The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Yesterday and today, Thursday (12/12/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Venus joining with Mars (4*). This vibrational energy pattern is about working to accomplish your goals while taking into account the needs of others. You may spend time evaluating your ideas to see if they will really accomplish your goals and you may develop your plans over a period of time before putting them into action. You want to be deeply involved in actively directly implementing your plans and are likely to be working on making something beautiful, perhaps something that uses natural substances. (For VA Students: 8, 16, 24, 32)
For two days now this vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by working on a project until it is completed. Effective elements of this process are to connect with others and work as equals on the project at the same time that you are looking into the far distance and seeking to reach out into unknown and exotic realms to expand your project.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus, Mars >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing that your perceptions are distorted by the beliefs and visions of others and seeking to see what is really going on. You are recognizing that you’re a part of the mystery, the spiritual drama of life, humbly understanding that this life’s experiences are just the part that was assigned for you to do. You are opening up your intuitive awareness, getting a glimpse of patterns beyond your own preoccupations, stepping back and getting a sense of the awesomeness of the greater reality that includes you as a part of it.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are living in a distorted reality based on false impressions and pretending to be something other than what you truly are. You are claiming special privilege and prestige because of the special awareness and talents that you have developed, feeling that you are more important and perhaps more evolved than the people around you. You are being so swept up in great visions that you lose track of the everyday realities that would bring those visions to fruition.
21 Sagittarius = Sun [A child and a dog with borrowed eyeglasses] You are recognizing that your perceptions are distorted by the beliefs and visions of others and seeking to see what is really going on and/or you are living in a distorted reality based on false impressions and pretending to be something other than what you truly are

7 Leo = Mars [The constellations in the sky] You are opening up your intuitive awareness, getting a glimpse of patterns beyond your own preoccupations, stepping back and getting a sense of the awesomeness of the greater reality that includes you as a part of it and/or you are being so swept up in great visions that you lose track of the everyday realities that would bring those visions to fruition
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}
Dec 12 – Dec 13 (exact Dec 13) Mercury in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Aquarius. This energy begins to influence us around 12:30 PM on Dec. 12 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:45 AM on Dec. 13 then decreasing fading out around 6:30 PM on Dec. 13. This vibrational energy pattern is focused in communicating in a beautiful way. You may find it easier to express yourself well. If there is a conversation you have been needing to have, that might be difficult, you have a better potential of it going well during this vibrational energy pattern.
Dec 11 – Dec 13 (exact Dec 12) Venus in Aquarius is opposing Mars in Leo. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:46 AM on Dec. 12 then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Dec. 13. This vibrational energy pattern calls for direct non-vicarious involvement in the world around you. You are focused on making the world more beautiful by making lovely things that you can share with others.
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 6:55 AM, peaking at 8:55 AM, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you find it easy to accept responsibility and work comfortably with others getting the things done that really need to be done.
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 December 8, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Sagittarius. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on December 15, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is oriented towards taking actions that will expand beautiful feelings and seeking to balance that expansion with a sense of what the true underlying values and foundational structures are that support our lives. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Tiny Children in Sunbonnets”. This is about nurturing the new understandings that are being born within and around you and experiencing a welling up of joy within as this fragile awareness is protected from being exposed to too much light all at once. There is a danger here of overprotecting yourself and those around you, not being able to see the whole picture of what is really going on, maneuvering and indulging in infantile play, creating the potential for manipulation and abuse. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Gigantic Tent”. This can represent experiencing a greater reality that encompasses everything, passionately sharing this inspiring vision with others. The danger here is that someone may manipulate and exploit those around them claiming that they have all the answers and that they should be deferred to.
On December 1, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Sagittarius. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 30, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is expansive and helps you to be aware of the big picture. This is a time for carefully formulating long term plans that will be a true expression of who you are. These plans can be implemented at the proper time. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Golden-Haired Goddess of Opportunity” which indicates that the fantastic opportunities that you are perceiving need to be carefully evaluated and responded to appropriately. There is a potential here for opening the door to fulfillment, experiencing great success, and making opportunities available to others as well as yourself. If you do not evaluate the validity of the opportunities in front of you, you can be easily exploited by others.
On October 2, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern shows a strong need for the freedom to express yourself as you feel inside. This involves the development of your own unique pattern of expression being within your culture but free to operate as who you truly are with the awarenesses you have developed. If this is blocked there is likely to be a strong sense of dissatisfaction where you join with others and reach out seeking to find another more satisfactory place. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Professor peering over his Glasses” which encourages you to move beyond your normal mode of perception to perceive a more comprehensive reality where others are viewed kindly, seriously and with respect.. The challenge is to not get caught up in a superior position that distorts your perception and leads to you seeing others as inferior to you where they need to be bossed around for their own good.
On September 22, the Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a strong need to live life in a harmonious flow. This is a visceral need which you will seek to meet in the way you deal with the people around you. If you feel you are trapped in a situation that is not flowing for you there is the potential for violence. You are likely to be especially sensitive, impulsive and driven during this time period. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon interaction is “A Muse weighing Twins”. This relates to weighing and evaluating the rational and irrational levels within you and realizing that they are reflections of each other. This is an opportunity to begin to understand that you need to learn to establish a balance between them based on a higher more expansive level of awareness within you that transcends both of them.
On September 17, 2024, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on dreams and ideals that last past death. This is about tuning into the long term patterns of unfolding evolving awareness that transcend the resistance of the moment. There is a major focus in this eclipse on evaluation of your motives and drives to be sure you are getting the result you want. There is also a balancing of your individual view of life against what works for everyone else. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Boy with a Censer” which involves learning how to expand your awareness and accept responsibility for both yourself and your interactions with others by modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed. The Moon Symbol is “A New Moon that divides its Influences” which involves learning how to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision. If you do not realize that everyone is connected you may start feeling alone and isolated.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Turning Back of Mars: Reworking of Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Forward of Neptune: Resolution of 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 “!!!”}
