The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Sunday (12/18/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Saturn joining with Uranus and Pluto (0*). There are no vibrational energies strong enough to be a focus for the energy today. Instead there are several clusters of energy and you will tend to be attracted to the one that you resonate with the most. The largest energy concentration is in the featured vibration (Saturn, Uranus, Pluto which is involved in exploring the world around you in a process of creative discovery where you are sharing this discovery process with others in pleasant harmonious interactions. There is a sense here of working together to discover new and unique ways of dealing with the world. You are likely to find that you cannot accept the ways other people are defining life and the world around you. This is combined with Mercury, Mars, Jupiter which is seeking to learn new things that it can apply to life in a big way. There is a sense of reaching out for big achievements with this vibration. This is potentially a very nice playful, creative day. (For VA Students: 30 || 5, 10)

26 (1*) Moves Beyond Average or Mediocre in interactions with others
13 (1*) Internally focused on moving Beyond Average or Mediocre

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Saturn, Uranus, Pluto >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are operating in a rational, evaluative way that is balanced with intuitive awareness, experiencing a natural balance that enables you to respond appropriately in each situation. You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries. You are releasing old ego patterns and sacrificing your personal individualized needs to be of service to the needs of others,. 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. You are being pursued by a more mature form of love that you can open up to, bringing greater awareness of your internal beauty and your interconnections to others. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being obsessed with work, constantly seeking to further your own ends, focusing on being in charge and in control of everything around you. You are feeling trapped, powerless and impotent, unable to even consider that you might be able to make a change in the way you function. You are holding onto your individualized pattern, focusing mostly on yourself, being pulled in many different directions, feeling resentful, being unable to be part of an integrated wholeness. You are being caught up in much busyness without any sense of organization within a confined space; pretending you’re free. You are closing down and rejecting the love offered due to adherence to social expectations.

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}
Dec 16 – Dec 18 (exact Dec 17) Mercury in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing and fading out around 11:30 AM. This vibration is about a quick mental response with spontaneity. This is a time when people are especially sharp and capable of mental leaps.
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 4:31 AM, peaking at 6:31 AM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period stimulates an internal awareness of the patterns that are working for your long term benefit and those that are undermining your goals. It is easy to shift at this time to a more effective expression related to your goals.
Starting at 3:02 PM, peaking at 5:02 PM, the Sun in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with the Moon in Libra. In this 4 hr period you will feel a lightening of your mood with your emotions flowing easily in interaction with others. A meeting or a social gathering would be smoother and easier right now.
Starting at 3:35 PM, peaking at 5:35 PM, the Moon in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period you may feel a need to act based on deep feelings within you that may come to the surface at this time. Ask yourself whether you are responding to the past or the present. Try to not put past feeling on the people you are currently interacting with.
At 10:30 PM, 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.
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 December 16, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Virgo square the Sun in Sagittarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the New Moon on December 23. This vibrational energy is very independent minded. There is a strong tendency to form your own way of understanding how others are experiencing life rather than following the ideas of others. There is also a sense of celebration of the amazing stories that people can share about their lives. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A chubby boy on a hobby horse”.This is an opportunity to release the excessive energy and resources that you were holding on to, moving into an open flow of give and take with everything around you. Try to avoid being involved in repetitive acts of self-serving indulgence, operating impulsively without any thought for the actual consequences.The Sabian Symbol for theThird Quarter Moonis “A flag at half-mast”.This is an opportunity to realize that you have to move beyond your current absorption in yourself and let your ego “die”, moving beyond self-interest in order to respond to the needs of others. Make sure you are not holding tightly to a superficial sense of your self-importance and failing to recognize the impact of your actions on those around you.
On December 7, the Full Moon occurred with the Sun in Sagittarius opposing the Moon in Gemini. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 23. This vibrational energy has a need to go out and take action. Yet, at the same time there is a pull to move inside of yourself and evaluate what you are doing and why you are doing it. The question is especially raised – what does it mean to operate in the moment and how does one respond effectively in the moment. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Easter sunrise service”. This is an opportunity to join with others to celebrate the symbols of transformation, the death of the old self and the birth of a new self in which the divine lives. Try not to focus on the pain and losses of the past–being unable to let them go keeps you depressed and stuck in your historical pattern. The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon is “The head of health dissolved into the head of mentality”. Here there is an opportunity to learn to have your mind guide your body, developing a more mature objective perspective on yourself and others. Make sure not to react based on immature responses, being caught up in illusions of how things should be and not being able to see what is happening within and around you.
On November 23rd, the New Moon occurs with the Sun in Sagittarius conjunct with the Moon in Sagittarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 23. The pattern at this New Moon is expansive and involves dealing with the unpredictable aspects of life. There is a sense of joy and adventure here. You look at what you are dealing with, analyze it and figure out as best you can what would be effective. Then you use your intuition to sort through the analysis you have made and figure out what really needs to happen. There is an element of leaping into the unknown here with an embracing of the risk involved in truly expressing yourself. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The ocean covered with whitecaps”. This symbol is about penetrating surface disturbances, finding deep inner peace and stillness below the surface, as you begin to perceive the underlying strength, stability and permanence of the universal into which you can tap. Try to avoid getting caught up in immediate emotional reactions that keep you from tuning into the deeper stability below the emotional level.
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon 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 April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
On September 22 the Fall Equinox occurs as the Sun enters Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern involves tuning into yourself and following what is within you rather than seeking to meet external expectations. There is a sense of skepticism about simple pat answers. This comes from a sense of a depth to life with a deep mystery at the very core of life, a mystery that cannot be reduced down to words.. The Sabian Symbol for the Fall Equinox is “An Ancient Pottery Bowl filled with Violets”. This is about basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life. You are encouraged to develop a delicate and beautiful essence that radiates love, peace, beauty and simplicity.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Contact for Mercury: Reworking of Mars, Uranus: Turning forward of Neptune: Resolution 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!”}
