The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Saturday (5/18/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus and Mars joining with Uranus (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is about your connections to your communities and whether those communities are really meeting your needs. If the communities you are in are not meeting your needs then this is the time to look for other communities and groups that will operate in the ways you need them to operate. Additionally you may find some people in your communities that you need to relate to, people you will resonate with and learn from. This is an important time to interact with these special people. Watch for opportunities that may come up on the spur of the moment. If you can seize the opportunities that are presented to you, you may be able to make some beneficial changes in your life. This is a time when you need to have direct hands on involvement in your community. (For VA Students: 9, 18, 27)
An Effective Response to this current vibrational energy pattern involves being flexible and being able to shift your structure and your mode of operation as the situation calls for different types of responses. Recognize that you need to be true to yourself and create a space where you can act naturally without demands that you conform to the expectations of others.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
1 (6*) Doing things your own way, evaluating the ideas of others and only changing if you agree with them
18 (4*) Interaction in Community with a strong need to focus on other community members
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Mars, Uranus >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing your failures and the damage your blindness has done to others, facing it in this current moment; accepting responsibility for the damage you have done and seeking to make amends. You are experiencing a vague sense of awareness that when you open up to the energy flows you can connect into the broader awareness provided by spirit.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in your sense of pride and aggressively claiming what you desire without any concern for the effect your behavior has on others. You are getting caught up in transient desires and lower impulses which take control of your life.

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 of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
May 18 – May 20 (exact May 19) the Sun in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 6 PM on May 18 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:45 PM on May 19 then decreasing fading out around 8 PM on May 20. This vibrational energy pattern is about sharing your dreams with others in a harmonious way. This is an important time to see if others share your dreams and to see if you can work on making them happen together.
May 17 – May 19 (exact May 18) the Sun in Taurus is joining with Jupiter in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:45 PM on May 18 then decreasing fading out around 12 AM on May 20. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of expansion combined with developing in your own way on your own time frame. There is a sense here of organic growth like plants grow.
May 17 – May 19 (exact May 18) Venus in Taurus is joining with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7:40 AM on May 18 then decreasing fading out around 4 AM on May 19. This vibrational energy pattern brings spontaneous feelings of beauty. In some cases this may involve falling in love, however, the feeling will likely fade out after the aspect fades away.
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 11:53 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:53 AM early May 19, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with the Sun in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your mood and emotional feelings are likely to be balanced and soft and you are just more likely to feel in harmony with yourself. This is a good time to engage in projects you need to do.
Starting at 12:42 AM, peaking at 2:42 AM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Taurus. 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.
Starting at 3:08 AM, peaking at 5:08 AM, the Moon in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a feeling of dreaminess and vagueness as you are more connected into your dreams than into the everyday realities around you. This is a good time to share your dreams with someone you are close to.
At 6:22 AM the Moon enters Libra. The Moon in Libra for the next 2 ½ days will tend to focus on the nature of your interactions with others. The Libran Moon wants to relate to others as equals and to respect others and to be respected by those around you. Encouraging this type of interaction will be beneficial to everyone.
Starting at 8:31 AM, peaking at 10:31 AM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period deep feelings within you that you have buried could affect your mood. Be aware that you may be reacting to the past rather than the present. Ask yourself if you have felt this way in the past and when and with whom. Be prepared to walk away from a situation if you get triggered.
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 15, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on May 23, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern encourages us to go within ourselves and become more aware of the special gifts that we have. We are challenged to release the emotional baggage that is keeping us from connecting into who and what we really are. We can also learn more of who we are by actively engaging with the world and by a flow of energy and experiences from outside of us that move into us and teach us more about ourselves. There is the potential here for sudden insights and understandings that bring joyful feelings of growth. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is ”A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which is about discovering the value of love and gentleness as you yearn to connect into the buried beauty within you. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Rainbow”. This is about experiencing the promise of a new beginning after a dark, difficult and damaging experience allowing hope to be born in you again.
On May 7, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on June 6, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is about reevaluation of your goals. What really are your goals? Are you accomplishing them? What are the internal motives and drives that are generating your behaviors and do these behaviors get you to the result that you really want to accomplish. There is a sense of the importance of the patterns and traditions on the past and of the need for freedom to act spontaneously in the future. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Newly Formed Continent”. This involves a sense of acceptance of yourself as a newly formed being in your own right. There is a danger that you will react to the new pattern forming within you with fear and rejection. The effective expression of this New Moon Pattern involves establishing a stable form at each point based on your current understanding while recognizing that you need to continuously revise your form as your understanding develops.
On April 8, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings us into connection with each other. We understand more and more how the life experiences of others impact our own life experiences. There is a call to support others where they need support as we also respect the importance of each person fashioning their own life pattern. There is a challenge here to learn to work together harmoniously while still respecting each person’s individual experiences and understandings. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter”. Here we are making a tentative connection into and expressing the nurturing love that is the core of this realm of manifestation. This love is always there in the depths, if we will allow ourselves to connect into it, no matter what our situation. There is a warning here about trying to manipulate others by controlling what they need that they do not have access to on their own.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind people’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
On March 19, the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is connecting into our deep emotional levels making us aware of these deep levels and bringing the potential for a reworking, a rebirth of these deep levels based on insight into what is actually going on within us. This insight may come as a result of seeking to act out of these deep levels and getting feedback from the world around us. There is the potential for a reality check on the foundations of our systems during this three month period. The Sabian Symbol for the relationship of Sun to Moon is “A Man formally dressed and a Deer with its Horns folded. This symbol recognized our more primitive aggressive instincts and shows that we use formal, polite relationship patterns to guide our interactions with other. This will enable us to gain control of our more primitive aggressive instincts. Displaying power, dominance and intimidation in this time period is going against the current energy flow and will tend to undermine the accomplishment of your goals.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Saturn >> Introductory Period for Saturn, Uranus: Turning Back 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 “!!!”}
