The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry

Today, Saturday (5/10/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Mars (1*)This vibrational energy pattern is about relationships with other people in your community that you respect and look up to. This is a good time to interact with these people. There is a focus here on clear thinking and learning about the areas you are interested in. It is important to apply the things you are learning in the real world. (For VA Students: 18)

This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by stepping back and being objective figuring out what to do to and how to communicate to accomplish your goals. You need to listen inside yourself to what you feel needs to be done and appreciate the unique, individual skills and perspectives of everyone around you.

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
18 (1*) Interaction in Community with a strong need to focus on other community members
27 (1*) Deep Need to bring peace and healing for the problems in your community

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Mars >>

The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way throughYou are recognizing the messages pointing to your personal lessons, embracing your potential for growth, seeking to open to the evolving pattern of yourself. You are opening to the flow of nourishment and love coming to you in life in an unending stream; letting it flow through you to others.  You are beginning to interact in a new realm of expanded awareness, experiencing the rhythms and patterns within and around you and being protected by being willing to work within a limited defined part of this new realm in order to develop and integrate these new understandings effectively. 
The more dysfunctional expression of this message
You are closing yourself off and refusing to look at the message in front of your eyes. You are holding onto the nourishment and love you receive, refusing to share it with others; thus blocking the flow, preventing this necessary flow of nourishment and love from continuing to bring you what you need.  You are branching out too far, too quickly, without enough growth and integration within you; resulting in you feeling vulnerable, exposed, and unprotected without a sense of internal balance and security.

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}.

At 8:15 AM Mercury enters Taurus and for the next 15 days you feel more like you are working with the world around you with everything evolving in its own way.  There is a lot more patience here and a sense of life unfolding as it should with a sense that you and everything around you change in the ways that are natural and proper.
The only 2 planet pattern involves the Moon, See below.

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 12:17 AM, peaking at 2:17 AM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Gemini. In this 4 hr period there is a sense of emotional openness and expansion within you. This can feel either good or bad depending on what your general feeling at the time is but it will tend to be optimistic.

At 3:58 PM the Moon enters Scorpio For the next 2 ½ days the Moon in Scorpio can tend to get very emotionally intense.  The desire is to merge with the people you are involved with and with the projects you are working on.  This can be uncomfortable for those not used to it as you can feel like you are being swallowed up.  If it gets too much, just step back for a couple of minutes and take a breath, or even take a walk around the block to help you temporarily disconnect.

Starting at 3:15 PM, peaking at 5:15 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Mercury in Taurus. In this 4 hr period the emotions and moods will tend to influence the mind, as well as the mind having an impact on the mood and emotions.  They will tend to take turns being dominant.

Starting at 9:42 PM, peaking at 11:42 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period you may feel a need to act based on deep feelings within you that may come to the surface at this time.  Ask yourself whether you are responding to the past or the present. Try to not put ancient feelings on the people you are currently interacting with.

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 May 4, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on May 12, 2025.This vibrational energy pattern brings a seeking for answers that make sense on a deeper more spiritual level. Then there is a desire to act based on those understandings in ways that resonate with the people around you at the same time that you are accomplishing your goals. There is an exploration process involved at this time seeking to come to an understanding of the patterns you are experiencing both within and around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Man muffled up with a Rakish Silk Hat” which involves forming a working pattern for dealing with the world that enables you to function while you continue to learn about yourself and work on your deeper issues. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Pageant”.This shows you joining in a pageant where you can display yourself elaborately and flamboyantly, participating in the joy and fun of the process as you are sharing with everyone around you. It is important to be true to yourself in this process and not operate in exaggerated, unconvincing ways.

On April 27, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 26, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern has you doing what you decide to do internally with no regard for the opinions of others. This can be risky. There is a sense of compulsive action that drives you whether it makes sense or not. There is a possibility of moving beyond self driven action into a form of exploration and interaction with that which you are attracted to that lets go of the drive to accomplish something and instead, just explores for the sake of exploration. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Sleigh without Snow”. This is about being aware of the unfolding of future possibilities and developing the skills and tools needed to meet those possible future situations. The alternative is to accept your current limitations, get caught up in your frustrations and be unable to move beyond them.

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 20, the Spring Equinox occurred with the Sun entering Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern is focused on our dreams and whether we are seeing the potential for them to become a part of our everyday life. Part of this is tapping into ourselves and being clear what kinds of dreams are speaking to us. Then comes being willing to act on those dreams and express them. This means taking risks, putting yourself out there. Remember you cannot succeed without taking the risk of failing. Count each failure as a step toward success. The Sun-Moon angle for the Spring Equinox is the Sabian Symbol “A Woman and two Men on a bit of sunlit land facing south”. This is about learning to be flexible and open. There is the potential here to see clearly how you can make appropriate choices to act either in the realm of Spirit or the realm of Matter as appropriate. You may discover competing needs within you. If you disconnect from that which is around you and isolate yourself you may experience a devastating sense of estrangement.

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, 2025This 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: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Back of Pluto: Resolution of Venus, Uranus {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 “!!!”}
