The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Saturday (5/16/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Jupiter and Pluto (1*). This vibration is about an expansive flow of energy that is shared with others. There is a tremendous need here to expand beyond your current boundaries. You want to be bigger, have a greater reach, do it bigger and better. This can go over the top where things get so big and unwieldy that they are no longer manageable. Fortunately, right there with the Sun, Jupiter, Pluto pattern is Jupiter, Saturn Pluto (1*) which understands the importance of moving one step at a time and adapting to each little piece of expansion before making the next step. Being able to temper that extreme push to grow with some adjustment and adaptation and moving at a slower pace will enable you to be much more successful and effective.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets
Today’s Symbols start with learning to work in cooperation with others in order to tame buried, hidden chaos, finding that you are being offered genuine, precious products and opportunities if you are willing to pay the price for them. This is related to your opening up to the awareness of your connections to others enabling you to reach a deeper level of spiritual awareness where you can recognize the messages coming to you from all around you sorting the true messages out and being able to embrace 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}
May 16 – May 18 (exact May 17) the Sun in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 1 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:40 PM on May 17 then decreasing fading out around 1 PM on May 18. This vibration picks up right after the Sun passes Pluto, so we get to go deep and concentrate and then we get to expand as a result of that deep intense work. This is about growing in an organic way into an objective perspective that enables effective growth and expansion.
May 15 – May 16 (exact May 15) the Sun in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 3 AM. This vibration is about intensely concentrated focused energy. You are likely to be concentrating on projects that are very important to you and to get totally absorbed in them to the exclusion of everything else. Remember everyone else will be tending to do the same thing, so give each other space.
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 12:34 PM, peaking at 2:34 PM, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period takes us into our dreams and visions, that other world that is not yet manifest around us. This may be a time for daydreaming. This is a time when you can get a better handle on your dreams and perhaps see how you could move them more into the every day world we operate in.
Starting at 2:35 PM, peaking at 4:35 PM, the Moon in Pisces is acting and agitating (square) with Venus in Gemini. This 4 hr period is about emotional feelings that may be interfering with your ability to attract what you need to you. Dealing with these emotional blockages or issues can open you up to a greater harmony with the world around you where it just gives you what you need when you need it.
Starting at 9:15 PM, peaking at 11:15 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period gives you the opportunity to go down inside and become more aware of old patterns that are influencing your current behavior and reactions. Some of these may be good patterns that benefit you. Others are interfering with effective reactions in the present to real world events. You can work on changing the problematic ones during this time period.
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.}
The Third Quarter Moon was on May 14 with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Aquarius. This pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 22. This vibrational pattern is about creative action based on things you are working on inside yourself with you being able to manifest in a smooth easy way the things you are working on. There is a strong sense of the importance of growing and expanding. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A large well kept public park” which emphasizes the importance of working in cooperation with others to order and organize the wilderness forming an orderly space that everyone can safely share. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed.” This points to the importance of transforming your assertive impulses and placing them at the service of a greater awareness. It calls you to keep your emotions in balance and be guided by a deeper intuitive awareness.
On May 7 the Full Moon occurs with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This will be influencing us for the next two weeks until the New Moon on May 22 This vibration has a focus on using your mind and shows some possibility for unexpected things to happen. There is a strong desire for pleasant harmonious interactions with others and the ability for things to just flow together and manifest. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman holding a bag out of a window” which is about exposing yourself to the divine spirit and opening to it cleansing your psyche. The Moon Symbol is “A woods rich in autumn coloring”. This has to do with getting in touch with the flame of spirit within you and letting it shine unclouded and clear. There are warning here about dysfunctional behavior if you hold onto the blocked, destructive patterns within you and refuse to let them go. This can result in you losing things that are important and significant in your life.
The New Moon was on April 22 with the Sun and the Moon in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us for a month until the next New Moon on May 22. This vibration is very impulsive and electric, seeking to shift and reorganize the foundation on which we build our lives. Things may feel unstable this month. There is a desire to find or discover something unique or special, perhaps a special understanding of your current life experiences and to share that discovery with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and the Moon is “The rainbow’s pot of gold”. This encourages us to open up and reach out to embrace that which is calling you, perhaps a spiritual vision and to follow the path of greater awareness. There is a warning that personal addictions and self-centered preoccupation could close you off and block your personal growth and expansion.
The Spring Equinox was on March 19 at 11:45 PM. This is the official beginning of Spring, the time when the Sun enters Aries. There is a sense of restlessness in this vibration as if what you are experiencing is not enough and there is something more that you can almost sense that is happening on some other level. This is almost a sense of something spiritual that you are seeking to identify. There are two symbols that are relevant to the Spring Equinox. The first is the Moon Symbol, “A train entering a tunnel” which gives you a shortcut through the obstacles around you by going through a dark tunnel. I think this describes where we all are right now. The second symbol is for Saturn, “A secret business conference”. This is about tuning into a deeper level of what is happening in this time period, opening up to what is really going on beyond the appearances. This is about tuning into the hidden realities of the world. Having these symbols on the Spring Equinox indicates the potential for a break through during the Spring where we can more clearly see what is going on.
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 Retrograde Diary:
Introductory Contact for Uranus: Turning Backward of Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Final Resolution of 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.}
