Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report
by Linda Berry and Starlene Breiter
The Strongest Vibration today comes from Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto (1*) combining together. This is the second day that this pattern is the strongest influence we are feeling. There is a strong sense of dissatisfaction and restlessness. You feel a need to cut out anything that interferes with your moving into a place that is more satisfying than your current life. You are focused on the things that are not working well, the things that are not meeting your needs. You want to cut those things out of your life. You need to step back enough to be aware of the things that are meeting your needs and how you would be unhappy if those needs were not met. You have the capability right now to evaluate and organize things and formulate a plan of action for moving yourself into a more satisfactory life. The need to take action on this dissatisfaction is growing.

The Mood of the Day
The Leo Sun starts to form a square with Jupiter in Scorpio about 4 PM today. This aspect does not peak until tomorrow, August 6th, and lasts through August 7th. This can create some tension in your own personal philosophy. You might question yourself, are you truly really living the live you want to live? This is a good energy in that it can help shed some light onto the things that you really do want in your life, and you are then presented the opportunity to make changes if you do desire. Things to think about are: What is my personal philosophy? Am I truly living it? Can I make some changes for the better? Think outside the box on this one and you might find yourself pleasantly surprised in what comes to your mind.
Mars in Aquarius made a peak in a square with Uranus in Taurus on Wednesday, August 1st. This aspect has lingered on since then, but it finally leaves us about 8 PM tonight. The energy of Mars square Uranus came into the picture for us, the first time in the middle of May. This is when both Mars and Uranus were moving direct. Mars has since retrograded and is now crossing over Uranus once again. This aspect will also appear to us again, peaking on September 18th. This is because Mars turns direct once again (in August) and crosses over the path of Uranus for a third time in September. The reason this is mentioned is because this is an unfolding cycle that we are going through. Think back to mid-May and look at what was going on during that time. It will be connected to this time, on an energetic level. You can understand this transit deeper and the meaning of this transit further, if you make the association and how this is affecting you personally. Mars making a square to Uranus brings about a feeling of electricity and energy soaring through the air. You really need to keep your focus on not creating any accidents for yourself, as this aspect is going on. People could be high strung and dealing with intense situations. You might see that seeping out of yourself or others, in frustrating ways. Being in the present moment, every moment, is the way to keep yourself focused and calm. Enjoy whatever it is that you are doing, even the mundane things that you do. Things that are everyday things are great practice to live in the present moment. When shopping for groceries or taking the bus home, find the appreciation in that moment that you are in. By doing this, you will really utilize this energy to give you a perspective about living in the present moment, more often. This is important, because when you really think about it, we only have the present moment.
Saturn in Capricorn started to form a trine with Uranus in Taurus on Wednesday, August 1st. This aspect never actually comes to a peak because Saturn is retrograde right now, then Uranus goes retrograde August 7th, but this aspect is intense all the way through! It slowly loses some strength until the second week in August. Then it starts to pick up again, until about September 5, when it finally starts to lose strength again. This aspect lasts until the third week in September before finally leaving us. This is a positive aspect that can help you to achieve the results that you want to achieve, when other times you may have wanted to achieve something and have not made it. You are asked to focus yourself on being in the present moment and to let go of anything that is not necessarily long lasting to you too.
{The remaining aspects to mention today are aspects to the Moon. Moon aspects are more like moods, than life-changing alterations/situations. Since they are two planet Moon patterns they only last a couple of hours on each side of their peak times.}
The Moon in Taurus comes to a square with Mercury in Leo at 2:58 AM. This can have you feeling restless or even worrisome. If you are asleep, you might have one of those fast paced dreams that feel like you are scattered and not quite focused on what is going on in the dream. Journal it down when you awaken, if so. Following, the Taurus Moon comes to a trine with Pluto in Capricorn at 3:02 AM. This can be a romantic or pleasant energy. You feel as if there is a sweet connection with the person of your affection. This could also translate into a dream about something you have hidden down inside. In the evening, the Taurus Moon comes to a trine with Venus in Virgo at 7:46 PM. This has you feeling harmonious about the things that you love. You are feeling affectionate and happy too. Ride this sweet wave! After this aspect peaks the Moon enters into a short void-of-course phase until she moves into the sign of Gemini at 9:32 PM. The Gemini Moon has us feeling curious about everything! Enjoy exploring your world during the Moon in Gemini time. Tomorrow, right after midnight at 12:08 AM the Gemini Moon makes a trine with Mars in Aquarius. It is mentioned here because it starts to come into focus about 10 PM today (Sunday night). This aspect is one that is fun and harmonious, it is also energetic. Therefore you might find yourself up late tonight! Do something to spend your energy early in the night if you can.
