The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Thursday (02/02/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Uranus and Neptune (3*). The theme right now seems to be working deep within yourself seeking to figure things out and sharing that awareness with others usually in a group setting with a teacher or mentor.. Our sensitivity is very high. Today there is more of a focus on sharing with others in a sensitive way and being open to sudden insights that bring a different understanding or perspective on what is happening. There is a need here to act perhaps in a sensitive and aware way. There is the potential for visions and dreams with this energy. (For VA Students: 14, 28)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
28 (15*) Driven to find meaning, purpose, or other internal significance
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Uranus, Neptune >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are assertively communicating about the importance of a particular set of ideals or concepts, seeking to interact with others in a sensitive way that persuades them of the value of your position. You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries. You are putting into practice the skills that you’ve developed, maneuvering cheerfully and flexibly through difficult and demanding environments learning to watch for signs of possible danger, aware that everything could collapse at any time. You are truly grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. You are recognizing your failures and the damage your blindness has done to others, facing it in this current moment; accepting responsibility for the damage you have done and seeking to make amends. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are aggressively repeating your ideas over and over with no sensitivity to how they are being received by others, so that they tune you out and stop listening to you. You are feeling trapped, powerless and impotent, unable to even consider that you might be able to make a change in the way you function. You are recklessly rushing into situations without evaluating how safe they are; failing to see the fracture lines that indicate danger to yourself and others. You are putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you, focusing only on yourself and feeling alienated, deserted and alone. You are getting caught up in your sense of pride and aggressively claiming what you desire without any concern for the effect your behavior has on others.

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 2 – Feb 4 (exact Feb 3) the Sun in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us at around 10:30 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:50 PM on Feb. 3, then decreasing and fading out around 10 PM on Feb. 4. This vibration has a strong need for freedom to be able to do what you feel moved to do in the moment without regard for the expectations of others or the consequences of your action. This is about both how you connect in with others in networks and how you can express yourself in a natural spontaneous evolving way. The challenge of combining these together can bring you a deeper understanding of what freedom really is. If you allow yourself to be spontaneous this tends to release some of this energy and makes this pattern somewhat easier to handle. Be aware that accidents sometimes happen under this influence, so double check your movement, especially when you are driving.
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 1:55 AM, peaking at 3:55 AM, the Moon in Cancer 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.
Starting at 5:15 AM, peaking at 7:15 AM, the Moon in Cancer is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a very nice flow of love and good feelings. This can be a special time to share with those you care about.
Starting at 7:27 PM, peaking at 9:27 PM, the Moon in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you are wanting to share spontaneous exciting experiences with your friends and companions. You need the freedom to be able to impulsively do what you feel like in this moment.
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 January 28, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Taurus acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Aquarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on February 5. This vibrational energy is especially focused in your interactions with others in community. This is an opportunity to work with others and grow and develop by working with ideas you get from your interaction with others. There is also the possibility of gaining understanding of what will help your community to work more effectively better meeting the needs of the people who live in your community. Combining the lessons of history with visions and dreams of a more ideal community is possible at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A flag turned into an eagle”. This is an opportunity to move into the expression of your true power, bringing your ideas into concrete expression, no longer worrying about proving yourself to others. Make sure you are not being swept away by the power and influence of those around you, being caught up in their ideas. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “A Christmas tree decorated”. This is an opportunity to call the light back into the lengthening night that light may be reborn in the darkness within you. Be sure not to get caught up in the darkness and being swallowed by it.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: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period for Pluto: Turning forward of Uranus: Resolution of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, 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 “!”}
