The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Sunday (10/13/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Jupiter (1*). The strongest vibrational influence today is about seeking to balance your personal drive to bring your ideas and concepts into expression in the world with your need to have a harmonious flowing relationship with the people you are interacting with. This is a time when you may be able to take big actions in ways that are supported and appreciated by others. (For VA Students: 12, 24)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by tuning into the universal patterns and bringing them into form here on earth. This process involves being adaptable and flexible, willing to shift your nature and the nature of that which is around you as well as seeing the forms around you and seeking to adjust them to reflect their underlying universal patterns.

12 (1*) Combines Challenging & Dynamic with Free-Flowing Behavior
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mars, Jupiter >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are drawing from the fountain of spiritual nourishment, replenishing yourself and generously sharing with those around you who are not able to obtain it for themselves. You are awaiting patiently the development within you of a new way of connecting to others that will enable you to operate genuinely and harmoniously. You are experiencing all the different patterns and types of awareness in life, beginning to mix & match them in interactions that compare & contrast them all in a cooperative experimental way.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are holding onto the nourishment and sustenance you obtain, refusing to share with others unless you get personal recognition or sharing too much without receiving anything from those with whom you share, becoming drained and burned out. You are focusing in the future on what you want and do not have, waiting for that desired outcome, missing the opportunities around you in your longing for what may never arrive, and potentially being disappointed when the outcome does not live up to expectations. You are pulling back from life, sitting on the edges, and watching the interactions around you; unable to connect into the flowing energy exchange around you.

22 Cancer = Mars [A woman awaiting a sailboat] You are awaiting patiently the development within you of a new way of connecting to others that will enable you to operate genuinely and harmoniously and/or you are focusing in the future on what you want and do not have, waiting for that desired outcome, missing the opportunities around you in your longing for what may never arrive, and potentially being disappointed when the outcome does not live up to expectations

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}
At 3:23 PM Mercury enters Scorpio For the next 19 days Mercury in Scorpio can tend to focus intensely on its ideas. The desire is to merge with the ideas and concepts you are involved with and with the projects you are working on. This can be uncomfortable for those not used to it as you can feel like you are being swallowed up. If it gets too much, just step back for a couple of minutes and take a breath, or even take a walk around the block to help you temporarily disconnect.
Oct 13 – Oct 15 (exact Oct 14) Venus in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. This energy begins to influence us around 11:30 PM on Oct. 13 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:22 PM on Oct. 14 then decreasing fading out around 2 PM on Oct. 15. This vibrational energy pattern focuses on a sense of attraction to beauty suddenly in the moment. This can be a feeling of beauty touching your soul and bringing a surging feeling of excitement and revelation, whether from a person or a beautiful piece of artwork or an astounding natural view.
Oct 13 – Oct 14 (exact Oct 13) the Sun in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Gemini. This energy begins to influence us around 12:30 AM on Oct. 13 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:52 PM on Oct. 13 then decreasing fading out around Midnight at the end of Oct. 14. This vibrational energy pattern brings a need to move smoothly into bigger and more expansive experiences.
Oct 12 – Oct 16 (exact Oct 14) the Sun in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Cancer. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 4:15 AM on Oct. 14 then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Oct. 16. This vibrational energy pattern is about a strong drive to take actions that make a change in the way we understand the world.
Oct 12 – Oct 14 (exact Oct 13) Mercury in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:03 AM on Oct. 13 then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Oct. 14. This vibrational energy pattern deals with ideas that you are really invested in and a desire to express those ideas in the world.
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 9:39 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:39 PM yesterday, the Moon in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with the Sun in Libra. In this 4 hr period your mood and emotional feelings are likely to be balanced and soft and you are just more likely to feel in harmony with yourself. This is a good time to engage in projects you need to do.
Starting at 11:22 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:22 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Gemini. In this 4 hr period there is a sense of emotional openness and expansion within you. This can feel either good or bad depending on what your general feeling at the time is but it will tend to be optimistic.
Starting at 5:08 AM, peaking at 7:08 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Venus in Scorpio. This 4 hr period brings a desire to feel beautiful. You will probably be more aware of your appearance and the appearance of the world around you. You may be moved to make something around you look nicer.
Starting at 8:11 AM, peaking at 10:11 AM, the Moon in Aquarius 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 moment 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 3:55 PM the Moon enters Pisces bringing a sense of the connections we all have with each other and with everything around us. A Pisces moon is very good at connecting things together that don’t look like they belong together, so use this 2 ½ days to reach out and connect with those that you thought you could never establish a relationship with, right now it might work.
Starting at 1:59 PM, peaking at 3:59 PM, the Moon in Pisces is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Scorpio. 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.
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 10, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on October 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern shows that there is a lot of emotionally based actions that are likely to be exposed to the light of day this week. There is a potential here for gathering in creative communities and developing new awareness. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Two men placed under arrest” which is about stopping operation as usual as you realize that both your ego and your subconscious have been operating in ways that are harmful to other people and to yourself. The corollary to this is that if you will not respect the rights of others and accept reasonable person and societal expectations then you must be restrained by forces outside of you. The Moon Symbol is “The Union Jack”. Here the issue is that protection must be based on respect for those protected rather than seeking to force others to follow your mold and your values. It is important to not use people’s insecurity and fear and need for protection as a way of controlling other people.
On October 2, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern shows a strong need for the freedom to express yourself as you feel inside. This involves the development of your own unique pattern of expression being within your culture but free to operate as who you truly are with the awarenesses you have developed. If this is blocked there is likely to be a strong sense of dissatisfaction where you join with others and reach out seeking to find another more satisfactory place. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Professor peering over his Glasses” which encourages you to move beyond your normal mode of perception to perceive a more comprehensive reality where others are viewed kindly, seriously and with respect.. The challenge is to not get caught up in a superior position that distorts your perception and leads to you seeing others as inferior to you where they need to be bossed around for their own good.
On September 22, the Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a strong need to live life in a harmonious flow. This is a visceral need which you will seek to meet in the way you deal with the people around you. If you feel you are trapped in a situation that is not flowing for you there is the potential for violence. You are likely to be especially sensitive, impulsive and driven during this time period. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon interaction is “A Muse weighing Twins”. This relates to weighing and evaluating the rational and irrational levels within you and realizing that they are reflections of each other. This is an opportunity to begin to understand that you need to learn to establish a balance between them based on a higher more expansive level of awareness within you that transcends both of them.
On September 17, 2024, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on dreams and ideals that last past death. This is about tuning into the long term patterns of unfolding evolving awareness that transcend the resistance of the moment. There is a major focus in this eclipse on evaluation of your motives and drives to be sure you are getting the result you want. There is also a balancing of your individual view of life against what works for everyone else. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Boy with a Censer” which involves learning how to expand your awareness and accept responsibility for both yourself and your interactions with others by modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed. The Moon Symbol is “A New Moon that divides its Influences” which involves learning how to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision. If you do not realize that everyone is connected you may start feeling alone and isolated.
On September 2, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Virgo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is permeated with a shared sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction. We are all reaching out seeking beautiful connections to others and more civility in our interactions. There is a sense of a soulful beauty that we could find a way to share together. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Bride with her Veil snatched away” which is about our concealment being ripped away and us each being forced to reveal ourselves and become vulnerable to transformative change. This is about us each making a commitment to open up and relate to those that are around us in a deeper, more meaningful way.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mars >> Introductory Period of Mars: Turning Back of Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus: Turning Forward of 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 “!!!”}
