The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Yesterday and today, Sunday (10/01/2023),the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Jupiter and Saturn (2*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is Interacting with your interests in the world around you. This is a pattern of experience based on exploration of many things. As you explore and play with the things you are interested in you may find that an organic sense of the pattern and the relationships involved is growing within you. You may find it beneficial to share this exploration with one or more other people. Together you may find the flow of discovery is smoother and more natural. As you expand your understanding, you are likely to be able to see what is really fundamental and essential to the understanding you are developing and what is not really that important. Just let yourself enjoy the exploration and all the rest follows naturally. (For VA Students: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
25 (2*) Participation in an open, creative community
5 (2*) Playful and creative exploration
15 (2*) Free-flowing Play and Creative exploration
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Jupiter, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are recognizing that the universal Spirit of life and love is burning within you, warming your essence deep below your conscious awareness even when you don’t feel it. You are sensing that there are difficult patterns within you that you do not know how to handle, protecting yourself from these patterns while you develop the strength and support system needed to face these potentially destructive patterns. You are recognizing that there are three different states of consciousness within you, the conscious level, all the processes below consciousness, and the level of greater spiritual awareness, and that all three levels are equally important. You are starting to feel things out, connecting in, groping around and playing, seeking to develop some new ways of understanding and expressing yourself.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are feeling closed out, lonely, and abandoned which blocks you off from awareness of the light and love of the divine deep within you. You are being so threatened by the issues within you that you feel unable to function frozen in the dark unwilling to accept any help or support. You are limiting yourself to the conscious awareness of your mind and ego and denying that there is anything else operating within you. You are holding onto the issues and habitual ways you have been operating and refusing to try anything new.

9 Libra = Sun interacting with Jupiter [Three old masters hanging in an art gallery] You are recognizing that there are three different states of consciousness within you, the conscious level, all the processes below consciousness, and the level of greater spiritual awareness, and that all three levels are equally important and/or you are limiting yourself to the conscious awareness of your mind and ego and denying that there is anything else operating within you

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}
Oct 1 – Oct 3 (exact Oct 2) Mercury in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 10 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:34 AM on Oct. 2, then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Oct. 3. This vibration is seeking and working with inspiring ideas. There is a desire to work with amazing, out-of-this-world ideas that reach into levels beyond the concrete everyday world.
Sep 29 – Oct 1 (exact Sep 30) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 3 AM. This vibration will have your mind working very fast. You will tend to respond quickly in the moment. Sometimes you will have a sudden feeling of inspiration as you quickly put together seemingly unrelated ideas and then see how they actually fit together.
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 9:45 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:45 PM yesterday, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you find it easy to accept responsibility and work comfortably with others getting the things done that really need to be done.
Starting at 7:37 PM, peaking at 9:37 PM, the Moon in Taurus is joining with Jupiter in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings a time when you will feel emotionally expansive and want to share with others in a big way. Enjoy this lovely expansive energy. If something unpleasant happens take care to not overreact.
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 September 29, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on October 14. This vibrational energy is evaluating the stresses and strains in the community or group and making adjustments to gradually release some of the build up stress. There is accompanied by a sense of the beauty and value of ideas or traditions that come from the past. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Woman feeding Chickens and protecting them from the Hawks” which is about using your resources and experience to nurture and protect those who are less experienced than you. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Man successfully expressing himself in two realms at once”. This is about separating your focused awareness into two different points of attention, orientation and response where you are being able to respond in each area appropriately. This requires a detachment from the current ways you are operating that enables you to broaden your focus.
On September 23, the Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. At the Fall Equinox day and night are of equal length and we are moving towards the shorter days of Fall and Winter. This vibrational pattern is showing the Sun in relationship to Neptune and Pluto bringing a compulsive focus on your dreams and ideals and the potential for them to flow into realization in harmony with other people. There is a lot of mental energy with the potential to learn and develop new ideas and to try to act on your ideas and possibly get frustrated and angry if you are opposed. The desire is to bridge the gap in understanding and transmit to others what you have learned. There is also the potential for expanding your spiritual understandings during the Fall. The Sabian symbol for the Sun-Moon relationship is “Two Fairies on a Moonlit night”. You may discover two amazing, wonderful magical potentials illuminated in the darkness within you, the sensitive receptive potential and the potential to act in effective ways that bring your dreams to life, showing you that you are capable of being more than you ever dreamed of. On the flip side you may be misunderstanding what you are perceiving and getting caught up in illusion and fantasy which can result in being confused and irresponsible.
On September 14, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on October 14. This vibrational energy pattern has a strong emphasis on emotional spontaneity and quick responses in the moment. There is a sense of working to realize your dreams through what you encounter in the world. There is an awareness of the community you are in and of the importance of expanding the benefits of community to all the people in the community. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Royal Coat of Arms”. This symbol points to the responsibility each of us has to pass the benefits we have received on to the people who are in need. What we have gained we have a responsibility to pass on to others, to aide, to guide and to protect those who are less fortunate than we are.
On May 5, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational pattern is expansive and seeking to understand the different ways people can understand the world. This is often done by participating in a culture that is different from your culture of origin. There is a strong need for the freedom to express yourself and to act on your feelings. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which helps you connect to the next more expansive level of awareness beyond where you currently are operating. The Moon Symbol is “A Gold Rush”. This helps you find and identify the rigid patterns within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. You can break up these rigid structures and open up to a deeper truer understanding of yourself.
On April 20 the New Moon a Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 14. This eclipse in Aries emphasizes your connection within yourself and encourages you to find a way to do what you feel called to do deep within you. There is a focus on interacting with the world and exploring whatever you are drawn to. This process can be very creative. And with this vibration it leads to taking actions based on your discoveries. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A Duck Pond and its Brood”. This is about recognizing that you are operating within a bounded, limited sphere of activity where you are inter-linked with a particular group of people. It is important to realize that you are interconnected with people in a larger realm and to realize that you need to take into account this larger realm rather than just focusing on the needs of your group.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES: Venus >> Turning Backward of Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Venus {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 “!!!”}
