The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Yesterday and today, Thursday (8/8/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Venus joining with Neptune (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is working deep within you involved in the process of developing your internal structure and ways of organizing yourself internally. Working in a group with others on internal development can be effective as you seek to develop a flow of internal activity and figure out how to take actions based on your internal structure and level of awareness. This pattern is especially focused on being attracted to the beauty of your dreams and ideals and acting on your dreams and visions in your life. (For VA Students: 7, 14, 21, 28)
For two days now this current vibrational energy pattern is best dealt with by making connections and being involved in relationships with others with an emphasis on expression of universal patterns as you maintain a far sighted perspective.

The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing that you have distorted some of the aspects of yourself, by not accepting part of what you can be and you’re clearing out your distortions, and beginning to embrace and enjoy the aspects of yourself that you have rejected in the past. You are seeing and experiencing the wholeness that lies behind the polarized realm of time and space recognizing that everything is a manifestation of the one Spirit that is All That Is.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are rejecting some of your greatest gifts and insights out of fear of facing your distortions or fear of the reaction of those around you. You are continuing to be caught up in the illusion of many separate and distinct forms.

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}
Aug 6 – Aug 8 (exact Aug 7) the Sun in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Gemini. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 4 PM on Aug. 8. This vibrational energy pattern brings a flow of expansive interaction with others. This pattern tends to encourage social interaction and the expansion of your personal network of connections.
Jul 30 – Aug 8 (exact Aug 7) Mercury in Virgo is joining with Venus in Virgo. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 3 PM on Aug. 8. This vibrational energy pattern brings the ability to communicate in beautiful ways. Words just go together well and you will find that when you are speaking you are able to express yourself beautifully and poetically.
Jul 28 – Sep 4 (closest Aug 16), Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. This planetary interaction begins at around 3 AM on Jul 28. It does not get exact but the closest position is on August 16. This vibe is then decreasing fading out around 11AM on Sept 4. This vibrational energy pattern brings a surge of focus on your dreams and your passionate need to pursue your dreams
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 9:26 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:26 PM yesterday, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in a natural way based on tuning into beautiful universal structures that you can use to guide you.
Starting at 2:40 AM, peaking at 4:40 AM, the Moon in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a feeling of dreaminess and vagueness as you are more connected into your dreams than into the everyday realities around you. This is a good time to share your dreams with someone you are close to.
At 5:31 AM the Moon enters Libra. The Moon in Libra for the next 2 ½ days will tend to focus on the nature of your interactions with others. The Libran Moon wants to relate to others as equals and to respect others and to be respected by those around you. Encouraging this type of interaction will be beneficial to everyone.
Starting at 4:31 AM, peaking at 6:31 AM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period deep feelings within you that you have buried could affect your mood. Be aware that you may be reacting to the past rather than the present. Ask yourself if you have felt this way in the past and when and with whom. Be prepared to walk away from a situation if you get triggered.
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 4, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is about tangible achievements brought about by expanding your social connections. The most effective action is likely to be done by joining with others into an open creative community expressing independent thinking based on seeing the big picture. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An Old Sea Captain Rocking” which is about contemplating all that you have been experiencing and getting it in perspective. This increases your understanding and brings guidance for future action. It is important that you stay focused in the present rather than getting caught up in memory and disconnected from the current reality.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a potential for rebirth of the experience of beauty in our everyday life. There is a challenge to adjust and rebirth our dreams and visions. There is a strong sense of smooth flowing development and refinement of the inner self. This is a time to interact and explore on a deep inner level. This gives the potential for new patterns to form organically within you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon distance is “An Orangutan” which points to each of us sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within us. We are recognizing the need to refine and guide these forces into more mature expression. There is the possibility of distortion if you take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people.
On April 8, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings us into connection with each other. We understand more and more how the life experiences of others impact our own life experiences. There is a call to support others where they need support as we also respect the importance of each person fashioning their own life pattern. There is a challenge here to learn to work together harmoniously while still respecting each person’s individual experiences and understandings. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter”. Here we are making a tentative connection into and expressing the nurturing love that is the core of this realm of manifestation. This love is always there in the depths, if we will allow ourselves to connect into it, no matter what our situation. There is a warning here about trying to manipulate others by controlling what they need that they do not have access to on their own.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind pe ople’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period for Jupiter: Turning Back of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking of Mercury, 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!!!”}
