The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Sunday (8/23/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Jupiter (1*). This vibration is dissatisfied and restlessly seeking a more satisifactory experience of life both personally and as shared with others. This is a time to learn new things and to step back and look at the big picture reaching out to act in expansive ways that can bring new understandings and new ways of relating to each other. Below this there is a sense of creative spiritual action that you can potentially take if you tune into the patterns on a deeper level. Today is a day to get out of your comfort zone and try something new and different that you have never done before. See if you can discover any ways to make a difference in your life and the lives of those around you.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars and Jupiter
The message from the featured planet positions speaks of the importance of waiting in receptivity for the potential in the current situation to develop. You may get a second chance that will enable you to reconnect with lost opportunities as you learn to flow with and respond to others learning to discipline yourself under the guidance of those who know more than you do. You can learn to bring the gifts of the spirit into reality even though you may not be able to manage them all by yourself.
| 7 Virgo = Mercury (with Mars) |
| A harem |
| You are patiently waiting, experiencing a greater receptivity moving and swirling within you; bringing you more potential to become fertile and bring forth new life, perhaps in overwhelming abundance and/or you are losing a sense of personal worth and finding yourself mistrusting others and in competition with them for an elusive goal that you may or may not want |
| 27 Aries = Mars |
| Lost opportunity regained in the imagination |
| You are getting a second chance enabling you to reconnect with lost opportunities through the use of your imagination and/or you are getting caught up in loss and despair, failing to believe in yourself and closing your imagination down so that you fail every time you try |
| 8 Virgo = Mercury (with Jupiter) |
| First dancing instruction |
| You are learning to flow and respond to others, disciplining yourself under the guidance of an instructor, gaining self-control through continued practice and/or you are being rigid and uptight unable to relax and flow, refusing to be guided by your instructor; feeling that you already know it all and thus blocking the lessons you need |
| 19 Capricorn = Jupiter |
| A child of about five with a huge shopping bag |
| You are reaching 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 and/or you are getting overloaded by all the expectations for yourself that you and others have |

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 20 – Aug 28 (exact Aug 24) Mars in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:19 PM on August 24 then decreasing fading out around 5 PM on August 28. This vibration is about seeing what needs to be done and going out and doing it. It doesn’t matter if it is interesting work or grunt work, you just go do it. You are focused on accomplishing your goals.
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 9:35 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:35 PM yesterday, the Moon in Libra is opposing Mars in Aries. This 4 hr period is very energized with excess energy that needs to be used. Do sports or exercise or a physical project to use up some of that energy. If you get frustrated walk away from whatever is frustrating you until you calm down. There is potential here for overreaction.
Starting at 10:20 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:20 AM after midnight early today, the Moon in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is very energized with excess energy that needs to be used. Do sports or exercise or a physical project to use up some of that energy. If you get frustrated walk away from whatever is frustrating you until you calm down. There is potential here for overreaction.
At 6:16 AM the Moon enters Scorpio For the next 2 ½ days the Moon in Scorpio can tend to get very emotionally intense. The desire is to merge with the people you are involved with and with the projects you are working on. This can be uncomfortable for those not used to it as you can feel like you are being swallowed up. If it gets too much, just step back for a couple of minutes and take a breath, or even take a walk around the block to help you temporarily disconnect.
Starting at 5:35 AM, peaking at 7:35 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Virgo. This 4 hr period brings a sense of emotional balance. This is a good time to be interacting with others.
Starting at 4:42 PM, peaking at 6:42 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Virgo. This 4 hr period has the mind and the emotions working together. This is a good time to work on important projects.
Starting at 10:00 PM, peaking at 12:00 AM, at midnight, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings a lot of spontaneous feelings and a need for the freedom to do what you feel like doing in your interactions with others without restrictions or restraints.
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 August 18, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and the Moon in Cancer. This
Vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 17.
This vibration is about really thinking and evaluating what is going on inside you and around you. There is the potential here for a deep analysis that will recognize what things need to be laid aside in order for a rebirth or transformation to occur. If we move beyond our egos into a more universal spiritually based understanding then we will know what to do. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and the Moon is “Daybreak”. This is about experiencing the light of the divine beginning to shine through you, showing your true potential, replacing your ego as the source of yourself. This happens as you open your intuition and clearly see the pattern within you and around you.
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
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Jupiter, Saturn, 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.}
