The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

Today, Thursday (8/04/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Venus joining with Saturn (0*). Today there are several weak vibrations and you may connect into any of them. It just depends on what you are more attracted to. The strongest involves analyzing the relationships and attractions you have to figure out which one(s) are truly long-lasting. This involves listening carefully to the stories others are telling you and sensing what is beneath the stories. Another pattern involves Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune and is about deep sensitivity and may involves some sudden insights or some feelings of instability. Then there is Mars, Jupiter, Neptune which gives the potential for taking big actions based on your dreams for your community. This is a day to just tune into yourself and see what you feel drawn to getting involved with. (For VA Students: 17 // 27).

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
17 (1*) Interest in other’s stories that inclines to many possible outcomes, such as involvement in theater, literature, counseling or personal performance.
27 (1*) Deep Need to bring peace and healing for the problems in your community

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus, Saturn
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are branching out to explore broader patterns of interaction; resulting in an expansion of your awareness. You are energizing and vibrating the beautiful jewel of your essence humbly opening up to it, singing out the beauty within the depths of your being. You are moving back, contemplating all that you have experienced, getting it in perspective and, thus, increasing your understanding and finding guidance for future actions. You are opening yourself up to new responses that have not seemed natural to you in the past, discovering new modes of self-expression. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in superficiality, appearances and social concerns, ignoring real and immediate issues. You are expecting special privileges and consideration with a feeling of entitlement because of your superior gifts. You are being caught up in memory and disconnected from current reality. You are sacrificing a true sense of yourself to please those around you.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}

At 2:58 AM Mercury enters Virgo and is there for 21 days bringing the sense of an elusive perfection that you would like to express here on earth. There is a sense of tuning into a pattern lies underneath the everyday reality that you can express in your life.

Aug 1 – Aug 4 (exact Aug 2) Venus in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 3 PM. This vibration is about hands on activity making beautiful things. This can include personal relationships as well as crafts and cooking from scratch and working in your garden. You may find yourself inspired to make something beautiful during this vibration.

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 12:19 AM, peaking at 2:19 AM, the Moon in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period you may feel a need to act based on deep feelings within you that may come to the surface at this time. Ask yourself whether you are responding to the past or the present. Try to not put past feeling on the people you are currently interacting with.

At 7:47 AM the Moon enters Scorpio For the next 2 ½ days the Moon in Scorpio can tend to get very emotionally intense. The desire is to merge with the people 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.

Starting at 6:29 AM, peaking at 8:29 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Virgo. This 4 hr period brings a focus on thinking and communicating those thoughts, so writing down your thoughts, and possibly communicating what you are thinking about in a discussion or just sitting and thinking for a while would be profitable. This has the emotions and the mind interacting well and is a good time to work 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 July 28, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on Aug 27. This vibrational pattern brings a focus on your own internal world and may well be a time of withdrawal. You may find yourself needing more time to yourself than usual in order to keep your internal balance. At the same time there is the indication of a need to expand either your own awareness or your connections with the greater world. The Sabian Symbol for the new moon is “An Old-Fashioned Woman and an Up-To-Date Girl”. This is about needing to balance tried and true patterns with new innovative patterns looking for the most effective and wisest course of action. There is a danger of becoming so attached to a particular point of view that you feel threatened by anything that challenges it.

On June 21 the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22. The vibrational energy pattern for the solstice contains a shared potential for creative exploration. There is also a sense of shared restlessness and dissatisfaction that seems to drive people to seek something different than what they have. The Sabian Symbol for the Summer Solstice comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon. It is “A Gypsy coming out of the Forest” which shows the potential for people to move beyond their previously restricted viewpoint and become aware of a larger reality that they can connect into.

On May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.

On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awareness of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.

The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: None Turning back of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Reworking of Saturn: Turning forward of 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 “!”}
