The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Uranus turns direct today at 5:58 PM EST.
Yesterday and today, Sunday (01/22/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Uranus and Neptune (3*). The strongest vibration today is a continuation from yesterday’s and it is tapping into the deep levels and patterns within us, evaluating those patterns, sharing them with others and acting on them. It is about working inside of yourself figuring out how your true self fits in with what you experience happening in the world around you. These are deep personal attitudes and ways of understanding life that are not often shared with other people. It is challenging to act based on these insights so there may be frustration and feelings of awkwardness about this process. This pattern is extremely sensitive and is likely to get sudden insights and visions and perhaps even some psychic flashes. There is a tendency here to find you have information that reaches beyond the standard five senses. You may also find yourself relating with a few other people who work on the same deep levels that you work on inside of yourself and find that you could share at a deep level with one or more other people at this time. This can be a deeply spiritual experience for some people. You are not entirely in the material world in this aspect, rather you are out in a world where your visions are real, and you can take actions based on that sense. Take care to keep a bit of awareness of the “real” world as a frame of reference. It will help your actions to be more effective. This is a notebook day, as insights that you might have will fade if you do not write them down right away, just like dreams do. Be prepared for unexpected opportunities and if one is presented to you, do it. (For VA Students: 7, 14, 21, 28)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Uranus, Neptune >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are embracing the whole of life with a love that transcends personal self-interest. You are forming a working pattern for dealing with the world that enables you to function while you continue to learn about yourself and work on your deeper issues. You are joining with others in directing all of your energy into service to others and to being a vehicle for the divine spirit to work here on earth giving yourself over to a greater power than yourself. You are truly 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. You are recognizing your failures and the damage your blindness has done to others, facing it in this current moment; accepting responsibility for the damage you have done and seeking to make amends. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are sitting on the fence, refusing to make a commitment. You are pretending that you have everything together and refusing to even consider that there might be something you need to deal with deep within you. You are neglecting yourself and hiding away, perhaps sacrificing yourself, not feeling worthy or capable of doing anything constructive or meaningful. You are putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you, focusing only on yourself and feeling alienated, deserted and alone. You are getting caught up in your sense of pride and aggressively claiming what you desire without any concern for the effect your behavior has on others.

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 21 – Jan 23 (exact Jan 22) Venus in Aquarius is joining with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:13 PM, then decreasing and fading out around 2:30 PM on Jan. 23. This vibration is about a need to evaluate how you are behaving and what the long-term consequences of your actions are. At this time you are only attracted to behaviors that have acceptable long-term outcomes. This is an emphasis on that which is important and long-lasting. There is a sense of distilling beauty down to its true essence. There is a special emphasis here on the beauty of associations between people and of us all working to help and support each other. This is a time for gratitude for all the things that the community around us provides to help make our lives work. This is a time to remember and appreciate the essential workers in our world. How about saying thank you to one of them today? Be aware that this vibration wants to focus on and express that which is important long term and cut out everything else. It may also involve relating to the beauty of old things like antiques that have lasted long past the death of their original creator. This can be a love that is so deep that it lasts forever. This can also be a sense of the eternal truth and beauty of the eternal universal realms. Open your sense of the beautiful that encompasses all of us. Today spend some time tuning into this type of transcendent awareness.
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 1:01 AM, peaking at 3:01 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Gemini. This 4 hr period is probably going to have your emotions and moods whooped up a bit, you will tend to focus on something you want to do and really get on with it. You may get upset if someone interferes at this time, you won’t want to be interrupted or blocked.
Starting at 10:49 AM, peaking at 12:49 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus.In this 4 hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”
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 21, the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Aquarius joining with the Moon in Aquarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 20.This vibrational energy is related to being aware of how you are being affected by other people’s actions. It is important to tune into what others can tell you about their lives and you are going to act differently because of what you learn from others. You may feel a need to join together and seek a bettern answer for both of you. There is unusual opportunities for effective communication with this vibrational energy. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An unexpected thunderstorm”. This symbol is about experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality. Try not to lose control and explode emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself.
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: Mercury — Uranus turns direct today at 5:58 PM EST >> Introductory Period for Pluto: Turning forward of Mars, Uranus: Resolution of Mercury, 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 “!”}
