The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 8:21 PM on May 8, the First Quarter Moon occurs with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Leo.
Yesterday and today, Sunday (5/08/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Uranus (1*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is about the interactions and exchanges that we have with other people in our communities. There is a lot of analysis going on figuring out what is really important and foundational. There is a recognition that we need to focus on the really foundational things and let go of the rest. There are quick mental connections being developed and new insights into the issues that each person is concerned about. Then there is a tendency for each person to form their own view of what is happening and develop their own strategy for dealing with it. What this means is that solutions will come when people are flexible and willing to focus on the fundamentals and join forces with people that they may not agree with in all areas. It is about finding common interests and developing these together. (For VA Students: 18).
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
19 (1*) Analysis of conceptual frameworks shared with others
18 (1*) Interaction in Community with a Strong Need to feel Included
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Uranus
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are breaking open the façade of the formalized structures of your life to find the deep disturbances that are hidden within you. You are transforming your active assertive impulses, placing them at the service of a greater awareness, taking care to keep your emotions in balance, being guided by your intuitive awarenesses. You are discovering that you have the awareness and skills to take care of yourself and that you can protect your sense of internal integrity using the tools available to you. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are rejecting any indication of the deeper disturbances within you and blaming others for your problems. You are being lopsided and out of balance with your emotions overwhelming your rational responses and your intuitive awarenesses being ignored. You are hiding within the disguises and superficialities of your cultural heritage, pretending to be something you aren’t.

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}
May 2 – May 11 (exact May 7) the Sun in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 9 PM on May 11. This vibration brings a strong focus on activity with each person seeking to achieve something tangible. This vibration encourages working together with others on joint achievements.
Apr 28 – May 8 (exact May 3) Jupiter in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 4 PM. This vibration brings an intense need to expand and improve your life circumstances by interacting with others in ways that are mutually beneficial.
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quicker Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a short window of time around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 11:41 AM, peaking at 1:41 PM, the Moon in Leo 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.”
At 8:21 PM, 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 for more information.
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 8:21 PM on May 8, the First Quarter Moon occurs with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Leo. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us for the next week until the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on May 15. This week brings the potential for surprising and unexpected actions to be taken. Given that this is the Eclipse Season anyway this just makes it more likely that something that no one is expecting may happen this week. The Sabian Symbols for the Sun is “A Newly Formed Continent” which points to the possibility of the surfacing of a new world with different rules from the old world, this is a new beginning, a breaking of the old mold. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Houseboat Party”. This indicates the possibility of important associations being formed and expanded in a relaxed, congenial environment. There is a caution here to be aware of the people that you are getting involved with.
On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awarenesses of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.
On March 20 the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This seasonal vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 21. This energy pattern calls us to adjust our ideas of the past and history becoming aware of where our emotions have been interfering with our understanding. This brings the potential for a great deal of creativity this spring. This pattern also encourages us evaluating our understanding of life to recognize where we are being effective and where we are not and to adjust our ways of dealing with things accordingly. The Sabian Symbol for the Spring Equinox comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon. It is “A Man’s Head” which encourages us to recognize that each of us is a distinct person with specific characteristics of value. The warning is to take care that you do not over-value yourself at the expense of others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Uranus
Introductory Contact for Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune: Turning back of Mercury, 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 “!”}
