The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Sunday (1/14/2024),the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Neptune (0*). There is no vibrational energy today strong enough to organize the energy field. You are likely to respond to the energy that most closely aligns with you. The first of the available energies is the featured pattern Mercury, Saturn, Neptune. This vibrational energy is about seeking spiritual answers, connecting ideas and communicating about that which is essential and vital, the foundations of life in this world. There is a sense of connection with others and a seeking to relate to and understand each other’s stories. The second vibrational pattern that you may connect in to involves Sun, Mercury and Venus. This is about connecting into the beauty of your individual worldview and communicating it to others. (For VA Students: 17 || 31)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Neptune >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are finding your inner authority, standing firm in it with a sense of inner security that enables you to comfortably listen to others and give way when appropriate. You are beginning to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision. You are 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. You are releasing your customary restraints and preoccupations gathering together the many bits and pieces of yourself to form an organized structure that can operate temporarily for the benefit of others.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are demanding that your authority be recognized by others, getting caught up in power trips and struggling with an overinflated view of yourself, demanding that other people to follow your orders. You are feeling alone and isolated, fearing disconnection from others if you’re true to yourself, failing to see the underlying reality in which everyone is connected. You are feeling obsessively afraid, damaged and totally vulnerable, without protection, having no place to run or hide. You are giving yourself less worth than you deserve, feeling that you need to sacrifice yourself for the benefit of others.

The 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 a couple of hours either side of the exact time of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Jan 14 – Jan 16 (exact Jan 15) the Sun in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 8 PM on Jan. 14 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7:37 PM on Jan. 15 then decreasing fading out around 8 PM on Jan. 16. This vibrational energy pattern really heightens our connection with our dreams and visions. This creates a reaching out to make those dreams and visions real. This is a good time to do something to make your dreams and visions a more concrete part of your life.
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 8:32 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:32 PM yesterday, the Moon in Pisces 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.
Starting at 3:50 AM, peaking at 5:50 AM, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period calls for an evaluation of your emotional patterns to see whether you are reacting emotionally to things that do not really matter where you will not remember what upset you in an hour or a day. It is about learning to let go of emotional feelings that are not about significant long-term issues.
Starting at 6:08 AM, peaking at 8:08 AM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings a sense of emotional expansion and optimism and a desire to reach out and interact with others socially
Starting at 8:40 AM, peaking at 10:40 AM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period you want to express your emotions in an active harmonious way sharing with others. This is a great time for group activities or meetings or for social sharing or for team sports.
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 11, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Capricorn. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 9, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is quite compelling. There are deep emotional patterns that may surface at this time and influence our behavior. It is likely that we will tend to think very quickly and impulsively express our thoughts without regard to how those thoughts will impact others. Our communities, the groups we are associated with are feeling very important at this time and we may find creative ways to support our communities. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Relay Race”. This is about learning to work with others with each of us doing their part as you strive to reach a common goal.
On December 21 the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 19. This is the shortest day of the year. After the Winter Solstice the days start getting longer and by the Spring Equinox the temperature starts to catch up with the lengthening days. The Solstice brings a flow of unfolding energy that contains the potential for a rebirth in our understanding of both the past and the present. There is a sense of being called to walk in harmony with the people and the world around us as we tune into what is really fundamental and foundational. The Vibration between the Sun and the Moon gives us the Sabian Symbol of “A Case of Apoplexy”. Apoplexy is an old name for something like a stroke where you are temporarily unconscious from an overload in your system. This speaks to very contradictory feelings wanting to express but feeling anxious and fearing disapproval. This is about facing that which is within you that may be inhibiting your ability to truly express what you are. You are meant to shine as a reflection of the one light connecting into something beyond yourself.
On October 28 the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on Mar 25, 2024. This vibrational energy brings a deep desire to expand your emotional connections and to learn new and different things. There is an underlying whisper of dreams of beauty and exotic experiences. There may be some tendency to project your dreams into the world and not know what is real and what is not. There is a strong need to participate in a new and different worldview that will at least give the hope of involvement in a creative community. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Gold Rush” which can represent you going out into the rugged dangerous depths of yourself and seeking to break up the rigid structures within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. The Moon Symbols is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge”. Here is the opportunity to build a bridge that will cross the abyss and connect you to the next level of awareness. This is not something we can do by ourselves, but if you ask for help from spirit, you will receive it.
On October 14, 2023 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy is particularly oriented towards involvement in creative groups. There is a desire to explore without an agenda and see what wonders you can find. This involves a passion for learning and applying what you have learned. There is a desire to expand emotionally at a pace you can handle effectively. There is also a need to go out and act and express yourself, make your life happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Child giving Birds a Drink at a Fountain”. This is about drawing from the fountain of spiritual nourishment, replenishing yourself and generously sharing with those around you who are not able to obtain it for themselves.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period for Pluto: Turning Forward of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Resolution of Mercury, 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 “!!!”}
