The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Pluto turns direct today October 8 at 5:55 PM EDT.
Today, Saturday (10/08/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). The strongest vibrational pattern today involves a lot of focus on internally forming a clear picture of what you want your life to be like. This is likely a different life from the one you are currently living. You will likely find this to be an important time to focus on your developing internal plans for your life. You may get some clear ideas about what is really important to you and what is essential to creating the life you want. You will be able at this time to sort through what the foundation and essence of your new life can be and get a sense of what things are not really important. You may be able to simplify and focus on the real essentials of your developing new structure for your life. You may also at this time realize some important things you can do now that will lay the foundation for your future. Go for it! (For VA Students: 32)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
32 (2*) Action plans formulated within yourself and then acted upon at the right moment.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Saturn, Pluto >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are remaining in a protected space while you’re developing a pattern of interaction with energy flowing from Spirit through the feminine aspect into the masculine aspect of yourself; learning how to combine and balance all aspects of yourself. You are experiencing an overpowering compassion for the struggles of all life that enables you to quench the rage and destruction within you that is, otherwise, out of control. You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring a deeper level of spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are venturing into unexplored territory before you’re ready; lacking the coherency and solid foundation you need to be effective. You are getting caught up in your rage and giving up on getting it under control, as it continues to rampage until all your energy is expended and everything around you is destroyed. 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.

27 Capricorn = Pluto [A mountain pilgrimage] You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring a deeper level of spiritual awareness into yourself and the world and/or 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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Oct 8 – Oct 16 (exact Oct 12) Mars in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us at around 12:30 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:49 AM on Oct 12, then decreasing and fading out around 2 PM on Oct 16. This vibration is about acting on your dreams. This is a time to reach out and make your dreams come true. This is the time to take action.
Oct 5 – Oct 8 (exact Oct 6) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing in influence and fading out around 4 AM. This vibration brings an intense focus on your mind and on developing ideas and concepts. You may even find yourself working extra long hours to develop or write down the ideas you are working on.
Sept. 15 – Oct. 22 (closest position Oct. 4, never exact) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is a repeat of a strong pattern that we saw in the last year where there is a focus on doing your own thing and not taking into account the ideas or needs of the rest of the world. This is a very independent, sometimes rebellious, pattern that can tend to be disruptive.
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 10:40 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:40 AM, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is about wanting to feel the magical awesomeness of your dreams and visions and to have these be the center of the way you are living your life. You are likely to find yourself caught up in your dreams and not very connected into the dull boring everyday reality.
Starting at 3:15 AM, peaking at 5:15 AM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period there is an easier connection into deeply buried feelings than at other times. There is an opportunity here to share these deep levels with your friends and to be open to them sharing their deep feelings with you. This exchange can sometimes have a healing quality and reduce the pain within you and your friends.
Starting at 5:10 AM, peaking at 7:10 AM, the Moon in Pisces is opposing Mercury in Virgo. In this 4 hr period the emotions and moods will tend to influence the mind, as well as the mind having an influence on the mood and emotions. They will tend to take turns being dominant.
At 11:56AM, the Moon enters Aries. For the next 2½ days you may find you want to do your own thing, this is when it is easiest to just go out and operate and express yourself in an independent manner. This is a great time to explore something you have always wanted to look into.
Starting at 1:37 PM, peaking at 3:37 PM, the Moon in Aries is joining with Jupiter in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a time when you will feel emotionally expansive and want to share with others in a big way. Enjoy this lovely expansive energy. If something unpleasant happens take care to not overreact.
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 October 2, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us for a week until the Full Moon October 9. This vibrational pattern is about digging down in and tuning into your special gifts and helping others develop their special gifts. This is about developing a deeper understanding of who you and other people are. There is potential here for cutting to the really foundational aspects of who you are and the opportunity to open up to a greater spiritual awareness. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Canoe approaching safety through Dangerous Waters”. This is an opportunity to move into harmony within yourself if you can transcend the ego’s need to domination and the emotional feelings of rebellion within you. The Symbol for the Moon is “An Albatross feeding from the Hand”. Here there is an opportunity to recognize that you and all creatures have a common linkage. This may help you redefine and nurture some of the disturbed aspects within you.
On September 25, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon October 25. This vibrational pattern has some contradictions in it. First it is expansive and seeking to act on its motivations and drives. There is a tendency to act without thinking about how other people are going to be affected by your actions. This is likely to run up against the ideas other people have about how the world works. If you are not naturally inclined to be inclusive, this is a time when you may find you have jumped over the edge of the cliff in your relationships with others. So take extra care about your choices right now and realize there is something self-oriented and irrational pushing you to not take others into account. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The Dawn of a New Day, Everything Changed”. This symbol is about recognizing a new center of awareness within yourself. You are encouraged to embrace a reorientation that causes everything to be changed. The rules are now different and the reactions of others will be different from what you expect. This is especially true if you do not adjust to the changes that are occurring in you and in those around you. If you find you are feeling fear and anger, stop and evaluate and see what the awareness is that you are blocking.
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.
On May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.
On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awarenesses of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY, Pluto turns direct today at 5:55 PM EDT >> Introductory Period of Mars: Turning back of Uranus: Reworking of Jupiter, Neptune: Turning forward 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 “!”}
