The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 9:51 AM EDT on May 4, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Taurus.
For the last thirteen days and today, Sunday (5/4/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Saturn and Neptune (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is about balancing your internal sense of what you need to do with the things you experience interacting with the world and seeking to establish a flow between you and the world around you. There is an attraction to the beauty of the essential fundamental truth or essence of your experiences balanced against the amazing beauty of your dreams and visions. You are seeking a spiritual understanding that integrates these two together and then you are taking a new action based on your understanding. (For VA Students: 1, 2, 3, 4)
For fourteen days now this vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by starting something new, initiating a new activity or a new project.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
31 (1*) Operating out of your unique worldview without compromise skeptical of simplistic answers to life’s fundamental questions
9 (1*) Flowing in your desired community
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Saturn, Neptune >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are celebrating the abundant fullness of the harvest within your soul, guided by the divine, recognizing that you have a responsibility to preserve that which you have gathered for the future. You are opening up to the initial tentative pulse of creative energy within you, feeling it on a primal level of awareness, embracing it and allowing it to rise up in a flow within you.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being surrounded by abundance and wastefully neglecting to properly care for the bounty you have been given, leaving it to rot and be wasted. You are failing to open up to the tentative pulse of creation that you feel within you because of a lack of commitment to the process or being too weakly connected or being too fearful and insecure.

1 Aries = Neptune [A woman rises out of water, a seal rises and embraces her] You are opening up to the initial tentative pulse of creative energy within you, feeling it on a primal level of awareness, embracing it and allowing it to rise up in a flow within you and/or you are failing to open up to the tentative pulse of creation that you feel within you because of a lack of commitment to the process or being too weakly connected or being too fearful and insecure
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}
Apr 30 – May 4 (exact May 2) Venus in Aries is joining with Neptune in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 6 AM on May 4. This vibrational energy pattern is about beautiful dreams and visions that rise up from within you challenging you to make them real.
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.}
At 9:51 AM, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Taurus. This is the First Quarter Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 9:14 PM, peaking at 11:14 PM, the Moon in Leo is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a good interaction between your mind and emotions helping you to both think and feel clearly. This is a good time to be working on important projects.
Starting at 10:43 PM, peaking at 12:43 AM early May 5, the Moon in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Gemini. 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.}
At 9:51 AM EDT on May 4, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on May 12, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a seeking for answers that make sense on a deeper more spiritual level. Then there is a desire to act based on those understandings in ways that resonate with the people around you at the same time that you are accomplishing your goals. There is an exploration process involved at this time seeking to come to an understanding of the patterns you are experiencing both within and around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Man muffled up with a Rakish Silk Hat” which involves 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. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Pageant”. This shows you joining in a pageant where you can display yourself elaborately and flamboyantly, participating in the joy and fun of the process as you are sharing with everyone around you. It is important to be true to yourself in this process and not operate in exaggerated, unconvincing ways.
On April 27 the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 26, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern has you doing what you decide to do internally with no regard for the opinions of others. This can be risky. There is a sense of compulsive action that drives you whether it makes sense or not. There is a possibility of moving beyond self driven action into a form of exploration and interaction with that which you are attracted to that lets go of the drive to accomplish something and instead, just explores for the sake of exploration. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Sleigh without Snow”. This is about being aware of the unfolding of future possibilities and developing the skills and tools needed to meet those possible future situations. The alternative is to accept your current limitations, get caught up in your frustrations and be unable to move beyond them.
On March 29, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of dissatisfaction and a restless searching that is reaching out to find something more satisfactory. There is a sense of connecting into another level of awareness that is idealistic and visionary. This awareness can either open you up to amazing deep spiritual truths or bring a sense of confusion and deceit and betrayal that needs to be penetrated to get to the truths underneath it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon Solar Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to Immediate Service”.
This is about totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. Remaining focused at this time enables you to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On March 20, the Spring Equinox occurred with the Sun entering Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern is focused on our dreams and whether we are seeing the potential for them to become a part of our everyday life. Part of this is tapping into ourselves and being clear what kinds of dreams are speaking to us. Then comes being willing to act on those dreams and express them. This means taking risks, putting yourself out there. Remember you cannot succeed without taking the risk of failing. Count each failure as a step toward success. The Sun-Moon angle for the Spring Equinox is the Sabian Symbol “A Woman and two Men on a bit of sunlit land facing south”. This is about learning to be flexible and open. There is the potential here to see clearly how you can make appropriate choices to act either in the realm of Spirit or the realm of Matter as appropriate. You may discover competing needs within you. If you disconnect from that which is around you and isolate yourself you may experience a devastating sense of estrangement.
On March 14, the Full Moon Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern helps us connect into what we really feel deep inside of us. It encourages us to be true to those internal feelings. This can involve letting go of some emotional feelings that do not really serve us. There is a strong focus on working with others helping them to connect into the deep patterns within them that show who they really are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Inhabited Island” which is about you 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. Take care to not be putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you and focus only on yourself feeling alienated, deserted and alone. The Moon Symbol is “Mary and her little Lamb”, which is about loving yourself and those around you, operating based on love, kindness and friendship for mutual support, while maintaining your boundaries and your sense of self-integrity. There is a danger here of you or the other person becoming overly dependent on the other.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Back of Pluto: Resolution of Venus, Uranus {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 “!!!”}
