The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

For the last five days and today, Thursday (02/23/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Saturn joining with Uranus and Neptune (1*). There is a strong need to follow your own spiritual path seeking to sort truth from illusions. This is about opening up to your own sense of the world and life and testing what you think to figure out the long-term consequences. This vibration then calls you to pursue the greatest most embracing sense of truth you can find and to lovingly release the rest. There is a potential creative flow in this vibration that may bring you some insights into the spiritual patterns you are seeking to discover. There is a sense of some fundamental underlying truth or sudden revelations that you may have that can show you how beautiful, even amazing this other way of thinking is. The challenge is to open up to the awareness that isthere. (For VA Students: 14, 28)

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
10 (2*) Play and Creative Exploration with Others
14 (1*) Quiet, Inner Focus, Abstract thinking shared with others

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are operating in a rational, evaluative way that is balanced with intuitive awareness, experiencing a natural balance that enables you to respond appropriately in each situation. You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries. You are transforming 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. You are getting rid of all that is not truly part of your essence as a deeply spiritually aligned and complete person, while recognizing the truth of other people, seeing who and what they are in the essence of their beings. You are learning to work in cooperation with others to order and organize the wilderness with the inherent wildness and chaos of life being tamed, or hidden and buried, creating an ordered natural space that everyone can safely share. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being obsessed with work, constantly seeking to further your own ends, focusing on being in charge and in control of everything around 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 being lopsided and out of balance with your emotions overwhelming your rational responses and your intuitive awareness being ignored. You are refusing to look at distortions in your values and motives, clinging to rigid positions, deceiving, lying, and misleading those around you and being rejected. You are remaining in isolation and being overwhelmed by the wildness within and around you.

25 Pisces = Neptune is interacting with Saturn and Uranus [The purging of the priesthood] You are getting rid of all that is not truly part of your essence as a deeply spiritually aligned and complete person, while recognizing the truth of other people, seeing who and what they are in the essence of their beings and/or you are refusing to look at distortions in your values and motives, clinging to rigid positions, deceiving, lying, and misleading those around you and being rejected.

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 21 – Feb 23 (exact Feb 22) Mercury in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Gemini. This vibe is decreasing and fading out around 11:30 AM. This vibration is about learning and studying, finding ways to act based on new information that you may figure out. It brings a smooth flow of energy into the mind making it easy to learn things. Exploration is encouraged, just trying different things out. Let your curiosity out to explore.

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 2:44 AM, peaking at 4:44 AM, the Moon in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Gemini. In this 4 hr period you want to express your emotions in an active harmonious way sharing with others. This is a great time for group activities or meetings or for social sharing or for team sports.

Starting at 4:03 AM, peaking at 6:03 AM, the Moon in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Aquarius. This 4 hr period brings a focus on thinking and communicating those thoughts, so writing down your thoughts, and possibly communicating what you are thinking about in a discussion or just sitting and thinking for a while would be profitable. This has the emotions and the mind interacting well and is a good time to work on important projects.

Starting at 11:06 PM, peaking at 1:06 AM on Jan. 24, the Moon in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Aquarius.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 February 20, the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Pisces joining with the Moon in Pisces. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on March 21. This vibrational energy involves a very intense push to express the things that are deep within you. There is a compelling need to grow and expand through taking action that will let you be true to yourself. You have a potential opportunity here to connect into the awareness inside you and take action based on it in the world. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A squirrel hiding from hunters”. This symbol is about sensing that there are difficult patterns within you that you do not know how to handle, protecting yourself from these patterns while you develop the strength and support system needed to face these potentially destructive patterns. Make sure you are not being so threatened by the issues within you that you feel unable to function frozen in the dark unwilling to accept any help or support.

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: Mars >> 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 “!”}
