The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Sunday (10/16/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Venus and Mars (1*). This vibrational energy will likely be experienced as a flow that is so natural and easy you may not notice it. This energy is focused on acting in beautiful ways and making beautiful things. There is a sense of balance and proportion involved and an attraction to natural processes. This can be anything from an enjoyment of the rain to seeing the beauty in the natural spaces or the garden you are in. This energy tends to be flowing and harmonious with others and helps you and others work in cooperation together. This is a great time for a walk with others in nature, the making of beautiful things together, or for a deep beautiful exchange with someone you feel very close to. Enjoy! (For VA Students: 3, 6)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
3 (1*) Free flowing, unrestricted movement of energy in either positive or negative directions
7 (1*) Quiet, introverted, meditative, observant, forming own internal reality.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus, Mars >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are announcing a new, more healed internal self that you enthusiastically welcome and share with others. You are seeing fundamental truths revealed with their camouflage removed and recognizing that life transcends the apparent reality of life and death. You are working to guide the tumultuous growth within you in order to develop a beautiful, healthy structure, (this part is healthy, this is twisted and distorted and needs to be removed) even if it means you feel more exposed and vulnerable. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are blindly overrating your talents and position, turning off those around you. You are focusing on the ephemeral cyclical processes of life and death and believing that that is all that there is. You are working routinely on superficial appearances without knowing when to stop, and thus leaving a mess, where you’re neglecting your deeper needs for nourishment and love.

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}
Oct 16 – Oct 18 (exact Oct 17) the Sun in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Gemini. This vibe begins to influence us at around 1 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:03 PM on Oct 17, then decreasing and fading out around 10:30 PM on Oct 18. This vibrational energy is very active and is going to go out and do things. There is a real need to achieve something today. You will easily see ways to act that make sense to you. Just take care that you remember there are other people involved in this process.
Oct 8 – Oct 16 (exact Oct 12) Mars in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing in influence and fading out around 2 PM. This vibration is about acting on your dreams. This is a time to reach out and make your dreams come true. This is the time to take action.
Sept. 15 – Oct. 22 (closest position Oct. 4, never exact) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is a repeat of a strong pattern that we saw in the last year where there is a focus on doing your own thing and not taking into account the ideas or needs of the rest of the world. This is a very independent, sometimes rebellious, pattern that can tend to be disruptive.
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 1:18 AM, peaking at 3:18 AM, the Moon in Cancer is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Libra. 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 10:09 PM, peaking at 12:09 AM on October 17, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you are wanting to share spontaneous exciting experiences with your friends and companions. You need the freedom to be able to impulsively do what you feel like in this moment.
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 October 9, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries opposing the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 25. This vibrational pattern brings a feeling of attraction to people and items that have a long history. This can be long standing relationships or antiques that carry a sense of history in them. This is a time for spending time by yourself doing your own internal work. There is also a potential for great creativity under this vibrational pattern if you can open up to it. There may be a feeling of attraction to people and items that have a long history. This can be long standing relationships or antiques that carry a sense of history in them. Ways that the past is affecting the future will likely become clear during this two weeks. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A retired sea captain”. This is an opportunity to step back, see the ebb and flow of life, experience a sense of pattern and fulfillment and get a more complete understanding of your experiences and interactions with others if you can let go of disappointment and anger at lost opportunities, and move beyond the feeling that everything is lost and that there is no point in trying any longer. The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon is “Two prim spinsters”. Here there is an opportunity to turn inward to break free of the bonds of traditional restrictions and open up to the expression of the impulsive side of yourself if you can let go of the rigid control of your impulses. The challenge is to open up to the exuberant expression of life.
On September 25, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon October 25. This vibrational pattern has some contradictions in it. First it is expansive and seeking to act on its motivations and drives. There is a tendency to act without thinking about how other people are going to be affected by your actions. This is likely to run up against the ideas other people have about how the world works. If you are not naturally inclined to be inclusive, this is a time when you may find you have jumped over the edge of the cliff in your relationships with others. So take extra care about your choices right now and realize there is something self-oriented and irrational pushing you to not take others into account. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The Dawn of a New Day, Everything Changed”. This symbol is about recognizing a new center of awareness within yourself. You are encouraged to embrace a reorientation that causes everything to be changed. The rules are now different and the reactions of others will be different from what you expect. This is especially true if you do not adjust to the changes that are occurring in you and in those around you. If you find you are feeling fear and anger, stop and evaluate and see what the awareness is that you are blocking.
On September 22 the Fall Equinox occurs as the Sun enters Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern involves tuning into yourself and following what is within you rather than seeking to meet external expectations. There is a sense of skepticism about simple pat answers. This comes from a sense of a depth to life with a deep mystery at the very core of life, a mystery that cannot be reduced down to words.. The Sabian Symbol for the Fall Equinox is “An Ancient Pottery Bowl filled with Violets”. This is about basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life. You are encouraged to develop a delicate and beautiful essence that radiates love, peace, beauty and simplicity.
On May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun 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 October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.
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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period of Mars: Turning back of Uranus: Reworking of Jupiter, Neptune: Turning forward 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 “!”}
