The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Saturday (09/16/2023),the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Saturn (1*). The strongest vibrational energy today is relating to your individual relationship to the greater reality that defines how life operates for you. This is your internal deep frame of reference. Today’s vibration brings a strong need to learn and study expanding your understanding to the core structure of reality that guides you. You are going to be analyzing whatever is available to analyze seeking to penetrate more deeply into your understanding of how life operates. You are willing to do whatever is necessary to connect more deeply. This pattern actually extends beyond three planets and involve the communication of your personal understanding of the process of direct relationship to the deeper reality and structure that sustains you. (For VA Students: 31)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
31 (6*) Sensing an encompassing pattern to life that you are a part of and working on the relationship of yourself and other individuals to that pattern
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are looking at things in a uniquely different light, using your creativity to discover new and different possibilities for the future. You are spontaneously enjoying a playful focus, sharing with others in the present in delight and wonder, finding great creativity unfolding in your life. You are finding a damaged part of yourself where there is no energy flowing, realizing that it contains rigid patterns that come from ancient times and old soul issues, patterns that have to be broken up enough that you can start to heal and rebuild this part of yourself, facing and transforming these ancient patterns and connecting this part of yourself back into universal light and love.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are being caught in patterns of unrealistic thoughts, making plans for the future that do not work, losing touch with the real world. You are getting caught up in daydreaming and rejecting any type of serious responsible behavior or, at the opposite pole, you’re rejecting any type of frivolous, light, impractical behavior. You are holding onto your difficult and rigid patterns, feeling frozen in a shape that you’re not willing to release.

3 Pisces = Saturn [A petrified forest] You are finding a damaged part of yourself where there is no energy flowing, realizing that it contains rigid patterns that come from ancient times and old soul issues, patterns that have to be broken up enough that you can start to heal and rebuild this part of yourself, facing and transforming these ancient patterns and connecting this part of yourself back into universal light and love and/or you are holding onto your difficult and rigid patterns, feeling frozen in a shape that you’re not willing to release
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}
Sep 14 – Sep 19 (exact Sep 17) Venus in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:09 AM on Sept 17, then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Sept 19. This vibration is about taking action that will increase or enhance the beauty of the things which interest you in the world around you
Sep 14 – Sep 16 (exact Sep 15) the Sun in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 10 PM. This vibration involves a free flow of spontaneous expression in the moment. Be sure you are clearly aware in the moment so you can avoid potential accidents that could occur if you are not paying attention.
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 1:52 PM, peaking at 3:52 PM, the Moon in Libra is joining with Mars in Libra. In this 4 hr period when the Moon and Mars join together the emotions get a lot of energy and there is a desire to go out and take action. If something blocks that action there may be feelings of anger.
Starting at 5:57 PM, peaking at 7:57 PM, the Moon in Libra is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Leo. 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.}
On September 14, 2023, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on October 14. This vibrational energy pattern has a strong emphasis on emotional spontaneity and quick responses in the moment. There is a sense of working to realize your dreams through what you encounter in the world. There is an awareness of the community you are in and of the importance of expanding the benefits of community to all the people in the community. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Royal Coat of Arms”. This symbol points to the responsibility each of us has to pass the benefits we have received on to the people who are in need. What we have gained we have a responsibility to pass on to others, to aide, to guide and to protect those who are less fortunate than we are.
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 21. This is the longest day of the year and the shortest night. This vibrational pattern is dominated by the Sun Quincunx Pluto which shows that this is a time when each person must face and claim their own power and stand tall in it. There is an emphasis on working in support of your community this summer in very creative ways along with the potential for expansion through sudden insights and personal breakthroughs. The Sabian symbol for the Sun-Moon relationship is “A Christmas Tree decorated” which is like bringing the Winter Solstice into operation in the middle of Summer. This is about the light being reborn in the darkness within each of us.
On May 5, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational pattern is expansive and seeking to understand the different ways people can understand the world. This is often done by participating in a culture that is different from your culture of origin. There is a strong need for the freedom to express yourself and to act on your feelings. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which helps you connect to the next more expansive level of awareness beyond where you currently are operating. The Moon Symbol is “A Gold Rush”. This helps you find and identify the rigid patterns within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. You can break up these rigid structures and open up to a deeper truer understanding of yourself.
On April 20 the New Moon a Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 14. This eclipse in Aries emphasizes your connection within yourself and encourages you to find a way to do what you feel called to do deep within you. There is a focus on interacting with the world and exploring whatever you are drawn to. This process can be very creative. And with this vibration it leads to taking actions based on your discoveries. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A Duck Pond and its Brood”. This is about recognizing that you are operating within a bounded, limited sphere of activity where you are inter-linked with a particular group of people. It is important to realize that you are interconnected with people in a larger realm and to realize that you need to take into account this larger realm rather than just focusing on the needs of your group.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Venus >> Turning Backward of Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto: Turning Forward of Mercury: Resolution of Venus {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 “!!!”}
