The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Mercury turns direct today August 1 as the day starts at midnight. See the Retrograde Diary below.
Today, Thursday (8/1/19), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Uranus (2*). This vibe is focused on charging up your mind. It will be easier than usual today to learn something new. You may also find that you are getting unexpected spontaneous insights into things you are studying and developing. This is likely to be encouraged by getting together with people that you can work with on a deep internal level. Go into the silence within you and then share that silence with another and take action on the insights you reach either by yourself or with others. There is a deep stillness underlying this day that is there available for you to tap into. You can sense the true depths of yourself in this energy and affirm it and embrace it being more true to your own sense of things and willing to express yourself even in somewhat risky situations where others may not like what you say and do.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
23 (7*) Focusing on one’s unique orientation to life and expressing that whatever the risks
1 (1*) The pattern within you and your own capabilities serve as your reference point
The Dancing 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 first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
Aug 1 – Aug 3 (exact Aug 2) Venus in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. We begin to feel this vibration at around 11 AM and it is increasing until it peaks tomorrow August 2 at 6 AM. This vibe brings a desire to express yourself in your own unique way and you may find yourself especially inclined to express loving feelings to those you care about.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their peak time.}
Starting at 6:53 AM, peaking at 8:53 AM, the Moon in Leo is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period tends to be optimistic and expansive. This usually brings good feelings, but you may tend to overestimate your capabilities under this aspect.
Starting at 2:48 PM, peaking at 4:48 PM, the Moon in Leo is joining with Mars in Leo. This 4 hr period encourages you to express your unique self in active ways. This can involve positive actions that are very effective. Seek to keep to a positive sense of things, as this can also involve expressing strong negative emotions.
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.}
The New Moon was on July 31 with the Moon and Sun together in Leo. This will influence our experiences until the next New Moon on August 30. This New Moon has some really beautiful sweet energies with Venus joining the Sun and Moon. There is also an element of unpredictability in the energies with insights potentially bursting forth from within you giving you new insights into how everything is connected to everything else at the same time you see the unique individuality of each of us, appreciating what characters we all all. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “Glass Blowers”. This involves recognizing that the shaping of new patterns and realities requires the controlled use of your energy with extreme care and attention to detail; releasing any fears that your creation may not last. There is a warning about failing to pay attention to details and thus acting carelessly as this can result in distortions and flawed creations.
This Eclipse Cycle began on July 2 and lasts until December 26. This period is about evaluation and consideration of the meaning of your life and your actions and how you want the rest of your life to go. There is a calling for you to open up to a greater awareness and learn to assume responsibility for using that awareness wisely with humility while operating fairly and being real and genuine. This is done by stepping back and getting the objectivity that will enable you to move more effectively towards your dreams recognizing that sometimes the reactions of others to you come from their problems and issues rather than from your actions. This is about acting from your true self rather than using a façade to cover up who you really are.
The Sun officially entered Cancer and Summer began on June 21. This is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. This seasonal pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 23. The strong vibrations for this summer emphasize a sensitivity to the stories of those around us and a recognition of our responsibility for those in our communities who have more problems than we do. The base Sabian Symbol for Summer is “A furled and unfurled flag displayed from a vessel” which shows that Summer is a time for seeing more clearly who you really are. This can result in making a commitment to a new orientation or cause and giving up your old ways. If you do not connect in with the deep core of yourself you may feel unstable and very moody. The reaction we have to the challenges of this season is shown by the symbol “A big white dove, a message bearer”. This is about learning to solve your issues by receiving gentle messages from outside or inside yourself as you are opening to the spirit and becoming more clearly connected into your core. If you do not open up to these messages you may find yourself caught in a cycle of doubt and depression believing things will never improve.

Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Saturn, Pluto: Turning Forward of Mercury, Jupiter
{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.}

At the start of the day today August 1 (at midnight) Mercury turns direct. This means that it is essentially standing still on July 31 and August 1. This tends to make travel and communication difficult. Just be patient, this will straighten out shortly.
Aug. 1 – 5: (24-25 Can) Resolution: Remember to be overshadowed by a greater authority calling on you to transcend logical rationalization, open to spiritual power and learn to assume responsibility for using the power given to you wisely with humility, learning to cease operating from a sense of personal superiority and divine right; potentially abusing your power [A dark shadow or mantle thrown suddenly over the right shoulder]