Longer Term Vibrations that need to be considered.

The Third Quarter Moon was on August 4 and this pattern will be influencing us until August 11 when the next Solar Eclipse and New Moon occurs. This brings a sense of awareness of our dreams and visions and feelings of restlessness and dissatisfaction that drive an intense need to actively change whatever is necessary to bring about the realization of those dreams. The Sun’s Sabian Symbol is “An old sea captain rocking” and the Moon’s is “A man handling baggage”. The challenge this week is to step back and get an overview, get a sense of perspective, see what within you is interfering with your manifesting your dreams. Do you think you don’t deserve them? Do you think you are not able to be successful? What are the risks you would have to take to make your dreams come true? See if you can see where your attitudes and negative beliefs about yourself and negative self-talk are undercutting your ability to manifest your dreams. Then change those negatives by changing your self-talk. Whatever you think that is negative, see if you can figure out the positive you are denying and tell yourself that instead, any time you sense the negative rising up within you, reverse it and give yourself a positive message instead.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse was on July 27 and it will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 11 which is a Solar Eclipse. This is a very active pattern that is about reevaluating how you act on your feelings every day. Are you aware and recognizing that feelings may be about the past rather than the present and you do not need to express every feeling you have? All feeling do not require action. For example, if you are angry with someone and “wish they were dead”, you do not go out and make that happen. Our feelings come from our history and our reaction to an event may be a whole lot more about a problem in our past rather than about the current situation which just happens to remind you in some way of that past issue. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Rock formations at the edge of a precipice” and it is about recognizing emotional patterns in you especially related to frustration and anger that are creating problems for you and that could cause you to fall over the edge. The Moon Symbol is “A council of ancestors” and this lets you know that if you will listen and be open to it, you can receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and from your ancestors helping you tune into ancient wisdom and understand how it can be effective in addressing the problems of today.
Mercury went retrograde on July 26 and will turn direct on August 19. The post-retrograde period will be from August 19 to September 2. This Mercury retrograde is focused on whether you get caught up in the superficiality of appearances or you can learnt to expand your awareness of yourself and others to a point where you recognize your innate self-worth and the worth of other people and recognize that who a person is, is a lot more important than what they appear to be. Appearances can be deceiving and you are challenged to look at the deeper truths of each person you interact with.
We are in a new eclipse cycle starting with the Solar Eclipse on July 12. This will be followed by a Lunar Eclipse on July 27 and a second Solar Eclipse on August 11. Thus we are entering a full month of change. Be prepared to go through a series of changes involving new realizations about yourself and the world around you. This eclipse brings with it a feeling of focus and discipline touched with a certain obsessive compulsive feeling about getting done what you need to get done. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A prima donna singing” which encourages us to naturally express our gifts as they come up within us without the expectation of special privileges being given to us as some kind of right based on how special we are. If we demand special treatment it will distort our gifts as they are used to feed the ego, rather than being expressed as a natural part of us.
The Summer Solstice was on June 21 and this energy pattern will be influencing us until September 22 when the Fall Equinox occurs. The Summer Solstice is when the Sun enters Cancer and the Summer officially begins. With the temperatures we have been seeing a lot of places, it looks like the Summer has gotten off to a running start. This summer there is a strong emphasis on taking action that will benefit the community and bring peace and healing. People will not be willing to sacrifice their sense of what is right and ultimately meaningful but they will value operating in peaceful cooperative ways to achieve their goals. In the midst of all this it is important for each of us to take some time out to just be in the moment and relax and play in a creative way.
Mars went retrograde on June 27(9aq13) and will turn direct in on August 27(28cp37). When Mars appears to go retrograde due to our position here on the Earth, the Mars energies are likely to go out of control if they are disturbed. In other words, anyone who hasn’t worked through their issues with anger and frustration may explode during Mars retrograde. There is also a shadow around the retrograde both before and after the retrograde period when the Mars energy may not work the way you expect it to work. The pre-retrograde shadow was from May 13th to June 27th. The post-retrograde shadow will be from August 27th to October 8th. In the post-retrograde shadow you will have an opportunity to rework your issues with anger and frustration and perhaps learn a better way of dealing with times when your actions get blocked by something or someone around you. The challenge of this Mars retrograde period is to see where you need to take responsibility for your life and your decisions rather than blaming others, to see what biases and illusions you carry within you that are distorting your reactions and to revise your understanding to see the deeper truths of each person as a unique soul and spirit of value.
