The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Sunday (01/15/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Jupiter 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 Mars, Jupiter, Pluto which involves feeling restless and dissatisfied and wanting to find a place to live or people to relate to that will be more satisfying. This energy is like a goad that pushes people out of their comfort zone and challenges them to explore new and different realities. There is an intense need to expand and grow. There is a hunger for better circumstances and the willingness to take big actions that will bring changes into your life. Today is a day to when you can join with others and try something different. The second active vibration is Mars, Saturn, Uranus which we have been experiencing for several days which combines discipline and maturity with spontaneity. This contrast helps you to have unique insights into how life works, insights that may not be comfortable for other people. (For VA Students: 11 || 31)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
31 (1*) Embracing the mystery that we cannot know and thus being skeptical of simplistic answers given to life’s questions
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Pluto >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: 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 embracing the polarization of your basic essence into two modes of operation, the masculine and the feminine, the active and the receptive, and the need for the flow of love to link the polarities together. You are working to combine two forms of awareness, to provide a greater understanding than any one perspective could provide. You are beginning to read, with great clarity, the hidden level of reality, putting aside your skepticism, opening to your intuitive awareness, taking responsibility for your impact on everything around you. You are recognizing the splitting of the divine into many facets or rays of which you’re one, celebrating the beauty of the whole and the beauty of each part of the whole. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are denying the natural feelings within you and maintaining a cold rational demeanor. You are being isolated and separated from an important part of yourself, out of touch with either your ability to give to others or your ability to take care of yourself . You are holding onto a single point of view, with all other views being rejected. You are superstitiously depending on signs around you and blindly following these signs, not taking responsibility for your life or your decisions. You are locking yourself into seeing everything from a particular perspective and missing the broad overview, tending to over-analyze everything and losing track of the essence in a study of the pieces.

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}
Jan 14 – Jan 15 (exact Jan 14) Venus in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing in influence and fading out around 3:30 PM. This vibration brings a strong need to act impulsively in the moment seeking to relate to that which you are attracted to, that which is beautiful for you. This can be a person you are attracted to or something else that is beautiful to you that you feel a need to relate to. You are likely to experience a heightened appreciation for beauty, symmetry, proportion and balance of the situation. Realize that these attractions can be very intense in the moment, but you have to give it a while to see if it will last.
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 1:39 AM, peaking at 3:39 AM, 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 7:08 AM, 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.
Starting at 8:47 PM, peaking at 10:47 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Capricorn.This 4 hr period brings a focus on thinking and communicating those thoughts, so writing down your thoughts, and possibly communicating what you are thinking about in a discussion or just sitting and thinking for a while would be profitable. This has the emotions and the mind interacting well and is a good time to work on important projects.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 January 14, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Libra acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Capricorn.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the New Moon on January 21. This vibrational energy is very intense. There may be a need to rethink and reevaluate previous positions. This is a time when you could open your mind and learn something significant. There is an awareness here of a mystery behind life that does not give us simple answers. And at this time there is a sense of the importance of recognizing that it is ok to not have all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An oriental-rug dealer”.This is an opportunity to learn to see the value of the genuine, precious, beautiful and useful essence within the core of each person including yourself. The challenge is making sure you are not operating on superficial levels where you’re failing to see the true value of yourself and those around you.The Sabian Symbol for theMoonis “Information in the symbol of an autumn leaf”.This is an opportunity to see fundamental truths revealed with their camouflage removed and recognize that life transcends the apparent reality of life and death. Avoid focusing on the ephemeral cyclical processes of life and death and believing that that is all that there is.
On January 6, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer opposing the Sun in Capricorn.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 21. This vibrational energy is focused in the mental patterns and the communication we have with each other. The mind is going to be moving and responding very quickly as it is involved in depth analysis of the situations it is encountering. There is a potential here for the strengths and the weaknesses of current personal, social and cultural situations to show up under this aspect pattern. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A girl surreptitiously bathing in the nude”.This is an opportunity to remove yourself from the control or power of others and covertly open yourself to greater contact with all that is around you. Make sure you are not suppressing your natural instincts based on fear of the reactions of others.The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “The germ grows into knowledge and life”.Here there is an opportunity to grow the germs of understanding that you have found into knowledge and a living vitality that transcends your expectations. Try not to take the understandings you have discovered and see them as the answer missing the broader implications that are present.
On December 23rd, the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Capricorn conjunct with the Moon in Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 21. This vibrational energy treasures old patterns and traditions and is devoted to the mother. There is a flow of analysis in this pattern that just deepens it and helps us all appreciate the essentials that are present. This is about sharing community energy together in a loving way. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment”. This symbol is about repairing the damage done to love and beauty by aggressive violence, healing the deep wounds and blockages within you, gaining the strength and openness to accept love within yourself and give it to others. If you’re unable to tap into this energy, you may start feeling obsessively afraid, damaged and totally vulnerable, without protection, having no place to run or hide.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy brings a sense of spontaneous joy on the surface. On a deeper level there is an awareness of the importance of community and concern for the places where community fails and people fall through the cracks. There seems to be a strong emphasis, this season, on finding ways to more effectively respond to those among us who are not being supported by community in a good way. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “A jockey”. It comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon and it means you are learning how to pace yourself and evaluate your situation then move forward quickly when the time is right, recognizing that the process is more important than the outcome. Try not to rush ahead without thought, getting carried away; seeking to win at all costs and finding that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Saturn >> Introductory Period for Pluto: Turning forward of Mercury, Mars, Uranus: Resolution of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, 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 “!”}
