The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Mercury enters its shadow on November 9.
At 12:55 AM EST early November 9, the First Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Scorpio.
Today, Saturday (11/9/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Jupiter (1*). This vibrational energy pattern is about being involved with other people’s stories and life experiences. This involves learning a lot about other people and what they are experiencing in their lives and coming to see the big picture of how the lives of all of these people are related in their experiences. Then there is the need to take big actions that will relate to these experiences. (For VA Students: 17)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by developing yourself as an individual, a unique character. This is done by combining your sense of relatedness with a process of connecting the things that do not seem to be connected at all.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
25 (4*) Need to participation in an open, creative community
17 (4*) Interest in other’s stories that inclines to many possible outcomes, such as involvement in theater, literature, counseling or personal performance.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mars, Jupiter >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are quietly considering who you have become, reflecting on, releasing and letting go of all superficial aspects of yourself and displaying the flame of spirit within you, letting it shine unclouded and clear. You are cutting back on the excesses of ego display, finding appropriate expressions of your innate sense of yourself. You are determining which of the abundance of choices available will provide the nourishment you need, evaluating what you hunger for, selecting it, paying for it, and bringing it in to become a part of yourself.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are focusing on superficialities and watching them die, feeling like you’re losing everything that is of any importance or significance in your life. You are creating an illusion that is not really you so that you can be accepted by others. You are being overwhelmed by the many things available to you being unable to make a choice or taking more than you need and depriving someone else.

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}
Nov 8 – Nov 10 (exact Nov 9) Venus in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:15 AM on Nov. 9 then decreasing fading out around 4:30 AM on Nov. 10. This vibrational energy pattern is about the dreams and visions you are attracted to and expressing them in the world as new ways for people to live and experience life.
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.}
At 12:55 AM early November 9, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Scorpio. This is the first Quarter Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary below.
Starting at 3:12 AM, peaking at 5:12 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Gemini. 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 1:17 PM, peaking at 3:17 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next moment and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”
Starting at 5:23 PM, peaking at 7:23 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Sagittarius. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, especially those with whom you feel a soul connection.
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.}
At 12:55 AM EST early November 9, the First Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Scorpio. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on November 15, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern involves a lot of nostalgia for the past combined with a desire for amazing out of this world experiences. There is a strong emotional need for your dreams to expand into reality. There is the potential to get caught up in your dreams and lose track of the real world around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Woods rich in Autumn Coloring” is related to quietly considering who you have become, reflecting on, releasing and letting go of all superficial aspects of yourself and displaying the flame of spirit within you, letting it shine unclouded and clear. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Man Unmasked” which refers to unmasking the hidden lingering ego issues within you, finding the truth of yourself being revealed even if you’re not ready for it, learning to face the truth of yourself both good and bad.
On November 1, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and the Sun in Scorpio. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 1, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern has a very intense need to act based on your dreams and visions. This is balanced by a feeling rising from the gut about what the core truth of the situation is. Both are combined with a shared sense of dissatisfaction that generates a restless seeking reaching out for better more satisfactory answers. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Fellowship Supper”. This shows the potential for reaching out to others and sharing companionably with them enabling you to form and renew feelings of fellowship and bonding. By opening up to healing your lines of connection, you can break through your feelings of alienation. There is a potential here to refuse to face and deal with past issues and old secrets by disconnecting yourself from those around you. This can leave you with a sense of having lost some important part of yourself.
On October 2, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern shows a strong need for the freedom to express yourself as you feel inside. This involves the development of your own unique pattern of expression being within your culture but free to operate as who you truly are with the awarenesses you have developed. If this is blocked there is likely to be a strong sense of dissatisfaction where you join with others and reach out seeking to find another more satisfactory place. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Professor peering over his Glasses” which encourages you to move beyond your normal mode of perception to perceive a more comprehensive reality where others are viewed kindly, seriously and with respect.. The challenge is to not get caught up in a superior position that distorts your perception and leads to you seeing others as inferior to you where they need to be bossed around for their own good.
On September 22, the Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a strong need to live life in a harmonious flow. This is a visceral need which you will seek to meet in the way you deal with the people around you. If you feel you are trapped in a situation that is not flowing for you there is the potential for violence. You are likely to be especially sensitive, impulsive and driven during this time period. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon interaction is “A Muse weighing Twins”. This relates to weighing and evaluating the rational and irrational levels within you and realizing that they are reflections of each other. This is an opportunity to begin to understand that you need to learn to establish a balance between them based on a higher more expansive level of awareness within you that transcends both of them.
On September 17, 2024, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on dreams and ideals that last past death. This is about tuning into the long term patterns of unfolding evolving awareness that transcend the resistance of the moment. There is a major focus in this eclipse on evaluation of your motives and drives to be sure you are getting the result you want. There is also a balancing of your individual view of life against what works for everyone else. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Boy with a Censer” which involves learning how to expand your awareness and accept responsibility for both yourself and your interactions with others by modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed. The Moon Symbol is “A New Moon that divides its Influences” which involves learning how to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision. If you do not realize that everyone is connected you may start feeling alone and isolated.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury enters its shadow >> Introductory Period of Mercury, Mars: Reworking of Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Forward of Saturn, 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 “!!!”}
