The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Uranus clear of any shadow for three days (May 22-24). This is an unusually long period of clarity for Uranus
Be very aware! There is a higher potential for accidents today.
Today, Sunday (5/24/2026), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus and Mars joining with Jupiter (0*). Although this vibration is weak, it is still clearly more focused than any other. This vibrational energy pattern is about responding to the uncertain situations around you by turning into your intuition and taking the risk involved in acting on your intuition. This is about tuning into what you are attracted to, the thing which is beautiful to you, and taking action to help it grow and expand in a big way. This is the time to go for it. For VA Students (23)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by you seeking to follow the underlying universal pattern behind the everyday world as you are developing yourself as a unique individual and encouraging others to do the same embracing the adventure you are on as you are reaching into the far distance and seeking something amazing
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
7 (1*) Quiet, introverted, meditative, observant, forming own internal reality and belief structure
31 (1*) Operating out of your unique worldview without compromise skeptical of simplistic answers to life’s fundamental questions
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Mars, Jupiter >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are connecting in with new levels of awareness within you that still feel uncomfortable, going ahead and delightfully experiencing these newly developing levels, displaying them for everyone to see. You are recognizing that there is a greater life that you live that transcends this realm of time and space, where you remain connected even beyond death and that you can embrace both this earthly realm and that greater life. You are connecting with others in a respectful harmonious exchange of ideas, engaging in rigorous reevaluation of everything in a search for greater meaning.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are letting your feelings of discomfort and insecurity keep you from developing the new potentials that you sense within you. You are being caught up in a raw sense of loss and grief that is blocking your awareness of the oneness and harmony of the spiritual realm. You are being sure you have the true and final answer, refusing to listen to other people’s ideas, holding rigidly to your interpretation of everything.

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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
May 24 – May 27 (exact May 26) Mars in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Aquarius. This energy begins to influence us around 5 PM on May 24 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:02 AM on May 26 then it is decreasing fading out around 8 AM on May 27. This vibrational energy pattern brings an intense drive to make the changes needed to accomplish your goals. There may be a feeling of great compulsion that is surging up inside of you demanding that you express yourself.
May 23 – May 25 (exact May 24) the Sun in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Aries. This energy begins to influence us around 9 PM on May 23 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:22 PM on May 24 then it is decreasing fading out around 11:59 PM on May 25. This vibrational energy pattern brings the opportunity to share visions and dreams with your friends and family, those who are closest to you.
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 4:06 AM, peaking at 6:06 AM, the Moon in Virgo is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Gemini. This 4 hr period involves your emotions and moods stimulating your mind and results in you needing to balance your mind and emotions in order to act in clear constructive ways. It is important for you to pay attention to your feelings and your thoughts on whatever is happening now and remember to think before you act.
Starting at 6:54 PM, peaking at 8:54 PM, the Moon in Virgo is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Cancer. This 4 hr period brings a sense of emotional expansion and optimism and a desire to reach out and interact with others socially.
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 May 23, the First Quarter Moon Phase was reached with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Gemini. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on May 31, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about taking action to express your way of looking at the world, pushing this out without regard to how others will handle it. You strongly need to be yourself whatever the consequences. You may get pushback if your communication is not relevant to the people around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The Garden of the Tuileries” which is about you having a beautiful model for organizing the gifts within you. There will likely be problems if you use these patterns to pretty up or rationalize deeper internal patterns of distortion. The Symbol for the Moon is “Two Angels bringing Protection”. This is an opportunity for you to open up to the protection of the divine as you are connecting with an inner sense of guidance that brings you help and assistance. If you do not open up you may experience feelings of being lost and alone.
On May 16, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on June 14, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is focused on making shifts in our ways of operating within ourselves and with the world. There is an opportunity here to shift our personal awareness into to new frame of reference that previously felt foreign to us. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which is about refocusing the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself finding the value of love and gentleness and realizing that you are yearning to connect into the buried beauty within you. To continue forging ahead seeking to assert your will and operating from your own desires without thought for how it affects other will not be a profitable mode of operation at this time.
On March 20, the Spring/Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us at least until the Summer/Winter Solstice on June 21, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is especially focused on finding ways to share your sense of life with other people. There is a strong desire to support good positive connections to society and to seek to communicate your sense of how to live in society in a way that works for everyone. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon relationship at the Spring Equinox is “A Pugilist entering the Ring” which is about having a strong sense of yourself as a person who is willing to stand up for yourself and fight for what you know and believe in no matter what the opposition. If you fail to effectively defend your point of view you will have to deal with the consequences.
On March 3, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse, on August 28, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse, on August 28, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about stepping back and seeing the big picture. There may be a lot of emotional activity connected with this eclipse. There is also the potential for exceptional communication that can be very effective. This pattern shows that there is a potential to act out of your personal concepts without taking other people into account. There are hidden things going on that have the potential to be revealed and cause a big shift in understanding. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Sword in a Museum”. This presents a choice. You can lay aside the use of force to gain your ends and embrace love and peace, both within yourself and in your interactions with others. Or you can hold grudges and be ready to fight others at any sign of opposition. Or you can give up in defeat and feel worthless and useless. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Strong Hand supplanting Political Hysteria”. Here the power of your personality and your spiritual awareness is acting to calm the situation down. Alternatively, you are being too timid and afraid to take action, losing the opportunity to gain control; or using your power and energy to manipulate the reactions of others for your personal gain.
On February 17, the Solar Eclipse (a New Moon) occurred with the Moon and Sun in Aquarius. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse, on August 12, 2026.This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a sudden unexpected change that surprises everyone. The energy is focused on internal evaluation of the patterns that you are seeing around you with you seeing what changes are needed to reestablish a flow within the social structure. There is the capacity here to take the actions that will bring about that change. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “Butterfly emerging from Chrysalis”. This speaks of emerging from a long period of suspended confinement within a transformative cocoon. You are discovering that you have experienced a complete metamorphosis of your personal self in this time period. The key is to open up to new and different experiences and not hold onto the old limited form.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES: Uranus clear of any shadow for three days (May 22-24) >> Introductory Period of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Backward of Pluto: Resolution of Jupiter. {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 “!!!”}
