The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (5/8/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Mercury joining with Jupiter and Pluto (2*). This vibration is restless and dissatisfied. It see the big picture, in fact it can’t help seeing the big picture and it realized that some thing doesn’t work right. There is not the kind of balance and give and take that is possible. This brings a drive to move out, move beyond the current level of reality and find something new, something different that works better. However, this is not an individual quest, this vibration is about joining together with other people who feel this same sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction and working together to bring something new and different into being. You have the opportunity today to open up to a bigger view of the world and move into it more completely.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are stopping the operation of your psyche as usual, recognizing its rationalizations, denials and up-surging anger as demands that the emotional patterns and needs within you must be heard and dealt with. You are embracing the path of spirit, relying on the universal flow, continuing to push forward against all odds; being open to learning from the ancient civilizations around you as they are manifesting in beauty and abundance, recognizing the fruit coming from the seeds of the ancient past. 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 denying your needs and rationalizing your anger away while covertly using it to attack others. You are only accepting concepts or information from rational sources, focusing on your own ideas, rejecting the concepts of others and destroying anything that does not align with your aims and goals. 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 7 – May 9 (exact May 8) Venus in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:38 AM then decreasing fading out around 7 AM on May. This vibration is strongly attracted to beauty and wants to act in ways that increase its experience of beauty. This can include expansive social interactions and going to places that are especially beautiful to you to feed your soul.
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 11:35 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:35 AM on May 8, the Moon in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Cancer. This 4 hr period carries a lot of energy that needs to be directed in order for it to be used constructively. There is an excess that needs to be used in sports, exercise or physical projects. There is some potential for problems if this energy is not used constructively.
Starting at 8:18 AM, peaking at 10:18 AM, the Moon in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period involves evaluation all of your actions and feelings and deciding which ones really work towards the long-terms goals you are seeking to accomplish and which ones don’t and then dropping the nonproductive feelings and behaviors.
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 3 the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 11. There is a sense of how special each person is and what a unique expression of the divine spirit each of us is. This pattern is especially about appreciating this deep essence within yourself and especially about communicating to others your awareness of this deep beautiful level in them and your appreciation of it. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Shellfish Groping and Children Playing” which is about recognizing and embracing the many levels of yourself and seeking to embrace the full range of your capabilities, gifts and growth processes. It is important not to cut yourself off from natural aspects of who you are. The Moon Symbols is “A Train entering a Tunnel”. This is about seeing clearly enough to recognizing that you can bypass some of the obstacles within you, just move beyond them. There is some risk here, but this is the time when a shorter way through is available if you can recognized and embrace it.
On April 26, the Full Moon occurred with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 11. This Full Moon has some very intense energies. It is heavily influenced by both Uranus and Neptune. Uranus makes this a time that is very spontaneous with a strong need for freedom to express in your own unique way as you feel like. Neptune points this energy into your dreams for your life. It encourages you to take actions that will bring your dreams more into your life. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Sleigh without Snow”. This is about you working now to develop the skills and tools you need for the life you are seeking to make for yourself. The Moon Symbol is “The Moon shining across a Lake” which is about you seeing further and deeper and perhaps getting some glimmer of what you can do in your life.
On April 11, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon joining together in Aries. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 11. This New Moon holds the promise of a rebirth of our understanding of life, the potential for setting in motion a deeper understanding of the beauty of life and of all people that all of us must be included and valued to make a whole world. There is something new being born at this time, let us hope we can cherish it and welcome it into our lives. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable but veiled load”. This represents the potential for opening up in trust to the soft loving transmission of an extremely significant, hidden pattern that is in the process of forming within you. The challenge is for you to actually open up and not let your fear and blockages keep you from receiving this special gift.
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.
This current Eclipse season ended on December 14, 2020 and the next eclipse season will begin on May 26, 2021. The current eclipse season will be influencing us until the next one begins. The current eclipse cycle involved a push for action based on feelings of dissatisfaction. This is combined with an awareness of the importance of being true to ourselves and that our true self is tuned into a greater reality of which we are a part, something greater than ourselves that we participate in. This is a call to open up to that greater reality, become one with it and be transformed by this experience.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Introductory contact for Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Turning Backward of 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 “!”}
