The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Thursday (12/16/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus and Mars joining with Neptune (1*). Today’s vibrational pattern is focused on interaction and exploring with the world around us. It wants to achieve something real and tangible in the world. There is an ideal of connecting in with the natural world and really interacting directly with the world around you doing something that will create beauty. This could be working in the garden preparing it for spring planting. It could be cleaning up and beautifying an area in your house. It could also be making something that is beautiful. Among other things this pattern supports artistic expression especially with natural materials. If you are inclined to artistic expression, this vibration will potentially give you inspiration and help you work more effectively.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Mars, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. You are learning how to step back and see the pattern of your actions objectively; implementing the next step in the process in a thoughtful cautious way. You are recognizing the value of all levels of consciousness, seeking to serve and teach those who know less than you do in a gentle loving manner, recognizing that you’re learning from everything around you. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position. You are operating based on impulse, opposing those around you on a whim and depending on luck to achieve your goals. You are separating yourself from those who are perceived as having less status than you, acting like a spoiled brat and seeming to get away with it, failing to take responsibility for yourself.

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}
Dec 16 – Jan 1 (exact Dec 24) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 12 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:16 AM on Dec 24 then decreasing fading out around 4 AM on Jan 1. This is a major vibrational pattern that is occurring at this time for the third and final type in this cycle. It is about the need to operate your own way and not follow the crowd. It can involve rebellion and other disruptive behavior. It is extremely independent and not susceptible to influence.
Dec 8 – Dec 28 (exact Dec 11, 25) Venus in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is backing off from a conjunction for awhile and then it peaks again Dec 25 while Venus is retrograde, then it decreases fading out around 5 AM on Dec 28. This vibration is about intense compulsive feelings of attraction. This is especially strong as it goes on both before and during the Venus Retrograde. There is a sense of beauty that is so compelling, it is irresistible. Be aware that intense attractions you feel during this time and likely to fade after this pattern finished.
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quicker Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a short window of time around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 4:28 AM, peaking at 6:28 AM, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period takes you deep inside yourself. There is the potential for connecting with an internal pattern of distress or disturbance that you may be able to release.
Starting at 6:14 AM, peaking at 8:14 AM, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is about connecting in on a soul level with those that you are closest to. There is a desire to be with them.
Starting at 9:08 AM, peaking at 11:08 AM, the Moon in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This 4 hr period needs to expand and is optimistic about the results of your actions and about your capabilities. It is not always realistic.
At 3:42 PM the Moon enters Gemini bringing 2 ½ days where your mood may be light hearted and you may just feel like exploring your world especially in combination with spending time with friends. This is a wonderful time to stop and smell the roses or walk down the main drag in your town go into some of the shops you have never been in to just learn what they are doing. You may discover something really exciting.
Starting at 6:56 PM, peaking at 8:56 PM, the Moon in Gemini is opposing Mars in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period is about interaction with others emotionally and it challenges you to use your energy in your interactions with others in constructive ways.
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 10 the First Quarter Moon Phase was exact with the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Pisces. This will be influencing us for a week until the Full Moon on December 18. This vibrational pattern takes us to the depths of our beings giving us the chance to discover the beauty in our depths and the beauty of our connection to all that is. There is a challenge here to connect in with the primary essences of our beings. This vibrational pattern is reaching out and exploring and interacting, seeking to connect and build understanding and act based on this greater awareness. It also contains a lot of sensitivity to what is happening to those around us. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Men Cutting through Ice” which is about cutting through the frozen patterns within you and releasing the underlying emotions and feelings so you can deal with the issues involved before they become disasters. The Moon Symbol is “A Table set for an Evening Meal”. This is about opening up in gratitude and giving thanks for what you have, trusting the greater whole that you will receive what you need each day.
On December 4, a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This is the final event of this eclipse season. It will be influencing us at least until the start of the next Eclipse Season on April 30, 2022. There is a special emphasis in this Eclipse on evaluating the patterns we are living by. It is especially important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the ways that we have been understanding the world. There is a restlessness and a need to move out and find a different world that will work more effectively and be more satisfactory. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Widow’s Past brought to Light”. This is about facing your past actions, the destructiveness, and blindness that you have been involved in and taking responsibility for them. The emphasis is on working on the distorted patterns within you, making amends, and forgiving yourself and others so that you can make a new beginning.
On November 19, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus opposing the Sun in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 30, 2022. This Vibrational Pattern involves the Sun and Moon especially strongly interacting with Mercury. This shows that emotional patterns and history will be very important during this next 5 months. There is a focus on creating programs, concepts that are acceptable to everybody involved. There is also an awareness of the needs of people and how they are or are not being met. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The King of the Fairies approaching his Domain” which points to the importance of understanding your true essence, the domain within the core of your being where you’re truly and confidently in command of yourself. If you are not in touch with the core of your being you may try to use control to prove your superiority. The Moon Symbol is “A Woman pursued by Mature Romance”. This is about participating in a mature type of love that involves a greater awareness of your interconnectivity to others. There is a warning to not closing down to love because you are being guided by social expectations of what love means and what types of love are permissible.
The Fall Equinox occurred on September 22 as the Sun entered Libra with the Moon in Aries. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This vibrational pattern has a strong emphasis on the way the past is affecting us. There is the potential to get a broader understanding of how we are being influenced by the past and the potential for sudden insights and shifts to occur. There is a need to reconcile the past with the present and to face the way we have been being influenced by past patterns. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “The Gate to the Garden of Desire” which is about getting up the courage to move into a new state even though you don’t know what dangers and revelations you may have to face. There is a danger in withdrawing that you will never be able to reach your dreams.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Turning Back of Venus: Reworking of Uranus: Turning Forward of Neptune: Resolution 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!”}
