The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Sunday (8/28/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Mercury and Saturn (0*). There are two vibrational patterns today that are equally influential. You will tend to pick the one that resonantes the strongest with you. The first is the Sun, Mercury and Saturn which is seeking to analyze your internal essence, probing deep within to find what is the most essential, most true way you can express yourself. You will also tend to work with others and help them to connect into the essential essence within them. The second pattern relates to your motivations and drives and effective action taken based on them. This pattern involves operating out of your own view of life and the world, not following the structures others form for how to live and understand life. You may have sudden moments of beauty bursting into your mind bringing instantaneous understandings and insights. (For VA Students: 13, 26 || 4, 8)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Saturn >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing that you have distorted some of the aspects of yourself, by not accepting part of what you are and you’re clearing out your distortions, and beginning to embrace and enjoy the aspects of yourself that you have rejected in the past. You are experiencing a sense of something from deeper Spirit levels that takes temporary form within you and lets you make a light connection with Spirit for just a moment. You are learning to see the invisible and effectively penetrating into deeper and more mysterious levels of yourself and of what is around you through your imagination; reintegrating with the rejected aspects of yourself and your world. You are learning about the fundamental energies that are at the root of life that support all we do here on earth. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are rejecting some of your greatest gifts and insights out of fear of facing your distortions or fear of the reaction of those around you. You are denying the natural feelings within you and maintaining a cold rational demeanor. You are using your imagination to escape from reality; losing touch with yourself and what is around you and getting caught up in delusions. You are rejecting any indications of deeper patterns within you and blaming others for your problems.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Aug 27 – Aug 29 (exact Aug 28) Venus in Leo is opposing Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:27 PM then decreasing fading out around 9 AM on Aug 29. This vibration is about you evaluating everything around you, recognizing and embracing the foundational essence of the things you are dealing with and disgarding anything that is superficial or ephemeral. This is especially focused on relationships with others and you are likely going to become closer in some relationships and separate from others.
Aug 24 – Aug 29 (exact Aug 27) the Sun in Virgo is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Gemini. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 11 AM on Aug 29. This vibration is all about taking action. There is a sense of a perfect universal pattern that you can tap into and express here on earth. This vibration has a tendency to jump forward without looking at the impact the action will have for others. This can result in some consequences that were not desired or intended..
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 6:47 AM, peaking at 8:47 AM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in a natural way based on tuning into beautiful universal structures that you can use to guide you.
Starting at 5:27 PM, peaking at 7:27 PM, the Moon in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a feeling of dreaminess and vagueness as you are more connected into your dreams than into the everyday realities around you. This is a good time to share your dreams with someone you are close to.
Starting at 9:08 PM, peaking at 11:08 PM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period deep feelings within you that you have buried could affect your mood. Be aware that you may be reacting to the past rather than the present. Ask yourself if you have felt this way in the past and when and with whom. Be prepared to walk away from a situation if you get triggered.
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 27, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon September 25. In this vibrational pattern there is a very strong emphasis on accomplishing your goals in ways that are comfortable and pleasing to those around you. There is an abundance of energy available to do this and a tendency to claim the freedom to operate in the moment spontaneously. At the same time there is an almost instinctive ability to operate in ways that will flow harmoniously in your environment. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Man Dreaming of Fairies”. This is about using your imagination. It brings a tendency to see the deeper, invisible levels of the world and within yourself. There is the potential here to reintegrate some rejected aspects of yourself and your world. There is a warning here about using your imagination to escape from reality, which could mean losing touch with yourself and possibly getting caught up in delusions. The tendency with this New Moon is that it brings amazing potential if you will reintegrate the patterns you have rejected.
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 22.
The vibrational energy pattern for the solstice contains a shared potential for creative exploration. There is also a sense of shared restlessness and dissatisfaction that seems to drive people to seek something different than what they have. The Sabian Symbol for the Summer Solstice comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon. It is “A Gypsy coming out of the Forest” which shows the potential for people to move beyond their previously restricted viewpoint and become aware of a larger reality that they can connect into.
On May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.
On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awarenesses of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury
Introductory Period of Mercury: Turning back of Uranus: Reworking of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune: Turning forward of 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!”}
