The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus (1*) are generating the strongest vibration today. They are working together to help each of us balance our sense of individuality and freedom with our sense of responsibility for our actions. We grow as we realize and accept that there is no true freedom without responsibility and responsibility is stifling and an impossible burden without the room for the unique expression of each individual. Either one by itself is out of balance and harmful both to yourself and to others.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
23 (1*) Focusing on one’s unique orientation to life and expressing that whatever the risks
16 (1*) Internally focused thought
The Dancing 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 a lot of days in a row and there are quick Moon patterns that just impact our mood for a couple of hours either side of their exact time. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
Aug. 1 – Sept. 21 (not exact) Saturn in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This pattern is very similar to the longer Uranus and Pluto pattern above. It reached its closest point of interaction on Aug. 27. This vibration is both focused long-term on what really lasts and spontaneous and impulsive in the moment at the same time. Since these two needs are contradictory, you get things like suddenly eliminating things from your life that you don’t think are meaningful in the long run. It is important to find ways to honor both your long-term interests and the need to be spontaneous in the moment. Recognize that both these needs are important and that they are present at the same time and that you need to make space in your life for both. Especially provide periods of time when you can be spontaneous and you will handle this better.
July 2 – Oct. 19 (exact Sept. 26) Uranus in Taurus is quiet and focused (septile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This pattern is increasing in strength until Sept. 26 calling for focused or disciplined spontaneity. You may be feeling you are lacking spontaneity in your life and find yourself forcing yourself to be spontaneous. This is not easy and may generate some tension inside you. Any focused and spontaneous activity will help use and release this energy. Some examples are dance, group sports, tai chi, or martial arts. Also, a massage might help release built up tension.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that just impact our mood for a couple of hours either side of their exact time.}
Shortly after midnight in the two hour window around 1:33 AM the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. For those of us who are asleep during this time period, this may bring some very special dreams. Have a pen and a notebook so you can write down your dreams. Around 5:06 AM the Moon in Taurus is opposing Jupiter in Scorpio. This can bring a sense of expansiveness in the early morning with a good feeling. This is about emotional expansion and it is important to take care that the expansion doesn’t get so large that it gets distorted and problematic. Around 8:15 AM the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trines) with Pluto in Capricorn. People may find that they tend to dig up the past and respond to that past with more intensity than the present situation warrants. Keep an eye on your feeling and see if you are really responding to the present situation. If you aren’t then keep quiet whatever you may be feeling inside. Finally around 3:07 PM the Taurus Moon activates Mercury in Leo. This stimulates the mind and gets you thinking about everything and analyzing both your actions and the actions of those around you.
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.}
The Full Moon was on August 26 and will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 9. The issue in this two week period is Freedom to act spontaneously as you feel like vs. Responsibility for the results of your actions. There is a challenge to truly be yourself and to know and express that which is real and meaningful. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A black child playing with white children”. This calls us to have understanding for others who are different from us and to be open to making the internal adjustments needed to recognize the importance of patterns different from your own. The Moon Symbol “Heavy traffic on a narrow isthmus” reminds us that reaching such understanding requires facing the blockages within us and finding the narrow channels that are there that lead to a greater understanding.
The overview of the Current Eclipse Cycle of 3 Eclipses between July 12 and August 11. {We will be feeling the vibrational effect of the current eclipse cycle at least until the start of the next cycle on January 6, 2019. The following is the summary of the guidance from the Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}
Express your gifts as a natural outflow of who you are without feeling that you deserve special treatment. Your reactions to situations may come from problems in your past that have not been resolved with the current situation just being a trigger. You can receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and from your ancestors helping you tune into ancient wisdom and understand how it can be effective in addressing the problems you face today. This will allow you to relax into an easy flow of interaction with other people where you are accepting other people and they are accepting you. Open up to your higher universal awareness and connections and let it guide you.
The Summer Solstice was on June 21 and this energy pattern will be influencing us until September 22 when the Fall Equinox occurs. The Summer Solstice is when the Sun enters Cancer and the Summer officially begins. With the temperatures we have been seeing a lot of places, it looks like the Summer has gotten off to a running start. This summer there is a strong emphasis on taking action that will benefit the community and bring peace and healing. People will not be willing to sacrifice their sense of what is right and ultimately meaningful but they will value operating in peaceful cooperative ways to achieve their goals. In the midst of all this it is important for each of us to take some time out to just be in the moment and relax and play in a creative way.
The Retrograde Diary
(Uranus) turning backwards, (Neptune, Pluto) in Retrograde, (Mars, Saturn) turning forward, (Mercury, Jupiter) in Final Resolution
{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.}
Mercury: {July 8 [July 26 – Aug 19] Sept 2, 2018}
Sept. 1 – 2: (22-23 Leo) Resolution: Remember to no longer be bound by issues related to appearance, display and approval, developing a sense of self-worth and a connection with internal resources that transcends physical appearance, learning to stop being caught up in appearances and vanity and in your desire for recognition and approval
Mars: {May 13 [June 27 – Aug 27] Oct. 8}
Aug. 19 – Sept. 4: (29-28 Cap) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to begin to read with great clarity the hidden level of reality as you put aside your skepticism and open to intuitive awareness, learning to stop superstitiously depending on signs around you and blindly following these signs not taking responsibility for your life or your decisions
Jupiter {Dec. 12, 2017 [Mar. 10 – July 10] Oct. 6}
Aug. 30 – Sept. 6: (17-18 Sco) Resolution: Remember to quietly consider and reflect on who you have become, releasing and letting go of all superficial aspects of yourself and coming to understand that the flame of spirit is within you and that you can let it shine unclouded and clear, learning to stop focusing on superficialities and watching them die and feeling like you are losing everything that is of any importance or significance in your life
Saturn {Jan. 10 [Apr. 17 – Sept. 6] Dec. 12}
Aug. 13 – Sept. 30: (3-2 Cap) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to open to new growth in areas where there has been misuse of authority, learning to stop refusing to grow and holding onto abusive patterns and misunderstandings
Uranus {Apr. 20 [Aug. 7 – Jan. 6, 2019] Apr. 23, 2019}
July 1 – Sept. 14: (2-3 Tau) Turning Back: The Issue is to move in a natural progression of steps, learning and growing and opening yourself to the experience of wonder and beauty, learning to stop getting fascinated by your vision and caught in that fantasy rather than doing the work to climb the steps and experience the reality
Neptune {Feb. 6 [June 18 – Nov. 25] Mar. 15, 2019}
Aug. 2 – Sept. 10: (16-15 Pis) Reworking: Working on being able to connect into the flow of spiritual inspiration within yourself being flexible and open to that which you have not previously known or experienced, learning to stop closing up and being caught in a cycle of negativity that limits your perceptions and shuts you off from others
Pluto {Dec. 31, 2017 [Apr. 22 – Sept. 30] Jan. 21, 2019}
Aug. 29 – Nov. 1: (19-18 Cap) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to reach a level of awareness where you can bring the gifts of the spirit into reality even though you are not mature enough to effectively manage them all, learning to stop getting overloaded by all the expectations of yourself that you and others have
