The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
 
Today, Sunday (8/9/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Saturn and Uranus (2*). This vibration is turned inwards focusing on what is going on within you on a deeper level.  This is an important day to spend some time by yourself actually facing what is within you.  The questions today are what are you doing with yourself and within yourself?  Are you operating in your life in a way that is true to who you really are? Is what you are and what you are doing going to have any significance in five years or ten years or fifty years? There is a challenge here to spontaneously express who you are and at the same time to live a meaningful life.  How do you feel about the way you are living your life?

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Saturn and Uranus
The message from the featured planet positions is that you need to imagine yourself suspend high in the air where you can get an overview, a more objective perspective on the commitments and patterns around you so that you can enter into more profound levels of spiritual awareness where you can recognize the true spiritual messages you are receiving. This will show you where the difficulties are within you, what the frozen patterns are that are blocking you and keeping you from opening up to the nourishing energy and blessings the divine is offering you right now.
 

2 Cancer = Venus (with Saturn)
A man suspended over a vast level place
You are rising up to get an overview, a broader, more objective perspective on the commitments and patterns around you and/or you are disconnecting from your feelings as you step back and thus being unaffected by the situations around you and losing touch with the reality of everyday life
28 Capricorn = Saturn
A large aviary
You are entering into more profound levels of spiritual awareness, recognizing the spiritual messages in all that is around you, seeking to sort true messages from the surrounding noise as you recognize the limitations of your current experiences and/or you are being caught up in much busyness without any sense of organization within a confined space; pretending you’re free
3 Cancer = Venus (with Uranus)
A man all bundled up in fur leading a shaggy deer
You are setting out to explore in detail the difficulties and frozen patterns that are blocking your access to resources within and around you using all the precautions you can in a risky situation and/or you are being caught in cold and forbidding circumstances that you have created yourself where you find yourself lost and isolated without support
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 AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
7 (3*) Silence, Internal focus, Introversion, Turning Inward
 
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  9 – Aug 11 (exact Aug 10) Mercury in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 10 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:52 AM on August 10 then decreasing fading out around 8 PM on August 10.
 
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 9:44 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:44 PM yesterday, the Moon in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is expansive and optimistic even inclined to over exaggerate one’s capabilities, so it is better to not make any serious commitments right now.

Starting at 2:35 AM, peaking at 4:35 AM, the Moon in Aries is joining with Mars in Aries. This 4 hr period is very energized and it is important to expend this energy physically as exercise or sports or other physically demanding activities. There is some tendency here to become frustrated if the energy builds up possibly finding expression as anger.
Starting at 5:37 AM, peaking at 7:37 AM, the Moon in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period takes you deep inside yourself showing you areas where very old stored patterns are influencing your present behavior.  If a bunch of feelings surface and start taking over, it is better to walk away than to continue.
 
Starting at 1:50 PM, peaking at 3:50 PM, the Moon in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is about evaluating your behavior and determining which behaviors are important long term then concentrating on those behaviors.

At 9:28 PM the Moon enters Taurus and for the next 2 ½ days you feel more like you are working with the world around you with everything evolving in its own way.  There is a lot more patience here and a sense of life unfolding as it should with a sense that you and everything around you change in the ways that are natural and proper.

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 3 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibration is intensely spontaneous and attracted to finding new beautiful relationships.  These may but are not necessarily romantic relationships. There is a strong need for freedom and a strong likelihood that you will react in this vibration. You may be prone to sense things intuitively and react to them without realizing initially what you are reacting to. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An evening lawn party” which is encouraging you to branch out into new places and expand your awareness. The Moon Symbol is “People on stairs graduated upwards”. This is about recognizing that there are many levels of awareness and seeing clearly what you have learned and that you still have a lot to learn.

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: NO DEGREE CHANGES today
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.}
