The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Saturday (10/29/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Mercury and Venus (0*). There are no vibrational energies strong enough to be a focus for the energy today. Instead there are several clusters of energy and you will tend to be attracted to the one that you resonate with the most. The largest energy concentration is in the featured vibration Sun, Mercury, Venus which is about personal experiences and interactions with others that involve beautiful communication. This is a lovely vibration and brings extra facility in speaking and writing. The second strongest is Sun, Saturn, Neptune which is more of an internally focused flow and encourages you to spend some time by yourself opening up to spiritual experiences, perhaps doing meditation or reading an inspiring book. The third is Venus, Mars, Uranus which is also more about internal work, but this is more about evaluation of what is within you or what you are experiencing identifying strengths and weaknesses and seeing how to become more coherent more effective. Just open up and you will draw to you what you need. (For VA Students: 1, 2 || 21 || 19)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
21 (1*) Internalized easy flow of awareness, Works toward Free-flowing Elegance
19 (1*) Analysis of conceptual frameworks shared with others
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Venus >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are involving yourself in the initial exploration of strange new realms, recognizing the importance of keeping contact with your own identity while exploring realms that are unknown to you and sharing your experiences with others. You are experiencing the light of awareness shining across the areas you’re exploring, revealing the chaos within you. You are drilling out deep decay, filling in the holes, replacing missing parts, returning your structure to its proper functional form, and learning how you can continue to keep it in good shape. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting confused and disoriented because of losing track of yourself, holding back and withdrawing into yourself, so that you get caught in unfriendly alien circumstances. You are being caught up in superficial reflections, failing to see or deal with the depths that lie hidden underneath them. You are digging in deeper and deeper causing more damage as you go by refusing to change your beliefs and behaviors in order to stop creating harm.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
At 3:22 PM EDT, Mercury enters Scorpio. It will remain there until November 17. Mercury in Scorpio can tend to get very mentally intense. You will tend to get very involved in whatever you are thinking about or working on. This can be uncomfortable for those not used to it as you can feel like you are being swallowed up. If it gets too much, just step back for a couple of minutes and take a breath, or even take a walk around the block to help you temporarily disconnect.
All of the two planet patterns today involve the Moon and are described below.
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 11:59 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:59 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is opposing Mars in Gemini. In this 4 hr period you have a lot of energy that can be shared with others in group projects or group activities like sports or exercise. It is important to guide this energy into positive channels that flow through you so that you can use it constructively.
Starting at 6:33 AM, peaking at 8:33 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Libra. This 4 hr period brings a focus on thinking and communicating those thoughts, so writing down your thoughts, and possibly communicating what you are thinking about in a discussion or just sitting and thinking for a while would be profitable. This has the emotions and the mind interacting well and is a good time to work on important projects.
Starting at 7:10 AM, peaking at 9:10 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Pisces. In this 4 hr period your emotions will tend to expand. If you are feeling good, this can be great. If you are not feeling good, then this can be difficult. See if you can direct your feelings and thoughts to things that are pleasant and positive and you will be rewarded with some really good feelings.
At 9:21 AM, the Moon enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation is appropriate, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
Starting at 6:20 PM, peaking at 8:20 PM, the Sun in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with the Moon in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period you will feel a lightening of your mood with your emotions flowing easily in interaction with others. A meeting or a social gathering would be smoother and easier right now.
Starting at 9:41 PM, peaking at 11:41 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Scorpio. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, 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 6:49 AM EDT, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
On September 22 the Fall Equinox occurs as the Sun enters Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern involves tuning into yourself and following what is within you rather than seeking to meet external expectations. There is a sense of skepticism about simple pat answers. This comes from a sense of a depth to life with a deep mystery at the very core of life, a mystery that cannot be reduced down to words.. The Sabian Symbol for the Fall Equinox is “An Ancient Pottery Bowl filled with Violets”. This is about basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life. You are encouraged to develop a delicate and beautiful essence that radiates love, peace, beauty and simplicity.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Turning back of 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 “!”}
