The Vibrational Astrology Diary

Mercury turns Retrograde today
Today, Saturday (5/29/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Uranus and Pluto (1*). This vibration is very attuned to other people’s stories. You will be thinking about what you are learning from other people and are likely to get sudden insights into these people and into yourself. It is likely that you will benefit from making a point of interacting with others and they will benefit also. This is combined with Moon, Mercury, Venus which formulates itself deep within you, and acts based on that internal awareness which brings a deep capacity to connect with others and a strong ability to communicate with a potential for great creativity and the opportunity to share that creativity with others based on special internal and external sensitivity.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Uranus, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are working to guide the tumultuous growth within you in order to develop a beautiful, healthy structure, (this part is healthy, this is twisted and distorted and needs to be removed) even if it means you feel more exposed and vulnerable. You are facing the baggage you carry within you; working through it piece by piece. You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are working routinely on superficial appearances without knowing when to stop, and thus leaving a mess, while you are neglecting your deeper needs for nourishment and love. You are feeling overburdened and unable to cope with the weight of all the baggage that you carry as you experience the totality of it all at once. You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position.

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 29 – Jun 1 (exact May 31) Mars in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 10 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:15 AM on May 31 then decreasing fading out around 5 PM on May. This vibration brings a great sensitivity to the dreams and visions that would make your life amazing and there is energy here to put into achieving that life.
May 28 – May 29 (exact May 29) Mercury in Gemini is joining with Venus in Gemini. This vibe begins to influence us around 5 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:12 AM on May 29 then decreasing fading out around 9 AM on May 29. This vibration is about literary awareness. There is a sense of curiosity that will have you trying various books seeking to find something that is really amazing. This is also a good time to speak to groups of people. Give yourself some time today to read something special.
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 8:36 AM, peaking at 10:36 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is opposing Mars in Cancer. This 4 hr period brings a need to interact with others to accomplish your goals. Just be aware that they need to also be accomplishing their goals.
Starting at 10:13 AM, peaking at 12:13 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is a time for sharing your dreams with others and working together to make all of your dreams come true.
Starting at 4:15 PM, peaking at 6:15 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period brings deep intense connections within yourself that can possibly be triggered by current experiences. Take care as you can over-react to current events.
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 26 a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius. This vibration will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on June 10. This is the start of the Eclipse Season. This vibration is focused on taking action and doing the things that it is essential for you to do to express yourself authentically. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Drilling for Oil” which refers to you digging down into the ancient strata looking for that which has been formed deep within you. You recognize the pressure that these old structures generate and seek to release the energy that is bound up in these deep patterns. There is a warning not to scatter your energy in superficial pursuits that will let you avoid the deep work that is called for at this time. The Moon Symbol is “A Game of Cricket”. This refers to the process of learning the rules of interfacing with the physical and spiritual realms and following these rules so you can effectively play the game. It cautions against acting arbitrarily, refusing to play by the rules of the game and that if you do you will likely receive harsh reactions and perhaps be rejected by others.
On May 11 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon joining together in Taurus. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse, on June 10. This vibration ties into Neptune which means we are seeking to develop our dreams this lunation cycle as well as to bring our ideals into operation in our world around us. There is a sense of deep internal work here that you then take action on. You may experience feelings of restlessness and dissatisfaction this cycle that have you working to develop new ways of operating in your lives and in society. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “White Dove over Troubled Waters” which relates to learning how to separate yourself from your emotional patterns, knowing that they are a part of you, but you do not have to act them out. When you see the bigger picture, you may be able to transcend some of your personal distress.
On March 20, the Sun entered Aries. This is the Spring Equinox, the start of Spring. This vibration will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2021. The Spring vibration is extremely creative. There is unusual ability this spring to focus and work on creative projects. You are capable of making your own analysis of what is really important and what most needs to be done. At the same time there is a strong inclination to integrate this with your dreams and to take actions that will make your dreams more real. A Sabian Symbol that relates to this spring is “A Fellowship Supper” which relates to breaking through your feelings of alienation opening yourself up to healing your lines of connection to others. It is important to work past your fears and face whatever issues are relevant so that you can reconnect both with yourself and with the world around you.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Neptune — Mercury turns Retrograde today
Introductory contact for Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Turning Backward of Mercury, Saturn, 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 “!”}
