. This is about examining your area of interest or concern and figuring out what is the deep foundational truth that lies at the core of it.
Jun 29 – Oct 6 (not exact) Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for more than three months. Here we have a passion for new and exciting dreams and visions that will involve people forming broad networks of connection with each other. There is the potential here for the visions of one to inspire the many.
Jun 9 – Aug 23 (not exact) Saturn in Aries is joining with Neptune in Aries. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt a lot over this summer. Here we have the potential for new spiritual understandings to begin to emerge. This can also bring deception and fraud. Each person has to decide whether to be open to the amazing energies starting to reach into our consciousness or to be caught up in what they want to believe is true and deceiving themselves and others.
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 5:02 AM, peaking at 7:02 AM, the Moon in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Gemini. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, especially those with whom you feel a soul connection.
Starting at 4:19 PM, peaking at 6:19 PM, the Moon in Virgo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Gemini. In this 4 hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next moment and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”
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 July 24, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 23, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is focused on an intense need to flow with the people around you. There is a need to adjust your approach to more effectively communicate with those around you. There is a sharp contrast between responding impulsively and doing the responsible things that need to be done. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Woman having her hair bobbed”. This is about the importance of cutting back on the excesses of ego display and shifting to finding appropriate expressions of your innate sense of yourself. If you are seeking to create an illusion that will get you accepted by others, you will find that it does not hold and the results can be very difficult.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern lays out adjustments we are challenged to make in our lives as we each learn to tune into our own unique awareness of how life needs to be lived to work well for us and others. The first adjustment is to learn to take action based on our discrimination of truth vs deception. Secondly there is a challenge to learn when one must act and be willing to do that. Finally we are challenged to learn how to take really big actions that move us into a different level of interaction with the world around us. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon relationship at the Summer Solstice is “A Peacock parading on an Ancient Lawn” which is about each of us recognizing that there is an ancient foundational pattern in the core of each person’s being that is manifesting through you and that this foundational pattern supports the unfolding of the natural beauty and delightful rightness that you carry within you. This is your time to embrace and celebrate this pattern surging up through you.
On March 29, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of dissatisfaction and a restless searching that is reaching out to find something more satisfactory. There is a sense of connecting into another level of awareness that is idealistic and visionary. This awareness can either open you up to amazing deep spiritual truths or bring a sense of confusion and deceit and betrayal that needs to be penetrated to get to the truths underneath it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon Solar Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to Immediate Service”. This is about totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. Remaining focused at this time enables you to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On March 14, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern helps us connect into what we really feel deep inside of us. It encourages us to be true to those internal feelings. This can involve letting go of some emotional feelings that do not really serve us. There is a strong focus on working with others helping them to connect into the deep patterns within them that show who they really are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Inhabited Island” which is about you truly grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. Take care to not be putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you and focus only on yourself feeling alienated, deserted and alone. The Moon Symbol is “Mary and her little Lamb”, which is about loving yourself and those around you, operating based on love, kindness and friendship for mutual support, while maintaining your boundaries and your sense of self-integrity. There is a danger here of you or the other person becoming overly dependent on the other.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period for Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Back of Saturn, Neptune: Reworking 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!!!”}
