The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
The Fall Equinox is at 2:50 AM EDT as the Sun entering Libra
Today, Saturday (09/23/2023),the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon and Mercury joining with Jupiter (0*). There is no vibrational energy today strong enough to organize the energy field. You are likely to respond to the energy that most closely aligns with you. The first of the available energies is the featured pattern Moon, Mercury, Jupiter. This vibrational energy brings a flow of thoughtful expansive feelings that you share with others in a harmonious manner. This is a very nice, good feeling energy. The second pattern of almost the same strength is Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. This brings deep focus within yourself connecting in with what you feel is the real you. You are sorting out what is the awareness that you can share with others seeking to get to the fundamental truths that are really important. (For VA Students: 3, 6 || 32)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Mercury, Jupiter >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are learning to humbly recognize your ties to the divine essence in the heart of all things, experiencing exaltation and consummation as the darkness, self-centeredness, fear and insecurity within you is burned away. You are experiencing the freaked out places in your emotions and the emotions of those around you and, using the power of your personality and your spiritual awareness to calm the situation down. You are helping yourself and others, especially children, who have been damaged and injured, to reconnect through joyful play. You are forming a working pattern for dealing with the world that enables you to function while you continue to learn about yourself and work on your deeper issues.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are intensely focusing on yourself to the point of obsession, overestimating your personal powers and abilities, moving into danger that could obliterate you. You are being too timid and afraid to take action, losing the opportunity to gain control; or using your power and energy to manipulate the reactions of others for your personal gain. You are acting like you care about others when you really don’t, substituting things for genuine caring and love and immaturely pampering yourself without thinking about the needs of others. You are pretending that you have everything together and refusing to even consider that there might be something you need to deal with deep within you.

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}
All the two planets patterns today involve the Moon and are listed 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 12:24 PM, peaking at 2:24 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Virgo. This 4 hr period brings a good interaction between your mind and emotions helping you to both think and feel clearly. This is a good time to be working on important projects.
Starting at 4:12 PM, peaking at 6:12 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Taurus. In this 4 hr period there is a sense of emotional openness and expansion within you. This can feel either good or bad depending on what your general feeling at the time is.
Starting at 9:17 PM, peaking at 11:17 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Libra. In this 4 hr period you may find yourself more prone to be emotionally worked up. Doing something active will use the energy in a constructive way. Take a walk even if it’s just around the block or down the hall, do some squats, run in place, anything that uses the excess energy that is floating around right now.
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 2:50 AM EDT on September 23, the Fall Equinox occurs as the Sun entered Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. At the Fall Equinox day and night are of equal length and we are moving towards the shorter days of Fall and Winter. This vibrational pattern is showing the Sun in relationship to Neptune and Pluto bringing a compulsive focus on your dreams and ideals and the potential for them to flow into realization in harmony with other people. There is a lot of mental energy with the potential to learn and develop new ideas and to try to act on your ideas and possibly get frustrated and angry if you are opposed. The desire is to bridge the gap in understanding and transmit to others what you have learned. There is also the potential for expanding your spiritual understandings during the Fall. The Sabian symbol for the Sun-Moon relationship is “Two Fairies on a Moonlit night” You may discover two amazing, wonderful magical potentials illuminated in the darkness within you, the sensitive receptive potential and the potential to act in effective ways that bring your dreams to life, showing you that you are capable of being more than you ever dreamed of. On the flip side you may be misunderstanding what you are perceiving and getting caught up in illusion and fantasy which can result in being confused and irresponsible.
At 3:32 PM EDT on September 22, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on September 29. This vibrational energy pattern is about acting effectively in a big way. You can sense how to present yourself and your actions so that other people will be comfortable with what you are doing. There is also a deeper level to this week before the Full Moon. If you spend some time working within yourself, there is a potential to get some new insights into who you truly are and what the gifts are that you have to share with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A False Call unheard in attention to immediate service” which involves operating out of a state of personal completion and fulfillment totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged and not letting interruptions side track you from what you need to do. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Pope” which is about sacrificing your needs in order to operate for the greater good.
On September 14, 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 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: Mercury, Jupiter >> Turning Backward of Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, 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 “!!!”}
