The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today (12/16/18) the strongest vibration is generated by the Sun joining with Venus and Saturn (1*). This vibe encourages you to work with others to build a meaningful pattern that has long-lasting value. There is a sense here of each person being able to express their part of the whole and have the different patterns interact in a flowing harmonious way. This vibe is coupled with the Sun interacting with Mercury and Mars (1*) to enable us to have a sense of the life that the people around us are living and this sense of others may enable us to work together more harmoniously. It is especially important today to learn about the lives and stories of those around you and engage together in building a better world that works for us all.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
32 (3*) Deeply internalized thoughts that are not seen by others but drive action
17 (1*) Empathic participation in the experiences of others like acting
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}
Dec 15 – Dec 18 (exact Dec 17) Mars in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibration continues to increase in influence until Dec 17 when it peaks. This vibe brings an intense need to act on deeply held convictions within you. You feel impelled to express yourself wanting to act in ways that will have a positive impact on those around you and on the world. This vibe will focus your energy in action and you are going to act even if some people get upset at you.
Dec 14 – Dec 17 (exact Dec 16) Venus in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Capricorn. This vibrational pattern increases in influence until 9:26 AM when it peaks, and then it slowly decreases in impact today and fades out tomorrow. Under this vibe you are attracted to things that are important, long-lasting and purposeful. You are not going to want to do light or frivolous activities right now. Instead do something that makes a difference in someone’s life. This is a good time to let those you care about know how important they are to you.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their listed time.}
Starting at 11:48 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:48 AM, the Moon in Aries is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Sagittarius. This is a time of very effective mental activity with your feelings supporting rather than interfering with your mind. You can get a lot done under this influence. Starting at 10:12 AM, peaking at 12:12 PM, the Moon in Aries is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Sagittarius. Here there is a feeling of expansiveness and joy. Anything feels possible. If you are focusing on positive things, this can bring very good feelings. Whatever your feelings they will tend to be amplified. Starting at 12:21 PM, peaking at 2:21 PM, the Moon in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. After the high this morning, this is the drop. This vibe is about evaluating your feelings and experiences and seeing what is of long-term important and what needs to be discarded. This vibration is only concerned with deep long-term meaning and purpose.
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.}
The First Quarter Moon was on Dec 15 with the Moon in Pisces acting and agitating (square) to the Sun in Sagittarius. This pattern will influence you until the Full Moon on Dec 22. There is a sense here of being involved in the lives of those around you. This is combined with a need to take action. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is “A bluebird standing at the door of the house”. This speaks to the importance of recognizing your worth and accepting the blessing and happiness you are being offered. The Moon symbol “An inhabited island” shows that you do this by grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. Thus you deal with your needs and are responsive to the needs of those around you recognizing that we are all in this together.
The New Moon was on Dec 7 with the Sun and Moon joining in Sagittarius. This pattern will be influencing you until the next New Moon, a solar eclipse on Jan 5. The core energy in this New Moon and for this entire Lunar Month is a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction. Everything is out of balance and not at all like you have dreamed it would be. The challenge of this New Moon is shown in its Sabian symbol, “Sea gulls watching a ship”. This is about the give and take of life as you act to meet your needs but let go of the things you no longer need so that they can help others. It is important to go ahead and act as you need to and not get caught in an illusion of helplessness and dependency on others to meet your needs.
The Fall Equinox was on Sept. 22 and will be a vibrational influence in our lives until the Winter Solstice on Dec. 21. This is when the Sun enters Libra and day and night are of equal length. This is the transition into the half of the year when the nights are longer than the days. The Fall Equinox pattern will continue to influence us until the Winter Solstice on Dec. 21. This fall there is a focus on interacting in a focused way with others in teams with common goals. There is also a desire to be guided in your actions by someone you respect who serves as a teacher or coach. You will tend to be very mentally sensitive and responsive and torn between your sense of responsibility and your desire to express yourself in your own way. The Sabian symbol for the Moon is “A cross lying on rocks”. This is about true awakening and the painful process of transcending the barriers within you that block that awakening. In the process of awakening you may feel like your life is ending if you do not realize that this is a transition phase into a greater awareness once you disconnect from the beliefs that are blocking your awakening.
The overview of the Current Eclipse Cycle of 3 Eclipses between July 12 and August 11. {We will be feeling the vibrational effect of the current eclipse cycle at least until the start of the next cycle on January 6, 2019. The following is the summary of the guidance from the Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}
Express your gifts as a natural outflow of who you are without feeling that you deserve special treatment. Your reactions to situations may come from problems in your past that have not been resolved with the current situation just being a trigger. 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 you face today. This will allow you to relax into an easy flow of interaction with other people where you are accepting other people and they are accepting you. Open up to your higher universal awareness and connections and let it guide you.
The Retrograde Diary: Check out changes today: DEGREE CHANGES: Mercury, Venus
Turning Forward of Uranus, Neptune: Final Resolution of Mercury, Venus, 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.}
!!!Mercury: {Oct 28 [Nov 17 – Dec 6] Dec 24} 27 Scorpio – 13 Sagittarius
Dec. 16 – 17: (4-5 Sag) Resolution: Remember to tap into a wisdom beyond yourself and gain a greater perspective being able to see through the dark sometimes forbidding circumstances around you as you pull back and separate yourself from ongoing activity, learning to stop rejecting any type of frivolous activity while you smugly assume that you know it all and refuse to listen to any input from others
!!!Venus: {Sept 3 [Oct 5 – Nov 16] Dec 18} 25 Libra – 10 Scorpio
Dec. 16 – 18: (10-11 Sco) Resolution: Remember to find yourself in over your head and admit it, accepting help in order to learn to better ground yourself and taking responsibility for learning to be more effective, being able to stop drowning over and over again panicking and losing control of yourself so that you are needing others to help because you don’t know how to control your hysterical reactions
Saturn {Jan. 10 [Apr. 17 – Sept. 6] Dec. 12} 2 – 9 Capricorn
Dec. 11 – 20: (9-10 Cap) Resolution: Remember to face your fears and move beyond superstition to recognize and embrace your common linkages with all creatures in the world, even embracing and nurturing those aspects of yourself that feel like burdens or curses, learning to reach out beyond yourself as you release your fear of getting close to that which is different from yourself as well as your fear of getting hurt through intimacy
Uranus {Apr. 20 [Aug. 7 – Jan. 6, 2019] Apr. 23, 2019} 28 Aries – 2 Taurus
Dec. 6, 2018 – Feb. 6, 2019: (29-28 Ari) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to experience the wonder of who you are as a part of all that is and humbly open to the love and affirmation of the divine, learning to stop blocking off awareness of your connection with everything around you that comes from operating out of personal insecurity and fear
Neptune {Feb. 6 [June 18 – Nov. 25] Mar. 15, 2019} 13 – 16 Pisces
Oct. 22 – Dec. 27, 2018: (14-13 Pis) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to radiate grace, beauty, and intelligence as you experience the presence of a deeply receptive awareness within you that contains an expanded awareness of, love for, and respect of all of the manifestations of life, learning to stop getting caught up in the superficial trappings of elegance without developing a truly elegant internal awareness
Pluto {Dec. 31, 2017 [Apr. 22 – Sept. 30] Jan. 21, 2019} 18 – 21 Capricorn
Dec. 13, 2018 – Jan. 12, 2019: (20-21 Cap) Resolution: Remember to realize that you cannot accomplish your goals by yourself and ally yourself with others so you can reach a common goal together, learning to stop refusing to work together cooperatively with other people and to trust something beyond yourself
