The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

Today, Thursday (8/20/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Uranus and Pluto (1*). This vibration has an intense need to be free and unrestricted in the expression of creative activity.  This is about sharing with others in a free flowing creative way and acting on that creative impulse in ways that respect others and their freedom. This is combined with the Jupiter Saturn Pluto foundational pattern of the year enabling growth and expansion in a step by step process that brings constructive expansion and growth.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Uranus and Pluto
The message from the featured planet positions is about accepting that you are a composite creature both human and animal and that you need to understand this all as an integrated whole. This will allow you to open to the rain of blessings from the divine spirit as you retreat today in the depths of yourself to find a more effective connection to spirit.

29 Leo = Sun
A mermaid
You are accepting being a composite creature, part animal and part human, seeking to find out how to express yourself as an integrated whole and/or you are looking to others to define you and being dependent upon them for your sense of yourself, and, thus, fail to discover the uniqueness within you
11 Taurus = Uranus
A woman sprinkling flowers
You are opening to a nourishing mist of water bringing the blessings of the divine to you right now, attuning yourself to its loving care and/or you are focusing on what you lack which keeps the blessings you could receive from flowing into you
24 Capricorn = Pluto
A woman entering a convent
You are retreating from the world to form a deeper more effective connection to spirit, sacrificing your personal needs to be of service to others and/or you are neglecting yourself and hiding away, perhaps sacrificing yourself, in order to win sympathy from others, forgetting how to enjoy life

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
16 (1*) Action from internal thought patterns
10 (1*) Evolving non-linear playful and creative interactions

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}
 
All two planet patterns include the Moon, see below.
 
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 10:05 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:05 AM, the Moon in Virgo is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Cancer. This 4 hr period is a time of close caring interaction.  This is a special time to spend with friends and family.
 
Starting at 8:13 AM, peaking at 10:13 AM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is enthusiastic and expansive. This is a good time for social interactions.
Starting at 11:15 AM, peaking at 1:15 PM, the Moon in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams and is a time when you are not as in touch with practical realities. This is a good time to share your dreams with others and see if you can work together on common projects.
 
Starting at 3:48 PM, peaking at 5:48 PM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period takes you deep into yourself to be aware of old patterns that may be influencing your reactions to events in the here and now.
Starting at 9:37 PM, peaking at 11:37 PM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is about evaluating what you are doing and whether you are being effective and moving towards your long term goals.
 
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 August 18, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and the Moon in Cancer. This
Vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 17.
This vibration is about really thinking and evaluating what is going on inside you and around you. There is the potential here for a deep analysis that will recognize what things need to be laid aside in order for a rebirth or transformation to occur. If we move beyond our egos into a more universal spiritually based understanding then we will know what to do. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and the Moon is “Daybreak”. This is about experiencing the light of the divine beginning to shine through you, showing your true potential, replacing your ego as the source of yourself. This happens as you open your intuition and clearly see the pattern within you and around you.

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: DEGREE CHANGES: Mars
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.}
