The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Mars turns retrograde today at 9:26 AM EDT.
Yesterday and today, Sunday (10/30/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Mercury and Venus (1*). The largest energy concentration is in the featured vibration Sun, Mercury, Venus which is about personal experiences and interactions with others that involve beautiful communication. This is a lovely vibration and brings extra facility in speaking and writing. The second is almost as strong with Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto encouraging you to explore other people’s stories. Just listen to those around you and ask them questions. You will likely see implications recognizing the big picture and how these personal stories fit into a broad overview and give you a deeper understanding of what is actually happening in our world these days. (For VA Students: 1, 2 || 17)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
17 (1*) Interest in other’s stories that inclines to many possible outcomes, such as involvement in theater, literature, counseling or personal performance.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Venus >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. You are drilling out deep decay, filling in the holes, replacing missing parts, returning your structure to its proper functional form, and learning how you can continue to keep it in good shape. You are reaching out to others, sharing companionably with them, forming and renewing feelings of fellowship and bonding, breaking through feelings of alienation; as you’re opening up to healing your lines of connection. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are having problems accepting the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled or a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. You are digging in deeper and deeper causing more damage as you go by refusing to change your beliefs and behaviors in order to stop creating harm. You are refusing to connect or reconnect with others out of your fear of facing and dealing with past issues and old secrets, disconnecting yourself from those around you, leaving you with a sense of having lost some important part of yourself.

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}
All of the two planet patterns today involve the Moon and are described below.
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 12:21 PM, peaking at 2:21 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in an organic way based on a sense of objective awareness.
Starting at 9:51 PM, peaking at 11:51 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period could bring a distracted dreamy feeling when you are not really sharply focused. Instead you may find yourself day-dreaming about what you would like your life to be like. This is a good time to dream, but not a good time to act on those dreams. Wait until you are thinking more clearly.
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 6:49 AM EDT, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
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.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mars turns retrograde today at 9:26 AM EDT >> Turning back of Mars: Reworking of Jupiter, Uranus: Turning forward of Saturn, Neptune, 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 “!”}
