The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
At 5:52 PM EDT the Third Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Virgo.
Today, Saturday (9/17/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Pluto (1*). The strongest vibration today is involved in internal work seeking to understand your internal pattern and the awareness and gifts you have. There is a working on a deeper understanding of who you are. This is a very intense need today. You may be preoccupied with this internal introspection. You may also be interacting with others sharing what you are realizing and listening to what others are learning about themselves. This vibe is very supportive of helping people feel a deeper sense of who they are and how they are able to be true to themselves. You may find yourself encouraging others in developing a deeper awareness within themselves. (For VA Students: 13, 26)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
8 (1*) Acting effectively to accomplish your Motivations & Drives
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Pluto >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are working internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively. You are sharing with those who have the same background and experiences you have, receiving support and understanding, knowing that those experiences are not understood by other people. 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 being pulled this way and that way by the needs of others losing track of who you are and what you are seeking to do. You are feeling that you’re so different from everyone around you and so misunderstood that you pull off by yourself into isolation. 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}
Sep 17 – Sep 19 (exact Sep 18) Mercury in Libra is opposing Jupiter in Aries. This vibe begins to influence us around 10:30 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:34 PM on Sept 18 then decreasing fading out around 11:30 PM on Sept 19. This vibration helps us understand our relationships better. We are able to step back and see the big picture of the relationship. This can sometimes be disturbing when it is not what we want emotionally.
Sep 15 – Sep 17 (exact Sep 16) the Sun in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:21 PM then decreasing fading out around 6:30 PM. This vibration brings your visions and dreams into focus and calls you to live out of them. There is a strong need here for your life to be amazing, non-ordinary, even magical.
Sep 15 – Sep 17 (exact Sep 16) Venus in Virgo is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Gemini. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:48 PM then decreasing fading out around 9 PM. This vibration is about taking action focused on the natural world and real involvement in the natural world around you. This resonates with being in nature or with making something beautiful out of natural substances. There is also a strong desire here for direct involvement in a relationship and the expression of this relationship in beautiful, perhaps even sexual ways.
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.
Aug 15 – Sep 17 (closest position Sep 9, never exact) Mercury in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Gemini. This vibe is increasing in influence until Mercury turns retrograde on Sept 9 then decreasing fading out on Sept 17. It will come back and culminate on Oct 26, 2022. This vibration connects your ability to act and communicate into the ideas and thoughts you are thinking about. There is a very nice flow that should lead to some very effective actions. First evaluate your actions during the time from Aug 15 to Sept 17, and see what actions make sense. Know that in October there will be a big opportunity that you can prepare for now.
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 5:04 AM, peaking at 7:04 AM, the Moon in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period stimulates an internal awareness of the patterns that are working for your long term benefit and those that are undermining your goals. It is easy to shift at this time to a more effective expression related to your goals.
Starting at 1:53 PM, peaking at 3:53 PM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period highlights your dreams and is a great time to do anything that is especially magical for you, like visiting some special place that you love to go to. There may be some feelings of disconnection from the everyday world and perhaps a sense of fuzziness or vagueness. It will pass as the Moon moves beyond Neptune.
At 5:52 PM EDT the Third Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Virgo. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary for more information.
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 5:52 PM EDT the Third Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon September 25. This Vibrational Pattern is about seeing the big picture of how the past has been influencing the present. There is a sense of a flow from the past to the present with potential emotional reactions that reverberate through the community based on past experiences. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Flag at Half-Mast”. This is about learning to respond to the needs of others rather than being only absorbed in what you need and what affects you. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Man trimming Palms”. This presents the challenge of evaluating the growth and the changes within you and figuring out what is really enabling you to reach towards your goals and what is extraneous and needs to be removed.On September 10, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon September 25. The vibrational pattern of this Full Moon is challenging. There is a focus on our dreams and visions and a challenge to bring the deep dreams out into the world. This is always challenging as well as being critically important. If we decide to act on these deep inner awarenesses it can change our lives for better or worse. And this energy is so compelling that we are more likely than not to take those actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Ouija Board”. This relates to seeking outside guidance to improve your understanding of deep levels of disturbed energy within you that you are seeking to release. You are warned that you need to evaluate the guidance you receive and see if it is correct. The Moon Symbols is “A Gigantic Tent”. This symbol opens you up to enable you to experience a greater reality that encompasses everything. You are encouraged to passionately share this inspiring vision with others.
On August 27, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon September 25. In this vibrational pattern there is a very strong emphasis on accomplishing your goals in ways that are comfortable and pleasing to those around you. There is an abundance of energy available to do this and a tendency to claim the freedom to operate in the moment spontaneously. At the same time there is an almost instinctive ability to operate in ways that will flow harmoniously in your environment. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Man Dreaming of Fairies”. This is about using your imagination. It brings a tendency to see the deeper, invisible levels of the world and within yourself. There is the potential here to reintegrate some rejected aspects of yourself and your world. There is a warning here about using your imagination to escape from reality, which could mean losing touch with yourself and possibly getting caught up in delusions. The tendency with this New Moon is that it brings amazing potential if you will reintegrate the patterns you have rejected.
On June 21 the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22. The vibrational energy pattern for the solstice contains a shared potential for creative exploration. There is also a sense of shared restlessness and dissatisfaction that seems to drive people to seek something different than what they have. The Sabian Symbol for the Summer Solstice comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon. It is “A Gypsy coming out of the Forest” which shows the potential for people to move beyond their previously restricted viewpoint and become aware of a larger reality that they can connect into.
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: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury, Mars, Neptune >> Introductory Period of Mars: Turning back of Uranus: Reworking of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune: Turning forward of 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 “!”}
