The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
For the last seven days and today, Saturday (03/18/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Neptune (3*). The strongest vibration today is about your sense of yourself and what you need in interaction with others and what they need. There is a flow between yourself and others that is comfortable and soothing. This may make it harder to evaluate what is happening effectively. This energy is especially focused on ideas and a feeling of excitement and fascination and joy as you encounter new interesting ideas. There is the potential to tap into your unique way of understanding and expressing what is within you. This is combined with a need to communicate your ideas and learn from the ideas of others. You are reaching for experiences that are amazing, that feel magical and out of this world. (For VA Students: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
4 (1*) Motivation & Drive
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Neptune >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are connecting into the flow of spiritual inspiration moving through you and out into the world, being flexible and open to that which you have not previously known or experienced. You are recognizing the value of all levels of consciousness, seeking to serve and teach those who know less than you do in a gentle loving manner, recognizing that you’re learning from everything around you. You are getting rid of all that is not truly part of your essence as a deeply spiritually aligned and complete person, while recognizing the truth of other people, seeing who and what they are in the essence of their beings. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are closing up and being caught in a cycle of negativity that limits your perceptions and shuts you off from others. You are separating yourself from those who are perceived as having less status than you, acting like a spoiled brat and, perhaps, getting away with it, failing to take responsibility for yourself. You are refusing to look at distortions in your values and motives, clinging to rigid positions, deceiving, lying, and misleading those around you and being rejected.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}

On March 14, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Pisces. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on March 21. This Third Quarter Moon Vibrational energy is very interactive and active. There is a strong need to connect in with your dreams and do what you need to do to make them come true. This includes a desire to learn new things that will open doors for you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The purging of the priesthood” This involves getting rid of all that is not truly part of your essence as a deeply spiritually aligned and complete person, while recognizing the truth of other people and seeing who and what they are in the essence of their beings. It is important to seek to recognize distortions in your own values and motives and learn to be flexible and open. The Symbol for the Moon is “A chubby boy on a hobby horse” which encourages you to release excessive energy and resources that you have been holding on to so you can move into an open flow of give and take with everything around you.
On March 7, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Virgo is opposing the Sun in Pisces. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on March 21. This Full Moon vibrational energy is very much about being free and spontaneous in the moment. This is combined with a sense of restless dissatisfaction and the need to find new or different answers to your life problems that will work better for you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Easter promenade”. This is an opportunity to enter into a process of transformative rebirth, experiencing renewed faith in life that is triumphing over doubt, fear and loss. Make sure you’re not putting on a show, driven by a superficial craving for attention, pretending to joy while feeling lost and guilty and inadequate within yourself. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “A volcano in eruption”. Here there is an opportunity to release the pressure that has built up inside of you constructively in an explosion of ideas and insights or in an aware explosion of the hidden pain and anger within you that transforms and heals, bringing new potentials for growth. Try not to overreact in extreme ways, spewing out destructive poisonous behaviors with no concern for who or what may be damaged.
On February 20, the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Pisces joining with the Moon in Pisces. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on March 21. This vibrational energy involves a very intense push to express the things that are deep within you. There is a compelling need to grow and expand through taking action that will let you be true to yourself. You have a potential opportunity here to connect into the awareness inside you and take action based on it in the world. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A squirrel hiding from hunters”. This symbol is about sensing that there are difficult patterns within you that you do not know how to handle, protecting yourself from these patterns while you develop the strength and support system needed to face these potentially destructive patterns. Make sure you are not being so threatened by the issues within you that you feel unable to function frozen in the dark unwilling to accept any help or support.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy brings a sense of spontaneous joy on the surface. On a deeper level there is an awareness of the importance of community and concern for the places where community fails and people fall through the cracks. There seems to be a strong emphasis, this season, on finding ways to more effectively respond to those among us who are not being supported by community in a good way. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “A jockey”. It comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon and it means you are learning how to pace yourself and evaluate your situation then move forward quickly when the time is right, recognizing that the process is more important than the outcome. Try not to rush ahead without thought, getting carried away; seeking to win at all costs and finding that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period for Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Jupiter, 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!”}
