The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Thursday (8/13/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter and Saturn joining with Pluto (0*). We return once more to the foundation pattern for this year. This is the process of facing ourselves and taking the necessary steps in expanding self-awareness that will bring personal growth. There are changes that are going to happen and we can work with them or fight them, but they will come. This core energy is combining with at this time with a sense of restless dissatisfaction and a strong sense that there must be a better place, a better way of doing things. Recognize that each of us is responsible for identifying and removing the blocks within us that keep us from being the beautiful souls that we truly are in our depths.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto
Today the featured planets are three underlying symbols of great impact this year.
It is important to periodically review these symbols and the lessons they have to teach us this year. This is about making a deeper connection to the stability that underlies reality as you perceive more of the fundamental truths that support this realm of time and space. You are learning the many genuine, precious, beautiful and useful things that there are within this realm. This enables you to continue in the pursuit of your life’s work despite obstacles and defeats.
| 25 Capricorn = Jupiter, Pluto |
| An oriental-rug dealer |
| You are displaying genuine, precious, beautiful, and useful products and gifts, offering them to others at a fair price and/or you are misrepresenting the value and significance of your products and gifts seeking to gain an advantage or take advantage of others |
| 1 Aquarius = Jupiter, Saturn |
| An old adobe mission |
| You are studying the shells remaining of ancient spiritual truths, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth and/or you are dogmatically pushing your beliefs on others, believing that you know the one and only true way, seeking to force other people to follow your beliefs |
| 23 Capricorn = Saturn, Pluto |
| Two awards for bravery in war |
| You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats and/or you are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve |
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
20 (1*) Evolving Non-linear Creative or Playful Action
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 10 – Aug 16 (exact Aug 13) Mars in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:14 AM then decreasing fading out around Midnight on August 15. This vibration brings an intense focus on action with potential for that action to be frustrated and blocked bringing potential anger and violence. The best way to deal with this is to disengage and distract yourself if your anger starts to build and work on accepting that you can’t do everything that you want to do.
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 6:33 PM, peaking at 8:33 PM, the Moon in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Leo. This 4 hr period brings a balance of mental and emotional energies that is excellent for working on current projects.
Starting at 11:16 PM, peaking at 1:16 AM on August 14, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is about your dreams and the opportunity to take an action to bring them closer to being real in your life.
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 Third Quarter Moon was on August 11 with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Taurus. This vibration will be influencing you until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibration is very creative especially when you are working with others in creative projects. You need to take care that you expand in reasonable ways or the project may lose its focus and get out of balance. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The Zuni sun worshipers” which is about letting the fire of the divine shine through you more clearly connecting you into the universal awareness even during stress helping you to remember that all life is sacred. The Moon symbol is “Wind, clouds and haste”. This is about recognizing that you are going through changes and opening yourself up to the flow of those changes.
On August 3 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibration is intensely spontaneous and attracted to finding new beautiful relationships. These may but are not necessarily romantic relationships. There is a strong need for freedom and a strong likelihood that you will react in this vibration. You may be prone to sense things intuitively and react to them without realizing initially what you are reacting to. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An evening lawn party” which is encouraging you to branch out into new places and expand your awareness. The Moon Symbol is “People on stairs graduated upwards”. This is about recognizing that there are many levels of awareness and seeing clearly what you have learned and that you still have a lot to learn.
On July 20 the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibrational pattern brings a sensitivity to what those around you are experiencing with a strong desire to take action that will lead to a better future for everyone. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Muse weighing twins”. This is about recognizing that you consider all the factors and collect as much information as you reasonably can and then you make an intuitive decision about which way to go. You are warned to not seek perfection, it will keep you from making a decision and doing what needs to be done.
The Eclipse Season was from June 4 through July 5 and the patterns of this season will be in effect at least until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. The Eclipses begin by helping us to recognize that there is something special within each of us and that it is important for each of us to communicate our ideas clearly recognizing that there is a give and take to life as we share with each other. It then reminded us that we need to be adaptable and realize that we are being called to a new orientation to life. Each of us need to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves to more effectively respond to the demands of ourselves and our world. We need to develop a bigger focus that encompasses all of the universe recognizing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves while at the same time being open to ancient truths that may contain wisdom that will help us to be more aware and more effective.
The Sun entered Cancer on June 20. This is the Summer Solstice, one of the 4 seasonal turning points for the year. This will be influencing us for 3 months until the Fall Equinox on September 22. This vibration is about working things through in your mind and then acting on what you figure out. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “Winter Frost in the Woods”. This is about each of us having all the excess trimmed away so that we can connect in with the bare essential structure within us and connect in with our innate strength. You deal with feelings of fear and loss by connecting into the core of yourself, the spiritual center of your being. This leads to you opening yourself up to the wonder and mystery of life and developing a greater awareness of your connection with others.
The Retrograde Diary: No DEGREE CHANGES today
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Jupiter, 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.}
