The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Thursday (02/16/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Venus and Saturn (2*). The strongest vibration today is internally focused on a sense of barriers inside that are blocking you from a deeper level of awareness. There is a sense of a beauty that is so fundamental and essential that it transcends everyday life. This beauty dwells in each of us, but can be covered up by the challenges and pains and disappointments of life. Today is a time when you may see a way through to get beyond that barrier and open up to a sense of the special skills and unique perspectives that you can contribute through the way you live your life.(For VA Students: 13, 26)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
26 (5*) Moves Beyond Average or Mediocre in interactions with others
14 (4*) Quiet, Inner Focus, Abstract thinking shared with others
13 (4*) Internally focused on moving Beyond Average or Mediocre
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 basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life, developing a delicate and beautiful essence within that pattern that is radiating love, peace, beauty and simplicity, as you ground yourself and use your emotions appropriately, opening to the flow of spirit moving through you. You are celebrating the abundant fullness of the harvest within your soul, guided by the divine, recognizing that you have a responsibility to preserve that which you have gathered for the future. You are releasing old ego patterns and sacrificing your personal individualized needs to be of service to the needs of others,. You are experiencing a sense of fullness, completion and wholeness as you tune into the fertile potency within you that enables you to manifest anything you truly desire. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are focusing on conventionality and its meaningless trappings, closing off from subtle awarenesses and sensitivity, becoming shy and unresponsive, potentially shriveling up and dying. You are being surrounded by abundance and wastefully neglecting to properly care for the bounty you have been given, leaving it to rot and be wasted. You are holding onto your individualized pattern, focusing mostly on yourself, being pulled in many different directions, feeling resentful, being unable to be part of an integrated wholeness. You are being caught up in pride and possessiveness, jealously trying to protect all that is yours and failing.

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}
Feb 15 – Feb 17 (exact Feb 16) the Sun in Aquarius is joining with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:48 AM, then decreasing and fading out around 3 PM on Feb. 17. This vibration brings a sense of the importance of responding in each situation by expressing the fundamental truths that are relevant to that situation. You will find you can more quickly and clearly see what is truly important in each situation so that you can address that in your response.
Feb 14 – Feb 16 (exact Feb 15) Venus in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing and fading out around 3:30 AM. This vibration sees beauty as an ideal that you seek in your life, a vision that you can reach for. This refers to all kinds of beauty, whatever you are attracted to. This is a time to have whatever kinds of beautiful experiences that are the most meaningful to you, whether romantic or artistic or getting out into the beauty of nature. This vibration idealizes beauty. This can be an artistic expression or a romantic interaction with the object of your beauty or involvement in some natural place that speaks beauty to your soul. This vibe focuses on our dreams and how we may or may not be attracting them into our lives.
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 1:10 PM, peaking at 3:10 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Aries.In this 4 hr period your emotions will tend to expand. If you are feeling good, this can be great. If you are not feeling good, then this can be difficult. See if you can direct your feelings and thoughts to things that are pleasant and positive and you will be rewarded with some really good feelings.
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.}
At 11:01 AM EST on February 13, the Third Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Scorpio acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Aquarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the New Moon on February 20. This vibrational energy brings an intense need to expand and grow. There is a deep sense of restless dissatisfaction that is pushing you based on a view of the big picture that challenges you to use your mind to find ways to get involved in a hands on way seeking to bring about changes that will bring a deeper meaning and greater significance to your life. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed”. This is an opportunity to transform your active assertive impulses, placing them at the service of a greater awareness, taking care to keep your emotions in balance, being guided by your intuitive awareness. Make sure you are not being lopsided and out of balance with your emotions overwhelming your rational responses and your intuitive awareness being ignored. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “An X ray”. This is an opportunity to learn to look deeply below the surface and see the fundamental structures that underlie your current reality. Try not to use subtle manipulations to invade other people’s space to reveal that which is hidden so you can use it failing to understand the true implications of what you are finding.
On February 5, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Leo opposing the Sun in Aquarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 20. This vibrational energy is very focused in the moment. There is the potential for spontaneous impulsive action that can be brilliant or disasterous. Take special care when driving with this pattern. There is a focus in your community and you may find yourself more involved in your community than you have been. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A watchdog standing guard”. This is an opportunity to recognize the importance of being aware and alert at all times so that you can recognize the beliefs, attitudes or persons that may be acting to undermine or damage you while still living in a sense of the beauty of life and of other people. Try not to feel suspicious of everyone and everything around you. You may not realize how your own attitudes, beliefs and behaviors are creating the negative responses you’re getting from others. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “A nonvested church choir”. Here there is an opportunity to begin to interact with others in a relaxed and open way, seeking to genuinely express yourself by forming harmonies that are blending your voices together beautifully. Make sure you are not retiring into the background, being afraid to interact because you do not believe in your own worth or being overly critical of others feeling threatened that you will lose your position in the group.
On January 21, the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Aquarius joining with the Moon in Aquarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 20.This vibrational energy is related to being aware of how you are being affected by other people’s actions. It is important to tune into what others can tell you about their lives and you are going to act differently because of what you learn from others. You may feel a need to join together and seek a bettern answer for both of you. There is unusual opportunities for effective communication with this vibrational energy. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An unexpected thunderstorm”. This symbol is about experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality. Try not to lose control and explode emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy brings a sense of spontaneous joy on the surface. On a deeper level there is an awareness of the importance of community and concern for the places where community fails and people fall through the cracks. There seems to be a strong emphasis, this season, on finding ways to more effectively respond to those among us who are not being supported by community in a good way. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “A jockey”. It comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon and it means you are learning how to pace yourself and evaluate your situation then move forward quickly when the time is right, recognizing that the process is more important than the outcome. Try not to rush ahead without thought, getting carried away; seeking to win at all costs and finding that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon 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 April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon 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 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period for Pluto: Resolution of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune {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 “!”}
