The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Friday (5/8/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). This vibration represents the underlying vibrational pattern of this year. These three planets are in a dance where each of them partners with the others one at a time mapping out the underlying shape of this year. That shape is about growth in a step by step process bringing about profound change in your life and your relationships with others. This is not optional growth that you can choose or not depending on what you can handle. This is mandatory growth and change that you have no choice about. This is the types of changes that you cannot ignore. The best we have is to be thankful that we get to take this growth one step at a time rather than being dumped into the deep end when you don’t know how to swim, but make know mistake. You will get some time to learn how to swim, but you had better use it because you are going to have to swim in the deep end. There is not choice on that. This is combined with a feeling of restless dissatisfaction that you and those around you share as you seek a more beautifully ordered world.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets
Today the featured planets are three underlying symbols of great impact this year.
It is important to periodically review these symbols and the lessons they have to teach us this year. This is about making a deeper connection to the stability that underlies reality as you perceive more of the fundamental truths that support this realm of time and space. You are learning the many genuine, precious, beautiful and useful things that there are within this realm. This enables you to continue in the pursuit of your life’s work despite obstacles and defeats.
| 25 Capricorn = Jupiter, Pluto |
| An oriental-rug dealer |
| You are displaying genuine, precious, beautiful, and useful products and gifts, offering them to others at a fair price and/or you are misrepresenting the value and significance of your products and gifts seeking to gain an advantage or take advantage of others |

| An old adobe mission |
| You are studying the shells remaining of ancient spiritual truths, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth and/or you are dogmatically pushing your beliefs on others, believing that you know the one and only true way, seeking to force other people to follow your beliefs |
| 23 Capricorn = Saturn, Pluto |
| Two awards for bravery in war |
| You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats and/or you are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve |

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 8 – May 9 (exact May 9) Mercury in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 11 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:17 AM on May 9 then decreasing fading out around 8 PM on May 9. This vibration brings intense mental focus. This is a great time for working on an important project that requires great concentration.
May 1 – May 8 (exact May 3) Venus in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 8 AM. This vibration wants to explore and develop your dreams and visions for your life. There is a significant potential to be able to act in ways that are in accord with your dreams.
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.}
At 3:15 AM, the Moon enters Sagittarius. The Moon in Sagittarius brings exuberant feelings and a desire to explore your external world and your internal world. This 2 ½ days is a great time to explore someplace you have never been or to learn something new that you have been wondering about.
Starting at 4:26 AM, peaking at 6:26 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period brings a strong sense of responsibility and a need to act in purposeful, meaningful ways that will have long term implications.
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 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.}
