The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Sunday (8/2/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Venus joining with Uranus (4*). This vibration is spontaneous and beautiful. There is a need to experience beauty today and a potential for spontaneous insights. You will likely feel strong attractions today. Take care if they are personal romantic attractions that suddenly surface. This type of attraction burns hot and then burns out pretty quickly unless there are other aspects to hold it together. Be ready to follow you impulses today, you may find some buried nock that light up your soul. There is support in this vibration for sharing beauty with others as well as personal experiences. This is a great day to surround yourself with love and beauty.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus and Uranus
The message from the featured planet positions is that you are being protected as you are beginning to work in a new realm of expanded awareness, experiencing the rhythms and patterns within and around you. You may be experiencing being reduced down to the really important core of yourself which will help you develop your innate strength. You are invited to open to the nourishing mist of divine blessing descending upon you today.
| 11 Leo = Sun |
| Children on a swing in a huge oak tree |
| You are beginning to work in a new realm of expanded awareness, experiencing the rhythms and patterns within and around you and being protected by being willing to work within a limited defined part of this new realm in order to develop and integrate these new understandings effectively and/or you are branching out too far, too quickly, without enough growth and integration within you; resulting in you feeling vulnerable, exposed, and unprotected without a sense of internal balance and security |
| 26 Gemini = Venus |
| Winter frost in the woods |
| You are experiencing being reduced down to your bare essential structure; having had the excess trimmed away, so you can focus on the innate strength within yourself and/or you are being caught up in a sense of loss of light, love and warmth; with overwhelming feelings of fear of being lost, and totally isolated and alone out in the cold |
| 11 Taurus = Uranus |
| A woman sprinkling flowers |
| You are opening to a nourishing mist of water bringing the blessings of the divine to you right now, attuning yourself to its loving care and/or you are focusing on what you lack which keeps the blessings you could receive from flowing into you |

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 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 first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
Aug 1 – Aug 6 (exact Aug 4) Mars in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 1 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:06 AM on August 4 then decreasing fading out around 1 PM on August 6. This vibration is a strong drive with a lot of energy behind it that is working on helping you grow and expand either yourself or your projects. There is potential for success here. This is a time to go for it!
Aug 1 – Aug 3 (exact Aug 2) the Sun in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7:19 AM then decreasing fading out around 9 AM on August 3. This vibration is extremely spontaneous and is prone to impulsive actions that are not thought out. This can sometimes result in accidents or inappropriate emotional reactions, so try to look quickly to be sure you are safe in your movements.
Jul 18- Aug 7 (exact Jul 27) Jupiter in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 2 AM on August 7. This vibration is especially focused on expanding your dreams through sharing with others in harmonious ways and through collaboration with like minded people.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a
couple of hours either side of their peak time.}
Starting at 11:57 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:57 AM after Midnight early today, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period taps into old patterns that need to be released so that you can respond realistically to what is actually happening in your life right now in the here and now.
Starting at 2:53 AM, peaking at 4:53 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is opposing Mercury in Cancer. This 4 hr period brings the feelings and the mind into interaction with each other. This is a good time to seek to balance these two parts of yourself respecting both of them understanding that the feelings are messages from your past experiences.
Starting at 7:59 AM, peaking at 9:59 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is joining with Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period brings focused work on what is really essential. This is a good time to work on projects.
At 2:11 PM the Moon enters Aquarius and becomes focused for the next 2 ½ days on participating in group processes. We are all a part of many groups including our family, our friends, our community, our country and our world. The Moon in Aquarius finds satisfaction in being a part of its groups and contributing to the functioning and well being of those groups.
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 July 27 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Scorpio. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on August 3. This vibrational pattern has a strong emphasis on using your feelings of attraction to your dreams as motivation to act on your dreams and as if your dreams were a reality. There is also the advice that stepping back and looking at the big picture will help you further your dreams. This is a very action oriented quarter moon. However, it is important to spend some time turning inward and really getting in touch with what your dreams are and what you want to have happen in your life. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Rock Formations at the edge of a precipice” which is about release any rigid patterns inside you that you have been trapping yourself in. It is critical that you let go and open up. The Moon Symbol is “A massive, rocky shore”. This indicates that you are crossing the rough and rugged shore that borders the spiritual realm until you release some old established patterns and shift into more of a feeling of love and compassion. Ask yourself what blocks you from operating out of love and compassion and see if you can forgive yourself and let go. There is love there waiting for you to open up to it and embrace it.
On July 20 the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibrational pattern brings a sensitivity to what those around you are experiencing with a strong desire to take action that will lead to a better future for everyone. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Muse weighing twins”. This is about recognizing that you consider all the factors and collect as much information as you reasonably can and then you make an intuitive decision about which way to go. You are warned to not seek perfection, it will keep you from making a decision and doing what needs to be done.
The Eclipse Season was from June 4 through July 5 and the patterns of this season will be in effect at least until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. The Eclipses begin by helping us to recognize that there is something special within each of us and that it is important for each of us to communicate our ideas clearly recognizing that there is a give and take to life as we share with each other. It then reminded us that we need to be adaptable and realize that we are being called to a new orientation to life. Each of us need to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves to more effectively respond to the demands of ourselves and our world. We need to develop a bigger focus that encompasses all of the universe recognizing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves while at the same time being open to ancient truths that may contain wisdom that will help us to be more aware and more effective.
The Sun entered Cancer on June 20. This is the Summer Solstice, one of the 4 seasonal turning points for the year. This will be influencing us for 3 months until the Fall Equinox on September 22. This vibration is about working things through in your mind and then acting on what you figure out. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “Winter Frost in the Woods”. This is about each of us having all the excess trimmed away so that we can connect in with the bare essential structure within us and connect in with our innate strength. You deal with feelings of fear and loss by connecting into the core of yourself, the spiritual center of your being. This leads to you opening yourself up to the wonder and mystery of life and developing a greater awareness of your connection with others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES: Mars, Jupiter
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto: 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.}
